That's right! Barack Obama's actions let rock'n'roll get conquered by the Mongols!

The Klezmatics released Wonder Wheel, a klezmer interpretation of Woody Guthrie songs, in 2006, two years before Obama was elected. I don't fully understand the significance of that, but I think it's an important data point.

Wait, what? Rock โ€˜n Roll is gone because ofโ€ฆObama? Music changes as people and interests change. I happen to adore 60โ€™s, 70โ€™s and some 80โ€™s pop/rock. I remember when songwriters like Barry Gibb, Elton John, Harry Nilsson, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Stevie Nicks, and later REM would write songs that felt like tiny little perfect operas. So many of those songs were moving, and you could feel them inside. Iโ€™m sure good music, artistic music is being made today, but it doesnโ€™t resonate with me much. Too much of it sounds overproduced, with voice-altering machines that correct pitch or add effects, and always with the hip/hop drum machines. Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™m just an old guy now and music has passed me by, but it spoke to me when I was a child listening to my parentโ€™s vinyl, though the 70โ€™s and into the 80โ€™s and early 90โ€™s. I miss those records.

What do you call an Internet broadcast of 4 INCEL white guys sitting around in a circle whining about how tough it is to be a white male in America. A โ€œPutzcast.โ€

I would really appreciate it if someone explained to me how these whiny boys get PAID for these Idiot Takes

Many point out the African American roots of rock 'n' roll after a Daily Wire host said former president Obama 'destroyed' the genre and that it was 'about white male angst'

Gerald Ford was single-handedly responsible for the rise of hip-hop.

If they are talking about pop music then I will agree there is very little rock music there. Sorry but I can only listen to so many Ed Sheeran songs. But there is plenty of rock music on the more alternative stations. It's kind of where rock went. And of course the whole Obama cause and effect thing is ridiculous.

It was so much easier when they could just look at him and know they just didn't like him for some reason.
