Green Day is at it again, proving that their brand of “punk” is less about rebellion and more about parroting establishment talking points. During a recent stop on their Saviors world tour in Australia, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong took a cheap shot at Vice President JD Vance—by throwing out a slur in front of a cheering crowd.
While performing Jesus of Suburbia, Armstrong altered the lyrics to say, “Am I re**ded, or am I just JD Vance?”*—a desperate attempt to stay relevant by attacking a man who actually represents the working class, unlike the millionaire rockstar screaming from the stage.
The meltdown came after Vance stood firmly alongside President Trump in a tense Oval Office exchange with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, reinforcing an America First approach over endless foreign aid. That, of course, made him a target for the usual suspects in Hollywood and the music industry, who still cling to their Bush-era anti-American schtick.
It’s ironic—Green Day built their career on American Idiot, raging against the establishment, but now they’re just mouthpieces for the globalist elite. Instead of making music that matters, they’re flailing for attention, hoping their aging fanbase still finds their scripted outrage compelling.
As for JD Vance, something tells us he’s too busy helping steer the country in the right direction to care about a washed-up band’s tantrum.
