Nah, if even given commiebois my cash.

no, but I start listening to some for the same reason

>We're feminist, we support homosexuality and individualism, we're in favor of a transparent world leadership.

Nah, that's stupid, but I have stopped respecting their opinions on things outside of music, not that I ever placed must emphasis on that anyway

If he doesn't like it here he can leave.

how can they be for a transparent world government when they're cryptic and illusive themselves?

i know that review is old but fuck does that logic piss me off

and don't give me the "the personal lives don't matter it's about the art"
the personal lives and people behind an album are always attached to the album

I don't really follow musicians well enough to know about their political views. That being said, there might be a few examples.

Run The Jewels because RTJ3 was literally MAN FUCK DRUMPF AND FUCK WHITE PEOPLE, which is funny since I'm pretty sure their primary audience is white people. (More of a criticism of RTJ3 because I still enjoy RTJ2)

I also don't know if I can ever enjoy AJJ again since they took a great band name that nobody gave a shit about and tucked their tale in between they legs. It's hard for me to take them seriously now when listening to their lyrics and thinking about that.
>oh all this stuff we sing about is okay
>but we don't want anybody to be offended by our name :(

I legitimately thought it was a fucking satirical joke on SJWs but holy fuck

>We support...individualism
I thought this was pretty clear.

A lot of people can't leave. Xiu Xiu can, but this criticism is often used whenever ANYONE has criticism of the country. It should be noted I don't agree with burning flags or stuff like that but "just leave" isn't exactly a good response

this is such a hick thing to say lmao

You're retarded if you care about flag burning. The republicans on this site are worse than the sjws. Same goes for death grips, feminism as a philosophy (as opposed to the current cultural situation) is fine, as is individualism and transparency. RTJ is fucking stupid though

>how can they be for a transparent world government when they're cryptic and illusive themselves?
they aren't cryptic. they just don't tell you everything about them like majority of ppl in the world.

it's entirely different that those in charge of making and delivering policies that affect all who live under its government are expected to demonstrate a level of transparency and working so you can see how and from whom those policies have come about, than it is to expect transparency of an artistic project, an entirely optional engagement on the part of the audience, to which image often plays a part in enjoyment of the product

>world leadership.


Well its time to move to space

Even if they said sometuing bad I still wouldn't stop listening. Saying that Xiu Xiu didn't do nothing wrong because USA is a shitty country. Their just not saying anything groundbreaking.

No, because that's stupid.

>feminism as a philosophy (as opposed to the current cultural situation)

>>world leadership.
>Well its time to move to space


Yes because the ones that care about "world leadership" would not complain if you gone to another place and created a country there that wont mess with earth, right? I mean you aren't at earth (so, "the world"), so they shouldnt care about you.

Protip:The kind of "world government types guys" dont really care about it and are just using it to something else

Che cazzo c'entri te con gli americani?

So you don't think how someone can see that as disrespectful and tasteless?
I'm a liberal and I'm from a suburban town in south eastern va, I'm nothing close to a hick.

telling people about yourself is different than ignoring the majority of the audience and hiding every faucet of your own life and mindset when creating
you have a point but an artistic project can sometimes have a similar amount of power that a government has, it's just that death grips doesn't seem to want to steer the power and they put faith into the audience even if things can be misunderstood and misconstrued which is why i don't get why they would be so against explaining where they're at mentally when making albums or process in their work

I know it's stupid to stop liking an artist because o their political views, but what about starting to like an artist more (or at all) after you find out their politics?

WTF, now I like DG.

>is different than ignoring the majority of the audience and hiding every faucet of your own life and mindset when creating
when have they done that?
they play live shows
have done interviews
post on twitter, fb, instagram

being cryptic is what buckethead and burial does. dg is transparent.

Have you heard xiu xiu? Jamie's always been an edge Meister

> It should be noted I don't agree with burning flags or stuff like that but "just leave" isn't exactly a good response
Can you even read?

Unless the politics make the music hard to listen to, I don't care. Give me a band with Pol Pot on drums, Hitler on vocals, Stalin on bass and Mussolini as a second drummer, if it makes good music I'll listen to it.

vuole sentirsi hipster

Buzz

>suburban town
>Virginia

You're not helping your case, son

Nope. That being said it is weird to think Kendrick might seriously think minority groups were Israelites. I'm pretty sure he's just using that as a metaphor but it's mentioned twice so I dunno man

>band has two drummers

Yeah
I have no idea how I skipped over that part,maybe because I'm tired

The most EVIL line-up imaginable

>how can they be for a transparent world government when they're cryptic and illusive themselves?
Because they're a rap group and not the government?

deleting his discog and lowering my rym ratings

yeah i guess you're right

like they've said, it's a double edged sword, not getting involved in the competitive side of music keeps you away from catching Ls but you don't hold as much weight as someone who is vocal about their opinions through things out side of their music

That really doesn't mean anything.

>but you don't hold as much weight as someone who is vocal about their opinions through things out side of their music
how so?
Last time i check Adele tops the charts in sales and i have no clue what her opinions are outside of music.

>hiding every faucet
Never let gays use your bath

>no Tojo
What are even doing. Fucking amateurs.

Nothing would ever progress in a country if that's what people did.

Good to see you're using a trip, it makes it easier to filter out stupidity.

lol
go to adele's twitter and look at her latest tweet then lol. i'm not a fan of talking head figures but i also think just throwing your music into the ether unconnected to your own personal story and opinions is what it is.

not like death grips cares anyways

tbt when Xiu Xiu released a video via YouPorn

I'd have Hitler on keyboards and Mussolini on vocals personally.

No, I'm not a crybaby right-winger.

>go to adele's twitter and look at her latest tweet then lol
what am i missing besides reminding ppl to vote?

you have some very silly assumptions

Wtf I love Xiu Xiu even more now

>calling the right cry babies
>meanwhile the left are literally cry babies

rich white tumblr kids aren't the left.

Actually I've seen more whining from the right then the left.

>"Fox"

that's her opinion about how it's important to vote, Death Grips have only talked about their opinions through their music and old ass interviews they mostly did to gain traction for their band as most labels (i'd imagine epic) encourage. if you scroll down she's posted about world hunger and donation, showing how she finds that important.

They entire political spectrum are all crybabies, the center included. There's a lot of growing up needed on all sides.

oh i see. ehh I don't find that much of an opinion just basic stuff.
thought you referring to something similar to grizzly bears meltdown

The fact that Sup Forums is non-stop whining about killing nazis in a Wolfenstein video game is enough proof I need that the right-wingers on this site are literal children.

anybody who post on Sup Forums is a literal child.

If you don't vote you are actually a dickhead though. Spoil your ballot if you want, but not voting at all is unbelievably stupid

death grips said they don't vote in an interview a long time ago tho so there's that

Great thread!

Nope, the more confused people are the better. Easier to manipulate and get an album out of them! Just trying to help! :)

they also do dumb shit like "yellow pills" and spend all their money at a expensive hotel so not surprising they don't vote.

That's because you're on Sup Forums

hey cockskin, people died for my right to not vote

The Knife is too good to disregard because of their retarded political views.

A lot of musicians have left leaning politics as they tend to be filthy city slickers.
I'll chalk up most of it to naiveté.

For the musicians I listen to a lot of fans disagree with them, but they tend to be polite about it since they still love their music.

Nah, its the other way around. Voting is stupid.

And to answer OP's question, nah not really unless the politics are really blatantly bad. Most musicians have no idea what they're talking about in terms of political stances. They're musicians, not political scientists, so I don't really care for their message in that aspect.

eh

>feminist
>homosexuality
>individualism
>world leadership (as a concept in general)
the nu-male levels are off the charts

>Nah, its the other way around. Voting is stupid.
how else are we going to save our healthcare dumbass

This isn't a cringe thread.

Like politicians care for our well being anyway.

Nice, going to start to listen to them know.
Fuck the US

>A lot of musicians have left leaning politics as they tend to be filthy city slickers.
>I'll chalk up most of it to naiveté.
Take some dadrock band like Jefferson Airplane. Holy God, were their politics uninformed and cringe-inducing.

the aca saved my life dumbass. you really ought to research more about what you're voting for.

The problem is not the US but US capitalist cronies made out of jews and anglos with imperialist ambitions.

Concentrate your anger not on average Joes but on the bankers, the congressmen and the billionaires that push their influence on the rest of the world via puppets like Trump/Clinton and divisive meme ideologies like the alt-right and neo-liberalism/political correctness/meme marxism/SJW-ism.

What's the point of this?

We need to reduce the surplus population though

I'm not voting for anything. Most of the rights we have as citizens today weren't voted for and given to us benevolently by politicians. They had to be fought for on the streets. Voting is a redundant act that makes us assume that the status quo and political establishment wants to concede rights to us over rights to the capitalist class. The way it is today, most people only leave their houses to vote every 4 years (and if we're lucky every 2) and thats it. Thats the level of their political involvement. Voting pacifies a population.

This, for example, don't hate the CIA for CP trade, blame the jews who benefit from it and would use the CIA as a scapegoat for their crimes if the general public ever find out.

I haven't but I know people who refuse to listen to an artist because they said something "offensive" at one point in their careers

Two of Mussolini's descendants actually ended up having careers in music.

What a life worth saving! :)

Of course they can leave. Can they leave and have the perfect, comfy life that they think they're entitled to? No, but they can definitely leave. They just won't because it's not actually bad here and being a subversive twat disparaging your neighbors and culture is much easier than putting your money where your mouth is.

i wish someone could hate me even a fraction as much as Sup Forums hates jews.

>he unironically feels threatened by PC

what's it like having a vagina, user?

...

Yeah and its still stupid, if the complaint is that no-one represents you and you don't vote you are perpetuating your lack of representation.

>it's the corporations, man
Anybody who thinks you shouldn't vote because the choice doesn't matter should pick up a newspaper and start reading. Trump and Hillary wanted to do different things as president, vote for the one which reflects your interests.

Or you could, you know...Take other forms of political action.

what an awful opinion

not the guy you're responding to, but your problem is that you think people are necessarily stupid enough to believe them.

independent here. i voted for killary, but that was mainly because i get more satisfaction out of pissing off the easily-threatened right than the PC left. i sure as fuck didn't trust her and was planning on voting republican in 2020 if she won.

Bones is Sam Hyde's cousin. It made me like him even more, even though I've been paying attention to both for over 5 years.

No. But then again, not even a single artist I listen to is in any way a conservative. It's not some coincidence or an evil conspiracy that progressivism and art are so tied up.

if you don't like being a lardo you can just lose weight.

>Southeastern VA
Georgia reporting, hello fellow hick.

It's also not a coincidence that 90% of artists and musicians don't speak of politics when virtue signalling the left would get them exposure and media brownie points.

They're not mostly right wing at all, nono. :^]

yeah like being a tripfag on a music board!

>musicians not wanting to inject politics into their public personas must all be right-wing

Trump is a conservative. He wants less regulation, stricter immigration control, looser gun laws, etc. the only place he deviated from the standard conservative platform was his protectionism, of which we haven't seen any yet. Hillary would have done the opposite of what trump is doing so far. It's not hard to figure out who you should vote for, the only way you might have gotten blindsided is if you really water protectionism to try and bolster the steel or coal industries but you probably could have predicted that even if trump tried to introduce that congress wouldn't have liked it.

>individualism
>world government

pick one

Jeff Rosenstock is super fucking annoying on twitter
