I feel like they’re missing the point about self-absorption and not paying attention to what’s happening in the world right now. I think if you're focused on one thing or theme in the video then you're missing lots of points. There's so many different layers and themes in this piece of art. They were able to jam something deep and complex into a tune that's so simple in nature. I think that's what makes this a great single. Billie hasn't been this spot on for a long time. For me Rev Rad wasn't providing any answers or clarity on our situation just pointing out a lot of the chaos and feeling lost in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: ah forgot we had the video after a few days with FOAM, not sure how to compare that It’s def grown faster than the FOAM video but yes the fact that that came out awhile after the single did was a big part of it. I’m guessing the video was delayed because they completely changed it. On the other hand, the FOAM video had the advantage of the song being on the radio when it came out, at least alternative radio, and a lot of people were familiar with the song. OY doesn’t have that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 This deserves every award. 1 million grammys. 5 dozen oscars and Billie, Mike and Tre get an all you can eat buffet for free at a place of their choice. Oh and 95 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you feel like Green Day have sort of found themselves this time around and the songs are more focused or centered? I kind of get that from this era. They know what's going on. They don't like it. But they're gonna have a good ole time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of get that from this era. They know what's going on. They don't like it. But they're gonna have a good ole time anyway. It's too early to tell so I can't really be definitive yet on that. Oh Yeah makes a statement out of the song which was something they weren't going for with Rev Rad. I find Rev Rad to have somewhat of a philosophical approach. A lot of questions vs previous albums that were more driven on facts and bold statements intertwined into a fiction based on the non fiction story of someone's every day life in that environment. One thing I can say about FOAMF's lyrics is that for the most part the lines read out in a similar fashion as text messages. The lyrics are not indefinite like Rev Rad's but they leave you thinking about them deeper. A sender of a text can't convey tone which leads the recipient to receive it how they wish to receive it. They may disregard it altogether in the illusion that it really meant nothing. Some may find their own meaning to it but that doesn't align with the intention of the sender. Some may know the sender really well and understand their intricacies and receive it as intended. I think FOAMF is definitive but in it's own fun and lighthearted way but there's undertones and overtones of darker themes that may fly over the head of a listener who's not in the fan base and is more of a casual.

pacejunkie punk Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 I wonder when we’ll get the making of video for this one. I hope it’s better than the one they did for FOAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, quite a number of views is also caused by Ecuadorian soccer fans because at 1:07, you can see a flag of Barcelona Ecuador behind Mike😂 I had no idea, I just found out when I read the comments on YouTube and there are hundreds of those. Still hoping the video is also growing for its musical and visual content apart from soccer though, cause it's SO great🥰 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could put that out this week but we can also get something Tyla related since Wolf Sauce shared last week in their story and I wonder if they did something for this video. I think they are just behind the one with Tyla and it could be his video that Billie featured in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squashie Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I just realized I haven’t listened to Oh Yeah (or watched the video) today. This is what happens when you’re super busy doing things on your holiday (not vacation, actual holiday - martin Luther king day). i better remedy that ASAP.
