Why doesn't /mu/ like Lynyrd Skynyrd?
Because I'm not 12
FREE BIRD!!!
Someone had to say it.
Because they're racist
>>65482582
> caring about an artist's political views
> getting asshurt when they don't match yours
how's your women's studies degree going
>>65483498
ah yes, I'm sure you don't make daily posts about tumblr and le sjws ruining music
>>65483506
> if you can look past an artist's political views and separate the work from the artist, you must be /pol/
why is /mu/ so cancerous
>>65483506
>projecting this much
>>65483535
how is this projection?
>>65483532
and who said anything about /pol/?
>>65482525
this
>>65483506
>just use an ad-hominem
Look if you're going to attack someone argument, use some sort of response.
>>65483595
>how's your women's studies degree going
not seeing the argument there pal
>>65483608
>> caring about an artist's political views

Did you miss the first two lines of response or can't you read green?

>>65483632
lol you're on a website full of disenfranchised children who rationalize their being outcast by taking the exact opposite opinion of civilized society on every issue
t. projecting or something
>>65483642
that's not an argument
>>65483653
to be fair, 4chan was very left wing before it became "cool." it was pre-obama though
>>65483506
>>65483663
I'll take the bait, I think he was saying, "why should you care about the artist political views, there's no reason to be mad about it"
>>65483736
that is what he's saying. it's not an argument, though
>>65483716
literally nothing wrong with this besides the "problematic sexist assholes" part
>>65483498
nah man like, these opinions need to have social repercussions. Those repercussions are that no one wants to be your friend and no one wants to buy your music. perfectly valid
>>65483506
>Mfw this triggered 4 /pol/cucks to respond to you
>>65483792
found the sjw lmao. hey everyone check this guy out!!!!
>>65482383
They're ok in small doses. Freebird is actually one of my least fav songs though.
>>65483760
>literally nothing wrong with this besides the "problematic sexist asshole
kys
>>65483971
good job
>>65482383
They're actually pretty good, desu. Sure, Freebird is an overplayed cultural meme, but it's not a bad song. Simple Man and Cutris Loew are both solid ballads.
Hell, Sweet Home Alabama isn't a bad song. As a giant "Fuck You!" to Neil Young, it makes me smile.
>>65483716
>>>r/KIA
>>65483716
The fact that somebody took their time to make is hilarious
>>65484007
Hey look, it's another person who has no fucking idea on the true story behind the song.
Ronnie Van Zant and Neil Young were great friends, Neil made a protest song against the racism in Alabama and Ronnie decided to reply to him with what was supposed to be a comedic celebration song. It wasn't his fault the song was later overplayed by conservative /pol/ faggots.
Also, Neil originally composed Powderfinger for Skynyrd, but then there was the plane crash. And legend says he helped carry Ronnie's coffin at the funeral. You can also hear him play Sweet Home Alabama in a bootleg some days later.

Get your history right.
>>65484214
The fuck are you talking about? Neither Van Zant nor Young have ever said that. Neil Young specifically said that he was too generalized in his criticism of the south and that he deserved Van Zant shooting back at him.
>>65483716
>>65484296
Read around, anon. They both were interviewed on the topic, and there's a lot of stories about it.
Because if i wanted to listen to a bigoted artist, I would listen to Burzum
Redneck Whitetrash Donald Supporters.
No thank you, I don't want to be associated with a bunch of hypocritical bigots.
>>65484296
Yeah, no. This guy's right. And in addition to that, Sweet Home is also an anti-bigotry song. It's more about celebrating the good things in the south to say 'we're not all like that's
>In Birmingham, they love the governor (boo boo boo)
any djs /mu/ likes?
>>65484314
Goddamn, whoever made that parody is so fucking cringe. Its just a reversal of >>65483716 and it brings nothing new. Instead of calling out all of /pol/'s flaw, the artist decides that mimicking actually proves a point but instead fails short of its own hypocrisy.
Also
>that AB tattoo
Does the artist even know anything about AB? Since when /pol/ related themselves to a prison gang, you're better to put some neo-nazi punk band like Skrewdriver than than.
>>65484685
I bet you unironically call other people triggered

So you admit you use what music you listen to in order to cultivate a public image, nice to know.
>>65484948
They package their image with their music, it's obviously what they want people to get out of it.
>>65485093
That doesn't affect the actual quality of the music though.
And you know what's funny? It's something which has been retroactively packaged with their image anyways. Or if not tell me where it is on this album cover.
Or this one
They're obviously redneck, conservative, southern stereotype music but I can't deny how infectiously catchy some of their songs are and the sheer songwriting abilities. While Free Bird is an overplayed meme, the solo in it is truly amazing. SHA is also pretty good.
>>65485202
Or this one
>>65485183
Bit of a false dichotomy to think an image can only be expressed through album artwork.
Regardless, that particular artwork may not mean anything bigoted, but it obviously expresses something else, which feeds the overall point that many artists want you to experience more than simply their audio recordings.
>>65485323
I'm saying image shouldn't affect your enjoyment of a work of art at all. If the music sounds good the music sounds good. That's all that should matter.
>>65485365
Why should that be the case?
>>65485379
Because the image doesn't affect the quality of a piece of music, at least it doesn't for me.
Tell me why it shouldn't be. From my side of the coin you're just being superficial.
>>65485447
I'm not the first guy you replied to. I'm just saying it's weird to claim that the music is the only thing that should matter to everyone, when even many artists themselves feel otherwise.
>>65483535

No him, but you gotta watch were you're throwing those.

Not him too but why? You're going to throw your gender studies text book as a form of attack?
Can someone give me a good explanation of how Lynyrd Skynyrd is racist?
>>65485817
They are from the South and flies the confederate flags.
>inb4 muh heritage
Fuck off back to >>>/pol/ bigot
i've seen skynyrd twice in north carolina. not the kind of music i generally listen to, but holy shit it is amazing to watch rednecks get hammered and wyle out. audience members treated the show like a religious experience.
>>65485868
>audience members treated the show like a religious experience
How often do you go to concerts or festivals? Better yet, how often do you leave your house?
>>65485851
I guess Tom Petty's racist too.
>>65485851
>waving a piece of cloth
>racist
pick one
>muh civil war wasn't about slavery!!!
>the word "slave" mentioned like 30 times in their "constitution. didn't allow any states to abolish slavery
That Smell is a fantastic song.
>>65486034
The 'piece of cloth' has meaning in it. Are you saying that I flip my finger off to a cop means I'm saying hello?
Well I guess I'll just leave this here.

The classic lineup sure loved their home, but they were pretty much southern hippies, not racist at all. And the modern version of the band look like a bunch of douchebags, but the guys are actually alright.
>>65485906
i make at least one show a month. big difference between 20 something hippies/alt-kids and aging rednecks decked out in confederate imagery though.
>>65482383
Because they play up the "DUDE SOUTH LMAO" factor so much that it becomes obnoxious and gimmicky.
t. a southerner
Is Keith Richard a racist?
>>65486577
No but Charlie Watts on the right looks like he's plotting something.
Because they are racist and /mu/ is brimming with cucked faggots.
because they're a dollar general version of 1970-1971 allman bros
IT AIN'T ME
