An ultra-conservative Tik Tok country hit meets one of the most explicitly lefty rap-metal bands of all time. It’s genre-clash AND culture clash!
It’s not often I make an explicitly political mashup, but this mashup is 100% about modern American conservatism.
TikTok popularises songs like this by using them ironically to make fun of them, but it ends up just getting that track a bigger audience.
It’s about how so many RATM fans are conservatives and choose to be willingly ignorant of the band’s clear political viewpoints.
It’s about how the American right will distort pop songs and pop culture to their own needs, picking and choosing only the elements that support their views.
It’s about how Republicans will act like their harmless, down-home, simple folk while simultaneously spewing hate and damning people to hell.
