    You ever think about the fact that if we put our minds together and made funny clips of excited baby goats set to actually good classic rock go viral as a meme we could essentially disappear Kid Rock from search engines?

    We could call the meme Kid Rock 2 and whenever anyone brings up Kid Rock 1 just mercilessly shit on it and say Kid Rock 2 is far better and Kid Rock 1 isn’t worth watching.

      OG Kid Rock songs were “Damn, its cool to be a rock star. I love drinking and fucking and singing and having fun. Yehaw.”

      Modern Kid Rock songs are “Damn, I’m making the laughing-crying emoji face right now, because I can’t stop winning but I’m still miserable. Jesus Jesus Jesus.”

      Dude is the textbook case for why more successful artists keep politics out of their music.

        I dunno I feel like those circles should touch, but just barely.

        Also Kid Rock’s amoeba shouldn’t even be getting close to the middle where those circles would come together, come on

    Meanwhile, Weird Al is in the intersection of all three circles.

      I mean, aren’t basically all of his songs parodies? So he’s not directly creating good music from scratch, since he’s not writing most of the music.

      Not to say he’s unskilled or bad. He’s amazing at what he does, and a skilled musician for sure. Though he is directly picking songs that are already popular most of the time instead of creating bangers whole-cloth. (I’m sure he could if he wanted to, of course)

        He started out heavy into the parodies, but every album has some originals and they’re often the best of his work. Dare To Be Stupid, Stuck in a Closet With Vanna White, and Virus Alert all slap. Used to have Albuquerque on a mixed tape I listened to for road trips, and I almost sort got the whole song memorized.

    I remember when someone asked me if I liked kid rock for the first time. I was confused and said no. I prefer heavy metal.
