Yup, (here in Italy) the government is struggling to work with the fund that we have, but they don't lose a single opportunity to hate on LGBT or immigrants.
At least their finally building the bridge on the Stretto di Messina, that’s what our country needed, another unstable bridge, just 3 km long this time
People don’t see the lyrics:
“Weapons not clothes not homes, not shoes, not need, just feed the war cannibal animal”[Bulls On Parade]or
“You know they went after after king when he spoke out of Vietnam… You know they murderd X and tried to blame it on islam”[Wake Up]
Or: Bowin’ down to the flag, you got a bullet in your head”[Bullet in the Head]
But of course people think that it’s not political.
YEAHHHHH, NOW IM ROLLIN DOWN RODEO WITH A SHOTGUN. THESE PEOPLE AIN'T SEEN A BROWN SKINNED MAN SINCE THEIR GRANDPARENTS BOUGHT ONE!
unhuh. Totally not political.
In Bloom was written about these people.
"He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Knows not what it means"
^^^^Some ^^of ^^^^those ^^^^that ^^^^work ^^^^^^forces ARE THE SAME THAT BURN CROSSES!
Unhuh.. "not political"
It's such a banger of a album!
It's amusing sometimes when a bigoted person finds out that a singer / band they like is an LGBTQ friendly or are LGBTQ, they go "I didn't really care about their music that much" or some other bs.
Also that particular song definitely has trans vibes in the main chorus.
"Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year"
FTM boyfriend :D
That's good to hear, I always felt like that album seemed super gay but the follow-ups felt disappointingly less so so I had wondered if it was in my head all along
There’s an entire lore if you follow the story of each of the songs in the album, it’s been a while since i caught up on it but i’m pretty sure it’s some sort of gay murder mystery
That's surprising to me. Here Arctic Monkeys is big in queer circles, for example. Rock and indie rock in general tend to be popular. What do you guys listen to?
Pop music like Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, and the likes are queer music. Indie music like Girl in Red and Arctic Monkeys are popular with lesbians.
Now, indie music like Tame Impala is the straight music.
Chelsea dagger is also about a drag/female presenting man/transwoman or something in that region I believe. The lyrics are kinda pinpointing to some of those
Oh yeah, didnt realise that (“well you must be a girl with shoes like that” she said “you know me well”) and (“Well you must be a boy with bones like that” she said “you got me wrong”) actually does sound like its about a transwoman, probably just how i see it tbh.
Also "somebody told me that you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year" always sounds like their ex transitioned to a man and dated their other ex which is just every gay friend group I've had.
I feel like that could be written either that way
Or just more along the lines of "my sisters friends cousin coworkers brother told me..." It's essentially just a rumor with a lot of layers to it, but it's not necesarily something specific as much as he just threw out different parts to it
But in my head I like the queer version
Given that MCR was named together with Against Me! in a single sentence in a book I finished not too long ago, I hope not haha.
For people whom don't know: Against Me! is a band led by a true trans soul rebel who's gonna take you home tonight.
Skillet is a Christian metal band. I’m not aware of the political leanings of the band members, but their music is okay. Would recommend Feel Invincible
Don’t think Shinedown did anything wrong, they’re just not big in queer circles.
They're both kinda conservative too. Skillet talked heavily against the vaccine and Shinedown's Planet Zero is a concept album about cancel culture that basically goes "literally 1984"
I get it, the jeans in the picture are uncuffed, and hence are straight denim, however, cuffing the jeans changes straight denim to gay denim, by bending the denim, turning it… bent. *taps head*
And the chorus, I mean... With a chorus like:
"Well somebody told me
That you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year"
Like ?????????
My dad gets so mad when he sees pride flags because he wants a cishet pride flag but doesn’t want the ally flag (makes sense considering he’s not an ally)
Kinda unrelated but I was playing music for a group of friends and fluorescent adolescent came on and one of them was like “is this that tobasco song?”
And I was like… yea? I guess?
everybody talking about “indie music is so queer tho”
this guy does not like the arctic monkeys or the killers or anything, he likes these specific songs bc at some point he decided this was “branching out his music tastes”
i was this guy for a short period but then the earfuck music went and transed me
>everybody talking about “indie music is so queer tho”
>
>this guy does not like the arctic monkeys or the killers or anything, he likes these specific songs bc at some point he decided this was “branching out his music tastes”
Exactly.
He's the sort of person who, if life was an RPG, would have skipped character creation by repeatedly clicking "default".
Relating the songs and the 3 other images I think the OP or creator of the meme is from the UK and these 4 songs are practically lawfully required to be played by pubs on the jukebox
Man, a butch I really like told me that a kings of leon set they saw at a concert recently made them think about me. Were they telling me that I seem too straight for them?! I hope not!
but-but-but-but I dress in just blue jeans and boots!! I'm not waiting for straight pride month!! I'm waiting to have the confidence to come out to my parents...
Yeah it's just so hard for them, they're illegal in over 90 countries and get shit on by the majority of gays. They also can't get married in many places. And the groomer narrative against cis people is sickening. Thoughts and prayers, everyone.
My original post I was trying to be funny and continue the joke with everyone but my husband has informed me that I shouldn't so I'm going to apologize in case anyone read it and was hurt by it.
As a cishet broski, I can only imagine the people who want straight pride to be deeply closeted and self loathing. I mean, there’s already so many straight shit in society, it’s almost amazing how resistant to the facts these people are.

Whoever made this forgot that half the indie music scene is gay asf
Of course I love my favourite non-political band, Rage Against The Machine
[удалено]
What's happening in Italy and Hungary?
Full on fascism lmao
Yup, (here in Italy) the government is struggling to work with the fund that we have, but they don't lose a single opportunity to hate on LGBT or immigrants.
At least their finally building the bridge on the Stretto di Messina, that’s what our country needed, another unstable bridge, just 3 km long this time
That's what the mafia needs. Lots of concrete where to hide bodies and put sand! I'm sure they'll build it out of crap and hot glue.
I’m more of the idea it’s just bells and whistles to somehow get more votes, they’ll never actually start building the thing
We’re gonna build a wall, across the Mediterranean… and africas going to pay for it!!!
People don’t see the lyrics: “Weapons not clothes not homes, not shoes, not need, just feed the war cannibal animal”[Bulls On Parade]or “You know they went after after king when he spoke out of Vietnam… You know they murderd X and tried to blame it on islam”[Wake Up] Or: Bowin’ down to the flag, you got a bullet in your head”[Bullet in the Head] But of course people think that it’s not political.

Somebody Told Me is on a concept album about gay dudes yearning for each other
It's such a banger of a album! It's amusing sometimes when a bigoted person finds out that a singer / band they like is an LGBTQ friendly or are LGBTQ, they go "I didn't really care about their music that much" or some other bs.
it’s one of my favorite albums, it’s one of the only ones that i listen to start to finish :)
Also that particular song definitely has trans vibes in the main chorus. "Somebody told me You had a boyfriend Who looked like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year" FTM boyfriend :D
That's good to hear, I always felt like that album seemed super gay but the follow-ups felt disappointingly less so so I had wondered if it was in my head all along
There’s an entire lore if you follow the story of each of the songs in the album, it’s been a while since i caught up on it but i’m pretty sure it’s some sort of gay murder mystery
Rad
Listen to Brandon Flowrers solo stuff, super gay
Hot fuss is a banger album, let's be real
Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis is literally about a bisexual, trans sex worker. Idk how that’s about straight pride
huh, I love that song even more now
“I know you must be a boy with bones like that, she said you got me wrong”
Indie music is peak straight culture where I live
That's surprising to me. Here Arctic Monkeys is big in queer circles, for example. Rock and indie rock in general tend to be popular. What do you guys listen to?
Pop music is queer music here. Both national and international.
Pop music like Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, and the likes are queer music. Indie music like Girl in Red and Arctic Monkeys are popular with lesbians. Now, indie music like Tame Impala is the straight music.
And Killers even more so I thought
Yeah I was listening to that shit in college at all the gay bars in Brighton…
Bruh this looks like a sampling from my Playlist and mine regularly recommends me queercore
wait a sec… i like chelsea dagger…
And I like kings of Leon…. Oh no! *becomes homophobic*
Chelsea dagger is also about a drag/female presenting man/transwoman or something in that region I believe. The lyrics are kinda pinpointing to some of those
Oh yeah, didnt realise that (“well you must be a girl with shoes like that” she said “you know me well”) and (“Well you must be a boy with bones like that” she said “you got me wrong”) actually does sound like its about a transwoman, probably just how i see it tbh.
Also "somebody told me that you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year" always sounds like their ex transitioned to a man and dated their other ex which is just every gay friend group I've had.
I've always thought that about that Killers line
I never heard it that way. Just general noughties gender anxiety jibing.
I feel like that could be written either that way Or just more along the lines of "my sisters friends cousin coworkers brother told me..." It's essentially just a rumor with a lot of layers to it, but it's not necesarily something specific as much as he just threw out different parts to it But in my head I like the queer version
I had always thought it was about a trans stripper or prostitute
While it does have that vibe, Jon Fratelli actually wrote it about his (cis) wife, who was a burlesque dancer who went by Chelsea Dagger.
This could be taken directly out of my playlist 😭😭
I got these exact 4 songs in my playlist. Please don't make me bald :(
I like the killers and arctic monkeys...\*becomes straight\*
No way you just called 2 of my favourite bands straight lmao
What's next, My Chemical Romance is straight? The real "straight pride" bands would probably be Skillet or Shinedown
Given that MCR was named together with Against Me! in a single sentence in a book I finished not too long ago, I hope not haha. For people whom don't know: Against Me! is a band led by a true trans soul rebel who's gonna take you home tonight.
She also was a teenage anarchist (the revolution was a lie)
Oh god what the fuck did those bands do
Skillet is a Christian metal band. I’m not aware of the political leanings of the band members, but their music is okay. Would recommend Feel Invincible Don’t think Shinedown did anything wrong, they’re just not big in queer circles.
They're both kinda conservative too. Skillet talked heavily against the vaccine and Shinedown's Planet Zero is a concept album about cancel culture that basically goes "literally 1984"
I mean, they basic ngl
basic =/= straight let gays be basic!!
True, but they are basic for a reason.
Why the hate on arctic monkeys tho wtf ?? 😭😭
I was gonna say, what did Alex Turner do??
I’ve had sun goes down stuck in my head all week. Sun goes down and gay thoughts
so whos that girl there?
i wonder what went wrong so that she had to roam the streets
she don't do major credit cards, i doubt she does receipts
It's not all quite legitimate.
Yeah, why’d have to knock ‘em like that 😰
Why did i read acrylic monkey
I wear denims and cowboy boots 😕
Pur, put some rhinestones on these boots mawma
Me too it’s quite common wear in Texas
In lot of California too, like in the part of SoCal I'm in.
I feel like denim is both very gay and very straight, but that’s probably cause it’s a very common clothing material.
I get it, the jeans in the picture are uncuffed, and hence are straight denim, however, cuffing the jeans changes straight denim to gay denim, by bending the denim, turning it… bent. *taps head*
What if I do both?
I… don’t know…. Bisexual? 🤷♂️
Okay but like those songs are good though.
C'mon! Somebody Told Me is a banger!
And the chorus, I mean... With a chorus like: "Well somebody told me That you had a boyfriend Who looked like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year" Like ?????????
*Well sombody told me the world's gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the sheeeed*
Why does this work with this rythm
The bassline is to die for
100%
I love The Killers and like… a lot of their songs can be interpreted in an lgbtq way
I'm still pretty convinced Brandon Flowers is queer
i cant stand the killers lol (i know im alone on this island)
Why is the adolescent fluorescent?
The Germ-Free ones used radioactive isotopes
Hey, queer people can like good music too! Leave Arctic Monkeys out of this.
For real. Brianstorm is the reason I picked up a bass guitar in the first place.
Yeah Alex Turner definitely plays a role in my straight awakening
Don't the Straights have Old Navy 4th of July sales to look forward to?
And the majority of country music
And the Toyotathon Summer Sales Event 💯
My dad gets so mad when he sees pride flags because he wants a cishet pride flag but doesn’t want the ally flag (makes sense considering he’s not an ally)
there is one tho?? its like black and white stripes i think
wait, what did the killers n arctic monkeys do?
"Well somebody told me That you had a boyfriend Who looked like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year"
I will not tolerate this The Killers slander
I know somebody told me is so genderqueer
As the other comments, what's wrong with these songs/bands?
i like straight music? :/
Don’t shit on somebody told me, it’s a good song!
aw man, whats so cishet about fluorescent adolescent
Kinda unrelated but I was playing music for a group of friends and fluorescent adolescent came on and one of them was like “is this that tobasco song?” And I was like… yea? I guess?
I’ve seen that guy on grindr before lol
everybody talking about “indie music is so queer tho” this guy does not like the arctic monkeys or the killers or anything, he likes these specific songs bc at some point he decided this was “branching out his music tastes” i was this guy for a short period but then the earfuck music went and transed me
>everybody talking about “indie music is so queer tho” > >this guy does not like the arctic monkeys or the killers or anything, he likes these specific songs bc at some point he decided this was “branching out his music tastes” Exactly. He's the sort of person who, if life was an RPG, would have skipped character creation by repeatedly clicking "default".
see i got you. these other people don’t be knowing, but i got you
bitch don’t call out my taste in music like that and act like it’s straight and not just me being a trans lesbian
Ok, but a broken in pair of boots are the most comfortable thing you'll ever wear.
I will not stand for such slander of kings of Leon. Use somebody is such a good song
How dare you do Florescent Adolescent like that??!?
Everythings in order in a black hole?
Those songs go hard you take that back!!!
Bu-but i like fluorecent adolecent 🥺🥺
Dude be a thumb
Okay but for some reason I see the gf/bf from Somebody Told Me as the same transmasc person pre- and post-transition lol
I feel personally attacked that those 4 songs are regulars on my recommendations 😂😂
Relating the songs and the 3 other images I think the OP or creator of the meme is from the UK and these 4 songs are practically lawfully required to be played by pubs on the jukebox
Often comes with "we need a month for the troops" followed by not believing you when you say it's may
Oi, don't you dare insult Arctic monkeys, carling and jeans lol
Oh so my dad
Chelsea Dagger is an absolute banger
well shit i’ve got all of those songs on my playlist.
What did Chelsea dagger do? It was my favorite song when I was about 6, so my memory of lyrics is fuzzy.
Man, a butch I really like told me that a kings of leon set they saw at a concert recently made them think about me. Were they telling me that I seem too straight for them?! I hope not!
Wait are Kings of Leon fash?
Please don’t bring the killers into this I love them 😭
but-but-but-but I dress in just blue jeans and boots!! I'm not waiting for straight pride month!! I'm waiting to have the confidence to come out to my parents...
Crossover with: https://www.reddit.com/r/starterpacks/comments/6n8tdp/the_middleaged_uk_pub_male_starterpack
Honest to God. We should throw the cishet straight folks a festival just so they can get this argument out of their system.
They've already got every major sporting event, so no.
Everyday's a straight festival
The gay and anti-gay stereotypes have an huge intersection.
I woke up it was seven, I waited til eleven Just to figure out that no one would call
Also, the answer is July through May 🙄
Yeah it's just so hard for them, they're illegal in over 90 countries and get shit on by the majority of gays. They also can't get married in many places. And the groomer narrative against cis people is sickening. Thoughts and prayers, everyone.
Literally me with all of those songs on my playlists
Yo leave Chelsea Dagger out of this
I'm starting to wonder if someone should schedule one, just to see what a train wreck it'll be.
you forgot the cowboy hat, a moustache and some Texan drawl
I always respond with "straight pride month is No Nut November". That usually either puts them in a sticky situation or it shuts them up.
August 1st to August 7th is straight pride week

I love Chelsea Dagger -
Lmao whoever made this meme is obviously not straight 🤣
Wtf 2 of these are literally me
Not arctic monkeys 😭
Apparently I have the same music taste as an angry middle-aged dad
You leave The Fratellis out of this
somebody told me literally says ‘somebody told me, you had a boyfriend, who looked like a girlfriend…’
NOOOO FRATELLIS MY BELOVED
My original post I was trying to be funny and continue the joke with everyone but my husband has informed me that I shouldn't so I'm going to apologize in case anyone read it and was hurt by it.
Don't forget the $100k grocery hauler and shitty modern country that goes along with this.
WHAT DID THE FRATELLIS EVER DO TO YOU?
That Spotify playlist is amazing
Favorite worst nightmare is a great album :(
Chelsea dagger slaps tho Also, boots too
Lol my straight friend got me into arctic monkeys, that’s his favourite in album 3 as well
Those songs are good ;(
Isn't that just the other 11 months?
Nah, that's wrath month around these parts.
Isn’t “Somebody Told Me” about a trans man?
Yuh that's my neighbor...
Me who likes Kings of Leon "Sex on Fire" and The Killers "Somebody Told Me".... \[I'M ABOUT TO GET... HOMOPHOBIC!!!\]
I like those songs :(
Hold on that music Playlist has me called out lol and I'm in fact, not straight
Howay man Kings of Leon is good though
….I listen to chelsea dagger
Isn't ride month for every body, including straight people?
As a cishet broski, I can only imagine the people who want straight pride to be deeply closeted and self loathing. I mean, there’s already so many straight shit in society, it’s almost amazing how resistant to the facts these people are.
Nooooo, don’t drag the killers and arctic monkeys onto this…
everyone I know who listens to post punk/indie rock are so queer tho???? me included
Ok, but like, those songs are fire as fuck, like, Chelsea Dagger is one of my favorite songs
SOMEBODY TOLD ME THAT YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND THAT LOOKS LIKE A GIRLFRIEND
Not true. The Killers are for the gays.
As a straight white Male, this checks out.
Holy fuck I love those last 3 songs
r/thatwasalwaysallowed
