Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.

Funny thing is I would have never listened to kid rock except my mom bought me one of his cds when I was like 12 because she thought it was rock music for kids.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 36 minutes ago

It was rock music for kids, Kid Rock even has a song about it.

Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage,” Rock sings on the track. “See some say that’s statutory.” His sidekick at the time, the late Joe-C then chimes in, “But I say it’s mandatory.”

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 3 hours ago

Now this is a delicious LAMF moment.

[–] Furbag@pawb.social 19 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Imagine being 55 years old and still insisting people call you "Kid" Rock.

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Pretty sure it's a brand name at this point. I can't imagine anyone listens to him for his music.

They basically just use it as a fashion accessory to make other guys think they're masculine

[–] Blubber28@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Don't you know his name consists of the two things he loves most in life? Rock and kids.

[–] Furbag@pawb.social 1 points 5 hours ago
[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

or being known for only only song.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Was that the one about diddling kids or was that another one? I've never heard that or any other song from him tbh, I just remember that he apparently sang about how he likes kids

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 4 hours ago

I would assume it's the one with the nonsense words they hired him to perform at the alternative half time show because the guy doing the real halftime show wasn't singing in proper English.

This one: https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/57/

You're thinking of this one: https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858686749/

Nobody much paid attention to that one until recently, after all he hadn't been relevant at all for twenty years.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Instead he'll just stay home shooting beers.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

I'll never get over the conservative boycott over Bud Light by... checks notes.. buying a shit ton of Bud Light and shooting it.

What a smart thought process. I'm going to spend money on the thing I don't want to spend money on and just blow it up instead of just... Not buying it.

[–] WhyDoYouThinkThat@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Insthed he'l jusht shtay hoem shootin' bears

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 21 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

doing those wierd exercises in the SAUNA with RFK JR ISNT good enough?

[–] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Jesus I thought that was a bad dream

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

We're all stuck in this bad dream together, friend.

[–] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 101 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

My ex wife's mom was a kid rock megafan. She had kid rock tshirts in heavy rotation, had kid rock bumper stickers on her car, and went to concerts as often as possible. She even had limited edition, rhinestone encrusted kid rock shoes. She was one of the dumbest people I've ever encountered and a real piece of shit person.

Several years after divorcing my wife she still texts me asking for money (she's a dirtbag gambling addict) despite fact I've ghosted her. I will never block her, because getting those texts is a sweet reminder that I've escaped my shitty ex's shitty family. Fuck you Linda, you hateful garbagemonster

[–] mech@feddit.org 16 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I used to be a huge Kid Rock fan.
But in my defense, I knew nothing about him, I was 10 years old, I'm German, and I understood none of the lyrics.
(My biggest dream was one day being able to move to the US. Yeah, that changed, too.)

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I liked him when he came out, but I was literally 12. In my 20's I used to half ironically bust out Bawitaba when I was hanging with the boys as a throwback, and we used to half jokingly have it be our anthem. Then 2016 came and he started fondling Trump's balls daily. We haven't played it since.

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 hours ago

I mean he said it in the song "Now get in the pit and try to love someone" - you can't get much deeper in the pit than Trump.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I adore my wife but her family is awful, it’s a tough spot. They’re so toxic

[–] DaniNatrix@leminal.space 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

This is so tough. My partner's mother is a vicious manipulator and abuser, still tries to put her hands on her grown children. I love him so much and want to do my best to support him but I can't have a relationship with her. She's not permitted at our house because every time we've tried, she starts a toddler tantrum over whatever comes to mind and gets violent.

I worry it weighs heavily on him and I wish I could stomach more interaction with her, I imagine it would make his life easier in some ways. But I've hit my max when it comes to abusive people. I'm a domestic abuse survivor and I simply don't have any more space for folks who behave that way.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 7 points 8 hours ago

I worry it weighs heavily on him

I'm on the other side of that equation, and while my father being a racist POS weighs a bit on me, inviting him over and dealing with that bullshit fallout would be 50x worse.

ya' doin' fine

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 195 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Kid Rock's fans are up in arms after

I’m sorry his what now?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 143 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Kid Rock got shown up by fucking Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli. Who thefuck in the past 30 years has ever thought "I wanna hear Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli".

Jesusfuck, 250th year Anniversary of this country and this is the "talent" we have to show for it. Fucking Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli......

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Milli Vanilli?! One of them is dead, though....

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair, we have plenty of talent from 250 years. It's just that most of them don't want to perform for Trump.

You know they were so butthurt about the Superbowl they threw their own party. Their party here is going to suck and we all k ow it, time for everyone else to throw their own 250th party

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Has ANYONE actually heard Milli Vanilli?

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 hours ago

Unpopular opinion but as a collective artistic project I have no real issue with their music. And in fact, it's quite good. Yeah sure their presentation was dishonest but I'd argue no more than modern auto tuned artists.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Isn't it just Milli now? I thought Vanilli offed himself. Or maybe it's the other way around. It would be disingenuous if one of them claimed to be a Milli or a Vanilli, when they aren't. Girl, you know it's true.

[–] kometes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

Milli Vanillus. It's Latin.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

I think they got someone else to off themselves for them.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Girl you know girl you know girl you know…

[–] Solventbubbles@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I mean, tbf to Milli Vanilli, they dropped out. In fact, their response was something along the lines of "we never signed up for this shit"

[–] Floodedwomb@lemmy.world 10 points 16 hours ago

Several artists said that they were never even asked.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Milli Vanilli, they dropped out

Hasn't the group only been one guy since the other one died in 1998?

[–] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

The denial of involvement was from vocalists Jodi and Linda Rocco
