I definitely went through a period where I liked some of that music, but I can’t stand to listen to any of it now. Probably the fastest 180 I’ve ever had towards an entire genre of music.
I did not know that, but I feel relieved to have critiqued their music years ago when someone played it. Felt like they would be open to right wing, rightist popular, national focused content with some sprinkles of misogyny.
I’m so guilty of not understanding or hearing lyrics and just making up my own lol so I never even picked up on the content and just liked hearing this band at a festival.
The Jordan Peterson stuff was a bit of a wake up call.
Fascist banjoists are fucking weird to me. There’s a complicated, racist history to this black instrument that it’s a shock someone can harbor such attitudes.
Like you knew Mumford and Sons were British but dressing up not to disappoint you until you were old enough to know by which someone in school had already ruined it or you’d found the presents Mudford and sons had hidden in their bedroom for Christmas day?
I mean I always knew they weren’t actually from the American countryside and it was just a costume. I always knew it was, but I did have the illusion ruined by someone else in school tho
Fun fact - the producer of the new Depeche Mode album said this in an interview a couple of months ago:
“Well, the one I wish I’d never done was that fucking Mumford record [2015’s ‘Wilder Mind’]! […] “I don’t know why I did that. It paid for my house but it’s the record I regret doing.”
Now im unironically curious. Could you. Or someone else link some of the music you all are talking about ? Because I have no idea what it would sound like.

I used to like a couple of Mumford and Sons songs till they masked off as fash and invited Jordan Peterson to their studio.

I used to like Mumford and Sons songs until I found out they were British. Was like finding out Santa isn’t real.

That must have been particularly traumatic
im sorry that happened 
Mate, I’m still trying to process learning Creedence Clearwater were from C*lifornia
Northern Cali has plenty of legitimate hick spots, forgivable
No it doesn’t:
“Born on the Bayou”, “Cotton fields”, “Green River”, etc. All those songs cosplaying as southerners for what???
They sound great but why the fuck would you pretend to be from 2000 km away
Okay true
