Green Day is celebrating the 30th anniversary of their album "Dookie" by raffling off unique editions of its 15 tracks. Instead of remastering the songs, they have been "demastered" into unusual formats like wax cylinders and Game Boy cartridges. The raffle features various entry prices, starting at $19 for a chance to win a MiniDisc reproduction. The event will end on October 11 at 11 am ET, and fans can stream teasers of the tracks on the Dookie Demastered website. This release highlights a trend where analog formats, like vinyl and cassette tapes, are gaining popularity despite the rise of digital streaming. Green Day's approach reflects a playful nod to the album's punk roots and its enduring appeal.
