Green Day turned nostalgia into huge profits on their summer Saviors Tour, with the pop punk legends celebrating the 30th anniversary of their Grammy-winning album Dookie by playing the album in full during their shows. Now Green Day are once again tapping into the deeply rooted nostalgia of their aging Gen X fans by releasing Dookie Demastered, a collaboration with the art studio BRAIN that reworks all 15 tracks on the Double-Diamond selling album to be played on unconventional formats from our distant past. In their joint Instagram announcement video for the unique project, you see and hear Green Day anthems being played on objects like Teddy Ruxpin, a Game Boy, a Fisher Price Record Player, an electric toothbrush, a floppy disc, an answering machine, and even Big Mouth Billy Bass. The clip features this self-deprecating caption, “Dookie Demastered: 15 tracks. 15 formats. The way it was never meant to be heard. 30 years later.” (Consequence of Sound)
