Green Day Draws Conservative Rage for Anti-'MAGA Agenda' Lyric

Green Day used to be anti-establishment, now they are the establishment.

American Idiot is almost 20 years old and the message hasn't changed. Do these people just have zero media literacy?

"Since when did punk rock talk about politics "

Ummmm..... pretty sure that's a defining point.

Punk band upsets establishment. News at 11.

Never ceases to amaze me when “fans” of a band appear to completely ignore their lyrics. Are these people who only know “Longview” and “Time of your Life?”

What year is it? Are they going to be offended by SouthPark next?

Did these conservatives miss American Idiot, or are they just being reactionary as they so often are?

So Green Day does the most Green Day thing ever and the MAGA crowd loses their minds. Who are the snowflakes again?

Wtf were they expecting? Like, it's green day, they've always been pretty forward about their politics, and it's been in the lyrics the entire time.

Trump supporters are the American idiot

Again, they did exactly this last new year.

Imo, this is the coolest thing Green Day has done since "Nimrod"

"Conservatives freaking out that a popular pop punk band aren't actually right wing psychopaths?! News at 11"

I chuckled heartily earlier today when I saw a post on the front page of the R-word site that was posted to the conservative sub. It was a picture of the band holding up a mask of Trump with idiot written on it and a title along the lines of "After Trump assassination attempt, Green Day holds up head of Donald Trump".

Literally, it was just a mask of Trump with something like "Idiot" written on it from a band that quite literally is known for criticizing the government (understatement).

They were making it sound like it was an implicit threat to Trump and hateful rhetoric inciting further violence.

I swear there must be some brain damage involved in those types of conclusions.

What a bunch of snowflakes.

Oh do conservatives not like a bisexual man singing about how bush is a war criminal anymore?

ROFL!! Apparently the folks complaining haven't actually ever listened to Green Day. Though the severed Trump head at the concert was probably a bit much.

Green Day drew controversy among conservatives during their first U.S. gig this week after changing a lyric to anti-MAGA.

I don't really see the controversy honestly. Band modifies their own lyrics in a way magas don't like. Magas whine like the snowflakes they are, rest of world shrugs. (And I think they have done this at least one other time recently.)

I was kind of amazed that neither this Dropkick Murphy's speech nor this Dropkick Murphy's album, nor especially this song from that album, seems to have generated any anger from that crowd. They seem like exactly the sort of band that magas might just have assumed were "on their side."

It's almost like they have never actually looked at the lyrics of a green day song.

Awww. Cry

And of course they love The Boss's Born in the USA.

Snowflakes. There's nothing too petty to get their blogosphere fired up and pissing themselves everywhere.

A “severed head”? Jeez, where are these people’s minds at?

Oh no
