Texts from Bennett

Tumblrwhite Hack

I'm not getting the sense they're doing it for lols, they probably think their 'get low' sounds really good. I didn't get that they were nec mocking something.

srsly dude

I blame Travis Morrisson for bringing this trend back around for the new generation of indie kids.

Fuck, i'd never seen that Jackson Foote thing before today. Fuck.

yes a bunch of wites condescendingly recording black music in an overtly white style has not much to do w/race - its the entire joke!

yeah that girl sweetly singing "til the sweat runs down my balls" was definitely just exploring the melodic possibilities of the lyric for purely musical reasons

as opposed to th dude who originally sang it

history's been repeating itself every since elvis presley sang "lol u a hound dog shawty"

hi dere entire history of bluegrass, rock and pop
every generation gets the texts from bennett they deserve

the amazing thing about mac lethal is that it took him 10 months to think of 'cook with me now,' weird al would be appalled at that kind of turnaround time

25 years of human history has proven that this shit wont just go away, it needs to be forcefully oblivioned, the reckoning begins today...

in internet time thats like 5 years xp

coops, just cuz your awareness of music doesn't extend past 1950 doesn't make it so
go listen to some butterbeans and susie dogg shhhh mama don't 'llow no easy riders round here

that's what i'm saying, it took him a long time!

and i was agreeing!

totally forks butterbeans and susie dogg, the entire history of bluegrass rock and pop, awesome theory

christ forks my stupid elvis post wasn't saying i think everything STARTED with him, stop being so condescending

25 years of human history proves exactly nothing

hey you go to war w/the info you have

lol, neither of you know who i'm talking to and you're both flexing your pecs to popping

conversely youre embarrassed cause you started this thread

yeah, it really went nowhere huh

lol @ thinking the "autotune the news" shit is offensive in any way other than not being that funny

anyways, good luck working out who's racist and who's not based on their youtube history; i got minorities to oppress

yeah, it really went nowhere huh

sorry im catching up on this thread, did forks really just argue that slavish covers of black records by white bands in an era when black musicians couldnt play in the same clubs as white musicians in some cities is the same thing as white teenagers doing winky these-lyrics-are-so-dumb covers of rap music

haha max that is a little oversimplified there re: the first half of your comparison

y'see, it's all about predefined "roles" that we have placed on everyone in society, and if you step out of that role, then you are probably a racist

like i get where you are going argument wise but uh the motivations for early rock and roll are a little more complicated than you are making them out to be xpost

yeeeeeaaahhhh im not super worried about oversimplifying things in a thread where tumblr whites are being compared to elvis

idk if those are really tumblr whites

well tumblr whites are making a little less money than elvis did i hear so yknow choose your poison i guess

aggh wait why am i on this thread

I don't know what tumblr whites is but it sounds like a dryer setting.

they're more youtube whites I think

Doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?

nope

wait are u really arguing that the intents and motivations of race-record covers in the 1950s are indistinguishable from these siccening internet whites?

*pops pecs in tumblr whites*
