Green Day’s ImageBefore their image was very colourful and bright which shows their youthfulness.

This shows they are appealing to a young, punk audience as their hair are un-conventional colours.

Tre punk.

Now their image is very subdued compared to their pervious image which shows they are maybe settling down and it’s almost as if they are growing with their audience rather that trying unnecessarily to stay current.

This shows they are appealing to an older audience because of how they are dressed however their music still has the same youthfulness.
