Did these conservatives miss American Idiot, or are they just being reactionary as they so often are?

This is the same group of people who (somehow) thought Killing in the Name Of was aligned with their views, and now make comments like "I liked RATM until they got so political."

Most of them are just peanut brains with the Goldfish attention span who only like the sound but never listen to the lyrics. Hell one of the local grocery stores around here in their mix has a few tracks by the stones in particular give me shelter. It's an iconic song. But most people have no idea what the lyrics are. It's sort of surreal to walk through the store listening to the singer scream out rape and murder it's just a shot away. It's a fun sort of irony I suppose.
