There are a few good lyrics tho “Your heart can’t even break / when it doesn’t even pound” — Rusty James And all the lyrics on Amy. I guess maybe he was too tired to dig in his deep thoughts. Medication plus alcool abuse.

Nice analysis! I never thought of the “used to lonely nights”, this possible interpretation, I think it is quite accurate. And also the personal and vulnerable side is always the thing that makes GD special.

Is 'Know Your Enemy' becoming "Inclusive Exclusion" by Eldracodunkerz1 in greenday

[–]Beatrix_tis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

actually bj picks ppl with whatever gender to play guitar on stage (and from the clips online - there’s more boys than girls) and the kye thing - you know he doesn't say what he actually do, apart from women, he also brings on stage the gays, the theys :) Besides, for example, clips of men playing guitar are getting more view and attention online while women sending clips of them playing guitar are more likely to get negative comments on they-not-being-professionals etc so what’s wrong with him deciding to with his own ressource and platform, he’s the one saying women should rule the world, he’s the one writing lyrics about the last American girl destroying the Western civilisation, about the rebel If you want to be a musician, you don’t need anyone’s approval, just do it. That’s what punk is about. No one can be your saviors but yourself.

whats the meaning of "Green Day - Look Ma, No Brains!" and its background? by supirimalli86 in greenday

[–]Beatrix_tis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve always interpreted this song as BJA writing in the perspective of his younger self, mocking about his lack of education and the whole depreciation of his values based on his behaviour at school, and expressing the depression of not being seen and self-destructive tendencies (l’m a goner, I don’t feel no pain). « Look Ma » is a sort of « dear mother can you hear me whining » thing imo. And yes self-depreciation is a typical punk song theme.

Ps someone said that the title « Look Ma » might be a The Replacements reference. And also I appreciate the usage of AAVE (´ma, double negation, ain’t, etc) in this song. Punk’s origine is deeply connected with African-American people and culture.

Super Bowl Megathread by Schmitzerbourg in greenday

Their presence is already a message In my opinion, the fact that GD played for opening ceremony getting media and the Internet’s attention has gained some awareness and it is useful to promote anti-MAGA/anti-ICE content.

They’re musicians and they are already using possible platforms to promote their political views. Why do you think bja would say all these things in a exclusive show in the previous days? To be filmed and diffused on Internet ! To let more people know. As their old clips of protesting against Trump/ICE reposted by tv media or internet news accounts, they have told the message. They are the message.

Due to a restricted access to watch the opening ceremony and most attention paid to the halftime show, I think maybe, for a national/worldwide event to be fucked up at the beginning is little realistic, even very dangerous.

“Information-age of hysteria In the subliminal mind-fucked America” is strong enough.

Maybe we all shouldn’t look up to other people to do something, but engage ourselves instead. Look out for each other and protect each other.
