Sorry but I can’t stop thinking about this post and I have just 2 more thoughts. First, I think it’s a testament to how much more Gen Z’ers are politically knowledgeable than our generation. I think this same surface level politicking would not pass their BS radar. If FOB pulled this shit today, they’d roast the shit of Pete Wentz for this surface level “activism.” For me, though, I was so shallow at that point that my sole reason for voting Obama over Hillary was because he seemed chill. Second, this definitely reminds me of those CIA missions abroad where they spread political messaging through rock songs (like in that Wind of Change podcast).
Wooooow I am going to have to look into that podcast! Yeah there are several fine and bad reasons why fall out boy wouldn’t be held to the same political standards as Taylor Swift but just from the bullshit calling I’ve seen in the past few years it does make me wonder what that backlash might look like. A few years ago I was searching for some video on YouTube and realized pete wentz had partially pivoted to being a fortnight streamer so he’s definitely well enough embedded into that generation.
