    Love the MAGA that are so vocally against Bad Bunny but somehow are pro Green Day, presumably because they’re white and don’t know how to read or apparently listen to lyrics.

    Reminds me so much of the MAGAs years ago talking about Rage Against the Machine, completely missing the point.

        You’d think the band adjusting the lyrics to explicitly reference Trump and Friends would be an indication of their intent. But that requires actually thinking about it.

      Does the article say the right wing is okay with green day? I had a lot of conservative friends in highschool when American Idiot came out that stopped listening to them because of their politics. I’ve never met a conservative that likes green day or RATM. They usually listen to the overly commercialized pop country music, and kid rock.

      I’d heard that apparently, their media was claiming the same thing about democrats and country music singers. The media works on people of all polticial persuasions to sew discord to some degree i guess.

      Could also be the fact that green day makes halfway decent music on occasion. Bad Bunny sounds exactly like everything that i hate about new pop. The vocals sound pitch corrected, together with the projection of “i don’t even wanna be here”-muted nasally fronted singing.

        Everything that you hate Preceded by Makes halfway decent music on occasion Subjective vs objective. There is no agreed-upon good music, Bad Bunny is hugely famous, obviously a large number of people don’t hate his music or new pop. Green Day makes music that a lot of oldheads can still enjoy, in part because they’ve been making music for like 30 years.

    NFL wants to expand their audience so that the maximum amount of people watch their game.

    They already have a captured football audience, but want more latinos to watch so they hire Bad Bunny.

    They hire Green Day because want lefties to watch because they already have right winged fans captured.

    NFL is a corporation that’s only goal is to sell more merch and get more views. They don’t care about anything but money.
