Question: Green day: What is ment by 7-11 in the american idiot !?
Answers:
The 7-11 in reference to that album, literally, is a gas station/convenience store, much like the Kwik-E-Mart on the Simpsons!.
In the context of the song though, it's Jesus of Suburbia's haven!. It's where he and his friends hang out, where he contemplates the questions he has, and where he goes to get away from his home life!.
That's why it's mentioned in the song Jesus of Suburbia, because he makes the decision to leave the safety of 7-11 and in Homecoming he is returning to the 7-11 after experiencing St!. Jimmy, living on the streets, and Whatsername!.
The reason it's not mentioned in the song American Idiot is because the song is Jesus of Suburbia's thoughts, it's what he's thinking politically, morally, etc!. In the other two songs, he's describing his surroundings, what he sees, and gives justifications and reasons for why he needs to leave or come back, he's questioning a different world in those two songs!. He's questioning the political world in American Idiot and questioning his own smaller world and why he allows it to play out like that in Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's the place where Jesus of Saburbia hangs out!. It's more than likely where he meets Saint Jimmy, and is introduced to the time of his life!. But naturally it all falls apart at the end and he goes home!. I could tell you the whole story if ya wish, lol!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
