Green Day led an anti-Donald Trump chant during American Music Awards ceremony performance

'No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA'

Punk has consistently epitomised the disaffected youth, a subculture filled with DIY bands clashing against the system.

Whether Green Day can really still be called a punk band remains debatable but their latest stand against President-elect Donald Trump is a definitive punk moment.

While performing at the American Music Awards, which featured performances by the likes of Lady Gaga and Sting, singer Billie Joe Armstrong decided to make a stand.

Taking to the stage to perform the single “Bang Bang” off the album Revolution Radio, the band broke out into a chant, shouting “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA.”

The band has made numerous statements against Trump over the last year. Earlier this month, at the MTV music awards, the band changed the lyrics of 2004 single “American Idiot” to “Can you hear the sounds of hysteria / The subliminal Trump America.”

In an interview with Kerrang!, Armstrong compared Trump to Hitler, saying: “He just said, ‘You have no options and I’m the only one, and I’m going to take care of it myself.’ I mean, that’s f***ing Hitler, man!”

Meanwhile, Trump recently started Tweeting about his distaste for Saturday Night Live, saying the show should be retired after mocking him. Alec Baldwin used the social media platform to shoot down the President-elect once more.
