In this thread: People who are incapable of understanding the most transparently obvious satire ever written.
People have said so much insane shit over the years that it is genuinely becoming harder and harder to tell what is being said sarcastically and what is not
This is a laundry list of things that are just very obviously the opposite of punk, though. It’s like if you asked someone to define “anti-punk,” they’d rattle of something very similar to this. It’s also in “Microblog Memes,” a meme community. The things posted here are jokes, and as such its nature as a joke is reinforced by the context in which the text is presented. This is Media Literacy 101, stuff.
Yeah but this one was still super obvious. At least if you read the whole thing.
I mean I’ve heard more idiotic shit said sincerely.
Reminds me of those trump rallyists dancing to rage against the machine.
You fools! You’re raging WITH the machine! THAT’S the machine!!
I mean it’s a dead giveaway at the first bullet, but I totally get the knee jerk reaction because there were people who said Green day had “lost their way”.
That said, always thought Green Day was everything wrong with punk because of how pop they were when they first started. To me they’re still pretty pop. They’re like the hot topic of punk.
Maybe he’s right.
Billie Joe has been married to the same woman for more than 30 years. That’s a lot more family value than the MAGA idol ever managed in any of his several marriages.
Green Day also didn’t encourage people to attack the Capitol, unlike the “patriot” MAGA idiots.
It’s a low bar, but Green Day is a lot more respectful and respectable, even by their own definitions.
Billie Joe Armstrong: Strong advocate for monogamy and heterosexual marriage.
Taylor Swift: Serial dater. Pegs exclusively.
Also Billie Joe: Openly bisexual since 1995. Love the one you’re with. That’s literally the only thing that matters.
Unless in a polycule… In that case I think it’s something like “do your best to make sure everyone is doing okay, feeling loved and supported and frequent check ins for consent are done.”
It’s too socially complicated for me but if you can make it work then what turns your crank ain’t none my bizznizz…
Or, more succinctly, love the ones you’re with.
Me no understand peg?
I’m a visual learner BTW
Google that one with safe search off when nobody else is around.
But what’s the link with Taylor swift?
Are you fucking KIDDING ME?
Oh, yeah you’re fucking kidding me.
Ok, carry on, then.Reminds me of Tom Morello’s response to Paul Ryan claiming his favorite band was RATM.
I wonder what Ryan’s favorite Rage song is? Is it the one where we condemn the genocide of Native Americans? The one lambasting American imperialism? Our cover of “Fuck the Police”? Or is it the one where we call on the people to seize the means of production? So many excellent choices to jam out to at Young Republican meetings!
All true but Green Day hasn’t been punk since just before Dookie. If you want to hear Billy Joe Armstrong in a punk band check out Pinhead Gunpowder.
Its funny, reading this post outloud to a friend and his reaction was “if Green Day doesn’t support Trump’s campaign then I don’t anymore.” He was serious too. Sometimes the dumbest things can change someones mind.
Yeah but like he could have guessed. Like I can guess right now that if I go turn on the sink and touch the water it will make my hand wet. Like I don’t know for certain but I am pretty God damn sure.
As shown above he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed and because he doesn’t follow politics at all it’s all word of mouth to him. His actual views aren’t inline with Trump’s
He had me in the first half. I’m not gonna lie.
Don’t wanna be an American Idiot
Don’t want a woman on my news media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria
The libtards mind fuck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where it’s man and woman married okay
In television Dreams of tomorrow
The F16 flyovers were meant to follow
The American Anthem
DUNUNUNUN DUNNUNNUNUN
I think the people here who cant see this is satire are aliens from another planet
Hey, some aliens from other planets can see this is satire… so I’ve heard.
I wholeheartedly support BJA and Green Day for the message of what they did, but holy shit I can’t stand to listen to their music. I hate that I have to now make a whole “I swear I’m not MAGA” preface to my inability to tolerate them.
The American Idiot album is good and the anti-Bush aspect feels less political these days because everyone hates Bush now.
Maybe I’m a suckered for a rock opera though. I never got into their actual punk early stuff.
this is a parody account right…
right?
Yeah. It’s called low quality facts.
Poe’s Law got me here…
This has to be a joke.
It doesn’t have to be but it is.
Low quality facts only posts the highest quality facts
Why are republicans such fragile snowflake little bitches
Why are lemmings so socially inept that they can’t pick up on something so obviously satire
MAGA trying to COOP punk pisses me off.
Just going to randomly slide into this 2 week old thread to mention that I appreciate your username.
Even with sarcasm my blood is boiling.
