Because it is so much easier to do PR when you don't have to cater to boring things like facts, but instead the lowest common denominator of very stupid people.
How the fuck is Kid fucking Rock still relevant in any way? I thought he would have just disappeared into obscurity after the 90s ended. Do some people actually still give this guy their money for some reason?
Edit: How the hell does the "ba with the ba with the bang da bang diggy diggy - diggy said the boogie said up drop the boogie" guy have eleven studio albums? And who the hell are the 5.3M monthly listeners on Spotify? This blows my mind!
The only one I know (and this is 20 year old info, so it may not even still be accurate), in China it's 12. And women don't even have the right to say no to sex.
I thought it was insane. Then years later I learned it's because China at the time had a 1 child only rule. And every family wanted a boy. So much so that if they had a girl, they'd abandon it in the street, claim there never was a girl, and just abandon her. Then keep going until they got a boy.
So my takeaway is that in China, they really have zero respect for the existence of women.
This is wild and deserves a down vote. A 60 second look on Google would show everything you've said about women's rights is wrong. It's 14, in China it appears it's never been 12.and there are many laws covering women's right to consent.
p.s. I'm not a tankie BTW or whatever the phrase is, I have equal distain for all governments, including my own
He probably has blackmail on some producer. They probably have the same blackmail on him. They've probably been to the same Epstein parties and if not Epstein, someone else's parties.
They would probably like communism, or at least not object to it too much. Communalism has a lot of opinions on how people need to conform, and they seem very keen on people conforming. The only real difference between the GOP and communism is that they disagree with where all the money should go. But if you have to pick a regime to live under, it's basically a coin flip.
They both take from the poor, it's just who gets the money that's different, which would make virtually no difference to 99% of people.
This kills me every goddamn time. It's absolutely neighborhood "friend" (choices limited by proximity) threatening to "Goldberg" you if you don't let him "see your bike for a minute" but you don't let him because he treated his own bike like shit to the point that it's wobbly, bent, neglected garbage. He might be a bully if he were physically capable, but he's not, so he just hurls insults and most people feel like it'd be unfair to kick his ass for it.
And his mom is weirdly way too into Elvis Presley and makes him wear arm floaties in the pool.
A persons inability to differentiate between slightly progressive policies and communism, is a gigantic blood red flag indicating that they are a trash person and not worth talking to.
The most fair but unfavourable (according to them) interpretation of his policies would be socialist, to be a communist he would have to have been a dictator who seized power with force rather than democratically elected. But honestly it's debatable about whether or not the policies he is proposing go far enough to really be in the realm of socialist. It's basically just left wing progressive.
If it weren't for the fact that he was American no one would be batting an eye. Come to Europe and say those things and everyone would be "well yeah, obviously".
The one thing that communism and dictatorship have in common is that the one pretty much requires a revolution and the other often appears after a revolution.
They have similar origin stories.
The problem with revolutions is that revolutions need a strong man to rally around who can quickly make decisions without compromise and who is in close to complete power. A democratic revolution would not happen, since it's not fast and decisive enough. But when the revolution is done and that same strongman is still in power, and he gets to decide how the new government is run, only very few of them are capable of handing the power over to a democratic government. And if you run a government like a revolution we tend to call that dictatorship.
Communism is revolutionary, Socialism can be reformative.
In the context of the United States, Democratic Socialism is perfectly compatible with the constitution and the ideals of freedom and democracy; Communism, on the other hand, requires overthrowing the existing institutions which make it incompatible.
Most historical "Communist" movements are vanguardist, and vanguardism doesn't end well, they end up being authoritarian.
I wouldn't call it a coincidence that western capitalist states, especially the US, would do some pretty heavy lifting to convince all of their people that any actually existing socialist state is, or would invariably become, a dictatorship and horrible to live under. Socialism and capitalism are fundamentally opposed to one another; pretty much every aspect of US governance and recognized media is fully controlled by, rabidly anti-communist, capitalists. They made absolutely sure of that in the red scare when they literally purged people from any position of influence simply for having any affinity for communism.
If Mamdani is a communist, he's clearly the least ambitious communist that I've ever heard of. What he's asking for is just basic services of a city to work and be affordable.
Remember when kid rock wrote a song for a children's cartoon and found it absolutely necessary to write a line about how much he loves raping little girls?
I am lucky enough to have never heard a song by this waste of oxygen. In fact if it wasn't for Lemmy or reddit I don't think I'd have ever heard of him. So, and I apologise for this, I didn't believe you when I read your comment. I quickly did some investigation and, well.... https://wrkr.com/kid-rock-sang-underage-song-kids-movie-soundtrack-osmosis-jones/
Jesus Christ!! No wonder the orange kiddie fiddler likes this guy. Paedos of a feather rape together.
"Young ladies, young ladies / I like 'em underage, see / Some say that's statutory," Rock says, before Joe C. chimes in with "But I say it's mandatory."
Living in LA, I sometimes wonder who exactly is voting for all these right wing politicians. Everybody I actually meet in real life ranges from far left to moderate. Are they all hiding in the hills?
If you saw me in person you'd think I look like a cop. In other states, other white men casually say all sorts of fucked up stuff to me, assuming I'm on their side. None of that here.
Americans elected a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist that used a bunch of redneck cousin fuckers to violently attempt an insurrection when he lost an election.
Average Americans aren't known for being intelligent.
Kid Rock ruined the re-watch factor of "Joe Dirt" for me. The only music related stuff I've ever seen/heard from him is a cameo in that Nickleback "I Wanna Be A Rockstar" music video. At least I think that was him. Oh no! What are we going to do?! Anyway...
Kid Rock doesn’t know what a communist is, let alone a democratic socialist, but I’m pretty sure New Yorkers know what a MAGA shit-eater is and are 💯% okay with him not coming to NYC for an entire year.
The real news is that he thought he had enough fans in NY to even do a show here. I don’t think 15 Long Island moms wearing snake skin and drunk off buzzballs is a fan base.
It's amazing how he started out in numetal and now dresses, acts like he contributed to music as much as someone like Bowie, Cash, CCR, etc when in reality he's in the same exact category as Fred Durst.
(kind of) Sorry to talk shit on numetal, just because I am old now.
Assuming there are people in NY that would actually want to go to one of his shows, I would imagine the prospect of actual important parts of their lives getting better would outweigh the desire to watch Kid Rock sing the songs you can already hear on Spotify live.
Wait, he calls what he does singing? it's more like a recitation of a top 40 song from at best a dozen years ago, why are we left with kid rock and no Chris Cornell?
Let's see if Rage Against the Machine could do a reunion concert in NYC on whatever date that was. That might be one of the only chances we'd have of getting them back together.
Do you think he had to refund a few tickets? I don't think it could have been too many, seeing as New York has a relatively progressive population, which probably means there were just a few people who wanted to go and actually spent the money to obtain access to the show.
Imagine being one of the handful who planned to go to the concert! What happens now!? Cancellations? Refunds!? What an absolute mess, though I doubt it's likely to apply to very many people in the New York City metro area.
I love news outlets that go back and edit any statements they made which were determined to be false after publishing. Even better when they put them in a red box like that
For the reds, Mamdani is all the redscare, islamophobe and racist things they've been told to hate. For the blues, he's some sort of saviour and proof that democracy in America can actually work as intended, and isn't just something between entertainment and PR. You need a protagonist and an antagonist to build a narrative, after all. But the system never worked in your favour and nobody in power has any morals or virtue (else they'd just get taken out, lol, you think the CIA is above that?). And the population either doesn't care or doesn't notice because they themselves are iffy, their cultural baggage came with everything but belief in objective morality and virtuous duty to the rest of humanity. The "all that matters is the bag and my pleasure; death, rape and pillaging is acceptable if I get what I want" (how do you think the country was created? How do you think they gained and maintain their wealth?! It doesn't matter if you say you're A when all you do is B, stop lying to yourselves, please) culture will never breed respectable people in enough quantities, if they happen to exist there its by accident, and none will reach a position of power.
They tried dark skin with Obama but they can't do that again, then they tried white female but she was an obvious see you next Tuesday, so they tried pushing AOC cause she's a bit more personable and attractive while being brown but she's not that popular either so now they're going with brown "Muslim" man, that's all.
When it comes to fighting the plebs, they're one party. They alternate power by necessity but it'll stay within one or another group and neither will actually change the status quo. And stop being silly and Russophobic, lol, I'm just some random Muslim brown man online. Knowing that, don't you think I'd love to feel like I'm wrong about this? 😔
Mamdani is making the city better already.
Mamdani. I wouldn't be picky but Cuomo made it a deliberate act of disrespect to get his name wrong.
Fuck coumo
Coomoe
Fixed. Thank you.
He can be my mam or my man anytime 🥰💖
And think of the knock on effects. If this motivates even just one kid rock fan to leave…
Thank you for your service Kid Rock 🫡
I wonder if any other candidates for office will run on this as a platform.
"Vote for me, Kid Rock will stay away."
You sonuva bitch. I’m in.
Why not grassroots? Let’s start the movement!
Guessing the real story is that the show didn't sell enough tickets to be profitable.
Had to be, otherwise it’d be a “we’re not backin’ down for no commies!” news release.
Damn, anyone catering to right wing has it really easy when it comes to PR these days
Because it is so much easier to do PR when you don't have to cater to boring things like facts, but instead the lowest common denominator of very stupid people.
That's especially true when your target demographic don't seem to have morals

His listeners are the kind of people who know the age of consent in every state.
https://genius.com/Kid-rock-cool-daddy-cool-lyrics
What the fucking hell.
I liked the part where they used this song in Osmosis Jones (not the rape part but still)
No wonder the pedos love this guy--he's writing their anthems
His listeners are the kind of people who smoke newports through a hole in their neck.

Wtf does this have to do with kid rock
Sounds fake
Wouldn't know what else people are supposed to play while banging their cousin in their pick-up truck.
Uhh

Calling Kid Rock a talentless hack is needlessly insulting to talentless hacks everywhere. Just saying.
I don’t know Kid Rock songs at all but it made me think of this absolute classic: https://youtu.be/MyMta4RIrlg
https://youtu.be/MyMta4RIrlg#t=4m20s timestamp for the short attention spanned but you should listen to the whole thing.
Presumably some of the people who consider Trump to be presidential material also consider his music to be good.
He probably has blackmail on some producer. They probably have the same blackmail on him. They've probably been to the same Epstein parties and if not Epstein, someone else's parties.
He's a child rapist, and conservatives fucking LOVE child rapists
hes a favorite amongst DRUNK RED NECKS.
Well hello there sailor!
Meth music.
Not all Detroit natives are kid rock fans, but all kid rock fans are Detroit natives.
Funny how the people who suck at identifying communism are the people with a raging hate-boner for it.
They would probably like communism, or at least not object to it too much. Communalism has a lot of opinions on how people need to conform, and they seem very keen on people conforming. The only real difference between the GOP and communism is that they disagree with where all the money should go. But if you have to pick a regime to live under, it's basically a coin flip.
They both take from the poor, it's just who gets the money that's different, which would make virtually no difference to 99% of people.
Kid Rock makes music for people who don't pay their child support
Kid Rock makes music for people who have tattoos of their kids but not custody of them
Kid Rock makes music for people who tattoo their kids
Kid Rock makes music for people that beat their kids
Kid Rock makes music for people that rock kids.
Kid Rock is neither a kid, nor a rock.
Holy fuck.
Kid rock makes music for people that make hotdog soup
from tattoo'd hotdogs.
Acoustics designed to resonate perfectly in a trailer.
Has Kid Rock even made music since 1998? That was the last time I heard new Kid Rock music.
This kills me every goddamn time. It's absolutely neighborhood "friend" (choices limited by proximity) threatening to "Goldberg" you if you don't let him "see your bike for a minute" but you don't let him because he treated his own bike like shit to the point that it's wobbly, bent, neglected garbage.

"Young ladies, young ladies / I like 'em underage, see / Some say that's statutory," Rock says, before Joe C. chimes in with "But I say it's mandatory."
What in fuck’s ever-shitting name?
Correct.
Kid Rock is a self-identifying pedophile. That's the fuck in ever-shitting name. Should be in prison IMO
I want to upvote you for clipping the context and sharing... but also I feel icky upvoting that....
Can we get a socialist mayor in LA?
Living in LA, I sometimes wonder who exactly is voting for all these right wing politicians. Everybody I actually meet in real life ranges from far left to moderate. Are they all hiding in the hills?
If you saw me in person you'd think I look like a cop. In other states, other white men casually say all sorts of fucked up stuff to me, assuming I'm on their side. None of that here.
Its a company town. People who run companies dont tend to vote left.
People who run companies are a tiny minority.
Get outside to the county area. You'll find the wingers.
Grew up in Lancaster/Palmdale, part of LA County, parents are all maga dipshits.

How is it possible to suck as much as kid rock?
Ask Ted Nugent.
Good point. Dude has had an entire career based on 1 song, and won't shut up.
Musical equivalent of Rob Schneider.
I'm sure that all 4 people who were interested in seeing the NYC show are devastated.
They already left…
Mamdani protecting New York from Shit music o7
He sings?
I wouldn’t be that generous.
he mostly disappoints his rich, affluent parents by poorly cosplaying as blue collar.
If there's right wing and/or established American indoctrination to parrot, he sings like a little bird.
Another American who doesn't understand what communism is.
They don't have to understand. Others do their thinking for them.
Man, I am hearing all good things outta NY right now. Mamdani is knocking the shit out! Came in absolutely swinging!
He's not even in office yet and already knocking it out of the park and halfway across the city.
I just hope that trajectory continues.
Average American can't tell the difference between Communism and Democratic Socialism, Exhibit A: ⬆️
Not saying you're wrong, but Kid Rock is far from "average".
Americans elected a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist that used a bunch of redneck cousin fuckers to violently attempt an insurrection when he lost an election.
Average Americans aren't known for being intelligent.
Things just get better and better for NY.
And his lyrics for Osmosis Jones indicate he might be singing for another type of fan
Hahaha
As if he knows what a commie is? Spoiled little rich boy who never grew up because he didn't have to.
Good, stay the fuck out of NY you dirtbag piece of shit
An American saying no to money??
What is the world coming to.
As a New Yorker, I can confirm that I'm extremely
erectdisappointed.Also, shouldn't he be Adult Rock by now?
Why? Never have to grow up with daddy's money.
Should be. Never will.
Kid Rock wouldn't recognize a commie if it kicked him in the head.
who the fuck is kid rock
Pamela Anderson's ex-husband.
A famous spokesman for genital herpes.
I think he is a baby cowboy, or he aspires to be one.
He is the mascot for pop rocks popping candy
Kid Rock ruined the re-watch factor of "Joe Dirt" for me. The only music related stuff I've ever seen/heard from him is a cameo in that Nickleback "I Wanna Be A Rockstar" music video. At least I think that was him. Oh no! What are we going to do?! Anyway...
I won't let him deny me the rewatchability of such a classic. His character is now just extra slimy.
Kid Rock's star has sunk so far below the horizon that this move really only hurts him.
I mean I guess it's less money for meth, so maybe it actually helps him.
I fully support it.
I agree with Kid Rock. How could he have time to sing to anyone but his full schedule of fascist supporters?
In unrelated news, the communist party sees a boost in membership.
New York City should put on an amazing Woodstock style show for that night instead.
I’m sure they could get plenty of bands to come out just to prove a point.
What a major fuck you to all his fans in NYC tho.
Yeah those two will definitely be disappointed.
Kid Rock doesn’t know what a communist is, let alone a democratic socialist, but I’m pretty sure New Yorkers know what a MAGA shit-eater is and are 💯% okay with him not coming to NYC for an entire year.
Damn NYC is going to be a paradise!
The real news is that he thought he had enough fans in NY to even do a show here. I don’t think 15 Long Island moms wearing snake skin and drunk off buzzballs is a fan base.
It's amazing how he started out in numetal and now dresses, acts like he contributed to music as much as someone like Bowie, Cash, CCR, etc when in reality he's in the same exact category as Fred Durst.
(kind of) Sorry to talk shit on numetal, just because I am old now.
This is an insult to Fred durst
I'm not going to say you're wrong.
Assuming there are people in NY that would actually want to go to one of his shows, I would imagine the prospect of actual important parts of their lives getting better would outweigh the desire to watch Kid Rock sing the songs you can already hear on Spotify live.
Dunking on him aside, it’s pretty fucked up to abandon your fans like that.
Anything for orange daddy
Old Man Rock
Kid Rock got granny-burned
Why do sane people keep posting on $hitter
Well in this case, you're going to have a hard time trolling Trump supporters on the fediverse
I think memeing at the right is one of the few acceptable uses of Twitter at this point
Why would you waste your life on Trumpers?
Because sometimes you feel like doing a little trolling, and it's better to ethically source your trolling
He had to refund all eleven tickets Original joke by: @[email protected]
Who the fuck is going to any Kid Rock show in any city? I doubt even MAGAs like his shitty excuse for music.
I dunno. He's been known to sing about meth, so they probably relate to his music.
People drive in from the burbs and rural areas
When in this nepobaby going to OD like a real rockstar? Can't even decode if he wants to be southern hick or balck guy.
Fuck him.
yeah he sucks for sure, but who were his parents?
I don't know. I just know they've always been rich.
Wait, he calls what he does singing? it's more like a recitation of a top 40 song from at best a dozen years ago, why are we left with kid rock and no Chris Cornell?
Let's see if Rage Against the Machine could do a reunion concert in NYC on whatever date that was. That might be one of the only chances we'd have of getting them back together.
They toured with Run the Jewels recently, like last year.
ban kid rock from new york
🤔 I wouldn't guess that "commies" are the demographic that would go to a Kid Rock show
Can't imagine a New Yorker wanting to go to his concert.
The horror of not getting concerts from a burnt out and mediocre at best rock star!🤣
*paedo
pamela anderson and kid cudi are better than kid rock. seriously!
Do any of you actually check if this is real? As much as I would love to believe this, it's likely fake.
He had to refund all ten tickets.
Congrats on repeating the joke from the image
Okay because a dozen to you is apparently ten.
It's not a substantial difference, so not very creative. Obviously I'm not alone with that sentiment.
Kid rock probably only had to refund a low number of tickets as very few were planning to go to his show
Do you think he had to refund a few tickets? I don't think it could have been too many, seeing as New York has a relatively progressive population, which probably means there were just a few people who wanted to go and actually spent the money to obtain access to the show.
Imagine being one of the handful who planned to go to the concert! What happens now!? Cancellations? Refunds!? What an absolute mess, though I doubt it's likely to apply to very many people in the New York City metro area.
I love news outlets that go back and edit any statements they made which were determined to be false after publishing. Even better when they put them in a red box like that
Are you scared?
He's not even close to a "commie" ha ha, just another democrat

Your whole narrative (after the second sentence) falls apart against that.
Try harder. Maybe try writing in a Cyrillic alphabet first.
