Martin Luther wanted some changes to be made in the Catholic Church because he used to be a Catholic priest, but what about the Protestants of this modern-day? they don't belong in the Catholic Church at all, so what are they really fussing all about?
again, I'm just curious.

As of today era, majority will choose the easy one.
If found that protestant has a slogan "Accept Jesus and you will go to heaven" easy going people will select it.
Catholic slogan "Do good things and you will go to heaven", and it is not an easy way thou
Only the true seeker will find the straight path to G-d

Wow..this ain't that tough a concept.
Protestants represent many denominations...nearly all Christians, who are not Orthodox or Catholic would be considered part of the larger Protestant Group.
Now Luther did seek changes in the Church, because as he read the Bible he saw that Salvation was by Faith alone. It is that concept, practically exclusively that separates the camps. The reason we are still 'protesting' as because we believe the Church to be wrong, and they us. We are 'fussing' because Salvation is what it is all about. It is not a minor point. All Christians want everyone to find Salvation...only we disagree on how, and where to find it.
So yes, we do know what we are 'protesting' (a very poor choice of words by the way) about. We believe in distinctly different things, things that we each believe are critical to how we live, and how we're Saved. This goes beyond mere 'fussing', and to trivialize it is demeaning to us both.

They think Martin Luther was a rock n' roll band and that The Protestant Reformation was a hit song.

Protestants believe that they follow the Holy Scripture more faithfully than do Catholics.
With Protestants, the bible is the main thing. They refuse to to follow doctrine from non-cannonical books. The bible doesn't change but Catholic teaching does change over time. When Catholics follow their tradition, it may involve veneration of saints, and even praying to them.
The bible says not to make any graven images. The Catholics make crosses with a bearded man on them and call him Christ. Catholics confess their sins through a priest. Protestants go directly to the Lord.
Some unmarried Priests attack little boys from behind and consider it their right to do so. The Roman Catholic Church is demonic from the top down. I could go on.

I said here several times that protestants protest too much because it's the tradition that was passed to them by Luther and the gang.

Not really, Right Wing Authoritarians tend to just blinding follow whatever their leaders tell them to.

I don't think many of them know to be honest.
