Punk is ANTI-establishment. Green Day has lost the plot. The original is about idiotic Americans who mindlessly follow the narrative. Yet here they are, following the narrative. Did you go see this “Punk band” on Broadway? 😂😂😂
I don't know why people are surprised, they've spoken out against trump for years and have always been open about their politics. If one doesn't agree with their views they can still like the band, and if they don't think so then that's on them
Cuz trumps followers eat crayons and lick windows which is by design you think all those cutsto our public education system especially in rural America was accidental? Smart ppl are more tough to brainwash and deceive. Dumb ppl on the other hand believe just about anything 🧐
The guy has been out of office for four years and it’s mind-boggling that they’re still focused on him rather than the _current_ president, who just bypassed congress aiding Israel with a genocide being carried out in Palestine with over 20,000 people dead and just struck Yemen and helped bomb Lebanon. I’m not a Trump person, but ffs get with the times. Biden’s literally another George Bush.
My favorite part of everyone whining about it is how the majority of those same people are _just now_ putting it together that this song was a dig at Bush when it was released. Like I’ll genuinely start to believe that there’s no plausible way for them to raise their own bar for idiocy, and then somehow they find a way. They even consider it something to take pride in.
You have no idea where the idiocy lies, it's in billies head. He ripped into bush because he was "anti establishment" and anti war. But now he supports war and is supporting the exact thing he spoke out against. He's dumb
Exactly - which is why most ( Indie ) ones who KNOW them didn’t. He was just being true to form - no great surprise to those of us who actually know them.
Green Day do question everyone. Their entire song catalogue is about their perspective on life and many of those songs are social commentary. They hate Trump but also spot many flaws in society the way it is right now too.
Just because they said they're not part of a maga agenda doesn't mean they're 'cheerleading' for anyone. Just because every 80s hardcore band had the almost obligatory fuck Ronald Reagan song they never cheerleaded for anyone.
@EJLJ1986 I do appreciate any band for questioning and addressing societal ills. However, when they make bland, hackneyed statements like "Maga agenda" and (what sounded like) "kill trump" it does nothing to change minds or policy.

@@smarmyknack Great Question so I will now inform you! Billie Joe Armstrong has announced that “democracy is at stake” if Donald Trump achieves a second term in the White House. The Green Day frontman revealed he is backing Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the 2020 US presidential race in a post on Instagram. Sharing a brief clip of his band’s hit 2004 single “American Idiot”, Armstrong warned against the prospect of a re-elected Trump. “It’s 1 September 2020 and I am WIDE AWAKE IN AMERICA. This has been the most unprecedented year of our lives,” he wrote. “A pandemic. Racial uprising. As the song goes ‘wake me up when September ends’. I plead to everyone to WAKE UP AND REGISTER TO VOTE.” “I have not a single reservation in my mind,” he said. “All of my enthusiasm is for BIDEN/HARRIS! TRUMP HAS GOT TO GO.”
@@smarmyknack Even lifelong Democrat, Elon Musk, has criticized Green Day - "Green Day goes from raging against the machine to milquetoastedly raging for it," Musk wrote Sunday evening. As of 2022 he had NEVER VOTED REPUBLICAN but he had this to say in May 2022 - "In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican," he tweeted. "Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold," said Musk, the world's richest man. Not to mention Trump was a lifelong Democrat who decided to run as a POPULIST MODERATE in the Republican Party because he could no longer stand with the "BIG GOVERNMENT Party". Let us not forget BOTH SIDES complained he was "NOT a typical Republican" but rather was a Moderate Liberal Populist - which is why NOBODY gave him a chance to win the Republican Primary! He held too many Liberal Views and the new radical wing, the Tea Party, of the Republican Party would never elect him! He defeated the Extreme Right and gave the Republican Party back to the moderates - unlike the more moderate Liberals who lost their Party to the radical Extremist Progressives! Can you imagine America today if BOTH PARTIES were controlled by radical elements? I was shocked to see 8 RADICAL REPUBLICANS TEAM UP WITH DEMOCRATS to oust Speaker McCarthy! Why would the farthest Left team up with the farthest Right? Moderate Republicans are closer to Progressive policy beliefs on the Left so why team up with Far Right Extremists? As a Classic Liberal I have always believed the Extreme Left and Extreme Right were basically the same problem, the same Party, and this proves it! They are so far to the extreme they complete the circle by meeting at the same place!
It takes no courage whatsoever to diss or critisize right wing politicians for a famous musician. You're pretty much expected to. To be a Republican in the entertainment industry like Ted Nugent or Johnny Ramone however is a whole different story. THAT takes at least a bit of courage.
Ted Nugent is a self admitted peto (he said it himself in VH1 behind the scenes) who married his underage wife after becoming her guardian. I don't think he is a good representative to pick.
@@TheDarkestSecrets I think the point he's trying to make is that conservatives don't care and get on with it. Left liberal wokies take offense to everything that isn't in line with their narrative and needs to be cancelled.
@@TheOneTruePatriot The fact that he knew his son was dating a minor was awful. I was a big Green Day fan so the whole thing was pretty disappointing to me. Even recently I seen a clip of him talking highly about his son and his marriage. His wife even shown support to Joey as well. That whole situation really turned me away from Green Day and was really disappointing.
They're punk rock lol. Wherever an "alternative" person declares support for Trump, they're obviously pandering to his fans. As for music outlets, they obviously don't want to lose their butt rock readers. Business comes first.
I've been a green day fan for a few years and i swear ive heard them say that before and other anti trump things (as they should). I dont get why people are surprised.
It takes no courage whatsoever to bash Trump and MAGA. It's just the opposite. If they were to say "stop hating Trump and his supporters" they would be criticized.
Welcome to American news media. No matter how dumb or small, as long as it involves some sort of societal discourse, they are going to BLOW IT entirely sky high and make it the BIGGEST deal ever
I'd take them more seriously if they moved to the UK like they screamed they were going to do last June. Just like everyone else who declares "I'm moving out of this racist hellhole known as the US!" they haven't moved an inch or even prepared to do so. Just makes them look like whiny petulant children.
I think the real problem is Billie Joe's been threatening to leave America every time something right-wing happens, and at this point its the boy that cried wolf.
I saw Jello Biafra, NOFX, and Antiflag at the very Anti-Bush, punk voter tour, it hurts a bit to see good bands that cant tell Biden IS the new Bush but with Greenday its just, who cares lol I hope they have the time of their life, where's the vomit emoji??
Most overrated band of all time, used to write songs criticizing the media and government establishment, they have become exactly what their lyrics were speaking against. Same goes for Rage on Behalf of the Machine.
@@nodescriptionavailable3842 Same here. I also bought the Rock Against Bush comp. Today's Democratic Party is a farce, sadly. You know it's bad when they're retweeting neoconservatives at The Lincoln Project (an organization founded by John Weaver, a pedo).
In the old days (im 52) most punks disliked right wing fascist archetypes. There were tons of anti Reagan/Queen of England songs in the 80s. Calling people out, especially those in power has always been a punk tradition.
"Calling people out, especially those in power has always been a punk tradition." Except they don't, like you just admitted: "most punks disliked right wing fascist archetypes." Obama dropping more drones than Bush and their response was silence. Biden droning 7 Afghan kids and their response was silence.

The problem is that the band is not just putting down a small crowd of people, but basically half the country. Worse, they style themselves as a rebellious or punk-ish band, when in reality they are in step with the most powerful institutions in America. They are the furthest thing from a true punk, like Johnny Lyden.
So they shouldnt take a stance against a literal fascist who wanted to do everything in his power to overturn an election? Anyone who still supports the guy is complicit and your comment is incoherent.
@@EJLJ19 Theyre on the side of not Trump. Thats a side. Being english means you might have a more objective pov, and be able to see this. Or, you dont necessarily understand the either/or dynamic thats been forced on the American citizenry. How exactly does one do the math and come up with "voting for Cornel West is a vote for Trump"? Thats how far people will go to assert their side.
Great commentary! As for the 🤬’s saying it’s just a publicity stunt to sell records… have u actually SEEN them live…EVER? Uhm duh - he said the same ( and more !) at nearly ever live show he did while that X was in office. So yeah he’s been ‘waving that sword’ for years - far back into the Bush era btw. These R&R Hall of Famerz don’t need ‘stunts’ to sell records. They’re just true to themselves & their multitude of fans across the world & of course stupid main stream media is full of real 💩Dookie as it ever was. IF it sells them some records - great! But they don’t care & neither do their fans. They’re single Dilemma is already #1 on the charts ( 😂and the albums isn’t even out yet )
I liked em, but I just kind of realized at some point that they arent very good, BJ's vocals grate my ears in a strange way. The awkward shift from pop punk skater crew singing about girlfriends and weed, to a bunch of Avril Lavigne cosplayers writing depressing ballads and hard left radio rock was super goofy too. Between Dookie, Insomniac and Nimrod, there are probably about five or six songs I would ever care to hear again. I think that's mostly for nostalgia's sake, too.
I get Punk Rock bands are meant to be provocative, but in today's political climate, it's really NOT a good idea when it's a problem when we're trying to stop it.
If you want the worst take on anything in the world ever, you ask Billie Joe Armstrong. Or Roger Waters. Beyond that, to be 'punk' these days would be singing about how much you love America, how you are going to vote Republican and how much you love God.
Well if caring about people is woke then that's what I am, and a proud Green Day fan as always. I don't know why this is news if anyone has ever actually listened to the band and knows anything about them. It's like people flipping out over RATM 😂
Being 36 and growing up listening to Green Day, after American Idiot I had my fill of the political stuff and it just keeps circulating so by now it’s nothing new and really not that newsworthy. Like, yes we understand your stance Green Day, you don’t have to keep doing it for the sake of stating your stance. You done did it 20 years ago.
I'm sorry but isn't it more punk rock to support trump than to be woke? You know since everyone hates trump? honestly I wish theyd just leave thier shitty policics out of their music. No one ones to go to a show and think about politics in this day an age..now back when bush was president that shit was dope lol
Not surprised but it's to the point there probably getting paid to say that. Also why would they not speak against Biden or all the other atrocities?? This is not punk whatsoever now
Just because you're a proponent of free speech doesn't mean you can't disagree with someone. Use that brain, buckaroo, it's free to do and shouldn't be too difficult. 👌
@leighluvsrats you obviously don't understand the realities of our prevailing culture right now. Punk rock was anti-establishment, anti-authoritarian and opposed to corporate selling out. Everything that's evident in our culture today and what Green Day has become. Both left and right politics is capable of this too...is that too hard to understand?
Did anyone hear the awful cover of fairytale of New York that Ed Sharon did? The replaced the f-word with MAGA. It was just about bad enough to make me want to vote for trump 😂

So they shouldnt take a stance against a literal fascist who wanted to do everything in his power to overturn an election? Anyone who still supports the guy is complicit and your comment is incoherent.
What powerful organization
I seen Green Day live in 2017 in DC and they called trump a son of a bitch there. I still have the video clip
Green Day never claimed to support Republicans. 😂
I always thought that it was common knowledge that green day is absolute garbage I dunno why people are making a big deal out of a one second clip💀
Tbf, Dookie was good. Downhill afterwards, though. It's been like 30 years.
I've heard about this but haven't looked into it. I've chosen Dan to explain this situation to me, and im confident he will do a stellar job.
So shocking that the punk band is anti-fascism isn’t it? 😮
You're not anti-fascism if you overlook fascism coming from your own side. This is the most critical point people refuse to consider.
@@artis1969 Green Day aren’t on a side and I’m English.
@@EJLJ19 Theyre on the side of not Trump. Thats a side. Being english means you might have a more objective pov, and be able to see this. Or, you dont necessarily understand the either/or dynamic thats been forced on the American citizenry. How exactly does one do the math and come up with "voting for Cornel West is a vote for Trump"? Thats how far people will go to assert their side.
...and a fourth channel that only discusses green day topics of the day!
🥞 Happy New Year fae Scotland, lad! 🥞
🥞 And lang may yer lumb reek. 🥞
Great commentary!
As for the 🤬’s saying it’s just a publicity stunt to sell records… have u actually SEEN them live…EVER? Uhm duh - he said the same ( and more !) at nearly ever live show he did while that X was in office. So yeah he’s been ‘waving that sword’ for years - far back into the Bush era btw. These R&R Hall of Famerz don’t need ‘stunts’ to sell records. They’re just true to themselves & their multitude of fans across the world & of course stupid main stream media is full of real 💩Dookie as it ever was. IF it sells them some records - great! But they don’t care & neither do their fans. They’re single Dilemma is already #1 on the charts ( 😂and the albums isn’t even out yet )
I love Green Day but Dilemma has only reached 25 on New Zealand charts
I liked em, but I just kind of realized at some point that they arent very good, BJ's vocals grate my ears in a strange way. The awkward shift from pop punk skater crew singing about girlfriends and weed, to a bunch of Avril Lavigne cosplayers writing depressing ballads and hard left radio rock was super goofy too. Between Dookie, Insomniac and Nimrod, there are probably about five or six songs I would ever care to hear again. I think that's mostly for nostalgia's sake, too.
Aboot, I'm guessing you're Canadian. 😏
I get Punk Rock bands are meant to be provocative, but in today's political climate, it's really NOT a good idea when it's a problem when we're trying to stop it.
I saw the new years concert and um......there was nothing punk about that.
If you want the worst take on anything in the world ever, you ask Billie Joe Armstrong. Or Roger Waters. Beyond that, to be 'punk' these days would be singing about how much you love America, how you are going to vote Republican and how much you love God.
no billy. lol
Well if caring about people is woke then that's what I am, and a proud Green Day fan as always. I don't know why this is news if anyone has ever actually listened to the band and knows anything about them. It's like people flipping out over RATM 😂
This isn't even the first time they've done it they first did it in 2019 so I don't know why everybody's making such a fuss about it now
Total sidenote. I also decided the New Blink sucks. Too much Barker. in the mix. Can't hear guitar.
Being 36 and growing up listening to Green Day, after American Idiot I had my fill of the political stuff and it just keeps circulating so by now it’s nothing new and really not that newsworthy. Like, yes we understand your stance Green Day, you don’t have to keep doing it for the sake of stating your stance. You done did it 20 years ago.
Great video, Dan! You're a good man.
Like nothing says the rules and qualifications like the US constitution! 😅
I think the main thing is how media didn't recognize that it literally didn't change the meaning of the song. It just made it more modern.
7:41 good tip of advice !!!!
I clicked because you look like old idubbbz
FOX news 🙄🙄🙄
Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Joy Reid, etc. 😂🤣😂
Why are people surprised Green Day did something political 😆
The last album I cared about was warning ⚠️ ...then I grew up and got my own opinions.
Haven’t liked green day since pop disaster tour when they acted like they were better than blink.
I'm sorry but isn't it more punk rock to support trump than to be woke? You know since everyone hates trump? honestly I wish theyd just leave thier shitty policics out of their music. No one ones to go to a show and think about politics in this day an age..now back when bush was president that shit was dope lol
If you think its "PUNK" to support a fascist, please leave the room now.
What the actual fuck are you on about.
Not surprised but it's to the point there probably getting paid to say that. Also why would they not speak against Biden or all the other atrocities?? This is not punk whatsoever now
No, "emo 182" no it would not be.
Fuck off
?????? stupid
Green Day is fuckin dope
Republicans are just 10 years behind democrats on every issue so I don’t see a difference between them.
They’ve groomed you well.
They all agree on war.
@@Mr_Ashley who? I noticed this last year.
frandampt0n is funny as fuck.
OMG! A punk band has written a song about politics? I've never heard of such a thing!
FFS
Green Day, bunch of posers.
Green Gay
Green day is fucking lame. They haven't been cool since nimrod.
merry pancakes 🥞 🥞🥞 🥞🥞 🥞🥞 🥞🥞 🥞
I remember when they played that song they wrote about themselves in another country, "American Idiot."
Rock n Roll has always been damn the man not join the man. WTG Green Day!!!
I thought the ppl that are so upsetare the free speech warriors? Oh but not when the speech is something they dont like. Ok got it 👍 ❄️
Just because you're a proponent of free speech doesn't mean you can't disagree with someone. Use that brain, buckaroo, it's free to do and shouldn't be too difficult. 👌
Not really punk rock ethos at all. They appeal to the mainstream culture.
you obviously don’t understand what the punk ethos is if you think punk was ever in support of conservatives
@leighluvsrats you obviously don't understand the realities of our prevailing culture right now. Punk rock was anti-establishment, anti-authoritarian and opposed to corporate selling out. Everything that's evident in our culture today and what Green Day has become. Both left and right politics is capable of this too...is that too hard to understand?
Did anyone hear the awful cover of fairytale of New York that Ed Sharon did? The replaced the f-word with MAGA. It was just about bad enough to make me want to vote for trump 😂
Green Day you rock👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻 F trump
Took me a few mins of a google search, to see the outrage, your talking about people not doing research, while you didnt even do your own 😂😂😂😂
Im judging you by your appearance and not watching this video as a result.
Have a nice day, my friend
😮😮😮 it sure does take that edge away wow
They're not wrong, but, it really is just preaching to the choir 🤷♀️
Centrist pop punk band makes trite political statement
