One of the best Youtube channels for music analysis and fandom is Polyphonic as they show the stripped down meaning in songs whether it be their lyrics or composition. It’s really unique take on covering music and showing it from non-aesthetic light but in a complete analytic breakdown. Imagine that one class you had in college that you actually liked writing papers in, and read what other people covered in their essay. That’s what these videos feel like, and they really take the cake with a new in-depth look at Green Day’s triumphant 2003 concept classic ‘American Idiot’.

The video with superb editing, all-encompassing research, and genuine approach displays the story of the characters in the lyrics of this epic punk rock opera that helped re-establish Green Day as one of the most prolific bands of a generation. If you know a Green Day fan, they need to see this.

If you need even more of a fun fix from Billie Joe Armstrong and company, watch our exclusive ‘press conference’ with band before their fantastic Wrigley Field shows last year.
