Because the outdoors and nature is white culcha

quote:

---

A powerline stretches across a backdrop of golden fields. A stem of grain cuts through the sun shining in an empty forest. Justin Timberlake is cold and alone in the woods, staring at something we can’t see. Now he is kneeling in a snowy field, lost in thought and then a second later arms stretched up toward the heavens. Now he is walking fully-clothed through a quiet stream. He is gazing out at some snowy mountains. Next he is on a cliff gazing out over an autumnal wilderness scene. Something is weighing on Justin Timberlake’s mind, but what could it be?

Nothing says white power like a wheatfield.

White colonialist fantasies aside, there’s something very familiar about this pivot in Timberlake’s style. We saw it from Miley Cyrus in her hasty rebranding around her 2017 pop country album Younger Now, as well as from Lady Gaga who took to wearing cowboy hats with the release of her 2016 album Joanne. Authenticity is quite marketable now, and for white pop stars that means shifting away from the hip-hop and R&B-influenced sounds that made them famous, and toward the sounds of Southern and country rock. For Timberlake, the pivot should be sonically natural: Originally hailing from Tennessee, Timberlake has never been shy about celebrating his Southern origins. And considering Pharrell and Timbaland are both producers on the album, Man of the Woods is likely to retain some familiar influences.

But with his insistence in the video that this album will be his most personal yet, Timberlake is indulging in the inexplicably popular fallacy that music with heavy country influences is somehow more profound or emotionally acute than music that is electronic, lyrics that are rapped, or songs that inspire listeners to shake their asses. Most recently, hip-hop artist Post Malone pushed this narrative in an interview where he said, “If you’re looking for lyrics, if you’re looking to cry, if you’re looking to think about life, don’t listen to Hip Hop.”

Time to get mad at JT for being white, because only whites can perform different genres of music. It's just science:

The success of his second studio album FutureSex/LoveSounds was in no small part due to hip-hop producers like Timbaland and Rick Rubin. There’s nothing wrong with a white artist expressing black influences in his music; still, the ease with which Timberlake can pivot to and away from blackness certainly raises some questions. Pop music is about reinvention, but only white artists are allowed the freedom to leap between racialized identities, depending on the whims of the market

I think my man Hootie would disagree with that.

Kid Rock turned white Long before JT did.

OK what? I have no idea what he's doing but I feel triggered

He’ll only have to live with himself for pandering to a whiter America.

A whiter America? America is the least white it's been since 1605. Whites will completely die out in a century or so and I am sure the country will be a much better place. It will be a utopia just as it was before whites came.

So, it's cultural appropriation for a white guy to embrace/profit from black music/culture but it's white supremacy and a celebration of colonialism if he embraces his own music/culture and it's white privilege that he can go back and forth between genres.


I love when leftists load the dice to make seemingly nice people like JT look like monsters.

Literally HITLER!

I'm surprised he's rebranding as a man.

Boom.

Don’t forget Cowboy Troy, or Myles Davis pivoting from cool jazz to funk.
Cee-Lo-Green pivots all over the damn place. Randy Jackson was in Zebra, Jessica Simpson can’t rap, I want ANSWERS!

Where’s the outrage for T Swift going from country to pop with some rapping on her newest album?

Um. Look harder
