Its kinda funny how I used to see bands that had really good music and shit politics, because the political views were trendy but the music scene was very open and diverse.

Now I see musicians that suck absolute dog turds somehow squeezing themselves up and out the ass of the Billboard 100, because some douche noozle billionaire bought a million copies of their album sound unheard just to get them trending on Spotify.

Whether its "Rich men north of Richmond" or Whatever the Fuck This Is these attempts at music are comically bad. At this point, I would happily trade whatever leftist-ish club music we occasionally get as trickle down for some modern day Morrissey.

"Rich men" was a catchy tune though. You just don't like the genre or perhaps what the lyrics say

“Rich men” was a catchy tune though

It had a catchy beat. But the lyrics were a muddled mess. Guy can't figure out if he's doing ABAB, AABB, ABCB, his stanzas are an absolute trainwreck and there's some ackward repetition.

And the production? Some of the worst acoustics possible.

You just don’t like the genre

The genre of folk/country or the genre of whiny acoustic beatnik? Garth Brooks this guy ain't and I don't see him landing a spot in the Charlie Daniels band with that low energy strum.

Yeah i dunno bud, I ain't a musician but I like what i heard. Least he sounded real, Garth is pretty phony sometimes.

Least he sounded rea

He sounded like he was playing a guitar in the woods. 90% of Bandcamp has better production value.

Did pretty fucking good for a guy playing in a clearing in the woods.

Go to any bar with an open mic and you'll find a guy just as good.

His success was entirely due to marketing. As soon as that dried up, people forgot he existed.

Guy just released an album 2 weeks ago and it's currently 42 on the billboard charts, 97 on the UK charts
