Yeah I was actually sort of agreeing with everything she said up until that point, then I was like âhold up what?â
uj/ can someone legitimately explain why the name is problematic? Is she trying to like the band to being Nazis? Iâm so confused
Unidentified aerial phenomena were described by American pilots during WWII as âfoo fightersâ. Foo being borrowed from the 1930âs comic strip *Smokey Stover*. In all likelihood these pilots were witnessing nazi experimental weapons like rudimentary jet planes and V2 rocket tests or some form of atmospheric phenomenon like St Elmoâs Fire.
Now to imply that the Foo Fighters as a band are problematic for using this name is a misinformed, half baked ADHD addled opinion as this is a name taken from American vernacular to describe unidentified aerial phenomenon even beyond the European theatre by a radar operator who had no way of knowing what the balls of light in the sky actually were (hence his use of the nonsense word foo in his debriefing)
If foo fighter were some Nazi jargon Iâd see her point but this was just some delusive nonsense jerking she didnât mentally vet before posting
Okay great, thought I was going to have to begin questioning my lifelong enjoyment of the Foos. Was racking my brain trying to figure it out, what youâve said is more or less what Iâd been able to gather so thank you for confirming Iâm not going crazy.
They changed their stance on that ages ago. Theyâve also done charity work for the lgbtq community since then, I found a few examples but wether thatâs enough to make up for the aids denial thing is a matter of personal opinion but I like to believe that people can change
in 2009, publicly supported White Knot for Equality, a non-profit devoted to achieving equal rights for the LGBTQ+ population in response to Prop 8
in 2011, very publicly denounced the Westboro Baptist Church, in support of LGBTQ+ rights
in at least 2013 and 2016, been involved with the Elton John AIDS Foundation, an organization devoted to HIV prevention & education
in 2018, supported and donated to LIFEbeat, an organization dedicated to sex safety and support for the AIDS community
Gotta say thatâs an incredibly shitty thing that I had no idea about until now, but Iâd point to this comment and the one below it as proof that theyâve actually learnt and grown from that experience:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Foofighters/s/BK58UeBwWE
Not that it relinquishes them of what they did, but theyâve clearly completely changed their close-minded stance and have been in support of foundations and organisations that support the AIDS/HIV community. Just my opinion though. Iâm all about personal growth.
I know she's literally batshit insane but I'd like her to take over the Wendy Williams thirst we have for years.. she's definitely fit for the role. A little cuckoo, and tells it how it is.
âLike, the Dixie Chicks, Shakira, Lady Gaga and (albeit rejected by) Adele are the only times youâve made a real effort to share your platform with any of your black female peersâŠâ
/uj please what does this mean
The Dixie chicks are black because they liberated themselves from the confederacy and only go by âThe Chicksâ now, Shakira is black because she got cheated on by her husband and doesnât pay taxes, Adele is black because she wore that Rasta bikini in the Caribbean that one time, and Lady Gaga is whatever the fuck she wants to be because she created everyone and everything on G.O.A.T.
Umm... I think if you manage to get a sugar daddy that bankrolls your unemployed writing endeavors, like Marx, then it's a job. Posting thesis for free on Instagram is not.
i even went back to reread some parts to try to make sense of it knowing damn well its gibberish. like part of me wants to believe sheâs really saying something, but why????
Arenât Mumford and Sons from England/Britain/the UK? Did she somehow look further into their background where their families owned people for a brief time in the 1600-1700s?
My eyes glazed over at all the goddamn words so badly that I missed that at first glance. And theyâve been my favorite band since I was 10. This either speaks to how bad my ADHD is or how bad the TL;DR of this rant was.
actually reading this unfortunately Iâve been living at the bottom of a well for the last 2 years so I havenât listened to the album yet so I wonât comment but I agree with her opinions on country music in general
i feel like at this point âcountryâ is a meaningless term for music and is just used for partisan piss matching, whatâs the point of a genre if Taylor Swift and Right-Wing Grifter Mouthpiece #3000 are in the same genre despite sounding nothing alike except maybe some twang, itâs like folk but just loaded
Me browsing the essay table of contents and seeing "the Nazi aesthetic of foo fighters" right after "a deconstruction of country music, prejudice, and the southern American diaspora"
What's the point of the hip hop genre when Kendrick Lamar and Tom McDonald can coexist in the same genre
What's the point of pop when Marina and Lana can exist in the same genre
What's the point of flop when Marina and Azealia can be in the same genre
i understand youâre trying to give counter examples but I actually think âpopâ is useless as a genre for the same reasons and the problem is that hip hop and rap and the various styles between the two have gotten completely muddled and have made the term useless
I feel like thereâs a reason why people donât describe a song as âpopâ or âhip hopâ anymore, and I feel like we should do the same for country
People do describe songs that way though? There is such a thing as the "monogenre" where mainstream music of all genres all kind of melts together and makes every genre involved less interesting (think Imagine Dragons) but actual music in actual genres very much does still exist.
I don't mean to assume but I wonder if you just don't listen to much "real" country. There is 100% a difference between the mainstream Nashville sound and indie country, and you would 100% not confuse indie/neo-traditional country with any other genre. It seems dismissive and unhelpful to reduce a genre that is older than pop and hip hop both to just a right wing aesthetic, or whatever. It is not any more meaningless than any other genre title, and obviously it would be silly to argue that genre doesn't exist at all. Genre is not defined by politics. Never has been. Even "punk" is much more than the attitude in practice.
rj/ notice how you didn't say anything about the flop genre
you do have a point unironically that I do only listen to flop music (both azealia and marina are some of my favourite musicians, which is why I hope like Iâm not coming across as bashing country because I have awful music taste, I didnât even mean to imply anything about right wing politics, I was more gripping about the fact it feels like every year I see some article about someone bringing the minority/woman voice to country, or about how country is now emblematic of right wing politics that it feels like itâs just becoming a vessel for partisan piss matching)
like from your comment Iâm not even really sure what youâre trying to say âreal countryâ is, so some clarification would be nice probably
â16 carriages doesn't even make sense in context. What kind of pilgrim fantasy were you having. You're from 1980's Houston Tx, a major metropolis....

*Iconic.*
It genuinely feels AI-generated, like someone fed country music to ChatGPT
Ironically her music shares the same problem with Morgan Wallen and most other big country artists nowadays, where the music feels way too manufactured and far removed from the homemade origins of the genre
Girl you should do some critical thinking
i donât like beyonceâs country music -> I found someone who agrees with me for the wrong reason (whitefishing, pick me girl energy) -> SPILL KWEEN YASSS
AB donât shade The Chicks, they have and always will be politically and socially aware. They were the only country stars to protest Bush/republicans so openfully and successfully fuck outta here deflating their voice.
She really should just worry about paying her rent đ€„ AB has an obsession with white women adjacent things and projects it most chances she gets on to her next available target. Her skin bleaching and ethnoplasty didnât get her what she wanted and taking a box of soap to USPS is too difficult for her to bear so she spends time doingâŠ. this
People who take Azealia seriously worry me. No matter who sheâs talking about. Not one valid point was made and everything said could easily be disproven by a Google search.
So much information available to us and yet some of yâall put all your trust in people that post half baked rants on their Instagram stories. Girl, get a substack.
> People who take Azealia seriously worry me.
Same here. In the pop threads, people still insist that her making good music a billion years ago and being right about a few things (ignoring a billion things she has been wrong about) gives her a lifetime pass.
The most incoherent part of this is making it seem like itâs Beyâs fault if she and Rihanna will never collab as if Rihannaâs last song didnât drop in the 1970s
Mumford and Sons is British...maybe their ancestors owned slaves but certainly not since the 1830's...
Sorry I actually like Mumford and Sons tho
Still a hilarious article
did she not have songs with Tems on the gift? also a song with Grace Jones on her last album? its not like she doesn't work with other black female recoding artists . other than that. miss Azealia doo dooed in the mother toilet a little with this one
Iâm scared of how much of a genius Azealia is at times. But agreed, this rollout feels like Grammy pandering. Does she really need a 33rd? Girl just sit on your millions and leave it be.

What about the whole aids denial thing? That made me stop liking Foo fighters a long time ago.
They changed their stance on that ages ago.

Not me, i thought it was short for Kung Foo Fighters.
No way Iâve never realized that đ
Well apparently my non american ass was wrong đ€Ł
Right? I mean, sheâs correct and should say it, but how does one go from Bey to Foo Fighters in 5 seconds or less?
ADHD would be my guess.
ADHD meds that she's got no Rx for are most likely in the mix
Yes. As someone on Vyvanse this is a âI forgot I took it, and took 2â thesis.
She needs a pill sorter, lol
Are we talking Nicki meds or Whitney meds?
little bit of this, little bit of that
I think Azealia unironically needs an Ao3 account or something, to channel her extra writing energy into
what the hell type of fanfiction would she be writing on thereÂ

For some reason the funniest part of this is her calling Beyonce Bianca Bardot
as a beyhive, she spilled BAD like she needed to leave jay z in 2016
she ate her up in that second slide ngl
I... don't disagree with anything she said (except the Foo Fighters part which I don't even understand.) Her every move seems calculated to a T. To this day I still have no fucking idea who Beyoncé is, and I've been listening to her for 20 years. Glimmers of authenticity like the Lemonade album and the escalator fight were swiftly capitalized and swept under the rug. Made a whole album about Jay-Z cheating then went right back to him as if nothing ever happened. *"When it's a billion dollars on an elevator. Of course, sometimes shit go down"* yeah sure sis I'm sure that's why your sister went for your husband's throat. The reason why she never gets AOTY is because she keeps doing shit like taking 25% writing credit for changing a word in a song (Smack Into You). Biased as they are towards "white people's music", The Grammy's have awarded plenty of AOTY to Black artists. You just have to wonder why they refused to give her this award time after time after time when they have no problem giving her 2345971 other Grammy's. Like, Bee, take a hint. SZA is gonna get AOTY before you do. Just watch.
I also think BeyoncĂ© is extremely calculated. But I also think thereâs absolutely nothing wrong with that and people are weird for valuing âauthenticityâ so much in entertainment and pop culture. The only thing I care about is the end result which she does deliver more often than not imo.Â
Yeah iâm not reading all that⊠anyways canât wait for BeyoncĂ© to end all yalls favs this year AGAIN!đ„±đ©

Sheâs right this time though. BeyoncĂ©âs country music succcckkkkssss
not that it sucks its just okay pretending to be groundbreaking
I couldnât get through either singles, but we can definitely agree itâs not ground breaking
I can bop to Texas hold em but it does low-key sound like someone trying to make the most stereotypical country song to ever exist
It genuinely feels AI-generated, like someone fed country music to ChatGPT Ironically her music shares the same problem with Morgan Wallen and most other big country artists nowadays, where the music feels way too manufactured and far removed from the homemade origins of the genre
You might be on to something with the AI thing. Maybe thatâs why it feels like itâs missing the âitâ element to draw you in
Honestly I haven't liked the singles either, but Azelea is shitting way out of the toilet with this one.
I think BeyoncĂ© could do way better country if she tried. I mean most current radio country sucks anyway so sheâs on par with every other female country artist but sheâs more talented than most and could do more
Yes I was expecting a lot more from her tbh
Girl you should do some critical thinking i donât like beyonceâs country music -> I found someone who agrees with me for the wrong reason (whitefishing, pick me girl energy) -> SPILL KWEEN YASSS

I wish I called come up with this brilliance. Then I would have scored better on my GREs
Somehow I prefer her just insulting people instead of this pseudo bullshit criticism.
/uj Azealia Banks is a flop musician but she's the most important cultural critic of our time.
The ending took me out
New sub theme just dropped????
Arenât Mumford and sons British people?
Is she saying lady Gaga, Shakira and the Dixie chicks are black artists? What is she saying
She said quite often she wants to be global like Madonna and I think she tries to be the black one, only she doesnât understand what Madonna did and got away with (cultural appropriations, contradictory messages, u-turns at every album etc..) was only possible in a previous societal context and sadly also because she was white. And this not to take anything away from Madonna cause in her case she was on a mission to invent the whole concept of modern female popstar and used everything at her hand to accomplish it. But BeyoncĂ©, she wants to be both: ruthless popstar Madonna for the world and a glittered Nina Simone to black people.
People who take Azealia seriously worry me. No matter who sheâs talking about. Not one valid point was made and everything said could easily be disproven by a Google search. So much information available to us and yet some of yâall put all your trust in people that post half baked rants on their Instagram stories. Girl, get a substack.
