I think that this song is all about not being scared to be who you really are and you should do what you want to do and not what others want you to do. Because YOU are your OWN PERSON. This song is about about stepping out and being an individual and not just another sheep in the herd. You shouldn't let anyone dictate your life.

Be yourself, don't let anyone tell you what to do, and also, this is from me F*CK OFF GEORGE BUSH.

This song is about seperating yourself from the culture and being the small minority.

This song is about being yourself , don't be like everyone else. If we were all like each other our lives would be hell. When september 11th happened they took all political songs off the radio but green day wrote wake me up when september ends and amercain idiot and they were not afraid to say "fuck you" to george bush so they are the minority and they want us all to be minorities.

This song is about being an individual or a nonconformist and going against the majority of the crowd.

This song is all about standing out, and standing up. Be whoever you want to, don't let anyone dictate your life. Live it however you want to.

This song is about not conforming. It's about being your own person, no matter what other people think.

It's about not following the mainstream crowd and doing what YOU want to do. Just because what you want to do has other people doing it, doesn't mean that you're being a poser or whatever. You're still doing it because you want to and the minority is the smaller part, so you aren't the ONLY one doing it, you're just the smaller bit of people.

This song is about being yourself. Its really obvious in the first verse when it says "I WANNA BE THE MINORITY!" or in other words, I want to be different. I am not a follower. Minority also means to not give in to what the government tells you. That meaning stands out in the part "I DONT NEED YOUR AUTHORITY, DOWN WITH THE MORAL MAJORITY"

It's about herd mentality, basically, and I also think it's about how ultimately EVERYONE is in the minority in some form or other, which just adds to the idiocy of trying to be normal

Minority is about breaking away from the status quo, and being your own person. Its like 'who cares what the majority thinks? I say ______ because its what I believe in" You can be who you want to be, and you don't really have to do what everyone says you have to do, even if they put a gun to your head. "I want to be the MINORITY, I don't need your AUTHORITY, DOWN WITH THE MORAL MAJORITY..." do the math people
