Current Events > Pathetic country boomer creates the dumbest yee-haw song in a decade

(+) Yeah! (+)

No one said anything about not fathoming why someone would want to do this. But anyway, I feel like we're all due for a reminder that the song isn't about any of this, it's about cities bad, small towns good on the basis of propaganda and fantasy.

No, it's worse than that. The video is literally filmed at a site where an innocent black man was lynched and hanged. The song is basically "if you come here we'll lynch you"

We need to argue the fact that Jason Aldean isn't a Boomer btw...

Also, I drove past his concert on Sunday and one of his dumbass fans, pulled out right in front of us, no blinkers, as we were coming down a hill in pouring rain. We literally had to slam on the breaks. Said the driver then proceeded to drive down the road, halfway in the breakdown lane for a few miles.

All that aside, I balk at calling him a Boomer.
Maybe early on-set Boomer, but not an actual Boomer.

Labeling guys like this as 'Boomer' is a coping mechanism suggesting that this brand of racism / bigotry / xenophobia / hatred / general backwards-ass thinking will magically die out with the older generation.

I support the optimism, completely unfounded though it may be.

Looks like self deleting thinking it wouldn't get seen.

"My tired-ass hypothetical of a loved one getting assaulted makes vigilante justice okay."
"Umm, no, it doesn't. Here's many, many, many reasons why."
"Omg stop using hypotheticals to counter my hypothetical!"

Plus the usual whining about mod bias and CE being bullies for not accepting his tripe into the marketplace of ideas. Nothing you haven't seen dozens of times before.

Ya, it's missed place outrage.

If a Boomer does it fine.
But you lose some momentum in the argument when you use false misinformation.

It is too bad there are just enough dumbasses in the younger ranks though.
~Three steps forward, two steps back I guess.

Its really bizarre how gung-ho you guys are about seeing people you disagree with get in trouble, even if what theyre saying is 100% unworthy of consequence. Do you not realize how unhealthy that sort of culture is? And then when the mods take your side, you celebrate and pretend the person deserved it just because he dared to have an unpopular but inoffensive opinion.

Oops

So true, Xers are worse than boomers on the whole politically.

i grew up in a small town and i promise you liquor stores got robbed there and old ladies got carjacked and the consequences were the same as anywhere else

Not even close. I grew up in a small town where the only murders were bodies hells angels would dump on the side of the highway. Literally no homicides for 25 years. Now that the population has blown up there, there's stabbings, robberies, rapes, and gang violence constantly.

Everyone knows each other in small towns and has a respect for one another. It's undeniably better.

That was different, it was presumed to be white people doing it. Now it's presumed (by people like Em_Jay_Dee, anyway) to not be white people doing it, and that makes it a bona fide crime.

YIKES!!

That's a dog whistle so loud it called Lassie back from the dead.

I grew up in a small town in Louisiana. Population was around 250. Everybody knew everybody. I didn't experience any of that "looking out for each other" he references in this song. People were rude. Generally didn't like other people coming around their properties. Lots of fights, gossip and mistrust. The Baptist paster was a drug addict and was fucking half the women in the choir dispite being married. The town had 2 cops, and they were the most hated men there by far. I recall their houses being vadalized, eggs thrown at their cars, etc. My elementary school principle committed suicide. A fellow classmate in my high school murdered his grandparents. This was over 25 years ago too, so it's not a case of "times have changed." I'm pretty close to Jason Aldean in age.

I live in Chicago now. I get along great with all of my neighbors... everyone in my building and most people on my block. We help each other out all the time. If someone goes out of town we take turns watching their pets, or watering their plants. People are generally friendly... will help you carry things to/from your car, hold open doors for you, etc. Everyone back home expected me to be murdered within days of moving here, but I've never felt safer.

It's the courthouse where Aldean made this music video and in 1927 a black teenager was dragged through the streets and then hung from a second story window of that building.

That's some less that creative racist code talk.

These pieces of shit think they own and invented country music so they can make it as confederate as they like.

No, I'm questioning why he responded to that post with a wiki link and picture for a completely different courthouse

Well the post in question was the wrong courthouse (Columbia County, FL, rather than the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee).

Are you seriously proposing that there are no scenarios in which a heinous person got off the hook for their horrible crimes, and then faced the wrath of the victims loved ones?

Now, I know you can't reply on this account, but I thought I'd take a second to tell you that you're moving the goalposts.

You were challenged to name a time when it's acceptable to commit vigilantism instead of letting due process take its course.

You named the assault of a family member. There was never "off the hook" as if due process had failed in your original example. You were specific that you didn't care if a jury could or would convict, and that you would just do it first, anyway, because you "100% knew."

For when/if you come back:
- Don't move goalposts, it's bad debating
- a jury acquittal still does not justify vigilantism

Good lord, you're still feeding the troll even after he's been suspended.

I mean, taking an art form based on the spoken word and making the words unintelligible is certainly a bold choice.

It's not my genre... but I think there's more nuance to what mumble rap is than that. There's a lot of depth and history to rap genres that most people don't give them credit for.

I only have a fraction of an idea after having my hand held through the history of some of it because of NPR's Louder Than a Riot. It's certainly given me a greater appreciation and understanding of the art form even if I don't enjoy listening to it.

But this probably isn't the thread to parse those distinctions.

Crime statistics viewed by county disagrees with you.

Problem with small towns is usually the only way to have fun is getting fucked up.

Ok

he just weaponized small town into an insult against his people

This bullshit about rednecks supporting cops is recent. Where did it come from? Rednecks used to hate cops.

Ever watch The Dukes of Hazzard? That was the normal view of cops from rednecks, not an outlier.
