Billie Joe Armstrong is a criminally underrated lyricist. To me, he should be mentioned as one of the greatest writers in rock history. A ton of great lines include cognitive dissonance and contradicting ideas. The passage, “The freedom to obey,” is a very powerful and poignant idea. What a world class talent he is.

Just remembered about this song. Used to listen to it A LOT as a pre teen lol love it

Happy 15th anniversary to one of Green Day’s most underrated albums

I wouldn't be surprised if Green Day releases another rock opera album in 2022. They are probably in an Oakland studio recording it now.

I was having a boring day, until I remembered that Green Day exists.

Drums are *AWESOME* on this song

These guys are pushing 50 years old but they still have the sound of rebellious youth. I love it.

People can say what they want about GD being mainstream compared to other rock and punk bands, but that’s what happens when you are a great band that has crushed it for decades, and, more importantly, not a single one of these people can deny that they continuously produce hit after hit with relevant lyrics and always stay true to their sound. Proud to be a long time fan.

Was it just me who got the shivers near the end where they revealed Billie's face from all the animations?

This song, this band, some of the best stuff to ever hit my ears, I remember hearing minority for the first time and my god their music never gets old, Billie's voice and guitar, Mike's Bass and backing vocals and Trè's drumming skills make up some of the most talented and energetic musicians to date ♥️🎵

I could not understand why it never charted... This song is a gem.

The fact this is still relevant is astounding

GreenDay is not just a band.. it's an emotion.

2004: "Dont wanna be American idiot" 2009: "Oh Dream, American dream" Jaja I love you green day ♡

I think the album was an absolutely misunderstood and underrated masterpiece, their best in my opinion. Just from the lyric point of view, I mean what can you say to lines like "I was made of poison and blood, condemnation is what I understood" - sooooo genious

It's the perfect song to start and end a day

This song will always rule. I'm very happy that Green Day existed, because their songs will surely influence a lot of future generations to come. Catchy melodies, heavy deep strong meaningful lyrics, fun band members that have gone through a lot and yet they're still together making great music and never forgot who Green Day is. It's just wholesome.

This is probably my favorite record. The buildup to its release was amazing and the whole album blew me away. Peak vocals, beautiful story, very personal characters and themes, and it was executed perfectly. I want this album playing on repeat when I’m in Hospice.

I am 59, I have been a Green Day fan since 2000. I personally find this album their best, and this song awesome. I hope they keep going just like the Rolling Stones, doing their own geriatric tour. More power to you guys.

dude... chills every time the switch-up happens- then that whole upbeat section just gets my head banging i absolutely love the energy in this song and im proud to be a mega fan of green day. GREEN DAY IS AMAZING!!!

why is nobody talking about the quality of the video? this is probably one of the most well-made music videos ive seen

I used to love this song melody when I was a teen. Now grown up being a simple young man in todays society with more understanding of the contexts, this song is way to real and its quite terrifying.

I was having a mental breakdown today and remembered that this existed

If you're listening to this in 2020, then good because it fits the times

"Unavailable in your country???" Awww come on man, what has my country ever done to you :'(

Billie Joe Armstrong is the Benjamin Button of rock stars. In the 90's he looked 20. In 2004, he looked 18. Now he looks 16.

Nobody: CoronaVirus:21st Century Breakdown

These lyrics are just... ❤👌😗

WHY DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 17 MILLION VIEWS?!

Unpopular opinion: this is hands down the best Green Day song.

He’s got such a nostalgic singing voice & he ages well over the years.

Everyone is saying this album was horrible, but it's my favorite of theirs. I think it's great

Awesome!!! Just a monument of punk-rock ;)

this album was underated

I've heard that some fans think this album was when the band sold out, but I think it's a great album. Yeah, it's very different sounding than their old stuff, but bands need to evolve or they become stale.

Man... I really love this song!

From 3:47 to the end: my favourite musical part of all time. It's so beautiful, it makes me shivers.

Green Day and especially 21st Century Breakdown is my best way to deal with these fucked up news, im sick of war, im sick of innocent people dying, and im sick of not being able to do anything about it. All I can do is wish for the well being of the people in Ukraine, stay strong everyone.

Another anthem for this century........

Fact:Green Day never make bad songs.

I LOVE THIS SONG

3:52 until the end is my favorite. It's so.. I dunno, romantic. Green Day really is incredible.

IMO, this is one of the best albums ever created.

2004: DON'T WANNA BE AMERICAN IDIOT1 2009: Oh dreaaam, Ameeerica dreeeeam... I fucking love you Green Day xDDD

Last night I was at your concert in Milano, and I was just one of the 80.000 enthusiastically hopping and screaming... Your songs have the flavour of sun and rebellious freedom☀️ you are still f*****g alive, indeed!

14 YEARS AGO AND STILL NOW THIS SONG FEELS LIKE ITS NEW... BEST CHILDHOOD WE HAD INDEED❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ GODBLESS YOU ALL

The best green day video in my opinion I love the song as well

4:12 This part sounds so incredible, I can’t get over it

Everybody else: aging normally Billie Joe Armstrong: I'm aging, just backwards

We're LITERALLY having a 21st Century Breakdown. No jokes

Green Day sure do like the number 21

I like how the criminal couple are recurring characters in the videos, really adds a bit of a story.

My mom bought me this album when it came out. I am the class of '13. This song speaks to me. Listening in 2022 you're a real one

Tenía 15 años cuando salió este video y lo veia todos los días en los 10 más pedidos de MTV y de Much Music. Que época. Tengo 29 ahora y sigo siendo la misma, pero más deprimida y más rota.

Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled The last one born and the first one to run, My town was blind from refinery sun My generation is zero I never made it as a working class hero 21st century breakdown I once was lost but never was found I think I'm losing what's left of my mind To the 20th century deadline I was made of poison and blood Condemnation is what I understood Video games of the Tower's fall Homeland security could kill us all My generation is zero I never made it as a working class hero 21st century breakdown I once was lost but never was found I think I'm losing what's left of my mind To the 20th century deadline We are the class of the class of thirteen Born in the era of humility We are the desperate in the decline Raised by the bastards of 1969 My name is no one, your long lost son Born on the fourth of July Raised in the era of heroes and cons That left me for dead or alive I am a nation, a worker of pride My debt to the status quo The scars on my hands there a means to an end Is all that I have to show I swallowed my pride and choked on my faith I've given my heart and my soul I've broken my fingers and I've lied through my teeth The pillar of damage control I've been to the edge And I've thrown the bouquet of flowers left over the grave I sat in the waiting room, wasting my time And waiting for Judgment Day I praise liberty The freedom to obey Is the song that strangles me Well don't cross the line Oh, dream, America, dream I can't even sleep From the light's early dawn Oh, scream, America, scream Believe what you see From heroes and cons

It's 2019 and I'm 14 since I'm 6 I'm listening to you Guys 😢 you the best you make my childhood Rock! Love you Guys 😢💖

Me:Searching 21st Century breakdown KZfaq: 21st Century Girl BTS Me:Am I joke to you?

Green Day alluded to the 2008 recession, "we're in the decline" right at 2:08 also when the music video shows a fat cat businessman sliding uncontrollably downward literally underneath text that reads "market decline"

love green day

Underrated song.

"praise liberty, the freedom to obey"...my goodness this line is beautiful.

This is in my opinion, the most underrated Green Day song. I really liked the 'first half' of the song, and the last 30 seconds the most.

That kid who said "hey!" is gonna see this video on KZfaq in a few years and he's gonna let everyone know in the comment section that that's him and no one will believe him.

Their most underrated album, sadly.

Brilliant song

Im still here. After all these years. I dont know what else to do but to listen.

Easily the best Green Day music video.

This was Billie’s *REAL* emo phase, despite being almost 40.

Im' 64 years old a big fan of Greenday...this album is awesome! And with new album they are still knocking it out the park! Well done lads! Looking forward to a few more new albums in the future...thank you.

People who say green day suck just suck. This album was brilliant and the lyrics are very telling. An absolute banger. So much talent here.

It doesn't reall matter, but i miss this hair so much!I just want to live in it, it looks so frigging soft!

7 fucking years ago now, I FIRST HEARD THIS WHEN I WAS 11? What happened to time, holy shit.

love these guys!

Can't believe is been 15 years one of my favorite albums!! 🖤

I felt so hardcore, listening to this song in my room back when I was 11 years old. All of my friends listened to Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber but I was a big fan of Green Day

I do love from minute 4:00 till the end. It inspires something epic and special that it is difficult to express just with words.

This is without a doubt one of the best songs I have ever heard in my life.

Green Day always gives me a motivation when I was busy at school Thank you!!!! Green day.

its 2016 and this is still my jam

Great song!!!

the goosebumps when color arives on the video ending...BRRRRRR

Probably my most favorite and beautiful music video from green day

“My name is No One, the long lost son. Born on the 4th of July.” For some reason this lyric sticks with me the most, especially in recent times.

billie ages backwards trust me

Childhood nostalgia and what song got me into Green Day when I didn't even know where this song came from ❤

So relevant to now

Un temazo! Ojalá Green day haga otro disco de este estilo

Not just a song but one of the greatest art pieces of the 21st century

this is one of my favorite songs of all time. the lyrics are incredible, the drumming is amazing, and the guitars sound perfect, and the last minute or so of this song never fails to give me goosebumps. i love you green day!

this music video and song brings me so much serotonin

Relevant and timeless to this day.

GreenDay : (2.25--2.30) " Born on The Fourth of Julllly ". Me : Still listening to this and today is the Fourth of July 2020.

Best band ever😊

2024 masterpiece... i love greendays...thankyou from india ❤❤❤❤❤

Happy 14th anniversary to one of their best albums

green day is love. green day is life. 👌

THE LAST ONE BORN AND THE FIRST ONE TO RUN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 21st Century Breakdown is the best song in its own album and it’s not even close. Minority may be the best sound ever produced by any source in the known universe, but this song genuinely has the most badass and satisfying lyrics of all time. this is like Jesus of Suburbia, but better. Especially in the first part of the song, the lyrics are super kickass and flow amazingly, with awesome phrases such as “i was made of poison and blood” which implies that Billie Joe isn’t actually a human; rather an unbound entity with the ability to create the most beautiful and complex musical melodies in existence. Green day is my life

Another Green Day Masterpiece! Incredible!💯❤
