Green Day – American Idiot

Green Day’s “American Idiot” isn’t just an album, it’s a punk rock opera. Released in 2004, it tells the story of Jesus of Suburbia, a fed-up teenager itching to escape his small-town life. Through crashing guitars and anthemic choruses, the album follows Jesus’ journey to the city, where he encounters rebellion, heartbreak, and the struggle to find himself amidst a society he rejects. “American Idiot” is a blistering critique of suburban conformity, media manipulation, and the frustrations of youth, all wrapped in a power-chord fueled exploration of disillusionment and the search for meaning.
