Trump Supporters Are Losing It Over Green Day Changing The Lyrics To One Of Their Most Popular Songs
Last night, Green Day performed on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.
One part of their performance has gone super viral, and it's this moment during their song "American Idiot."

They changed the lyric from the 2004 song from "I’m not a part of a redneck agenda" to "I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda."

This obviously pissed MAGA lovers off.
Some people called them a "woke joke."
Other people called them "corporate fake punk."
And this person said they just lost 80 million listeners.
But besides the deeply hurt woke-hating mafia, most people loved it.
Green Day is still sounding awesome I don’t care what anyone says. pic.twitter.com/wsDKJIpCNT

"Don't worry, MAGA — you'll always have Ted Nugent and Kid Rock," this person said.

Other people are pointing out that Green Day has always been political.
Before all you conservatives get all angry and say, "You lost half your fan base, that's what you get for going political" Green Day has always been political American Idiot was about Bush for God's sake. This was during 2016 election. https://t.co/x9D9rGLua3 pic.twitter.com/ZUYfORfLER

First of all, the song "American Idiot" is literally about the Bush administration.
Second off, Billie Joe has always been vocally anti-Trump. In 2016, he compared Trump to Hitler.
Third, in 2022, he said he was renouncing his citizenship after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
And lastly, as this person said, the man came out as bi in the '90s!
billie joe armstrong came out as bi in the 90s and NOW the right is realizing green day is "woke"?

Ultimately, the writing has always been on the wall. You just weren't listening!
