Republican Representative Tim Burchett of Tennessee described Green Day’s trajectory from anti-establishment advocates to apparent establishment collaborators, emphasizing their detachment from their former rebellious image.
Green Day used to be anti-establishment now they are the establishment. https://t.co/smBjkaNyXW

Burchett criticized the band for their obliviousness to the struggles faced by their fans today, asserting that their privilege has clouded their judgment and distanced them from the realities of ordinary Americans.
Green Day had a concert here in DC last night.
They decided it’d be a good idea to hold up a severed Trump head.
Just TWO WEEKS after he was sh*t in the head.

I boycotted Billy Joe Armstrong and Green Day a long long time ago because their music sucks. Now I see he sucks as a human. Glad to see my good judge of character is still going strong and my original opinion of “they suck” was right on.
“Became” the establishment? They’ve always been ‘establishment’… three-chord wonders who only gained ‘notoriety’ thanks to MTV (back when they actually played videos and shows about music, well after they started showing commercials but before all the reality shows… How I miss Headbangers Ball)… Supposedly ‘punk’… BJ-A isn’t worthy of licking the boots of any real punk band… GD… the ‘boy band’ of punk bands…
“distanced them from the realities of ordinary Americans” They were always distanced. Ordinary Americans have jobs, work for a living. These creatures PLAY for a living, just like all other entertainers and sports figures. They have no connection to real life, are insulated from real life. That people worship, admire, and give credit to these creatures is and always has been beyond me. Entertainers should be seen on stage and no where else. They can not hold opinions about real life issues because they do not live real lives.
Irrelevant nostalgia band that was kinda pretentious to begin with.
Isn’t it funny that idiots that want to make fun or spout off about political views and opinions only do it at venues that they know they are safe, idiot like Armstrong know that he’s safe in the venues and know that he’s not going to be face any consequences for his actions simply because he’s comfortable with the fact that he knows he’s safe there because of the same people that are usually at the concert are of the same mindset of this idiot…per sec his Germany or overseas tour opinion of being ashamed of being a American
Just another has been trying to get some attention.
what an American Idiot.
