The influence of performers like Green Day and Lady Gaga further illustrates how art is being infused with political symbolism. Green Day's altered lyrics during live performances—such as referencing "MAGA" and connecting "Jesus of Suburbia" to the Palestine conflict—indicate a deliberate effort to intertwine activism with entertainment, often in a provocative or controversial manner.

Some fans and practitioners of witchcraft see her incorporation of magical symbolism as part of a larger cultural trend, blurring the lines between entertainment, mysticism, and social influence.
