The title song is the only time the band uses its own voice on the album. To the band and their listeners, the country seems foreign: filled tragedy, stress, and idiocy. Obviously, the version of America the band saw growing up has decayed into something nearly unrecognizable.

The music video for the track punctuates their message succinctly by pointing television cameras directly at Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool, mocking the 24-hour news channels and constant coverage of daily events. By 2004, America had endured a terrorist attack and gone to war with Iraq and Afghanistan. Green Day uses their titular song as a preface to describe what they see America becoming before their very eyes. Through the opening title track, the band gains the trust of its angst-filled teenage listeners by showing them that the band members, though years older, are also lost in the mess of politics and media vying for their attention, and they do it in under three minutes. Bush presidency’s effect on the nation’s youth. “American Idiot” tells the story of George W. “Welcome to a new kind of tension all across the alien nation.” While not entirely commercially successful in a year dominated by R&B artists - Usher’s “Confessions” was Billboard’s year-end top-selling album - the rock opera became an anthem for troubled youth everywhere.

20, 2004 release was not only a turning point for the band, but for the nation and the culture the band influenced. I love you, and im rooting for you….Story By: John Bruce, Entertainment EditorĮvery kid who grew up in the 2000s knows the iconic riff played at the beginning of the decade’s most influential rock album, and now it’s turning 15. You dont have to stick to Hype Williams and Benny Boom… ( and that goes for all the black artists with the wack basic videos) … and Beyonce - you need to step it up with your video game too…You have too much money for your videos to be so cheap… All hail the Queen - but back to Brandy…. There are soooo many talented directors to choose from. or some new young black directors… What ever happened to Dave Myers and Joseph Kahn? They were great directors. You need one of those Korean or European directors to give you a great video. & Please dont get hype williams to direct your video again. She needs to stamp her place NOW!!! to make sure she stays in the running. I dont want to see Brandy get pushed to the side. _- … I really want Brandy to be on point this whole album through… We all know Queen B is coming back soon, and RiRI is getting ready for her new album…. We need to start a petition to get her on there… Im lazy so one of yall stars is gonna have to do it…. I really really hope that Brandy performs at the VMAS…. The song is good but with a creative big budget video, the song could be huge. Hopefully the Wildest Dreams video is EPIC!!!. Im glad she fired her friend who used to style her. Ever since Brandy has been with her, her hair has been looking good. Im happy that Kim Kimble has been hookin Brandy up with some good lace front wigs.
