American Idiot

(1) a 2004 green day alb-m which serves as a rock opera that tells the story of a few average american youth living in a metropolis of rhetoric, lies, and censorship. the alb-m tells the story, which takes place in the time span of about one year, through exploring the thoughts of each character as well as through dialog and interactions between the characters. while the plot is more of an abstract concept than it is a direct story, the message is fairly clear: the american youth remain unheard because of the “i don’t care” att-tude many of them carry, but because of the lack of actual dialogue, the root of this att-tude is the fact that the american youth only know what they don’t want, and have never been presented with a reasonable option that they could want. of course the ending of the story is, unfortunately, also an all-too-common reality in our current world.

the alb-m/story also tells a typical teen-angst-style love story that applies a double meaning to the cover (which is a hand holding a heart-shaped grenade).

the alb-m is expected to receive negative criticism (especially by those who don’t take the time to truly understand the story or are too quick to judge and disregard it as “left-wing propaganda”), since it was considered a highly experimental concept from the very beginning. others simply don’t like it because of its difference from the typical green day style, but many see this as a refreshing and much-needed break. love it or hate it, “american idiot” is green day’s first new release full-length alb-m since 2002.

“oh, mrs. so-and-so, this is my boyfriend alex, he is visiting from germany.” (loudly and slowly as if speaking to a child or some one of a mentally inept ability) “ohh…do you speak english?? do you understand me? since you are german, are you a n-z-?”

the newest alb-m by green day. it gained much attention from the middle school punk/goth crowd because it’s first single, “american idiot”, was the only form of rock music played on mtv. it has also recieved recognition from trendy subcult stores such as hottopic who manufactured shirts, pins, patches, and other various merchandise to promote this alb-m. this lead to the subculture-seeking teenyboppers to go out and buy the alb-m in order to rightfully own that uber trendy green day tank top they saw at the mall. this greatly p-sses true green day fans off. and though it is true that dookie and nimrod are exceptional alb-ms, i -ssure you that there is life before dookie.
american idiot sucks, go listen to some kerplunk.
a) a certain (ahem) president of ours

b) a really, really awesome green day alb-m. best ever.
(all you nimrods who think it blows can just go f-ck george w in the -ss or do whatever it is you all normally do.)
right-wingers who can’t let two guys or two girls get married
