Completely misunderstanding American Idiot’s concept. It’s not about the Bush administration directly apart from two songs, and the rest of the album tells the story of kids growing up during that era. Songs like She’s a Rebel and St. Jimmy are written from a teenagers perspective, and then as those characters age and mature in songs like Homecoming and Whatsername, they look back and realize they were being rebellious for the sake of it. They’re written that way lyrically with an intention, it’s not just a generic rebellion song. That’s why it’s a rock opera

I think American Idiot shines the brightest in some of its deep cuts that dont get much recognition. St. Jimmy is arguably one of their most explosive songs written, same with Letterbomb. And Homecoming and Whatsername are very underrated gems to me. Especially considering Homecoming was the first song written that kickstarted the structure for the album that I'm a fan of, although I recognize thats exactly why not everyone loves it

I’m surprised with how Anthony didn’t really like Insomniac. That album is like Green Day’s version of In Utero. It’s more dark and slightly less poppy than it’s predecessor album and there’s a slew of amazing songs on Insomniac. I guess it seems like that album was “rushed” but I think that’s part of what makes that album so good. That band’s era seemed unique to them.

I know Green Day isn’t everyone’s cup of tea (especially on this channel) but I will always love them and appreciate all the memories they’ve given me throughout my life. They’ve been one of my favorite bands ever since I was like 6 years old, and that is never gonna change. They could release 1000 Fathers of All and that couldn’t stop me from loving them any less.

Insomniac is kick ass, the whole album doesn't slow down (except brain stew, still a cool song) while still being damn catchy. babs uvula who is such a tight song stuff like this feels like the band even evolved a little. Also I know its a compilation album but Shenanigans has some great stuff on it; Desensitized, scumbag, suffocate, I want to be on T.V, Ha Ha... some of my favs. AI is amazing jesus and Homecoming alone have so many great twists and turns and melodies, even as a kid they felt melancholy. and warning is a fun one, title song and minority alone should bump it to at least a C

“People seem to think I hate Green Day but I really don’t” proceeds to absolutely roast their entire discography except for like 1-2 albums
