I keep seeing these tweets - does it mean that GD could be up for a World Music Award?

No, the last World Music Awards were held in 2014

FOAMF gets a mention in this Rolling Stone article:

The Best Albums of February 2020: BTS, Bad Bunny, Green Day, and More

Here are the best albums of last month, from pop blockbusters to indie gems

Green Day - Father of All

The punk-rock icons sound refreshingly unburdened by legacy or accrued status on their latest LP. The glam-slam stomper “Oh Yeah!” summons Joan Jett’s version of “Do You Wanna Touch Me.” The speed-freak Merseybeat cheese of “Stab You in the Heart” is phony Beatlemania at its finest, right down to its screaming-girl crowd noise. A couple songs — the begging, pleading breakneck title track, the wonderful Dexy’s Midnight Runners-tinged mod swing of “Meet Me on the Roof” — play with echoes of Sixties soul.

Article/review here about FOAMF:

Of blood, punk rock and Green Day

My, how time flies! It’s been nearly three decades since Green Day kick-started the pop-punk ‘revolution’ with their 1994 breakout album “Dookie” and the trio of Billy, Tre Mike and will be coming to Manila late this month in what’s expected to be a fresh reboot of pop-punk hysteria in these parts.

Green Day are on a global tour on the heels of their latest release titled “Father of All Motherf..ers” and some statements from Billie Joe Armstrong regarding the last Grammy Awards are fodders to  potential controversies. Now, there’s real controversy with regards to the title of the band’s latest album which nobody even in the rock press doesn’t seem to mind. Perhaps, those who still listen to these pop-punk pioneers have already accepted the idea that Green Day are just going through their middle-aged asshole phase. Like, f*ck punk rock. They’ve matured enough to find joy in pre-punk rock & roll as evidenced by the garage rocking opener as well as the ‘60s Kinks-referencing revival in the handsome trio of “Fire, Ready, Aim,” “Oh Yeah”  and “Meet Me On The Roof.”  Through the remainder of the album, Green Day relish the feel-good vibes in the music of a more innocent time even if they’re now talking about stabbing you in the heart, junkies on high and things not going right.

Advanced reviews report that the band is still one of the best live acts on the planet. These mofos know how to please an increasingly fickle audience.

Father of All!!!!......and here's some nu and hair metal prior releases randomly surrounding it for some reason.  Also, The Sickness turned 20 so let's throw a copy of that in there too!

Haha

Listening to this album front to back for the first time since probably 2020- and it’s a really decent album! I don’t regret the fact that they released this album at all! 

It’s a straight up rock and roll album with some cool weird production bits included.  

Im honestly glad they went this direction instead of releasing another RevRad (still a fan of that album though)

am I the only one who loves I Was A Teenage Teenager? lol

I sure hope they play some of these songs live one day. Sugar Youth cant go to waste like that, MMOTR would be lots of fun live too.

It's a super catchy, fun song. I know there's a lot of cringe about the lyrics, but I don't care, being a teenager was cringy. It fits the atmosphere of looking back on that age.

Yeah the song is good.
Teenage Teenagers. Wooden floor made of wood. I was young when I was born.

It’s not as dumb as it appears, it’s meant as a joke. Instead of I was a teenage alien, werewolf, etc. the typical things that follow that line, he’s just saying he was an ordinary teenager and nothing special. Could he have developed that idea better in the rest of the song? Absolutely. But it starts with a decent idea.

That’s the problem I have with most of FOAM. Much of it starts with a good idea and then craps out before reaching the finish line.

Nope.  It's my second favorite off of FOAM.  Lyrics are far from Billie's best, but I love the music for it.
