10 Classic Rock Songs You Didn't Realize Were Incredibly Dark

10. Geek Stink Breath - Green Day

Once Green Day reached some of the biggest heights in punk history with Dookie, they came into the recording sessions for Insomniac with an axe to grind. After having one of the most successful albums of their career behind them, they had to face backlash from the legit punk crowd who thought that they were just using their roots as a stepping stone and didn't really care about real punk rock. All that frustration made for an album with a lot more teeth and songs that were a bit morbid in places.

Coming with a title like that, Geek Stink Breath isn't necessarily one of the most mature songs to be writing about, with most of the song sounding like a guy who has really bad breath. This is a lot more than just a song about needing to floss more though, as Billie Joe takes on the persona of a guy who is hooked on crystal meth, which is causing all of his teeth to fall out.

Even if the punk crowd had accused them of going a little bit soft this time around, having a line about finding treasure that sits on a thin white line isn't exactly subtle coming from the guys who literally named their band after weed. The music video didn't really hold back either, depicting one of the band's friends who had to get all of his teeth pulled out because of the problem that Billie talks about in the song. This might be one of the more celebrated cuts from this record, but reading the lyrics isn't really for the squeamish.
