They not only avoided saying anything about what's going on in this country, they skipped all the pointed parts of their songs. Seriously disappointed.

    Tbf that fits better than "redneck," after using the similarly sounding preceding no-no word, but I'm assuming they've also trimmed that from the song now themselves.

    Also "Green Day plays what is sadly, but undoubtedly, their biggest song ever at the Superbowl." Like yeah duh. I know I know I agree it should be Going To Pasalacqua but I'm apparently the only person on earth who prefers 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours to, well, everything they did after that (Dookie and Kerplunk were great too, in that order, but after that it's one or two good songs at best per album. Like to the degree I think I like Foxboro Hot Tubs and The Network better than "Green Day" proper post-Dookie). But of course they played that and not Disappearing Boy.

    At the end of the day they are just musicians. Sure, they can write some catchy edgy songs, but they aren't philosophers or leaders, and we shouldn't expect that from them.

    I don't expect it from Sabrina Carpenter. I do expect it from a band that calls themselves punk. And this is exactly the time I expect it from them.

    Well, all due respect to Green Day, but I don't consider them punk, so maybe that's why I didn't expect much. Is there such a thing as pop-punk?

    Edit: do they really call themselves a punk band?
