They are extremely not part of the “MAGA program.”

Green Day started 2024 in the most Green Day method possible: by taking another snarling lyrical swing at Donald Trump. The band modified the politically charged lyrics to the title track from their seventh studio album, 2004’s “American Idiot,” throughout their Sunday night (Dec. 31) set on ABC’s Penis Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest
“I’m not part of the MAGA program,” vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong snarled from the phase, changing the initial line in which he specified that he was not part of the “hillbilly program”; click on this link to view video of the minute. As the four-times arraigned, two times impeached previous president ping-pongs in between court dates and project looks, the current lyrical slag from the veteran punk-pop trio was not a substantial surprise.
Green Day have actually long spoken up about their contempt for the previous truth star whose current speeches have actually included fascist-like expressions that have actually raised alarm amongst political experts for describing political challengers as “vermin,” language that echoed that utilized by Nazi leader Adolph Hitler. Back in 2019, the band didn’t keep back at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, where they debuted the anti-MAGA line in “American Idiot.” At the 2016 American Music Awards Green Day took goal at the then president-elect while carrying out “Bang Bang,” where Armstrong shouted”No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA,” in a nod to Trump’s recommendation by the KKK and the increase in racist attacks following his election.
As you may anticipate, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band who’ve happily waved the flag of contempt for authority and authoritarianism for more than 3 years drew the ire of a few of those MAGA Nation fans, in addition to X owner Elon Musk. “Green Day goes from raving versus the maker to milquetoastedly raving for it,” the controversy-loving Tesla/SpaceX CEO tweeted.
A few of Trump’s MAGA minions signed up with Musk in denigrating the group, with one X poster calling them”hard rock sellouts,” while Left: Rise of the Antichrist director and Hercules star Kevin Sorbo quipped”hard rock is professional huge federal governmentand conservative giant Catturd composed“absolutely nothing states ‘hard rock’ like Government bootlicking, millionaire sellouts using ABC.”
The relocation must not come as any surprise thinking about that throughout their 2017 trip, Armstrong would frequently scream”F– k you, Donald Trump” throughout efficiencies of “American Idiot.” And, after Trump’s mugshot was launched following his indictment for trying to hinder Georgia’s election procedure in the 2020 governmental race, GD launched an “supreme Nimrod” t-shirt with the scowling picture of the one-term president on it as an advantage for the victims of in 2015’s disastrous Maui wildfire.
There were, naturally, lots of GD advocates who praised the band’s prime-time television takedown, with one keeping in mind that the initial tunes were targeted at another Republican commander-in-chief, George W. Bush throughout the Iraq War. “To the bi– hes b– ching: Green Day was never ever in your corner‘American Idiot’ came out in 2004, who was president then? EXACTLY. That album was a middle finger to Dubya, you were simply too dumb to recognize it,” they composed. Another questioned if those grumbling about the Trump dump were ever truly taking note. “Why did Green Day need to insert politics into their efficiency of ‘American Idiot’ is a really unbelievable sentence to check out,” one X user composed.
