Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt were born in Oakland, California. Frank Edwin Wright III (Tre Cool) was born in West Germany, because his father was a US Army pilot, they relocated to California. The band was formed in the Bay Area. There really isn’t anything about the band that’s Canadian.
Jesus fucking Christ read further before you reply. I get it. They’re mostly from California. For some reason I thought they were from Canada. I was wrong.
Huh? It is one of their all time most popular songs in America. Same with Holiday, which is a protest song about the American invasion of Iraq. It would be unexpected if they didn’t play one of these…
Given the political climate of America right now? I’m still giving them props for having the balls to come here, knowing ICE is all over it and playing an anti-america song. The only thing that couldve made it better is a RATM guest during that or the halftime show.
The current political climate in the USA is Trump being booed by crowds at public events and MAGA being roasted regularly by comedians on cable TV or massively popular shows like South Park. His political party is in a panicked crisis over upcoming midterm elections that they are certain to lose across the nation, and Trump is polling at his lowest ever approval ratings.
Green Day playing one of their most popular songs to an audience even more receptive to its message than when it was written is not very surprising. Like… it’s literally their 2nd most played song on Spotify…
Also what do you mean by Canadian? Green Day is an American band who’s members are from California
I looked it up, Wikipedia says that all the members are American. Edit: I wrote the complete wrong word. I said that they were Canadian instead of American. I was watching something while I was writing, should’ve paid more attention, mb.
And Tre was only born in Germany, and I’d bet my Lederhosen, that had something to do with the US military presence here [in Germany]. He grew up in the US though, and even though he may be not eligible to become president, he’s just as American as the rest of the bunch.
More like a group of birds “they’re Californian” over and over. I wish people would read the full thread before replying, so if you make a mistake you don’t have 40 lemmings saying the same fucking thing over and over.
If you don’t like it, you should have edited your posts as soon as you found out they weren’t Canadian. It’s now what, a day since you posted that they were Canadian here, then doubled down on that here, and you still have yet to edit either of those posts to indicate you now realize you were wrong.
The people who this is directed at, won’t understand it’s about them.
Fair, but being Canadians in America, that takes stones big enough that atlas couldn’t push.

Sounds like you’re the one who should read further.

They didn’t come here; they’re from here.
Most of the ones it could or would cause issues with just think it’s a popular song or unrelated to anything happening.
Would be completely different if a brand new song but conservatives just think it’s a fun song or about Iraq
no this is real now california is canada now no takesbacksies y’all canadiennes are stuck with us nyeh nyeh
Are you saying that Green Day is Canadian? Or?
They are Canadian
they are Californian

Can’t tell if you’re serious, but none of them are Canadian. 2 are from Oakland, CA and one is from Germany.
Edit: Just read usernames, not serious, oops.
Oakland Canadifornia I guess. It’s just down the road from my igloo in Vancouver.

I was serious, I wrote the wrong nationality like a dumbass. I’m fucking stupid lmao
Was it Weird Al’s “Canadian Idiot” by any chance?
Unfortunately not, it was something much less delightful.
No, they are not.
Who’s Canadian? 2 of them are from California, one is from Germany.
This thread sounds like a lunch conversation over at ICE.

Damn, I dunno why but I hadn’t thought to edit it. I’ll remember that next time I’m wrong. Thanks.
RAAAAARK
Green Day have always been American… Their whole thing was that not all meth head trailer people have to have a ‘redneck’ mentality.
