    From Wikipedia:

    “Wake Me Up When September Ends” was written by frontman Billie Joe Armstrong about his father, who died from esophageal cancer when Armstrong was 10 years old. Armstrong at one point dubbed the song the most autobiographical he had written to that point, considering it “therapeutic” but also difficult to perform.

      “Armstrong has expressed his displeasure with the memes and has joked about wanting to write a sequel song in response called ‘Shut the Fuck Up When October Comes’.”
