Kim Gordon Updates ‘Bye Bye’ With Terms ‘Canceled’ by President Trump: ‘Mental Health, Electric Vehicle, Gulf of Mexico…’

Kim Gordon released 'Bye Bye 25!' on June 13, 2025, a reworked protest song using words banned by President Trump from her 2024 album The Collective.
She created the song in response to the Trump administration’s attempt since January 2025 to erase over 350 cultural terms from government records and research proposals.
The track includes words such as "mental health," "climate change," "female," and "immigrants" and features a video styled after Bob Dylan’s cue card performance.
In a June 2025 video chat, Gordon observed that many people remain largely shocked and uncertain about how to respond, highlighting the prevailing political uncertainty.
'Bye Bye 25!' precedes nationwide "No Kings" protests on June 14, 2025, with proceeds donated to Noise for Now, a reproductive rights nonprofit.
