I liked their song American Idiot, one nation controlled by the media.

These hip rebels turned into pot-bellied middle-aged dudes, adding partisan lyrics to it, consequently ruining the very song they created.

I guess I sort of understand. Nobody keeps their career in entertainment anymore without expressing the required POV. Right, Taylor?

I must be getting old though, because in my day, such people were uncerimoniously abandoned as sell-outs. A label which would have utterly destroyed any band which had climbed the ladder of establishment rebellion.
