GD's always evolved, musically, lyrically and like topically and as people, do you really want a 37 year old man writing about masturbation? surely that would be pretty creepy. anyway if you follow the media man you probably think every song on Dookie is about masturbating and every song on American Idiot is a political rant. 2 songs from Dookie were about masturbating, or one and a half really cause Longview can be just about being lonely and lazy and lazing around the house or whatever, theres only one like that directly goes on about wanking "when masturbations lost its fun you're ****ing lonely" and then All By Myself. for every record they always go deeper into things that matter to them which is going to happen to someone who is growing into middle age. if they wanted to sell out then Warning was their chance, the height of pop punk and blink 182s and sum 41s and what nots, but did they do that? no. they got into things that were a bit more rootsy, topical, with age they start absorbing more information and Billie was becoming bolder as a songwriter, every record has been a step forward and a step deeper into things that matter to them
