It's just so weird that there's people that like him and his music. It's really hard to imagine but they genuinely exist. And you wonder how that's even possible and you want to meet one to study them, try get an understanding, just general curiosity. Is it a mental thing? A social one? Trauma? What's happening in their brain where they hear the music and think, "This is really good. It is a favourite thing. In no way is this person a walking meme. They are very cool. I will pay money for this."

He's had about 3 good songs and they were all on one album from 1999, so I imagine his concerts got visits from folks wearing nostalgia goggles, same as Vanilla Ice or Marcy Playground.

Now that he's in the news more for being MAGA, folks who were all "oh boy bawitdaba!" when thinking about him are getting that overwritten with "wasn't he the dude doing shirtless workouts with the brain damaged antivax dude?", and thus, ticket sales fall apart.

HEY! You keep Marcy Playground out of this!

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Oh dang I've angered the entire Marcy Playground fandom.

[–] BruisedMoose@piefed.social 17 points 1 day ago

Okay. That's a perfect reply.

And me lol. Marcy playground is grossly underrated. Their first two albums are really good.

[–] Shindo66@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I love Marcy Playground, its not just nostalgia to me

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I recall Bawitdaba, which was part of Big Shiny Tunes 4 and got played absolutely everywhere just as I was starting out in highschool.

That is literally the only song I know from him.

Oh, also he had a cameo appearance on the Simpsons.

[–] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

He also has that shitty one that samples Werewolves of London.

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

All of his “ok music” was when he was almost outlaw country but outlaw rock.

Then we all discovered who he actually was

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yep, cowboy was probably his best and I can't even listen to it anymore because of how much a magat he is now.

What a rebel, he "can smell a pig a mile away"... so that he can find them, arm them with the military's hand-me-downs and remove all their accountability?

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Song was good but yea he's such a magat bootlicker that it's sickening. Thankfully I got Bryan Andrews...
