On Thursday, August 28, the East Bay punk trio—consisting of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool—took to TikTok with a clip from their recent concert in Lima, Peru, showing passionate fans packed against the stage barriers, singing along to their hit "Basket Case." The caption was pure gold: "Don't need A.I. for our crowds ?"

Green Day's post came just days after Smith's tour video went viral for all the wrong reasons, making their dig both timely and brutal. Fans immediately caught on to the band’s subtle burn, and reactions began flooding the comments section.
"THE CAPTION HAS ME DYING," another added.
"It's great to see a real crowd in action! Sometimes nothing beats that authentic energy," pointed out a third.
The drama began on August 12, when Smith, 56, posted a video on his social media accounts showcasing highlights from his Based on a True Story tour. The footage featured what appeared to be packed, enthusiastic crowds holding signs and cheering for the Grammy-winning artist.
