Green Day’s American Idiot is arguably my favorite album. And it details the story of a young man named Johnny (Jimmy). It goes like this: leaving town to falling in love with a girl and drugs to working in corporate America to making it back home, all whilst dealing with the horrendous political climate of 2004 and its effects on all his friends.
What I always wondered about was Whatsername’s story. Who was she? What did she want? How did she feel about love and the political climate? But I also wondered: how does this girl, this woman, relate to me?
Quarantine was (and is) difficult for everyone, myself included, and I grew up in a religiously conservative household with no ability to speak for myself. I spent much of time during quarantine ruminating and forgiving my past. Read: I worked through a load of mental trauma.
I decided that the best way to work through the dregs of the painful things I was holding onto was to combine myself and Whatsername, speak through her lens, so to speak. So American Bitch: Green Day’s Whatsername’s Response to American Idiot was born.
Filled with completely original poetry dating back from 2008 until now and many original collages and photos, American Bitch took the concept behind the American Idiot promo book filled with photography, polaroids, and lyrics, and transformed it into an equal opposite. It stands on its own. And so do I.

‘throwing shade?‘ what happened? did Billie comment on the Joey allegations?
Not billie but Adrienne’s story said “you and your giant heart showed true grit this past year” “I admire your patience and silence”
Also Britt shared the same story and Sarah wished him a hbd as well, which means the whole gd circle are probably supporting him :/

...So I know that one thing is loving your child despite all the mistakes they could have done but a completely different thing is throwing shade to what happened making it seem you’re supporting them. It is a very, very serious matter and I just can’t understand it. Does everyone in green day support him now? Wtf does this mean, are they all just hypocrites at this point or are they blinded with their “love”? I don’t know what to think anymore lol
