I don't want to be an American Alt-right
Don't want a nation under the new Breitbart
And can you hear the sound of Pepe?
The subliminal memes - America is not smart
That was what I thought a few days back. Music games and entertainment are going to est well these next few years. A lot of revolutionary and escapism style of entertainment incoming.
You know it's kinda funny not knowing if you're reading a real or fake Trump tweet when someone does something like this.
Oh my god.....amazing

Here's some examples just from Black artists alone.
Usher - Chains ft. Nas, Bibi Bourelly
Janelle Monae - Hell You Talmbout ft. Deep Cotton, St. Beauty, Jidenna, Roman GianArthur, George 2.0.
T.I. - New National Anthem ft. Skylar Grey
YG & Nipsey Hussle "FDT (Fuck Donald Trump)"
Common - Black America Again ft. Stevie Wonder (Full Version)
I'm glad the pendulum has swung the other way since the Dixie Chicks spoke out against Bush and the public turned their backs on them in favor of nationalism.
The more we shame our president elect and tie him to these groups he courted throughout his campaign (and beyond), the harder it will be to escape the image.

Fuck.
In all fairness nothing in that statement is incorrect.
I love how there's always a contradictory Trump tweet for anything you know he's going to say.
I heard that a german TV channel played American Idiot for over an hour on repeat, when the election results were known.

The shroud of the racists has fallen.
Begun the Culture War has.

Only protest song from the Bush era that immedietly pops into mind is Boom by System of a Down. Good song too.

It'd only be fitting for Trump to grace the cover.
The fun part is, they actually captured their reaction to him being there for the documentary about the musical
What the fuck are you doing here? Really?!?
Good ol Billie has been onto Trump for years.

The Bush years were overflowing in political/protest music. Probably the most anti-establishment punk music had been since the Reagan era.

Is that real?, Trump should be the last person on this planet to say anything about bad hairstyles.
Yes, all music today is garbage, you figured it out. My eyes are open.
lol...
100% real. It's not like you can find out for yourself in 5 seconds, so you might as well take my word for it.

Not long after the election it occurred to me that two of my favorite albums are American Idiot and Mezmerize/Hypnotize (System of a Down): both written in direct response to a Republican administration.
So that might be the singular silver lining in all of this. And SOAD is producing new music again, just in time.

Well look what happened when The Dixie Chicks dared to speak up. America is full of "patriotic" idiots.

How about this?
My American Idiot 2.0 version with inspiration from your intro:
Don't want to an American Alt-right
Don't want a nation under Trump Media
And can you hear the sound of white suburbia?
The subliminal meme fucked America
Welcome to a new age of tension.
All across a hostile nation,
Where everything isn't going to be okay.
VR dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who are going to follow.
For there aren't enough here to argue.
Well maybe I'm the Liberal America
I'm not a part of the Klan's agenda
Now everyone give up your Miranda
And sing along of the age of deliria
Don't want to be an American Alt-right
A nation controlled by Trump Media
Information funneled as propaganda
It's callin out to 4chan's America.

Ayyy
i like Green Day again
i like Green Day again
Surprised so many people are hoping this'll affect their music. They literally just released an album that is very much influenced by recent events, going into stuff like police troubles and whatnot.
Can't wait for people to start yelling about how Green Day should keep out of politics though. Whilst they where their American Idiot T-Shirts.

"Those terrorist punks should be thrown in prison!"
Edit:
Remember, it was very popular to hate Bush; his final approval rating was 22% and 73% of Americans disapproved of how he handled his job. Some of those people grew up and became/remained conservatives, so naturally some (former) Green Day fans are Trump supporters. If his presidency goes as poorly as we expect, Trump will be very unpopular among young people during his presidency -- repeating what happened with Bush culturally.

I know right? They have always done this stuff. It's in pop-punk's blood to rage on recent events. Anyone offended by this is a moron. And a hypocrite.
