Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
There’s never been anything subtle about the politics of Green Day, a band that released its punk-pop screed American Idiot right at the heart of the second Bush era. That “Wake up, dummies” willingness to bash fans over the head with the band’s message is something Billie Joe Armstrong and co. share with John Carpenter’s classic horror-satire They Live, a movie that has many strengths, but subtlety isn’t one of them. It’s fitting, then, that the band would update Carpenter’s film (with a little bit of Pleasantville thrown in) for the Trump era, in a new video released yesterday.
