[edit] American Idiot (song) : Pop Punk?

I don´t think that this song is Pop. Is not true punk, but if you want something besides Punk Rock, i suggest Alternative Rock, a genre that can include many others and may keep everyone happy.

I disagree with that. It suggests that if you don't know what genre the song is, just call it Alternative Rock. I'm going to change the genre to Pop punk. Jedi feline 11:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Failure?

This article keeps calling this song a "failure." That's news to me, as it as been omnipresent on rock radio for over a year. Is this based on an interpretation of the chart numbers? youngamerican (talk) 14:03, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

Fixed the subst'd infobox... sorry that it's yellow :) — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • 05:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Billboard

The article says "(previous singles had not been allowed to chart)" why? Can someone explain or cite? Pnkrockr 20:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lyrics and CD cover

I've added the lyrics and the alternate CD cover to the article. Some may find the lyrics offensive though. If so, edit them out Jammie 21:11, 17 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] I created this page at my mom's office

I didn't create this account at the time, but I am the one who created this page. I added that this song was on Madden NFL 2005. Somebody deleted that fact, but I'm not certain WHO it was. Oh, and my mom's office's IP address is credited for creation. Mewtwowimmer 05:45, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Offensive Language

Hey,

Being a Punk and Green Day fan, I noticed that you had a sample, i listened it through and i noticed that it left the swear word in. Remove it!!!! Or if you do not want to remove the sample, put a bleep in its place

L8er man,
