American idiot reporting party commotion (6)
I believe the answer is:
doofus
'commotion' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'american idiot reporting party' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'american' could be 'us' (United States) and 'us' is found in the answer.
'party' could be 'do' (do is a kind of party) and 'do' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'of' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for doofus that I've seen before include "Nitwit" , "American fool - US food (anag)" .)
