“Gorillaz really need to slow it down with the politics! They need to go back to their normal dance music like they used to do, none of this new political business! They’re going to lose viewers if they keep shoving their beliefs in our faces like this!“
I was going to keep in the tags but nah
Dirty harry was about the Iraq war. November has come was calling out George W. Bush’s shitty presidency. Rhinestone eyes was a piece on how corporate pollution is affecting our oceans. Ascension was about racism and police violence. Hallelujah money!!! Submission!!! Let me out!!! None of this is new for them
You don’t have to enjoy music about politics, but don’t listen to music about politics and then complain that it’s about politics! There’s so much music out there; listen to something else if it’s that bothersome to you that’s some musicians think racism, war and capitalism just isn’t cool
Gorillaz was a commentary against capitalism from its inception. Damon and Jamie hated how the charts were full of music that they felt wasn’t authentic, was created with the goal of what will make the most money.
And their response to manufactured pop music was to literally manufacture a band. A band where all the players are literally two dimensional created fictions.
Gorillaz was social commentary from the start. Watch the video for Rock It.
Where’ve you been, man?
Even fucking Feel Good, Gorillaz’s most iconic song, was about the evils of media corporations that sneakily inject pro fascist propaganda into music.

I have a math textbook that illustrates the concept of geometric progressions by pointing out that if there were to be a single-elimination tournament involving every human being on Earth, we’d only need 33 rounds to determine a champion, and now I’m trying to imagine the tournament that would give every human being on Earth a fair shot.
hook everyone up to a computer. put them into global minecraft hugnergames. when you die in the game you die for real
I just kind of love how people are like “omg Incredibles 2 has swearing and alchohism it’s so dark and obviously meant for adults” like y’all, Brad Bird films are like this.
The first Incredibles literally had a man attempt to kill himself
also the swears are like “damn” and “hell” which aren’t really swears to begin with like i can think of ten other kids movies that have those words in them. call me when frozone says fuck or something then i’ll consider it
let frozone say fuck
In addition to suicide attempts, incredibles 1 also had a teenager dying and what was framed to look like an affair
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
