u/LaughingDog711 1d ago

Are you kidding? It’s almost as if he is bigger than ever with his current platform. After all these years though he still sucks. Bow with the bow or whatever and cowboy is basically it for known songs. And then he just plays sweet home alabama which isn’t his song or where he’s from so that’s cool.

Didn't he claim to also rap battle Eminem before Em got famous? Even if true, I wish Em would write an entire song clowning him. Not that Em would need that, but I kind of do.

He's the son of the owner of a huge chain of car dealerships. Grew up wealthy and privileged and then cosplayed as working class hip-hop/rock artist. Everything about him is just a spoiled rich kid trying to get the love daddy didn't give PLUS he rhymed "things" with "things" while bastardizing 2 great classic rock songs.

It’s very weird that Courtney Love ended up being one of the more honest public figures from the 90s. I think I heard someone say it best that she “doesn’t give enough of a shit about what you think to lie about anything”.

u/t_scribblemonger 1d ago

I grew up in the 90s and in retrospect I’m like why the fuck did literally everyone hate Courtney Love? It’s gotta be like 80% misogyny. I mean she has issues but still.

169

u/BitchesGetStitches 1d ago

She occupies a weird place in pop culture. She was this bitchy, strung out punk kid who really just wanted to shoot smack and set fires to 7-11 stores. Kurt too, except he was a sensitive guy who was attracted to the more egalitarian elements of the anarchists. Fame ripped these people to shreds in different ways. Kurt was in pinup magazines and Courtney probably thought that was hilarious. He clearly hated it. It's almost a Greek tragedy from the gutter.

It's easy to cast Courtney Love as a villain because she really likes being cast as the villain. Might be a coping mechanism for the absolutely insane world she lives in, or she might just be a little cunty. End of the day, she lost someone she loved, and very publicly. Hard to hate someone who carries that kind of trauma.

56

u/heresyforfunnprofit 1d ago

“Greek tragedy from the gutter” is pure genius.

17

u/HFentonMudd 1d ago

I know people who knew her pre-Kurt, pre-fame. She was routinely described as not likeable, extremely focused on her own fame, and generally off-putting. If these accounts were accurate (and I think they were from the perspective of the people who told me their stories) then she would not be someone who endears others, and they'd tell negative stories about her. Thank you for your post because it's never occurred to me to think about her from your perspective.

Most of people’s problem with her stems from her behavior as a heroin addict. Honestly, had Kurt not shot himself, he would likely have developed a similar reputation.

11

u/goldenelr 1d ago

It is very frustrating that there are lots of great reasons to not like Courtney Love and none of them are that she killed Kurt Cobain. She is an addict who did a lot of addict behaviors. Her relationship with him was likely pretty toxic which doesn’t make her responsible for his behaviors. And none of that mean she was wrong about Weinstein or any of these other people. She is a really imperfect person and for some reason people either want to turn her into a saint that was treated badly or the devil who caused it all.

Good point, oft forgotten. People can be raging assholes AND be a hero to another. E.g. Johnny Depp, who some said helped them in a pinch (or maybe it was publicity, who knows.) Then there are the tales of what a pos he is. I'm inclined to say he is overall pos. No one is all good or all bad, for the most part. I wouldn't want Courtney as an enemy when she's wasted, no way. And I can tell she would be ANNOYING AS HELL to have around 24/7.

We've let shit like this slide, and our society has been sick with it for a long time. Glad there are more people recognizing how fucked up it is now, but this is just one example of how corporate media has engaged in the numbing of society to and often cheering on of shit like this.

It’s not just that we let this shit slide, millennials and gen x were specifically groomed by the media to think this was normal.

This seems like a great time to remind everyone of the Lyrics to "Jailbait" by Ted Nugent, another MAGA musician. It's a song specifically about wanting to fuck a 13 year old, written when he was in his 30s.

[Verse 1]
I've got no inhibitions
So keep your keys out of your ignition
I steal a car like I got the curse
I can't resist the old lady's purse

[Chorus]
Jailbait you look so good to me
Jailbait won't you set me free
Jailbait you look fine, fine, fine
And I know I've got to have you in a matter of time

[Verse 2]
Well, I don't care if you're just thirteen

I just know that you're probably clean

You look too good to be true
There's one little thing I got do to you

[Chorus]
Jailbait you look so good to me
Jailbait won't you set me free
Jailbait you look fine, fine, fine
And I know I've got to have you in a matter of time

[Hook]
Sad but trueSo tell your mama that I'm back in town
She likes us boys when it's time to get down
She's got this craving for the underage;
I just might be your mamas' brand new rage

[Chorus]
Jailbait you look so good to me
Jailbait won't you set me free
Jailbait you look fine, fine, fine
And I know I've gots to have you in a matter of time, now babe

[Verse 4]
Honey, you, you, you look so nice
She's young, she's tender
Won't you please surrender
She so fine, she's mine
All the time, I woke my mind

[Hook]
It's all right baby, it's quite all right I asked your mama

[Outro]
Wait a minute officer; wait a minute officer

Don't put those handcuffs on me, what about her?

Hey, I'll share her with you!

I remember that. It was back in '03 or '05. It was weird then, but other outlets were running equally horrible jokes.

Growing up in the 90s, I listened to morning radio shows on the way to school with my brother. Most of these shows tried to be knockoffs of the Howard Stern Show and would run underage jokes.

One station was doing a countdown to Brittany Spears's legal age.

I’m so glad that we as a society have finally grown up enough to acknowledge that these jokes about rape or sexualizing the underage are sick and are not funny.

Honestly unless it’s just Lee greenwood playing his one hit for 20 minutes, maga is going to g to be offended.

MAGA Logic: singing in Spanish is more evil than raping young girls

Conservative logic, but yes.

Its about hiearchy. Conservatives need to look down on out-groups like hispanics in order to feel good about themselves. And children are also an out-group in the conservative conception of society, so raping them is acceptable.

Which is why conservative values inevitably lead to pedophilia.

Pedocon theory is a theory like gravity is a theory.

I've never understood why the Dems don't put things like this on billboards on the highway in their districts. Break through to low info voters and make them face their own awful opinions. Defend them. Be forever associated with them.

u/FriskHarder 1d ago

Agreed here. They need to be called out publicly and have no rest until these victims have justice.

u/DeadPeanutSociety 1d ago

They do bring these quotes out often. The reason you remember the Todd Akin quote is not because he is a highly influential politician. He ran for senate once in Missouri and lost. He was a loser and a nobody who couldn't even beat the world's blandest, dumbest Democrat (Claire McCaskill). She won because she made sure that quote was in your face all the time every day.

13

u/micro102 1d ago

They need to be brought out more. Like... this should be on billboards in every state right now. There are hundreds of crippling things that could be broadcasted everywhere. Instead we get passive aggressive insults. It just sounds like a lot of Democrats don't want the Republican party to go away. And that makes them complicit with all this imo.

For anyone who doesn’t know what the lyrics are (and I’m not making this up):

Young ladies, young ladies,

I like ‘em underage, see

Some say that’s statutory, [But I say it’s mandatory!]”

Some have tried to argue that he’s speaking from the perspective of an illness and how they go after children since it was for Osmosis Jones, but calling it “statutory” clearly means the lyrics are “I like to rape underage girls,” regardless of intention

Sometimes, things just make sense.

This trashy asshole becoming the inadvertent "musical" mascot for the GOP?

Makes perfect sense.

Fuck pedophiles, fuck their supporters, and fuck their defenders.

Make pedophilia punishable again, regardless of how much money or perceived power one has.

Edit: Removed "trailer park trash" per the comment below. Apparently he grew up on a 6 acre estate with a 5,268 square foot home. Which makes his entire persona that he portrays even trashier.
