Green Day Criticizes Trump in New Year's Eve Performance

Band Alters 'American Idiot' Lyrics, Sparks Mixed Reactions

During a New Year's Eve performance, Green Day altered the lyrics of their 2004 hit 'American Idiot' to criticize former President Donald Trump and his supporters. The band's lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, replaced the line 'I'm not a part of a redneck agenda' with 'I'm not a part of the MAGA agenda'.
The lyric change sparked mixed reactions online, with some accusing the band of being part of the 'propaganda machine' and others applauding the band's political stance.
Green Day has a history of being outspoken about their political views, particularly against Trump. In 2016, they chanted 'No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA' during a performance at the American Music Awards.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of X (formerly Twitter), criticized the band for their lyric change, accusing them of 'raging for the machine'.
Green Day is set to release a new album later this month, described as 'an invitation into Green Day's brain'.
