First, it would be the fact that Green Day pushed through the rules of punk rock by signing into major record company, this paved way for many other punk bands to be able to sign to major record labels and reach a wider audience.

Another contribution is American Idiot the Musical, most rock bands would never have dreamed of being able to turn an album into a musical and actually become succesful in doing so.
