American punk rock band Green Day’s newest release, “Revolution Radio,” is shaping up to a political statement on par with that of its most recognized album, “American Idiot.”

Green Day has never been a group that shies away from discussions about the political issues of our times. The band also has shown that attacking a presidential administration is not out of its comfort zone.

Green Day demonstrated its fearlessness in a lyric video for its song “Troubled Times,” which was released Monday on YouTube.

The video features images that relate to troubled times in America’s past such as photos of Martin Luther King Jr., women fighting for the right to vote and weapons of mass destruction.

These images are mixed with ones we see every day and face in many of our conversations. These include violence between people of color and the police, a woman wearing a hijab and scenes of passionate protests.

Perhaps the least ambiguous statement is made by images of President-elect Donald Trump. He is often pictured speaking at a podium. Surrounded by scenes of hatred and the fight against it, the video makes it seem as though he is the one instigating the tensions.

While not out of character for Green Day, this new video offers an interesting possibility for the band and the album.

“American Idiot” was arguably the biggest political statement of Green Day’s career, as it was a not-so-subtle attack on then-President George Bush’s administration. But that album arrived in the middle of Bush’s two terms.

“Revolution Radio” arrived in the midst of the recent campaign and tackled already existing conditions in our society. With this album being a precursor of Trump’s time as president, it can be hard not to wonder what the next four to eight years will mean for Green Day.

In an interview with Q Magazine, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said he would never write a song about Trump.

“I made sure of that, because he inspires me to do nothing, “Armstrong said.

But after Trump’s victory in the election, many fans are left wondering, “Will he keep that promise?”

If he keeps that promise and steers clear of a sequel to “American Idiot,” it is still possible for Green Day to take “Revolution Radio” in a new direction that makes just as strong of a statement as the former album.

This direction of thought was fueled when Armstrong led a chant of “No Trump. No KKK. No Fascist USA.” on stage at the American Music Awards.

Whether Armstrong sticks to his word of never being inspired to create based on Trump, “Revolution Radio” and Green Day’s upcoming tour to support the album are laying the foundation for another generation of “American Idiot”-like resistance.

Green Day is on an arena tour this spring. The band will perform at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines on April 3.
