Green Day's American Idiot with Erin

Erin, host of The Fic List podcast, joins to talk about how Green Day's seminole album, American Idiot, helped shape her journey from childhood to teenagerdome.

We talk about her experience growing up in suburbia, how pop punk helped her feel seen, and how par asocial relationships help us form our sense of self. Tangents include the tour vlogs of the early 2000's, meeting Cobra Starship, and the way pop punk helped her feel her feelings in a safe rebellious way as a kid.
