Because Republicans don't care about art

because when anything is made to be outwardly right-wing it sounds like a hamfisted, shitty parody of the genre.

Skrewdriver for instance.

qotsa is the only decent counterexample I can think of

>queen of the stone age
>right-wing

We got a denial in here.

idk probably because left leaning people tend to be into art and whatnot. Also I'm sure there are plenty of musicians closer to center because not all music is politically motivated anyways

Simple: left-wing people tend to make decisions on what is emotionally/morally right rather than logically right, and music is about evoking an emotional response in people.
Also they tend to be more open to drug use for inspiration.

>Homme has described himself as "very politically conservative" and "very socially liberal", considering himself a "fallen libertarian".
I mean, he's not exactly Ted Nugent, but he's certainly more right-wing than most.

wasn't bowie right wing?

Conservatives are busy having real careers.

Libertarians are cool so good for him.

Too bad all their jobs are shit.

Because right-wing musicians know to keep their mouth shut if they want to continue selling to a large amount of their audience

Zappa, Varg and Wagner are literally the only good right-wing musicians there's ever been

>scientists don't have real careers

the indie shit the fags who frequent this board worship are almost exclusively soft-leftist slobs
metal, country and industrial musicians are for the most part right-wing and produce vastly superior works

lmao

Conservatives are tradtionalists and don't want things to change from "the good ol days" which is basically a romanticized version of the last generation

Leftists want change and new advancements

99% of them don't, they take money for research and rarely produce anything of value

These and on top of my head, Dave Mustaine, Bjork, Billy Corgan and Morrissey (yes him, don't deny it kids).

This thread is just as embarrassing as something you would find on Sup Forums. Politics have no reason to be in music whatsoever and it's a disgrace to think otherwise. This left vs right shit has gone far enough

>Morrissey
>right-wing
where'd you pull that from fampai

Just like Brexit amirite? Because they want 'change' and 'new advancements'.

those genres only became right-wing recently.. most of the good works were made by leftists, Sabbath, TG, Coil, TVZ, Guthrie.

NSBM for instance is awful, post-9/11 country music is terrible, neo-folk is spork music.

Because Conservatives are boring people

They're too busy being faggots to actually enjoy life desu.

Country has been conservative since it was still called hillbilly music, TVZ and Guthrie are exceptions. It's a traditional music by design.

>Bjork
Sjource

>every advancement in the past 3 centuries
>nothing of value
ok kid

Morrissey likes UKIP

Are you really saying that a lot of the Leave vote wasnt down to wanting to go back to the days of old where Britain was Great and had power?

And TVZ has at least one song that's not exactly politically correct.

youtube.com/watch?v=aDaTVUq4WNo

He's not really.Nothing about him is inherently right-wing with the exception of being incredibly patriotic/slightly racist. He did say he supported UKIP, but he's also recently said he doesn't like Trump and would have supported Bernie. He's more of a contrarian than right-wing.

>not exactly politically correct
So does Bob Dylan, no one cared then.

He was also very anti-Thatcher, and very anti-Cameron, so even if he is right-wing it would probably be the populist working class type, which might just fit into his fondness of the English working classes.

>GET RID OF DA NEW PEOPLE HEAR GIMMIE BACK MY JOLLY OL ENGLAND
>not a shameful return to past

Dylan's music was (at that time at least) not politically correct because it was on the far-side of what the left wanted. The song I posted isn't exactly hiding it's anti-asian views.

No one cared then isn't a good argument against racism in a song btw.

>Politcally correct
>the left
in case you havent noticed there are far more political taboos in the right than the left

Every folk genre that country takes from were the most progressive, leftist forms of music in the 19th and 20th century. I hate when people think Appalachian = dumb hick Southerner.

he literally said nigger.

because he left wing controls the media and they tell you what sounds good and of course they push their ideals further with their leftist bands

also this world view is popular in minorities and lower class people because it promises them a vague ideal escape from their current situations with this hated of the sat us quo is fuels their artistic endeavors… ironically they can't see that the leftist communist/socialist liberals lovers are the real status quo, they're only hidden by using the "I'm your friend I'm here to help." but really they exploiting you all because in the end we're all merely cattle to people with lofty ambitions for control.

hope that helps OP

Bryan is the patrician Conservative musician

>not realizing that some of the greatest rock and early glam/punk bands had fascist aesthetics

are you on fucking meth?

a) this is one of their worst songs
b) on one of their worst albums
c) and they suck as a band in general

Because they don't have real jobs. They demonize the rich and want love and equality because their shitty political stance don't actually affect them

this would make sense if you had any context on history where the media was nearly a state-run, right-wing extension of the government for the majority of recorded music's history.

Read any book on the history of country music and how it was marketed, when the industry sprouted up in the 20s and 30s it was marketed as "non-city" and, yes, "traditional" music.
I'm assuming this wasn't targeted towards my post because TVZ wasn't a band.
In a song openly criticizing the treatment of black people, specifically a black man in the American judicial system. John Lennon had a song with nigger in the title and it was well-received by the black leaders of the day.

Keep in mind that being 'left wing' essentially means 'more power to the government'

anti authoritarians tend to be right wing

unfortunately, there isn't a real right wing. Donald trump isn't right wing.

GWB wasn't right wing

the establishment and major media push left wing agenda for a reason. they want absolute power. all you kids on the internet demonizing "the right" are doing exactly what "the man" wants you to

be suspicious of the shit they are force feeding you

>more political taboos in the right than the left
yeah that's because EVERYTHING on the left is considered "okay" and "normal" and "acceptable" in their utopian idea of society

...

Keith moon from The Who

When Bowie was completely out of his mind on coke he said he admired the fascists.

Otherwise I see no real indications he was conservative.

Sadly things ain't so black and white.

uhhh wow. you know there's two axis on the political spectrum and neither right nor left have anything to do with authoritarianism?

for all their whining about sjw and pc culture, the right's persecution complex is amazing, the right wing still hold a lot of power pal dont worry.

Most were doing it to be edgy not because they were actually right wing. They did it to upset conservatives.

I know they are fucking around and bla bla muh free speech but if they were to do that today they will be boycotted for life.

This is because fascists have good fashion, its not an endorsement of politics.

Zappa seemed to despise both parties.

>the right wing still hold a lot of power pal dont worry

And there should be more

Johnny Cash was a moderate but his favorite president was Nixon.
>inb4 some user mentions the EPA
That's obviously not what Nixon was known for in his day and Cash wasn't someone who followed politics much, so I doubt that was on his mind when he said that.

No they wouldn't. Fat White Family are a band that have quite a bit of buzz in the UK and they use fascist imagery

Or nah

see Stalin's Russia. Most powerful right wing dictatorships have all started as social leftist crusades for the "common" man. this is only done to attack bodies into the movement and once they have the influence and switch sides because there is no true left and right. they're all greedy fucks out to get your stuff.

...

Sup Forums doesn't seem to realize politics are far more complex than "this side/that side".

Libertarians, conservatives, and fascists are all three different things.

The fact of the matter is, pretty much all musicians, as well as all entertainers and producers of intellectual properties, are functionally a form of libertarians.

They don't want any government interference in their line of work, and most of them want as much personal freedom (to do as many drugs as they damn well please) as possible; however, they still want every cent that is owed to them and complete ownership of their intellectual property. Some may express other sentiments, and even donate to whatever cause (itself not an act of anything other than charity), but at the end of the day, all they want is to be left alone and make music.

>the right's persecution complex is amazing
Who are these right's persecution? If you're talking about big businesses they do not represent regular people who just want to be left alone from the pc culture and be told how and what to do and not to do.

woke

you don't have to be a leftist to despise the GOP

>attack bodies
typo meant to type attract bodies

Well when you're life consists of mountains of cocaine that probably sounds like a reasonable thing to say

>too lazy to defend your own intellectual property
>waaah pls nanny-state pass a law to extend my Mickey Mouse patent for 2,000 years longer

>Well when you're life consists of mountains of cocaine
What the fuck even is this sentence?

Don't really want to talk politics on here not sure why I posted in the first place but I feel it's only slightly disingenuous to suggest socialist leanings are going to lead to a new stalinist russia.

>Read any book on the history of country music and how it was marketed, when the industry sprouted up in the 20s and 30s it was marketed as "non-city" and, yes, "traditional" music.
No one's going to respond to this?

>USSR
>Right Wing

.

Socialist leanings are for babbies who want a nanny state. Left wingers should be purged from Sup Forums

Guthrie was folk.

Most country singers from the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's have been pretty old-fashioned in their beliefs.

Well David Bowie was extremely addicted to cocaine at that point in his life

Damn I respect him a lot more now

Folk and country, especially in Guthrie's day, were pretty interchangeable. Hank Williams called himself a folk singer as much as he did a country singer.

>h-he was on coke g-guys
Face it, in that time Bowie like the power of the SS and admired the order. I think he wanted his music so be influential like the way the Nazi's were

First day on Sup Forums?

wasnt guthrie a communist though?

He was role playing as "the white duke" and on coke

It's no accident that 'right wing' is now a euphemism for

>racist
>homophobic
>sexist
>bigot

which is really sad. doesn't really matter because we essentially live in a one party system (speaking as an american) and, at a national level, any choice you have in a voting booth is just an illusion

Because art is illogical and stupid to invest time in because it has zero practical payoffs, and right wingers would avoid something like that like the plague.

why are you on this board if you hate art so much?

They use a lot of communist imagery, probably because they are genuinely really, really left-wing

didn't say he hated it

That's true, but at the time he said that he also believed witches were trying to steal his sperm. You can't really take anything he said at that time as representative of his actual views.

>tfw being called and labeled such to the point I don't care anymore

Also I'm not a "right-wing" as they say but just giving my opinions on certain things and I have actually lost a few friends. I learned to just keep my mouth shut and nod my head like a moron.

Yeah but they've used nazi imagery. My point wasnt that they were right wing, my point was that you wont get blacklisted for nazi imagery.

Also I don't think theyre that far left they just use the imagery because it riles people and gets them talked about but I could be wrong.

I don't. I'm just saying that, from a sheer practicality standpoint, you would have to be pretty braindead to invest a serious amount of time in it unless you have a weird desire to be a martyr. Most artists fail, and those who succeed rarely make any profit that's worth their time. At best, they can hope to be famous for a few centuries after they die. They probably won't, though.

Most "right wing" people are more into instant results or long-term guaranteed payoffs. To people with that mindset, art is just a stupid pursuit in general. In the time it takes to organize gigs, learn your instrument, write songs, practice, etc. (which is all done for free on your own time, and most gigs have you pay for the timeslot nowadays), you could be working or investing or looking for new opportunities or making contacts.

Well why does he look down on artists with disdain then. It's just typical of right wing cunts who lack any empathy.

DAILY REMINDER

Nazi Germany and Soviet Union, the scariest bad guys evar, were

>LEFT
>WING

>bourgeois feminist social justice trend hopping liberals

>real leftists

pick numero uno

>Why most of the good music around is make by left-wing people?
It isn't. Maybe popular music is, but considering the whole spectrum it's closer to 50/50

If you get past the murdering innocents thing (which the United States also does regularly) NG and the USSR were pretty cool.

The "lel hitler was socialist" meme needs to end. The Nazi Party wasn't socialist, despite calling themselves that. They were pretty much economically unaffiliated. Socially, they were authoritarian. Because of these two traits, they are classified as fascist.

what's real leftist politics for you, widespread famine and death?
