True - but the 2 genres are totally different. I've had the pleasure of seeing Green Day live a few times and Bon Jovi multiple times in the past 17 years and Green Day and way ahead of Bon Jovi live. There's no comparison. So I do think it is purely a genre and very much a political thing. Remember the emphasis on anti-regime on American Idiot? Look at what Bon Jovi has stood for since 2001. Couldn't be poles apart.
