Whenever I have to meet someone new my mom puts me in the bathroom and lets me smell them through the door

when fall out boy said “i read about the afterlife but i never really lived” and “i’ll be stuck fixated on one star when the world is crashing down” and “detox just to retox” and “don’t feel bad for the suicidal cats, gotta kill themselves nine times before they get it right” and “long live the car crash hearts” and “throw caution to the wind, but i’ve got a lousy arm” and “just wanna fill up the trophy case again” and “if i can get my shit together, i’m gonna run away and never see any of you again” and “from day one i talked about getting out” and “a failure at everything, eighteen going on extinct” and

“my pen is the barrel of the gun, remind me which side you should be on” and “if home is where the heart is then we’re all just fucked” and “when you catch fire, I wouldn’t piss to put you out” and “I wonder if your therapist knows everything about me” and “came back with flags on coffins and said we won” and “I’m not A crybaby, I’m THE crybaby” and “the best part of believe is the lie” and “doing lines of dust and sweat off last nights stage, just to feel like you” and “when I said I’d return to you I meant more like a relapse” and “you’re a canary, I’m a coal mine” and “I’m just a man on a balcony singing ‘nobody will ever remember me’” and “keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind” and

here’s to 100 years of getting narsty

even if billie joe was straight (he’s not) teenagers getting offended he used the word faggot in american idiot 16 years after the fact would still be some of the goofiest discourse i have yet to see on this website. if you were young and gay in 2004 that shit rocked your world bc we were living through one of the most powerful resurgences of blind american patriotism and anti-gay evangelical bullshit of the last three decades. i dont think most of yall understand how radical that song, that album, and green day’s overall anti-bush pro-gay stance was for the time. even though we were at the cusp of bush becoming unpopular by the time it was released, american idiot saw a fairly mainstream rock band condemning not just him, but the bigoted, ignorant american culture which created him. to remove all of this context from the song and act like green day was just throwing around homophobic slurs for the hell of it is exactly why people joke nobody has reading comprehension on this website lmao. he’s not weaponizing the term; he’s using it to identify with an alternative american society.
