VivaLaGloria

Fabulous Outfit by Gogoat tysm ;v;

A gift from Skarlette because we gift each other things sometimes. I scried her and figured out she bore a resemblance to the cover of '21st Century Breakdown' by Green Day, so I named her after my two favourite songs of the bunch: ¡Viva La Gloria! and ¿Viva La Gloria? (Little Girl). She was born a few days following the album's 10th anniversary!

21st Century Breakdown is the eighth studio album by American rock band Green Day, released on May 15, 2009 through Reprise Records. It is the band's second rock opera, following American Idiot (2004), and their first album to be produced by Butch Vig. Green Day commenced work on the record in January 2006 and forty-five songs were written by vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong by October 2007, but the band members did not enter studio work until January 2008. Armstrong has described the album as a "snapshot of the era in which we live as we question and try to make sense of the selfish manipulation going on around us, whether it be the government, religion, media or frankly any form of authority". The singles "Know Your Enemy" and "21 Guns" exemplify the themes of alienation and politically motivated anger present in the record.

Critical response to 21st Century Breakdown was generally positive. The record achieved Green Day's best chart performance to date, reaching number one on the album charts of various countries, including the United States Billboard 200, the European Top 100 Albums, and the United Kingdom Albums Chart. It was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album at the 52nd Grammy Awards held on January 31, 2010. As of December 2010, 21st Century Breakdown has sold 1,005,000 copies in the United States and more than 4 million worldwide.
