Normally I wouldn't care what person made the music I enjoy, but if they turn out to be a total bag of shit, I just can't bring myself to enjoy the music, no matter how good it might be.

Its kinda funny how I used to see bands that had really good music and shit politics, because the political views were trendy but the music scene was very open and diverse.

Now I see musicians that suck absolute dog turds somehow squeezing themselves up and out the ass of the Billboard 100, because some douche noozle billionaire bought a million copies of their album sound unheard just to get them trending on Spotify.

Whether its "Rich men north of Richmond" or Whatever the Fuck This Is these attempts at music are comically bad. At this point, I would happily trade whatever leftist-ish club music we occasionally get as trickle down for some modern day Morrissey.

Nobody ever says this about mediocre acts that are really great people in their personal life. You'll never hear someone say "This song is kinda mid but thats because they recorded it while working at a refugee camp!"

Meh, I personally believe in that but I'm not going to go tell other people what to do

I think there can be a more nuanced conversation to be had about that, like say what "The smiths" were and what "Morrissey" actually seems to be. To be honest there's not a whole lot of good art made by outward racists. None of those people will see a single dime from me but if you're discussing in good faith i don't necessary think it's completely a dumb idea.
