Green Day has always been a politically charged band. It comes as no surprise that entering an election year in 2024, the trio would have something to say regarding the upcoming climate our nation will soon face.

The group has sparked controversy with the choice to change lyrics from the original tune, which was already incredibly political to begin with. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong changed the “American Idiot” lyrics from “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda”… Read more »
Green Day‘s music has always been rooted in politics. Take any of their singles as an example of this, especially when it comes to the likes of “Holiday” and “21 Guns,” which tackle the overall themes of war and American imperialism. In a recent Guardian interview, Green Day had the chance to expand upon the current political issues that are at the forefront of their minds and their music. With the release of their single “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” Billie Joe Armstrong sings, “The American Dream is killing me/When it’s all double-talk of conspiracy.” Conspiracy theories are actually… Read more »

Last night, during Fall Out Boy’s headlining So Much (For) Tour Dust performance in London, the pop-punk mainstays brought special guest, Waterparks’ Awsten Knight, on stage to perform “Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy.” The brief collaborative moment was one to rejoice over as Waterparks and FOB fans previously speculated that a proper collaboration may be in the works between the artists and had hoped one may emerge on either FOB’s March release, So Much (For) Stardust or Parx’s April release, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. While neither of those things came to fruition, and let’s face it, there seemed to be very… Read more »
