Mumford and Sons are shit. Politically I mean. Their music is okay...

Hey you know that really annoying indie acoustic song that goes:
Ba ba ba ba ba baaa baa baaaa "Heyy!"
Ba ba ba ba ba baaa baa baaaa "Heyy!"
(repeat 50x)
Is that them? I hope it is so I can hate them more.
Ba ba ba ba ba baaa baa baaaa "Heyy!"
Ba ba ba ba ba baaa baa baaaa "Heyy!"
(repeat 50x)

So good.
Always thought they were terminally shit. You're posh London boys, why do you dress and sound like that? This just makes me hate them even more, so well done, guy.

They reminded me of a more pretentious and shitty version of dave mathews band. Nothing of importance will be lost here lol fuck em
If he hadn't missed the part where it's basically nothing but Marcus Mumford talk-singing something, attempting to sound profound, it would have been perfect.
EDIT: Maybe he actually has that. Hard to tell when he's only got a guitar.
I'm grateful they at least make their music utter shit so this wouldn't hurt.
He always nails this stuff.
Exploiting peoples conflation of 'well articulated' and 'well considered' is basically rule number 1 of being a grifter. If you can say it well and with conviction you can say anything you like.
EDIT: Until you inevitably get socked in the mouth that is.

How utterly predictable. At the time they were coming up there were four-piece multi-instrumentalist folk bands coming out of the wazoo. I remember friends excitedly putting on events featuring bands that had once shared dressing rooms or cigarette breaks with one or more of these tossers.
To be a successful folk musician (or pretty much any genre) in the U.K. you have sure as hell gotta come from privilege. Your parents better be minted because you are not going to earn a fraction of a living travelling across Europe playing to half full clubs until you're lucky or good enough to break through. If that wasn't enough god forbid you might have to give up, retrain and find a well paid job to cover your living expenses without well-connected family and friends to sort you out because you are sure as fuck staring at square one in today's economy.
Of course he feels threatened by anything that would even slightly question their place in the world as anything but the product of privilege. Fascism is the security blanket for the privileged.

Absolute pack of fannies who are responsible for the late 00s banjo ukulele revival shite heard on pretty much every insurance ad ever. When the UK music industry truly crumbles, it's people like this who will outlast everyone because they were either privately educated or rich to begin with. The UK is a boys club
Knowing what we know about voting committees like the Academy, Is it really that big of a mystery?
Also Jordan Peterson fans? lmao. Holy shit.
Imagine loving all these charlatans from the right and feeling like you are intelligent and wise.

This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. This dude just nails it.
God damn it. I feel like I just got caught saying "on accident"
At least the Oscars nominates great movies and a lot of them even win. The Grammys are a trash popularity contest.
I honestly didn't even know this band was still together. I haven't heard from them in years. Yeah they're awful.
Sorry guys but at this point I'm not surprised when White men turn out to be racist/sexist/sketchy. Like not at all. It's 2021 and Trump almost won a second time. I keep my expectations so low they're in Hell.
Also for this band, it'd be one thing if they were rappers or in a progressive environment, but they're in a country-rock band. Come on now. Also, their music is... a choice (not trying to bash their fans btw) so I'd be surprised if they actually read any books before this one.
