9 Songs To Hate Your Parents To

1. Green Day “Jesus of Suburbia”

“I’m the son of rage and love,” Billie Joe Armstrong sings to open this track off Green Day’s 2005 album, American Idiot, which is a very eloquent way of saying he was raised by bipolar parents. Armstrong, like many restless teenagers, is sick of it all: his mom, his stepfather, his hometown and his friends. He epitomizes the struggle of suburban kids, who are railing against boredom and alienation. The track solidified Green Day’s career as the band that makes you want to run away and defile your local mall’s bathroom in protest against the government or anything else that’s bumming you out. Grab those sharpies, kids.

What happens when you miss your flight and have to spend a night in the airport? Well pretty much this.

You also probably had have a lifelong crush on Billie Joe Armstrong and are still in awe of his ageless genes.

Sad, but true.

It's not everyday that you can see a rocker go to church. Following his participation at the Osheaga festival, where he accompanied on guitar group The Replacements, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, was seen in downtown Montreal, walking on the boulevard René-Lévesque.

Near Mansfield, he entered a few minutes in the Cathedral Marie-Reine-du-Monde, which was then celebrated a mass. Upon his release, when we approached the singer has admitted to having enjoyed his experience Osheaga and he took advantage of the city a little before going to fly in the late afternoon.

[Sanity Loan]

Nah, I did an IP/Domain look-up on it and the domain was registered in '03 and last update was in '08. Nothing new, unfortunately

Well I know the domain was registered a while ago and I remember there actually being a website there.

According to Web Archive, it has said it since February of '07

Why Popular Music Needs To Become Political Again

In the 2000s, the tragedy of 9/11, the reality of fighting two wars, and the presidency of George W. Bush provided fodder for rage. The politically charged narrative of Green Day's smash "American Idiot" harnessed the spirit of Joe Strummer, railing against the hawkish political climate of the day, as well as vapid commercials and reality TV. The album was a tour de force that gloriously mocked the stupidity of our elected leaders and the apathy of the masses. But it also sold by the bucketload and relaunched the careers of the power punk trio.

Firstly, none of them were all that obscure. Secondly, FBHT weren't just prep for the Trilogy.

'Arena size band' could be playing secret set at Reading Festival

The last major act to do a secret set was Green Day in 2012 who played an hour long set on the NME/Radio 1 Stage.

Elsewhere in the magazine, we've gone pop-punk mad, as we run down the 51 most essential pop-punk albums of all time. OF ALL TIME! But what album nabbed the top spot? Green Day? Blink-182? New Found Glory? The result might surprise you.

Maybe not to hardcore fans, but to "normal people" they probably are.

16 Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Green Day

http://diffuser.fm/green-day-facts/

Had to read it just to see if anything was wrong . And it was:

#3 They weren't "known as Green Day" in 1987

#8 John Lydon said that when American Idiot came out, not Dookie

#9 Not sure how the two albums following Dookie going platinum and then the next album not doing so well 6 years after Dookie came out is evidence of hard times "following the breakthrough success of Dookie"

#11 Money Money 2020 came out in 2003

#15 That was 21st Century Breakdown not American Idiot

#16 They played as Foxboro Hot Tubs before 21st CB not Uno Dos and Tre. The secret shows they played to prep for Uno Dos and Tre were as Green Day

Also #2 can be ascertained just by reading #1 and knowing how old the band members are. Poor effort overall, you could find out most of this stuff just reading their Wikipedia page, and it'd be more accurate.

I think the laziness of #2 is what bothered me most.

Good point. I often forget what's common knowledge and what isn't.
