P00ptartGreen Day just played "American idiot" at the Superbowl!
LemmyoutofhereThe people who this is directed at, won’t understand it’s about them.
Fair, but being Canadians in America, that takes stones big enough that atlas couldn’t push.
Are you saying that Green Day is Canadian? Or?
They are Canadian
I looked it up, Wikipedia says that all the members are Canadian.
Can’t tell if you’re serious, but none of them are Canadian. 2 are from Oakland, CA and one is from Germany.
I was serious, I wrote the wrong nationality like a dumbass. I'm fucking stupid lmao
And Tre was only born in Germany, and I’d bet my Lederhosen, that had something to do with the US military presence here [in Germany]. He grew up in the US though, and even though he may be not eligible to become president, he’s just as American as the rest of the bunch.
WFHUnfortunately not, it was something much less delightful.
No, they are not.
The D Quuuuuillthey are Californian
Who’s Canadian? 2 of them are from California, one is from Germany.
This thread sounds like a lunch conversation over at ICE.
More like a group of birds “they’re Californian” over and over. I wish people would read the full thread before replying, so if you make a mistake you don’t have 40 lemmings saying the same fucking thing over and over.
mercIf you don’t like it, you should have edited your posts as soon as you found out they weren’t Canadian. It’s now what, a day since you posted that they were Canadian here, then doubled down on that here, and you still have yet to edit either of those posts to indicate you now realize you were wrong.
Huh? It is one of their all time most popular songs in America. Same with Holiday, which is a protest song about the American invasion of Iraq. It would be unexpected if they didn’t play one of these…
Given the political climate of America right now? I’m still giving them props for having the balls to come here, knowing ICE is all over it and playing an anti-america song. The only thing that couldve made it better is a RATM guest during that or the halftime show.

Most of the ones it could or would cause issues with just think it’s a popular song or unrelated to anything happening.
Would be completely different if a brand new song but conservatives just think it’s a fun song or about Iraq
It’s literally their 2nd most played song on Spotify…
they’re from Oakland, CA
Green Day have always been American… Their whole thing was that not all meth head trailer people have to have a ‘redneck’ mentality.
MinnesotaGoddamno this is real now california is canada now no takesbacksies y’all canadiennes are stuck with us nyeh nyeh
Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt were born in Oakland, California. Frank Edwin Wright III (Tre Cool) was born in West Germany, because his father was a US Army pilot, they relocated to California. The band was formed in the Bay Area. There really isn’t anything about the band that’s Canadian.
Did they change the lyrics? I was trying to listen but was a noisy environment at my house.
That’s disappointing
wonderingwandererMaga heads would have exploded a la Mars Attacks
They would sing along having no idea it was making fun of them.
Lol they’d turn it into their anthem
Put it up there with “Fortunate Son” and “Born in the U.S.A.”
They censored the word “mindfuck.”
cabbageThey’ve changed it in recent years, apparently changed it back for the half time show.
I suspect a lot of things would have been said had the artists been allowed to say what they wanted. I’m impressed and disappointed by their professionalism.
Then again, within the constraints of not saying anything political, it seems both Bad Bunny and Green Day did a decent job getting their points across.
like many popular songs by bands that have continued performing over decades, lyrics evolve.
Which ironically makes Green Day American Idiots.
Unfortunately no, I was hoping for a direct call out too
A_AAmerican Idiot
Lyrics.
Don’t wanna be an American idiot
Don’t want a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sound of hysteria
The subliminal mind fuck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn’t meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We’re not the ones meant to follow
For that’s enough to argue
Maybe I am the f a g g o t
America I’m not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Everything isn’t meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We’re not the ones meant to follow
For that’s enough to argue
Don’t want to be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
Calling out to idiot America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Everything isn’t meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We’re not the ones meant to follow
For that’s enough to argue
I’m assuming the line before was the reason they skipped that part.
Fair but at the Superbowl? I’m surprised Trump hasn’t already posted an angry rant about it.
The irony was lost on the crowd and I am sure someone will need to explain it to the Orange Turd
“Sir, they hate America and are leftist terrorists who should be arrested by DHS, very strongly.” All you do is just keep repeating that. He won’t remember what you said five minutes ago.
He probably stroked out and had amnesia
Yeah at this point it’s just a popular song. Those it’s aimed at aren’t able to pick up on it or can’t understand what it’s about
