Anonymous said: I know they are really in love, but Whatsername make me feel weird about them. It make me wonder if Billie is still in love with the other one, maybe he miss her. Or want her back. I dont think that he really want her back, hes with Adie. But then again, that song confuse me.
Billie wrote American Idiot by creating fictional characters in Whatsername, Jesus of Suburbia, Tunny etc. He may have based Whatsername on a person who knew or even was with, but they are just fictional characters and have no resemblence to Billie’s actual life.

In one interview Billie said that the inspiration behind Whatsername came from more than one girl who had been in his life, including Adrienne. He said something like, the older you get the more you can look back on past experiences & draw from them.

I actually think once he said Whatsername was about like all of the women he’d ever dated and he drew on those experiences to write it. But it doesn’t mean that he’s not madly in love with his wife (because he clearly is)
