Why to people think the AI is a bush hating album. Never in the album is he even mentioned, and there are only 2 songs that are even remotely liberal biased. The rest are what you make of them. |
You seriously don't know? Wow... okay, well in the beginning Green Day was a somewhat popular punk band that flirted with pop-punk music, but for the most part had the attitude and flair of being punk. Dress like slobs, make asses of themselves, Billy Joe was vulgar and fun. Now turn to 2004 where Green Day is making ultra pop-punk music for their album "AMERICAN IDIOT" (gee I wonder who that's in reference to). Now watch the transformation that all the members go through eventually ending up looking (and frankly sounding) just like Good Charlotte. As Ed The Sock would say. Dye the Backstreet Boys hair black, put on some mascara, and voila. You've got these guys.
As for the liberal content...all popular music outside of country has liberal undertones. It's hip and cool to be anti-conservative. So now everyone wants to be just like NoFX and Anti-Flag, but with less substance.
Listen to songs like "Welcome to Paradise" and compare that to "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." Then check out the music that Good Charlotte churns out and tell me that Green Day hasn't morphed into a thirty year old version of GC that doesn't have their own clothing line and the singer isn't dating Hillary Duff...yet.
edit: I'm not saying that Green Day are bad, just that they aren't as good as they used to be, and that I find their music to be shallow and boring now.
