Huh? It is one of their all time most popular songs in America. Same with Holiday, which is a protest song about the American invasion of Iraq. It would be unexpected if they didn’t play one of these…
Given the political climate of America right now? I’m still giving them props for having the balls to come here, knowing ICE is all over it and playing an anti-america song. The only thing that couldve made it better is a RATM guest during that or the halftime show.
The current political climate in the USA is Trump being booed by crowds at public events and MAGA being roasted regularly by comedians on cable TV or massively popular shows like South Park. His political party is in a panicked crisis over upcoming midterm elections that they are certain to lose across the nation, and Trump is polling at his lowest ever approval ratings.
Green Day playing one of their most popular songs to an audience even more receptive to its message than when it was written is not very surprising. Like… it’s literally their 2nd most played song on Spotify…
Also what do you mean by Canadian? Green Day is an American band who’s members are from California
I looked it up, Wikipedia says that all the members are American. Edit: I wrote the complete wrong word. I said that they were Canadian instead of American. I was watching something while I was writing, should’ve paid more attention, mb.
And Tre was only born in Germany, and I’d bet my Lederhosen, that had something to do with the US military presence here [in Germany]. He grew up in the US though, and even though he may be not eligible to become president, he’s just as American as the rest of the bunch.
Fair, but being Canadians in America, that takes stones big enough that atlas couldn’t push.

They didn’t come here; they’re from here.

Most of the ones it could or would cause issues with just think it’s a popular song or unrelated to anything happening.
Would be completely different if a brand new song but conservatives just think it’s a fun song or about Iraq
Green Day have always been American… Their whole thing was that not all meth head trailer people have to have a ‘redneck’ mentality.
Are you saying that Green Day is Canadian? Or?
They are Canadian
they are Californian

Was it Weird Al’s “Canadian Idiot” by any chance?
Unfortunately not, it was something much less delightful.
Can’t tell if you’re serious, but none of them are Canadian. 2 are from Oakland, CA and one is from Germany.
Edit: Just read usernames, not serious, oops.

Oakland Canadifornia I guess. It’s just down the road from my igloo in Vancouver.
I was serious, I wrote the wrong nationality like a dumbass. I’m fucking stupid lmao
No, they are not.
Who’s Canadian? 2 of them are from California, one is from Germany.
This thread sounds like a lunch conversation over at ICE.
