For those who just want to see the picture.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 82 points 3 months ago

I mean, you're not going to find a bigger American Idiot..

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 28 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Or simply a better example of a Basket Case

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

To be totally fair to Drumph, he hasn't had a guest spot on "My 600 lb Life," yet. There are clearly bigger American Idiots out there. He can't even be the biggest idiot, especially with those tiny baby hands.

[-] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 3 months ago

Fucking right wingers, freaking out over a Halloween mask.

If you're going to tell me it's a severed head, there better be a bloody stump at the bottom.

Left of center punk band shocks conservatives.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 39 points 3 months ago

Wait until they hear what the living legend Henry Rollins thinks about everything they hold dear 😁✊

[-] tehbilly@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago

You can't believe anything Rollins says, though. He's a liar.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

A little out-tearing of minds and burning of souls never hurt anyone 🤷

(Note to the people downvoting the comment above: it's a song reference 😁)

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

He's also an immortal cannibal.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Who amongst us isn't, though? 🤷

[-] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 118 points 3 months ago

Whenever someone says Greenday isn't punk enough just remember they're making right wingers mad and what's more punk than that?

[-] at_an_angle@lemmy.one 36 points 3 months ago

Honestly, it's not that hard these days.

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 19 points 3 months ago

You mean Dolly Parton and Chick-fil-A aren't punk?

No shade toward Dolly.

[-] OlinOfTheHillPeople@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

Dolly is punk as fuck.

[-] Walican132@lemmy.today 13 points 3 months ago

I used to be pretty anti green day because they weren’t pink enough. The last few news articles I’ve seen they’ve really embodied punk in my eyes. I may not enjoy their older music but I’m loving what they stand for today.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Of course they're not pink. They're green.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

They're "not punk enough" in that they make a lot of money. They've "sold out" as people would say. I somewhat get the argument of "you aren't punk if you participate in their system" but also we're living under capitalism and everyone has to deal with it somehow.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

American Idiot?

Minority?

They weren't exclusively anti establishment but they definitely let their opinions be known.

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 74 points 3 months ago

So... Trump calls people stupid, then his supporters are up in arms when the guy is called an idiot. Okay?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 65 points 3 months ago

Sorry, MAGA. You're not going to Kathy Griffin Green Day. They aren't attempting to be some sort of mainstream act you can watch on Good Morning America.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 65 points 3 months ago

I am once again asking MAGA to die mad about it.

[-] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 months ago

I'm asking for the same thing but three words shorter.

[-] don@lemm.ee 50 points 3 months ago

MAGA outraged? Good. Fuck ‘em.

[-] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 33 points 3 months ago

I’m outraged that their followers want to kill politicians for real and have been making pretty credible attempts to do so

We all have, I guess, our pet peeves

The "just be a decent human being" crowd strikes again

[-] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 3 months ago

Nah, fuck that noise. You don't get to spend decades insulting people while you trample them underfoot and then demand they be nice to you. Fuck off with that shit.

[-] Gointhefridge@lemm.ee 30 points 3 months ago

Wait till they hear about GWAR.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I really do not like metal at all, but I saw a GWAR show for free at DragonCon in the 1990s and it was absolutely amazing. I don't know that I would go again myself, but it's a terrific show even if you're not a fan of the music.

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

it's a terrific show even if you're not a fan of the music.

This is true for a good number of metal bands.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I can imagine. My wife said the same thing in the same era when she took her little brother to see Rammstein.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 months ago

You should see a modern show by Ghoul. Gwar probably did it "better," but Ghoul is keeping it fun.

[-] Pacmanlives@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yuuup they have been cutting the heads off presidents since like Reagan for their show. First one I saw was for Biden it was well done. 11 out of 10 will see them again. My white shirt is ready

[-] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Sic Semper Tyrannis, bitches.

[-] dan1101@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Yep wanna-be tyrant is still a tyrant.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

Has Jack Black tried to cancel them yet?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Seeing as they didn't call for actual violence, checks notes they haven't been in a band together for many years, and the only definition of "cancelling" this would meet is of a trumper's, I'm going to say "no".

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 months ago

accusations of being disrespectful?

for some reason, and im not sure why, i smell irony, and whole lot of it. Can't quite put my finger on it though.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

If I was him I'd dox all the losers sending threats over a mask'

[-] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

A good picture to share in your family group

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Those crybabies get more butthurt than anyone they call snowflake

[-] cynthorpe@discuss.online 5 points 3 months ago

National treasure, just like Tommy Crooks.

[-] LaterRedditor@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago
[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I wanna see the full performance
