Fans think Green Day just made a statement during the pre-show

Punk rock band Green Day performed at the pre-show for the 2026 Super Bowl, and it seems that some people are convinced they had a political message for those watching.

Keep reading to know more.

Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in the late 1980s. The core lineup consists of Billie Joe Armstrong (lead vocals, guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass), and Tré Cool (drums). They initially broke through in the music scene with Dookie (1994) and later gained huge acclaim for the political rock opera American Idiot (2004).

Green Day has a long history of political messaging, from criticizing war and U.S. government policy to addressing inequality and nationalism in later albums and live shows.

Their performances and lyric changes have also targeted contemporary political figures and issues, reflecting progressive, anti-establishment views tied to Armstrong’s outspoken stance.

At a Friday concert in the San Francisco area, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong declared publicly, “This goes out to all the ICE agents out there. Wherever you are: quit your shitty-ass job. Quit that shitty job you have.” He added, “come on this side of the line.”

The band sang three songs from their album American Idiot. They sang “Holiday,” “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” and ended their short set with “American Idiot.”

The song is known for its critical lyrics about America. Green Day sang, “Don’t want to be an American idiot. Don’t want a nation under the new media. And can you hear the sound of hysteria? The subliminal mind fuck America.”

The lyrics also say, “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda. Now everybody do the propaganda. And sing along at the age of paranoia.” Some people also thought that it was a subtle message for America, especially in the current climate.

One fan was upset about the political statement, writing, “The @NFL should be embarrassed of a political statement by GreenDay. Know your audience. Always rules for thee, not for me, Woke garbage.”

Another X user wrote, “Green Day just performed an “anti America” song at the Super Bowl. Will they get the same hate as Bad Bunny? I think tf not. Btw I love Green Day as artists and that won’t ever change:)”

Another viewer wrote, “folks upset about GreenDay being political, I’m sure we’re in for something during halftime”

Common back-pain drug may be linked to higher dementia risk, large study finds

A pain medication that millions of Americans rely on for chronic back pain may come with a hidden risk: a significantly higher chance of developing dementia or other cognitive problems, according to a major new study. Compared 26,000 adults Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and several partner institutions analyzed medical records from 68 health systems across the U.S., comparing 26,414 adults prescribed gabapentin for persistent low-back pain with a matched group who had similar pain — but didn’t take the drug. Their finding was sobering: Adults who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within 10 years.
