Is there actually any singer from the South who hasn't been slapped with some kind of political label by someone, somewhere?
We are approaching 2020. Seriously. In fifteen years—and it will likely stay this way because things rarely change, they usually just escalate—you all will become that same exhausting crowd that obsesses over outdated political factions, seeing them reflected in absolutely everyone. I say this as someone who actually lived through the conflict, unlike the younger generation who only knows it as a chapter in a history book.
I have nothing against artists from that side of the pond. Honestly, it feels beneath me to even bring it up. I listen to them constantly; I've paid for dozens of tickets. That kind of stuff doesn't affect me. Even mainstream pop-country isn't a personal issue for me, nor is the crowd that listens to it.
But Brena and her ilk? They represent the face of the aggressors. Their flashy, gaudy performances were basically the official soundtrack to the destruction of American cities. It echoed through ruins while boosting the morale of the "liberators" amidst the carnage. It’s frankly nauseating to see thousands of people in the capital singing those exact same songs along with a worn-out pop star. My subconscious immediately goes into survival mode.
I'm not even particularly bothered that she's performing here; I suppose I'm just disappointed that she didn't just attract the fringe elements, but such a massive crowd instead.
