I like how the end of this article lists like forty artists who have been on their podcast as if search engines still work that way.
My gasts are flabbered
Billie Joe has been staunchly anti-Republican for decades now. Really missing the *new* part of “news” aren’t we?
Next you’ll tell me they didn’t care too much about Bush!
My politics largely align with Green Day’s but American Idiot was an embarrassingly bad political song and album by a bunch of guys in their early 30s. Now those guys are in their early 50s and nothing has changed. They still even look like they get most of their clothes from Hot Topic.
The punkest punks.
There’s a big surprise. I think I’m gonna have a heart attack and die from that surprise.
Were the people surprised by this not around during the Bush years?
Nope and I hope other artists of all ilk start saying it loudly!

American Idiot was written during the George W Bush years. Why the right has its panties in a wad about this is ridiculous. Pretending that they don’t know most popular music is written by the left and are critical of the right. They try to co-op songs like Twisted Sister’s “We’re not Going To Take it” and Petty’s “Won’t back Down” because they just”think” these are anthems written for them. Ignorant people
It’s okay they can always fall back on Rage Against the Machine for their rallies…….
GOP’s would have been jamming to American Idiot 20 years ago with no idea that it was anti bush.
Exactly. This is so on-brand as to be completely unremarkable.
This just in… People of average and up intelligence don’t like Don the Con.
what’s more so is why does anyone like Trump
Green Day hates things that the general public hate to stay relevant. Welcome to the music industry!
“No thanks, I rather listen to Rage Against the Machine” ~ Surprised Pikachu Republicans
Green Day hates America in general. Didn’t the lead singer state he was moving out of the country when trump won. Empty promises!
When are people going to stop talking bout that orange dude
Punk is anti fascist, it always was. It’s a push against conformity. People outside of the norm are not part of the conservative agenda.
The only thing they have in common is their love for teenage girls.
It’s 2024. If you’re surprised that Green Day is left leaning, you are a moron.
It’s shocking to those on the Right because they have the media literacy of moldy bread. These people couldn’t discern the message of Born in The USA or Fortunate Son. Hell they couldn’t discern the message of literally all of Rage Against the Machine’s discography.
Just another liberal media lie like how Rage Against the Machine aren’t hardcore Paul Ryan fans and Springsteen didn’t vote Reagan.
Most people living in the US with even a trace of intelligence hate the fucking prick.
Anyone who is surprised by this is dumb enough to support trump I suppose
This just in:
The band who called Republicans stupid in 2004 is now calling them stupid in 2024.
More at 6:00.
Most punk rock thing since MAGA was introduced, from a band that was shunned by classic punk rock
Let’s change our song about one shitty republican to another. That’s all they had to do and I’m totally for it.
An American Idiot would be.
It just makes me love them even more.(and no, not surprised in the slightest.)
No and you shouldn’t be either.
I haven’t heard anything about greenday in a decade, but I’d be shocked if they didn’t publicly say they hated trump in 2015
Trumpers are surprised. They think they’re 90% of America. When they get hit with reality they get shocked.
The same folks shocked by this wonder when Star Trek and Rage Against the Machine got “political.”
So they’re smarter than the average Trump supporter? Shocking!
It’s so crazy that conservatives are arguing that green day is supposed to fighting against the machine and that’s what the Republican Party is doing against the oppressive Democrats in their view
They continue to be “stunning and brave”.
They haven’t been great for 20 years It’s no loss.
Anyone who *is* surprised wasn’t paying attention to their lyrics. Next question.
never listened to green day. but now i love them. 😍
