During their participation in the end-of-year special, Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, Green Day took the opportunity to attack Donald Trump, changing the lyrics of the classic 'American Idiot'.
While performing the song, Billie Joe Armstrong changed the chorus 'I'm not part of the redneck agenda' to 'I'm not part of the MAGA agenda ', referring to the MAGA / Make America Great Again movement led by Trump, unleashing a wave of reactions on social networks.
While the band's followers praised the action, the conservative sectors of the United States called them "sold to the Republican Party."
Green Day's new album, 'Saviors', will be available on January 19, 2024.
