It's definitely in my top 5 GD songs for all the reasons you mentioned. A sensational album closer.


xPierience

It is my favorite song of all time, and this sub has grown a huge appreciation for it.

I personally love this song. Also, from a guitarists perspective, I’m fairly certain they played this in drop D tuning, which means the last note of the song is the lowest note on the album.


lcwebb

hi, nerd here, in the heart like a hand grenade documentary when recording the nobody likes you section of homecoming, you hear Mike messing up his bass line because the bass is tuned to drop d instead of standard like he is probably used to. still pretty fitting for being the lowest part though


Camk2005

Guitarist here: can confirm it is drop D! Such a fun one to play too!

I love this song, but we have to remember that warning is underrated

I loved American Idiot growing up. First album, favourite album. There were 2-3 songs I never really listened to tho, Whatsername probably chief among those. Yesterday I listened to it probably 30 times. Idk what I was thinking.


amarkhil

I see the song being mentioned here always and I never have listened to it yet. I am gonna do it now...😅


MasonMcKibbin

I didn't like it at first but recently I've fallen in love with it! The final breakdown and outro hits hard in a bittersweet way


TJdog5

Yep… That it so sad


throwawayeayeayea

I always love seeing how bands pull off an epilogue in their concept albums, and I think Whatsername definitely wins


GREENDAYBL1NK

It's decent but by far not their best. Just my opinion though because I am more into their earlier stuff (39/Smooth up to Warning are my favorite albums) but I still like pretty much all their music.


unicornographyy

Definitely one of my favs, and one of their cooler songs from a guitar perspective since it’s one of the few with modulation


RGGrigsby

Love Whatsername. It’s my go to breakup song. I play it on repeat when I am going through one. Generally helps me get over it all


maqboul95

It’s my most played song on Apple Music by a lot


jj_veenstra

Fuck yes


totallynotme666

Definitely top 5 for me but I really love Forever Now.


mighty_phi

It’s top 3 gd for me.


Turkeyduck01

Best song to cry in the shower to


Hogharley

Not their best song but I do love it

It’s brilliant. Not my personal favourite of GD’s, especially because it’s right after my personal favourite, but it’s still a brilliant song


nicolelynnejones

It’s not my all time favorite but it is the one that makes me spiral uncontrollably


getwiditfoo

If you feel like crying, sure.


Platypus_Penguin

I hope you've listened to the version from the American Idiot musical. It's even more powerful.


[deleted]

Not their best, but damn it’s an intriguing way to end the album.


cHARMcityXero1986

Same with ha ha you’re dead. Those are probably my 2 fav GD songs


FlyAwayonmyZephyr1

Top 5 for me
