Ah yes the bi-weekly psyop post to get us to like this fucking guy

I used to get flamed for hating this guy like 3 years ago.

His music is complete trash and he’s a chode.

Thank goodness people see it now.

I never cared for his music but the weird organized efforts to get people into him makes me want to not listen even harder

What makes him a chode?

Was never a fan either, but I get why people used to be cool with his music, the reasons for the pushback used to be chiefly vibes based. People waiting til he outed himself as a phony should be viewed as a good thing.

His lyrics have always been complete dogshit.

Even copying the 60 year old folk recipe others before him crafted he doesn’t have a sliver of talent the legends before him had.

Yes it is weird af people come here every two weeks to make a post about a guy that is not folk punk hoping to sway some opinions

I live in a trailer that could comfortably sit entirely inside his tour bus and he could still use his bathroom, bed and kitchen.

Sorry OP, don't mind the comments. Folks have just decided he's not FP and gets a lot of hate in this sub.

I’m a 53 year old OG punk who is still alive and I think he is punk. He has more balls that any young musician in the US right now. Zero fux

Right on dude! I love what this community stands for but sometimes…I don’t know. In this case I find the sub very hypocritical. The dude just wants to sing his songs. If you don’t like it, scroll on by.
