Completely misunderstanding American Idiot’s concept. It’s not about the Bush administration directly apart from two songs, and the rest of the album tells the story of kids growing up during that era. Songs like She’s a Rebel and St. Jimmy are written from a teenagers perspective, and then as those characters age and mature in songs like Homecoming and Whatsername, they look back and realize they were being rebellious for the sake of it. They’re written that way lyrically with an intention, it’s not just a generic rebellion song. That’s why it’s a rock opera

[@FeelingShred]

it's about making the journey that everyone should take in life but nobody ever told you and you had to find it on your own... even though they knew... they all knew... all of them...

[@bnashee]

It really just screams "this guy has not listened to the whole album/understood what its about at all." like the *song* American Idiot is a very obviously political song, but the album is not all about that at all

[@michaelvessel4604]

Like Wake Me Up When September Ends for instance actually isn’t about 9/11 or the war on Iraq or anything (like some have misinterpreted it to be about), but it’s actually about the death of Billie Joe’s father when he was young and how hard it is for him to cope with that. Sure certain tracks like the title track of course and Holiday are very political, but that’s not entirely what the lyrical content of the album is about.

[@fila365]

American Idiot truly is a fascinating album because it highlights a generation gap between elder millennials and younger millennials/elder zoomers. Elder millennials obviously were first exposed to Green Day by Dookie and while they look on that record with praise, American Idiot by that metric has a less positive view (Lindsay Ellis has a whole video essay chapter on Green Day that led me to this conclusion). But for zoomers/younger millennials like me, this was one of our first albums and really defined a generation. I can’t speak on behalf of everyone, but this album legit made me want to become a musician. Nostalgia aside, it’s a 10/10 record for me and every track holds up. Without it, we wouldn’t have a Black Parade or a Brand New Eyes

As someone who grew up with and loved it, I think some of the songs are pretty corny to go back and listen to, but at the same time, I admire the risks they took. Songs like Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming flow in such a rad way that's just so ambitious for them and I think really complimented their songwriting ability. But Whatsername, She's a Rebel, Extraordinary Girl and Are We the Waiting are just so damn basic and didn't age the best in my opinion along with a majority of the album. It's certainly a cool second wind for a band that far in their career at the time, tho.

The thing about protest music is that it is usually a limp appendage gratifying itself. It rarely speaks to a crowd larger than the audience already present. That's what was special and interesting about American Idiot, even though the messaging wasn't all that radical. It was radical for a commercial success. It was protest music that was heard by everybody. As a result, it was the first entry-point for a lot of teenagers into political thinking. While I understand you were already very politically-minded and listening to much more powerful protest music, I think you missed out on some of the actual significance of American Idiot when you detailed its impact.

[@nickgotvyak5890]

I think nothing in Green day discography really fits as an analogy for Pinkerton, because Pinkerton was a direct result of 0 to 100 mainstream success that weezer got, whereas Green Day was already with 2 albums (or album and 3 EPs) and years of performing experience before Dookie, and were arguably much better prepared. So they didn't make a hard departure from Dookie and didn't face this big of a backlash. The only parallel is more unfiltered/sincere subject matter but that is not that much.

I love each of these records in their own way, but to me, American Idiot remains the greatest thing that they’ve ever done. 21st Century Breakdown and Dookie are up there as well, but Idiot and it’s “punk rock opera” approach with a singular story throughout is just remarkable. Each album speaks to a different era, both for the band and for the world, but American Idiot does SO much. The ideas, the concepts, and how they were able to capture that in a story just resonates with me in so many ways. I’ve also got A LOT of faith in their new album, Saviors, as well. Things are looking very promising. No matter what anybody says, Green Day rules.

I really didn't care for any of the songs they've released or played live off of Saviors so I'm not holding out much hope for the new album. But then again, I havent loved a Green Day record since Nimrod 😂

Both of those albums have like a list of catchy, popular bangers on each of them and a bunch of other solid songs. But I don't know, maybe it's also just different when you listened to Dookie, Insomniac and Warning as a broody teenager growing up and connected so much with them that it's hard to understand the appeal of them now or something cause I can't imagine writing off especially Insomniac as like boring Dookie leftovers basically like, what the actual hell

I have a weird personal attachment to the trilogy because they came out when my brothers and I were in high school and learning how to play guitar and joining bands, and learning about Billie Joe's personal crisis at the time really affected us, so it's nice to hear Anthony talk about them in a relatively positive light His take on 21st Century Breakdown is unforgivable tho

[@melancholymartialarts7095]

Dookie

[@Abison07]

My tier list - 1. Kerplunk - One of their best works, also one of the best indie pop punk album of all time imo. A 2. Dookie - I don't have anything to say about this other than that it's sear perfection. Easy S 3. Insomniac - Some of their best works are in this album and the only reason I'm not putting in the top is because yes it kinda felt rushed. A 4 Nimrod - Kinda like a little brother to Insomniac but they tried to play it too safe. B 5 Warning - Green Day's most personal album I would say, they got so much hate for maturing and taking risks but a lot of fans would agree that the album grew on you as time goes by and it's their most underrated album. Im kinda biased because it's my fav album of them. A 6 American Idiot - Yes I agree it was over produced but I appreciate their evolvement from the backlash they received from Warning and the unfortunate incident with stolen master tapes. This album has a brand of its own and deservedly so. Sure its very mainstream but non single tracks like Letterbomb, Whatsername, St Jimmy, Homecoming etc are some of the best songs I have ever heard. A 8 21st CB - The fact that many people think this album is underrated makes it overrated. I didn't enjoy any of the singles and the album is way too long. That being said none of the tracks aren't bad and easily a great album if it wasn't produced by Green Day. The expectations were high after AI and yeah it couldn't live upto it but nevertheless a good album. C 9 Uno - A few decent songs. I don't have anything to say after that. D 10 Dos - Uno but worse. E 11 Tre - Dos but worse. F 12 RevRad - A breath of fresh air after the god awful trilogy and I actually enjoyed some of the songs. C 13 Father Of All - This is their best album till date. This album is so good that it doesn't belong in this world. The album is so deep that it should be put in a museum under a pile of garbage. Literal garbage, doesn't deserve a rating.

[@tuszkki9357]

Honestly I'd say warning deserves to be higher just because it has Misery on it - that song is probably one of green days best imo

Yeah it has a lot of really great stuff and it feels like it really gets underrated because of how different it was for the time. While I don’t think it’s their best record, I think it holds a lot of really great deep cuts like Church on Sunday, Macy’s day parade, misery, and Blood sex and booze. I will stand by the hill of ‘it’s actual a really good album if give it a chance’.

[@SpareMango]

Melon the point of American Idiot is that it's not all about the political era. It's a story about a lost kid finding his way through a broken world where he's confused and alone because he doesn't know what to do. That's why songs like She's a rebel are on the album and important to the story. Jesus of Suburbia is literally all about this and it's the 2nd track. It's about a confused young man becoming an adult and trying to make sense of the chaos and his purposelessness. Half of the album is just about him growing up and realizing what his youth meant. It's not just a watered down political statement. Bruh.
