At the end of the day they are just musicians. Sure, they can write some catchy edgy songs, but they aren't philosophers or leaders, and we shouldn't expect that from them.

I don't expect it from Sabrina Carpenter. I do expect it from a band that calls themselves punk. And this is exactly the time I expect it from them.

Well, all due respect to Green Day, but I don't consider them punk, so maybe that's why I didn't expect much. Is there such a thing as pop-punk?

Edit: do they really call themselves a punk band?

Yeah pop punk was huge in the aughts. Green Day started with more of an edge but they are certainly pop punk now.
