    Lindsay Ellis did a really good video about how Green Day were the first ones to break America out of the jingoistic fever and into Bush-era protest music without the backlash that many others in the past felt (including Dixie Chicks).

      I think it helped that unlike the Dixie Chicks, conservatives didn’t make up a large portion of the Green Day fanbase. Conservatives were still very offended by American Idiot.
