Music At Its Finest: 45 Of The Greatest Music Videos Of The ’90s!
Green Day – “Basket Case” – 1994 – Mark Kohr – 20 million+ Copies Sold
It might have seemed like a daunting task to come up with a music video to match the paranoid lyrics and manic energy of Green Day’s “Basket Case” but director Mark Kohr was clearly up for the challenge. The iconic video shows Trè, Mike, and Billie in a mental hospital as delusional patients who are given one last opportunity to become rockstars again.
With its audacious lyrics and rebellious music video, “Basket Case” got plenty of playtime on MTV and propelled the band’s album “Dookie” to mainstream success. In November 2021, Green Day dropped “Holy Toledo!,” their soundtrack for Hannah Marks’s romantic comedy “Mark, Mary & Some Other People.”
