Popular Post blackplanet Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 The people bitching about Green Day going "woke" or whatever about as ridiculous as the people complaining about Rage Against the Machine going "woke". Of course the band that brought Pansy Division out on tour with them all the way back in the 90s (right after they got big) is gonna be more left-leaning. Also, Billie's been saying "I'm not part of a MAGA agenda" during live performances for a while now. I also don't remember these people getting nearly as angry when he was saying "No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA" during Trump's presidency. Don't get me wrong, some people reacted poorly to that, but it wasn't quite on this level. Anyway, I hope the new album goes to number one on Billboard just to spite these people. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason for the bigger reaction is twofold: one, not as many people saw the AMAs as they do the Dick Clark NYE on ABC. And second, I think we’re even more divided and the right are even more hostile and extreme culturally than they were back in 2016 when Billie did that awards show. Stuff doesn’t fly under the radar anymore like it did 5-10 years ago 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Grohl Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 This is off topic but I gotta say aside from Green Day, I really liked Janelle Monae's performances so much I checked out their newest album. I like it! Monae's always been on my radar but I never really stopped and listened to any of their stuff. I love the vibe of the album. It's I'm hot, I'm queer, I'm free vibes. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 It’s absolutely beyond me that conservatives and right-wing activists and their supporters all around the world actually believe that they’re somehow part of a revolutionary anti-establishment movement. These people are obsessed with free speech and constantly claim that the mainstream media is taking this right away, yet they can’t deal with even the slightest criticism. So good job, Green Day. I’d actually be disappointed if these people supported the band. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stories and songs Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 @AlissaGoesRAWR My dad was on the phone with my very conservative grandmother yesterday and started to tell her I was “up late on NYE to watch…” and I started violently shaking my head no. 😂 All the butthurt weirdos fail to realize that bitching about Green Day only boosts their engagement. We’ll take it, thanks lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The media is once again blowing things out of proportion. The Maga comment and the gay kiss at New Years.....get a grip. nobody in real life cares. I know a lot of Republicans here in the south that love Green Day even though they don't align with Billie's opinion. They just say "yeah, those California folk are liberal" but there's no hate behind it. Anyhow. This Era rules. Let's not let anything get in the way of a good time. Life during wartime. It's a perfect crime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially love the people claiming that Republicans are now anti-war despite the fact that every primary candidate (including Donald Trump) has threatened to invade Mexico if elected.

DookieLukie Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Subscribing to either side (Republican or Democrat) is pro-establishment. If you identify with either label, you are part of the crony establishment. Just being Democrat is popular now doesn’t mean that group is anti-establishment. Even in recent history, they are part of the problematic system. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunt Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Do you guys remember when Billie sang with morrisey and a good chunk of you had meltdown?…. No?…. Me either… …or when they recorded bill mahers theme song? the point I’m making is the both sides get defensive about shit. The left gets just as defensive over Barack Obama or Ruth Bader Ginsberg and shit as much as conservatives get defensive over Donald fucking Trump. It’s not shocking for people to show retaliation to political opinions anymore unfortunately. If Billie came out and yelled “fuck Barack Obama” my guess is that an equally fair amount of people would be just as upset and be calling for the band to be cancelled. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stories and songs Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Apparently Fox News talked about this a couple times too. This is truly so funny. I’m glad they’re getting lots of coverage ahead of the new album release! 😂 @CuntThe reason why this is so goofy isn’t because both sides get charged over things; that’s not the point. Of course everyone gets defensive about politics. The reason it’s hilarious-bordering-on-feeling-like-satire is because Green Day has been loudly liberal their entire career, so any conservative believing Green Day has been lost to “wokeness” or had any love for Trump is just a complete moron. A more appropriate comparison would be if liberals were shocked that Kid Rock said shit about Obama. Because of course he would. We all know this already. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post blackplanet Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 I wouldn't care one way or the other if Green Day said "fuck Barack Obama", honestly. Same if they spoke out about Joe Biden. It's entirely possible to be anti-MAGA as well as critical of Obama/Biden, lol. To me the conservative outrage about Green Day's politics is about as ridiculous as when people were shocked to learn about Rage Against the Machine's very obvious political beliefs (that band isn't exactly subtle). It's just really really absurdly funny. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So people are way overreacting but I don’t think it’s fair to say (republicans/democrats/trump fans/trump haters are bad) the world isn’t blank and white you can have different beliefs then your favorite band…either way glad they are getting traction they sounded great as normal….anyone have the coverups set I'm not a fan of either major party really maga seems like the tea party under another name but Trump definitely leans more like a dictator the you're either with us or against America! bs he farts out he quoted hitler I mean what kinda nazi propaganda is that? I mean there's a part of me like dude focus on saviors you don't need this kinda distraction while trying to promote an album but billie has a right to speak his mind just like anybody else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C’mon that’s just ridiculous. Just as much people bitch about Dave Chapelle, Ricky Gervais, Bill Maher, or Joe Rogan as people that are bitching about Green Day. You cant just expect everyone to know everything about Green Day no matter how open they’ve been about it. If you’re gonna criticize or praise anything MAGA it’s going to get reaction good or bad no matter what. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post blackplanet Posted January 3 Popular Post Share Posted January 3 No one's saying they aren't allowed to react, it's the fact that they seem totally blindsided by Green Day's views that's funny. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not even that everyone is blind sided. It’s just that people are fed up with the other side always swinging their dicks around. Everything is so polarized because when left wing people started going around canceling a few years ago it this exact "counter cancel culture" that you’re seeing with this exact situation. This is what happens when one side just starts going around and calling people racists and misogynists and Nazis just for fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petros Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Ιf there are any right-wing people that are fans of Green Day, well they shouldn't.
