Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

I find this a bit hard to believe. Is Kid Rock aware enough to feel humiliation?

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

"...FUCK OFF!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[–] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 12 points 22 hours ago

Oh, I thought he was humiliated just because he was kid rock.

[–] rosco385@lemmy.wtf 13 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Kid Rock is just Mike Lindell in a cowboy hat.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

kid rock is just some guy whose real name is Robert Ritchie who grew up in a wealthy suburb of Detroit

[–] modus@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

I've never seen them in the same room together.

[–] DioramaOfShit@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Funny thing is I would have never listened to kid rock except my mom bought me one of his cds when I was like 12 because she thought it was rock music for kids.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

It was rock music for kids, Kid Rock even has a song about it.

Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage,” Rock sings on the track. “See some say that’s statutory.” His sidekick at the time, the late Joe-C then chimes in, “But I say it’s mandatory.”

[–] Furbag@pawb.social 28 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Imagine being 55 years old and still insisting people call you "Kid" Rock.

[–] Blubber28@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't you know his name consists of the two things he loves most in life? Rock and kids.

Pretty sure it's a brand name at this point. I can't imagine anyone listens to him for his music.

They basically just use it as a fashion accessory to make other guys think they're masculine

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Huh, I think they're gay as shit. Seems to have the opposite effect.....

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

You mean the guys buying cars to impress other guys might be gay? That is a stretch

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

or being known for only only song.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Was that the one about diddling kids or was that another one? I've never heard that or any other song from him tbh, I just remember that he apparently sang about how he likes kids

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would assume it's the one with the nonsense words they hired him to perform at the alternative half time show because the guy doing the real halftime show wasn't singing in proper English.

This one: https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/57/

You're thinking of this one: https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858686749/

Nobody much paid attention to that one until recently, after all he hadn't been relevant at all for twenty years.

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

He does not have soul like Al Green.

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 207 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Kid Rock's fans are up in arms after

I’m sorry his what now?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 151 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yup. Both of them are PISSED!

My ex wife's mom was a kid rock megafan. She had kid rock tshirts in heavy rotation, had kid rock bumper stickers on her car, and went to concerts as often as possible. She even had limited edition, rhinestone encrusted kid rock shoes. She was one of the dumbest people I've ever encountered and a real piece of shit person.

Several years after divorcing my wife she still texts me asking for money (she's a dirtbag gambling addict) despite fact I've ghosted her. I will never block her, because getting those texts is a sweet reminder that I've escaped my shitty ex's shitty family. Fuck you Linda, you hateful garbagemonster

[–] mech@feddit.org 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I used to be a huge Kid Rock fan.
But in my defense, I knew nothing about him, I was 10 years old, I'm German, and I understood none of the lyrics.
(My biggest dream was one day being able to move to the US. Yeah, that changed, too.)

[–] MostRegularPeople@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Devil Without a Cause was one of my favorite albums when I was in 8th grade. I made my mom listen to it in the car and I still feel kinda bad about it.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I liked him when he came out, but I was literally 12. In my 20's I used to half ironically bust out Bawitaba when I was hanging with the boys as a throwback, and we used to half jokingly have it be our anthem. Then 2016 came and he started fondling Trump's balls daily. We haven't played it since.

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 day ago

I mean he said it in the song "Now get in the pit and try to love someone" - you can't get much deeper in the pit than Trump.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I adore my wife but her family is awful, it’s a tough spot. They’re so toxic

[–] DaniNatrix@leminal.space 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is so tough. My partner's mother is a vicious manipulator and abuser, still tries to put her hands on her grown children. I love him so much and want to do my best to support him but I can't have a relationship with her. She's not permitted at our house because every time we've tried, she starts a toddler tantrum over whatever comes to mind and gets violent.

I worry it weighs heavily on him and I wish I could stomach more interaction with her, I imagine it would make his life easier in some ways. But I've hit my max when it comes to abusive people. I'm a domestic abuse survivor and I simply don't have any more space for folks who behave that way.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

I worry it weighs heavily on him

I'm on the other side of that equation, and while my father being a racist POS weighs a bit on me, inviting him over and dealing with that bullshit fallout would be 50x worse.

ya' doin' fine

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

doing those wierd exercises in the SAUNA with RFK JR ISNT good enough?

[–] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jesus I thought that was a bad dream

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

We're all stuck in this bad dream together, friend.

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 135 points 2 days ago (27 children)

Kid Rock got shown up by fucking Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli. Who thefuck in the past 30 years has ever thought "I wanna hear Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli".

Jesusfuck, 250th year Anniversary of this country and this is the "talent" we have to show for it. Fucking Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli......

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To be fair, we have plenty of talent from 250 years. It's just that most of them don't want to perform for Trump.

Has ANYONE actually heard Milli Vanilli?

[–] TrippyHippy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 12 hours ago

their name is pretty much synonymous with the biggest lip-syncing scandal in pop culture history.

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Unpopular opinion but as a collective artistic project I have no real issue with their music. And in fact, it's quite good. Yeah sure their presentation was dishonest but I'd argue no more than modern auto tuned artists.

[–] Solventbubbles@lemmy.world 64 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I mean, tbf to Milli Vanilli, they dropped out. In fact, their response was something along the lines of "we never signed up for this shit"

[–] Floodedwomb@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Several artists said that they were never even asked.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Milli Vanilli, they dropped out

Hasn't the group only been one guy since the other one died in 1998?

Instead he'll just stay home shooting beers.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'll never get over the conservative boycott over Bud Light by... checks notes.. buying a shit ton of Bud Light and shooting it.

What a smart thought process. I'm going to spend money on the thing I don't want to spend money on and just blow it up instead of just... Not buying it.

Insthed he'l jusht shtay hoem shootin' bears

Now this is a delicious LAMF moment.
