yeah but if you live there your parents leave you alone at Christmas and two guys attempt to break in and kill you so you have to improvise booby traps

Maybe he did start the fire!

johnny cash is a fucking liar he never shot anyone in reno

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Still one of the most metal lyrics ever.

"I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die"

How much more detached and psychotic can you get? Even with goregrind, the motive is clear, albeit deranged. This is just, fuck it, I just want this person dead just to see them die.

Most rich people are also sociopaths that show little to no empathy for their offspring.

ITT: people who would have thrown away rap albums when they found out the rapper never actually dealt drugs defending a billionaire from a little joke she’ll never see.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I throw away rap albums from the ones that actually are murderers, come at me

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

rap quality scales directly with how hard the lyrics diss violence

gangsters paradise is genuinely one of the best works of art ever made

She sang fondly about that Christmas tree farm, so I guess this new song is just to shit talk about New Jersey.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

So many celebrities and famous people grew up very well off, despite their relatable personas. If I ever get famous, I'll be upfront about not being average or typical. I'm not normal. Not better or worse, just not like most people.

I mean, asylums aren't known to be horrible because of the quality of the architecture, but how people treat other people in there.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 53 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I mean her parents would drive to NY for singing and acting lessons, the family relocated to Nashville to enable her carrer, paid for private school, beautiful homes... by all accounts her family provided a strong foundation for her to launch.

She's been supported throughout her life, calling the way she was raised an "asylum" is kind of insulting to people that grew up wondering if there would be food on the table or if Dad was coming home angry again. Not to minimize her struggles but I'm willing to bet most people could actually last an hour

When people write songs are the lyrics always supposed to be literally true? There's some interesting stuff happening out there if so...

Can't believe Johnny Cash actually shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

I mean that sounds like it could be a story about super supportive parents, or it sounds like it could be a story about super psycho pageant mom type parents.

Even if it's the former and they were genuinely supporting her dream and not their own, it still doesn't mean it wasnt manic or stressful or crazy.

Or it could just be a made up fictional lyric, or one meant to reference her own internal psychological struggles with the asylum she's trapped in being her own mind.

This meme quite frankly just seems like people who don't understand music trying and failing to clown on the popular girl.

Can some ELI5 Taylor Swift drama? I haven't listener to her since middle school, and my sister's keep trying to tell me what's up but I have no context.

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 40 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

The conservatives don't like her because she's popular and she is pro LGBTQ+

[–] Womdat10@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That, and many liberals don't like her bc she is extremely fucking rich, and grew up as such.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

And she doesn't say a peep when her zombie army of deranged cultists send death threats to people who review her albums in a negative manner.

She's an opportunistic cunt.

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Liberals care about that?

I thought hating the rich was a left thing?

As a leftist myself, I'm not a fan of TSwift, but I think there's much bigger and much worse targets to meme about. So I think all these TSwift posts are conservatives or bots.

And she tells her fans to go vote. Republicans really don't like high voter turnout.

i think im starting to understand why some people don't really like this album.

though to be fair, i don't listen to music to read a story. So.
