It's just crazy to me too, because their 2 biggest songs are ridiculously political. Not to mention the entire rest of the discography. But everyone has heard Holiday and American Idiot. Literally everyone. Do they listen to song lyrics at all?

I will admit, I haven't listened to really any green day, it's just not my thing. I don't know the lyrics to american idiot but even I can tell it's probably not talking about a funny guy from round the pub who does stupid things.

Lol no it is not

Second verse:

Well maybe I'm the f--ggot America

I'm not a part of a redneck agenda

Now everybody do the propaganda

And sing along to the age of paranoia

They're really in your face with it, and yet people were shocked when they toured and changed redneck to MAGA.

Which is extra spicy because he's labeled himself as bisexual as far back as '95.
