3. Green Day - "Reject"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8MHwr5Yk7A Concerned parents are the absolute worst music critics. They're mostly just trying to do the right thing for their children, but their reasoning is often so backwards and moronic that you can't take anything they say seriously. Case in point: Mother's son receives Green Day's Insomniac album for his birthday, mother listens to album, mother writes angry letter to lead singer of Green Day declaring him and his music "trash." That was the
actual situation that caused Billie Joe Armstrong to write the song "Reject" from
Nimrod. It's rare for a musician to write an entire song about one complete stranger who criticized their music, but this was an unusual situation.
Who the hell are you to tell me what I amAnd what's my master plan?
Exactly! What kind of person decides to chide a musician and his work as "trash," simply because it may not be totally appropriate for an
8-year-old??Listen up and shut the hell upIt's no big deal and I'll see you in hell
Once again...ex-act-ly.
