Green Day fans who were not embryos in the ’90s probably remember walking down to the local record store (or begging your mom to take you to the mall) to pick up Dookie on CD — or cassette, even! Well, times have changed. During last night’s VMAs, ’90s embryos and ’90s kids alike were able to snap up Green Day’s new song, “Let Yourself Go” (in addition to their three upcoming albums, ¡Uno!, Dos!, ¡Tré!) in between tweets about how awesome Riff Raff is.
