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
Nah, I mean it was shocking for me cuz 1) I thought southern accent was foggerty accent, 2) isn’t it weird that a folk/rock band would play SO many songs from so far away? Like, if California was still redneck country in that time, why don’t sing about California?
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.
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.”
I used to like a couple of Mumford and Sons songs till they masked off as fash and invited Jordan Peterson to their studio.

Lol no fucking way
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
