Green Day Basket Case on Street

"Basket Case" by Green Day is a song from their 1994 album Dookie. The song explores themes of anxiety, paranoia, and mental health, reflecting lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong's struggles with panic attacks at the time. Featuring fast-paced punk rock instrumentation, driving guitar riffs, and emotionally charged lyrics, the song asks if the listener has ever felt out of control or like they're "going crazy." With its relatable lyrics and energetic sound, "Basket Case" became one of Green Day's most popular tracks, helping to propel the band to mainstream success. The accompanying music video, set in an abandoned mental institution, adds to the song's themes of mental instability. #GreenDay #BasketCase #Live #Rock
