When idiots realize American Idiot is actually about them.

How dare Green Day do the exact thing you would expect Green Day to do if you knew the first thing about Green Day!

Aww, did the “fuck your feelings” crowd get their little feelings hurt? Who are the snowflakes again?

If conservatives want to listen to music that echos what they hear in Murdoch media outlets, they might want to avoid punk. Also, hip hop and rap. Probably also want to avoid, metal, classic rock, folk, indie, jazz, and EDM. Best to just avoid cool, formerly cool, and or cool adjacent music.

You should be generally safe with pop country, Christian rock, and post-00’s butt rock.

From the people that brought you, "I liked RATM before they got all political"

Hey maga people, remember when you were really concerned about free speech and people being canceled for “just voicing their opinion”?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

*Green Day does Green Day thing*

White Supremacist MAGAts:

Okay how about we stop calling it a meltdown and start calling it a temper tantrum just like the ones toddlers throw. The solution for both is the same, putting them in a corner and ignoring them until they act like reasonable people while the adults keep things running

lol, fucking snowflakes getting upset over the tiniest of things.

What "Machine" did you think he was raging against? The dishwasher?

Did they expect Green Day to be pro-fascism?

That's okay. They can still sing "Born in the USA" because that song is super-patriotic and not critical of America at all.

Oh, wait....

He's the one who likes all our pretty songs And he likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun But he don't know what it means

At this point it is remarkably refreshing to see a childhood hero still be based. Feels like a breath of reality in a stuffy box of hypocrisy and pretension.

What's next are they going to complain a second time about rage against the machine?

American Idiot is the millennials' Fortunate Son

Politics? In my political rock opera?

Who gives a shit, they are professional victims.

Snowflakes melt, so it makes sense.

I think for the Trump supporter delusion to work, it generally has to include the assumption that they're in the majority. "The Silent Majority(tm)" and all that. Which is probably part of why they get so butthurt when a public figure tells them to go fuck themselves.

Green Day is anti-MAGA?!?

I’m shocked, just terribly shocked… /s

Not a single ounce of self awareness in that group.... Won't be long till these Maga Snowflakes are screaming for safe spaces away from the liberal agender.

Facts don't care about your feelings snowflake! Here you can have the participation trophies you give us when we were young, I think you need them more.

These people have no idea what their music is about, it seems. I normally have trouble understanding lyrics and have to look them up, but Green Day's are pretty straightforward

...when he sang out, “I’m not part of the MAGA agenda” during his performance. The original line is, “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda.”

So you were all okay with "redneck"? Are the rednecks offended by being associated with MAGA? What would be the reaction if some country singer sang "I'm not part of the woke agenda"?

Ugh. Ya know... the reality is that news outlets, Rolling Stone in this case, need to generate attention just as much as the outraged Trump supporters. I have to wonder if us normies are suckers. Why do we fall prey to the need to comment on something so irrelevant?

Edit: So, I just listened to and read the lyrics for American Idiot (it’s been a while and I wasn’t ever all that into Green Day). I hadn’t realized how on-point my comment was. It’s literally about the media manipulating us. Man, what a great song and meta article.

Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind-fuck America

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Well, maybe I'm the removed, America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody, do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Green Day took the stage during ABC’s broadcast of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest and used the opportunity to call out Trump supporters by changing the lyrics to their 2004 hit “American Idiot.”

Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong drew cheers from the live audience when he sang out, “I’m not part of the MAGA agenda” during his performance.

Many of them took to Twitter to bash the band and accuse them of being part of the “propaganda machine.” “Sad, they are irrelevant and get a chance to play and use it poorly.

During the band’s tour back in 2017, Armstrong would shout “Fuck you, Trump!” before launching into “American Idiot.”

“There are a lot of people in the quote, unquote red states that get a big sense of relief when I say something like ‘Fuck you, Trump.’ That’s because they’re in the minority where they live and at our shows they get this sort of release,” he continued.

Dick Clark Productions, which produces New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,  is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between PMC and Eldrige.

Republicans are the antithesis of punk rock.

Cult of covfefe gets triggered? I'm all for it.

It's not the right time to be sober

Now, the idiots have taken over

Spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

Mensa membership conceding

Tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding?

Watson, it's really elementary

Industrial revolution

Has flipped the bitch on evolution

The benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized What a bummer

The world keeps getting dumber

Insensitivity is standard

And faith is being fancied over reason

Darwin's rolling over in his coffin

The fittest are surviving much less often

Now, everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening

(guitar riff)

Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool

Now, angry mob mentality is no longer the exception, it's the rule

And I'm startin' to feel a lot like

Charlton Heston

Stranded on a primate planet

Apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground

With generals and the armies that obeyed them

Followers following fables

Philosophies that enable them to rule without regard

There's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated

Political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred

Majority rule, don't work in mental institutions

Sometimes, the smallest softest voice carries the grand

BIGGEST SOLUTIONS

What are we left with?

A nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists

Who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland

Pass on traditions

How to get ahead religions

And prosperity via simpleton culture (ah-)

The idiots are taking over

The idiots are taking over

• Fat Mike

Oh, no!

Did their feelings get hurt?

That's just a shame, if it keeps going like this anyone that acts like an antisocial asshole could be criticized for it, too.

It's a slippery slope, y'all /s

Tangential point but I do wonder how much of an effect Taylor Swift will have on voter turnout this year.

When don't they have a meltdown?
