Who Wrote Holden Caulfield? by Green Day delves into themes of teenage angst, isolation, and the struggle to find one's identity. The song, inspired by the character Holden Caulfield from J.D. Salinger's novel 'The Catcher in the Rye', reflects the rebellious and disillusioned feelings of adolescence. Pivotal moments include lyrics that echo Holden's sense of alienation and conflict with societal expectations. This punk rock anthem captures the essence of feeling misunderstood and searching for authenticity in a superficial world.
