News you may have missed! (1/29/21)
Green Day fans needed to remind pro-Trump TikTokers that “American Idiot” isn’t about what they think it is, Korn almost named their band THIS ridiculous name, and more!
What is up, everyone?! Did this week happen to fly by for you like it did for me? I feel like I was just writing for this newsletter, and now here I am again. Anyways, I hope this newsletter finds you well. There wasn’t a ton of music news this week, but here’s what we have to report on.
The All Punked Up Podcast
Tyler, John and Bailey reminisce about the pre and post-inauguration concerts from Fall Out Boy, Foo Fighters and New Radicals. They also discuss how Green Day fans needed to remind pro-Trump TikTokers that “American Idiot” isn’t about what they think it is. Tyler brings up a humorous story about how nu-metal band Korn almost named their band something else and way less cool. The crew also brings up the 25th anniversary of Fueled By Ramen and then discusses Machine Gun Kelly’s recent personal UFO experiences which leads to the three of them asking the question: do aliens exist?
