cue onslaught of people:
a. Proclaiming when it is & isn’t “stepping” into someone’s culture
‘cause you know. It’s supper awesome when the people outside of the culture appoint themselves as the grand spokesperson for the people within it…seriously, listen to what you’re saying
b. Saying they are ~just appreciating culture~
uhh, no you’re not, you just like how those things look aesthetically/like to engage in a bit of exoticism here & there
(but 9 times out of 10 have zero understanding of their cultural significance…let’s be honest here)
You (general) have the right to wear what you want for whatever reason you chose but don’t pretend that that exempts you from criticism & don’t act surprised if people chose to criticize. If anything be honest with yourself & stop making up bullshit excuses.
from the album "Songs From A Ghost Town"
this song reminds me of home
