The change to the lyrics of ‘American Idiot’ made by Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong during his New Year’s Eve concert in New York caused a sensation in the United States. Part of a verse of the song, written in 2004 to criticize the policies of then President George W. Bush, was adapted to lash out at Donald Trump. The change angered not only conservatives on social media, but also billionaire Elon Musk, who accused the band of going ‘mainstream’. The modified text reads: «Well, maybe I’m the f*****g, America, I’m not part of the MAGA agenda (Make America Great Again, Trump’s movement, ed.). Now, everyone do propaganda and sing together in the era of paranoia.”
