For those who just want to see the picture.

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

Or simply a better example of a Basket Case

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.

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.

OT is he wearing a collared button up tucked in shirt with his punk rock bracelet?

It's a pretty typical part of their style. Often they're wearing ties. Sometimes even a suit.

Is this middle school? What's a shirt matter? Most shows I've been to the band is wearing the most basic shit while they are going wild

Left of center punk band shocks conservatives.

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

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

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.

American Idiot?

Minority?

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

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.

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

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.

MAGA outraged? Good. Fuck ‘em.

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

Wait till they hear about GWAR.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Has Jack Black tried to cancel them yet?

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".

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.

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

Those crybabies get more butthurt than anyone they call snowflake

Just two weeks after he was shit in the head... tsk, tsk, tsk

He’s been shit in the head much longer than two weeks.
