So no decent human being can make interesting music?

I dunno I feel like those circles should touch, but just barely.

Also Kid Rock’s amoeba shouldn’t even be getting close to the middle where those circles would come together, come on

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

According to this, it hasn't been possible since Kid Rock began his career.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

OG Kid Rock songs were "Damn, its cool to be a rock star. I love drinking and fucking and singing and having fun. Yehaw."

Modern Kid Rock songs are "Damn, I'm making the laughing-crying emoji face right now, because I can't stop winning but I'm still miserable. Jesus Jesus Jesus."

Dude is the textbook case for why more successful artists keep politics out of their music.

Hmm, people who make interesting music can't be good human beings hmmm

Meanwhile, Weird Al is in the intersection of all three circles.

[–] bitcrafter@programming.dev 12 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Not to be confused with Weird AI, which is in the intersection of none of the circles.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 21 hours ago

Redundant: all A"I" is currently weird.

[–] Humanius@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I knew Weird Al wasn't real! He's like Santa Claus, or the Easter Bunny

I mean, aren't basically all of his songs parodies? So he's not directly creating good music from scratch, since he's not writing most of the music.

Not to say he's unskilled or bad. He's amazing at what he does, and a skilled musician for sure. Though he is directly picking songs that are already popular most of the time instead of creating bangers whole-cloth. (I'm sure he could if he wanted to, of course)

He started out heavy into the parodies, but every album has some originals and they're often the best of his work. Dare To Be Stupid, Stuck in a Closet With Vanna White, and Virus Alert all slap. Used to have Albuquerque on a mixed tape I listened to for road trips, and I almost sort got the whole song memorized.

"IT'S GOOD FOR YOU!!"

I love that the "circle" for kid rock looks like his hand got caught in a hydraulic press.

I got 2 hands and I can probably get by with 1, might as well try it at least once, for science.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I remember when someone asked me if I liked kid rock for the first time. I was confused and said no. I prefer heavy metal.

I still do. fuck kid rock 🤘

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

You ever think about the fact that if we put our minds together and made funny clips of excited baby goats set to actually good classic rock go viral as a meme we could essentially disappear Kid Rock from search engines?

We could call the meme Kid Rock 2 and whenever anyone brings up Kid Rock 1 just mercilessly shit on it and say Kid Rock 2 is far better and Kid Rock 1 isn't worth watching.

[–] kadu@scribe.disroot.org 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I don't know what kid rock is, what's a well known example?

[–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Don't listen to what the other commenters say, it's this:

He's a MAGA musician. This is about a person, not a genre even if it sounds like it could be a genre.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He’s the guy that got angry that Bud Light worked with a trans person so he took a fucking automatic weapon and shot a bunch of their beer on his property and posted the video like it was some great patriotic act

He’s also done other, much more foolish and harmful shit.

Basically he’s the biggest, lamest manchild you can imagine. Like, he’s everything that’s wrong and dangerous about America, focused into one singular idiot.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Let's not forget that he's rich as fuck, but cosplays as a redneck.

[–] erusuoyera@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

As a genre, its full name is Kid (dy fiddler) Rock.

Jesus, it's like a parody song but it's serious.

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

reminds me of Empty bottle 3.0

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not to be confused with Kick Rod, who helps your bicycle stand up.

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

Dekkar is right in the middle.

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

let's just stick to the films.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Don't cross me. All Mark what happens when you cross me!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I'm hurt that your image posits one can't be a good person and make interesting music. For the record my music can be both good to listen to and interesting to watch and I am occasionally a good person. I am not to be compared in the same breath as Bobby Ritchie.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

All of AC/DC’s songs sound like all of their other songs and that is ok. Kid Rocks songs sound like everyone else’s songs and that’s not ok.
