the guys in Green Day

They’re radlibs, so not that bad. They’re not conservatives or anything at least.

True, it’s probably not fair to lump them in with proper chuds like Michale Graves lol. But the political messaging in their lyrics is so vague it can be interpreted as either anarchist or right libertarian and you wouldn’t be wrong. It’s like they want to have the appearance of rebellion without actually saying anything that would challenge the status quo.

I mean “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA” (a lyric they sang at a lot of concerts) is fairly clear in its message. But otherwise yeah I agree with you. The lyrics are very generic status quo stuff. But that’s the territory that comes with making popular music. You have to have the lyrics appeal to almost everyone, regardless of the underlying message. And their boomer marketing for their latest album was absolute dogshit.
