they nailed the core message: Americans aren't paying attention and taking the media at face value, which got Bush reelected, the patriot act enacted, and secured more forever wars in the middle east. In the early 00s, this was 100% attributable to right wing media influence.
That just isn't the case anymore. The right has no media influence, yet everything is still shit in all of the above. but now that the media is all left-wing influence, the entertainment class thinks it's all just those stupid MAGAtards. they will literally perform a song that is a complete condemnation of them and everything that they do, yet change that one line and they think they are still the scrappy rebels fighting the power.
After Obama's presidency, I'm 100% convinced that if Gore or Kerry had gotten in in place of Bush, we'd still be almost exactly where we are today. Those worthless fucks would have let the "intelligence" agencies run the country exactly the same way Bush did.
Though if they had gotten in instead of Bush, maybe Obama wouldn't have been able to ride the wave of anti-incompetent-establishment sentiment to the white house... Which would have been a big win, because Obama is probably the most corrupt, partisan political hack to have inhabited the office in my entire lifetime.

Getting the wars started was a joint effort by both branches of Operation Mockingbird. Yellowcake lies were repeated all over. It was only after troops were committed that the left media was instructed to oppose it.
I bought the album they released after American Idiot, shortly after it was released. After listening to it, I thought to myself: "They should have stopped making new songs after American Idiot".
They had one hit and then kept the whiney tone for all their songs
I don't mind some artists that turn out to be leftists as I can seperate the art from the artist but at least make GOOD music, that broken dreams song is more annoying than any Nickleback song.
Remember when his nudes got leaked during the fappening and they were all him posing with his ass out like a girl? Yeah. Extra emphasis on the "maybe im a faggot" lyric eh
I don't know you can reach the point of thinking, "wanting to make my country great is antithetical to my worldview" and not realize you're the baddie.
I was just thinking this too. It would be one thing if it was expressly imperialistic, an agenda of conquest, but it's not. They seem to be against the very idea of excellence. It makes them immensely uncomfortable. I wonder why...
That's true. A remarkable amount of leftist effort is used in the denial of how destructive their policies are. It's a pathology of some kind (at least, when it's not a cynical strategy).
Basically anyone who expressed an antiwar viewpoint during Iraq II is a total hypocrite, except for Noam Chomsky and a couple of other people. That includes the whole Democrat voterbase.
Anyone who didn't realize those dildo hiders are far leftoids, has been living under a rock. They've been openly anti American for about thirty years.
American Idiot is an excellent song. Too Bad it flew over the heads of the people who perform it.
Other than one mention of "rednecks", it could literally have been written by Trump, or one of his supporters.

Even at the time, the Neo-Cons had a middling influence, almost entirely due to the Evangelicals being used to propel their careers.

I enjoyed Canadian Idiot by Weird Al more.
I guess they can join with Rage for The Machine on the great government bootlicking tour of the 2020s.

Write a new song, you hacks.

They were a big deal in the 90s with multiple hits.
The problem is that the 90s were 30 years ago now.
Green Day: "We're actually DeSantis fans. Shoutout to onetruephilosoraptor"
You are thinking about me this much? I am living rent-free in your head clown.
Lol I don't hold anything against you, I'm just making a joke
Unbelievable that someone would remember that you also commonly post on this forum, along with dozens of others, right? Retard.
The DeSantis camp's inability to take a bit of shit and not act like retards over it is a big part of why his political career is likely over.
You don't have to follow their lead.
DeSantis will serve as a two term governor even if he loses the primary this year.
His career will be fine.
Trump cultism on the other hand dies in 2024.
Trump will lose to Biden and Biden will throw Trump in prison.
Fixed that for you.
As punk should be.

I'm glad I don't remember that but it's funny to know
why do you want this country debased and debauched? this country is the only reason anyone knows who you are.

Green Day haven't been good since abandoning punk and going pop. Sellouts.
How many of these so-called 'counterculture' types haven't turned out to be complete frauds?
Jamiroquai is a prime example. They rose to fame on a nineties 'anti-war' and alarmist 'environmentalist message' platform and by their second album they were racing unaffordable luxury race cars in their music videos and priding themselves on their glitzy lifestyles.
For the record, Cosmic Girl is still one of my favorite songs. But frauds are frauds.

Very apt.
I always liked Green Day’s music but was aware of their politics. Sadly this doesn’t surprise me
Old news. They've been doing this for years now. I saw them in 2021 and they did it. They've probably been doing it since 2016.
No one is allowed to get as big as they got without Epstein blackmail.

Thereby proving, now and forever, that they are American Idiots.
A painful attempt to stay relevant. The striped arm socks just don't look so good at 51, billie boy.
