While the punk originators remained underground favorites and were slow burns commercially, their heirs shattered commercial expectations for the genre. In 1994, Green Day and The Offspring each released their third albums, and the results were astounding. Green Day's \u003ci\u003eDookie \u003c\/i\u003ewent on to sell more than 15 million copies and The Offspring's \u003ci\u003eSmash \u003c\/i\u003eremains the all-time bestselling album released on an independent label.
