I'm so confused, I guess I'm just an American Idiot
April 13, 2006 7:58 AM

Can someone explain to me what the Green Day album, American Idiot means / is about? I've listened to it numerous times, and I like it, and I've been told the whole thing is supposed to be a story / rock opera / whatever, but I Just. Don't. Get. It.

I've never been good at figuring out symbolism and hidding meanings and shit like that, so please take pity on me and explain, if you understand it.

Who is Saint Jimmy? What is his relation to Whatshername? Who is the Jesus of Suburbia, and what is his significance and relationship to the others in the story?

What the hell else is going on? Please help.
