Green Day didn't even have an audience in 2004. They were coming off two commercially unsuccessful albums, Dookie was more than a decade old, nu-metal was super-popular and they hadn't made new music in 4 years. American Idiot caught on with mall goths, not the other way around.

well with the exception of Wake Me Up

I feel like Wake Me Up alone refutes the point that this was pandering. Green Day tried connecting with Hot Topic kids by writing... an acoustic ballad? And how about the two 9 minute-long songs with five movements each? That's not exactly shit for the blink-182 crowd

"just paint-by-numbers Hot Topic punk. It's fucking soulless."
This is how I feel about everything 'mainstream' post 2000.
Music as a conduit for the ire faded and it was all about filling them stadiums and watching the money roll right in.
The void was created, next thing it's a bunch of mall goths and people thinking 'emo' was legit.

Like that's the most arbitrary and generic statement you could possibly make with no way to support it
whatsoever. That's a fucking YouTube comment

Bowling for soup is awful (although Stacy's mom is a funny nostalgic jam) but the clash aren't much better.

There were movements in the mainstream to counteract all that hair metal stuff though wasn't there.
Souless rock was accepted and gobbled up as the real deal by the masses.
Creed > Smashing Pumpkins

I find that many of the exalted 90s alt rock albums are extremely overrated but that's just me.

I'm not saying you dude I'm saying that was the consensus of the era (and still is) with nothing to balance it out because the fire was lost by the masses.
Who are the last rock act to shake up the majority? White Stripes??

I don't think anyone has ever said Creed is better than Smashing Pumpkins. I'm done until you can stop making unqualified statements.
I think you could say Arctic Monkeys shook things up
