These dummies never understand that their country doesn't want them. Society grows and leaves some people behind. Adapt and grow or turn in to an old man yelling at clouds.
Psh, try saying that iN a sMaLL tOwN
Well, they also believe that America is identified by its small town culture. But it really isn't. And I speak as someone who grew up in a very very small farming community.
The thing is that nothing happens in small towns. They're generally static and full of people who have escaped the rest of society in one way or another. They are not the harbingers of the future, more like the leftover dregs of yesteryear.
Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash didn't act like this. Maybe you could aspire to be more like them, and less like... you.
Create an exclusionary song about not liking someone's behavior.
Whine about being excluded due to behavior.
Sounds about right.
That entire song is just a thinly veiled threat saying "we're going to murder you if you're trying something we disapprove of here in this place, where we have all the power."
It’s veiled? It’s literally the title
Let me guess: This choad thinks that "before all this bullshit started happening to us" is any time before April 12, 1861.
What a whiny loser
whiny loser
Describe country music in two words.
Even the guitar sounds like it's wallowing in self-pity. "Waaaaahw. Waaaaaahw. WAAAAAAHW."
Restore it to what? A time when we didn't acknowledge how terrible we always were? I always find it funny that the people with the least amount of things to worry about are always the most vocal about being "hurt".
The worst part is always how little they can relate to anyone who has always had it bad living in America, no matter what year it was. I guess it is ok for some to suffer as long as it's not them.
I want to go back to 3 days ago when I'd never heard of this chuckledick.
Seriously: just ignore this dingus. He's a waste and any press/ clicks is good press
The problem is "his country" is the Confederacy and by restored he means slavery reinstated. That is my take until I see him prove me wrong, which he won't.
Restore our country to what it was? Oh, you mean having black people in the back of the bus and LGBTQ people in the closet.
Personally, if we're going to revert anything to the 1950's, I say bring back the 1950's tax brackets. In 1955, anything a person earned over $400,000 ($4.4 million in today's money) was taxed at 91%.
When I grew up we bullied gay children until they killed themselves. I'll take cancel culture going too far over that any day.
He's a whiny little snowflake.
Lil Nas x (or someone else current idk, just seems like he'd be a good fit) should write a response song called "try singing that in an urban center"
Maybe try to release a less inflammatory video concept next time. He is appealing to the Maga crowd but is turning off many others.
All the cerebral content of a Teen Miss USA speech. What a fucking clown.
“I personally believe that U. S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should—our education over here in the U. S. should help the U. S., uh, or, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq, and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.”
Weird how it sounds like a Sarah Palin interview if you read it.
Two words: Bud Lite.
This distillates why I hate country music.
This ~~distillates~~ distills why I hate country music.
FTFY. "Distillate" has a very specific scientific meaning (it's the liquid that condenses and is collected as the product of the distillation), and it's a noun, not a verb.
I hope I don't sound like a dick, but I teach chemistry and I have this nearly pathological need to correct misused scientific terms. So... Sorry? You're welcome? Either way, have a nice day!
I don’t mind. I’m secure enough with my own stupidity. That’s how I learn. I can also apologize for my mistakes. The world needs more dicks. Btw, can you make me some LSD?
The song is fine. The video is full of fear-mongering and conflates people protesting injustice with petty criminals. So while you can infer what you want from the lyrics, since the band's in a video associated with this imagery tells me they're ignorant, somewhat racist, and pugnacious about it.
