I get what he's saying about music critics but don't understand why he's so butthurt about them calling it "heartland rock".....That's a very accurate description of his music. It basically has it's own gene of Heartland rock along with maybe Bruce Springsteen singing about glory days & being born in the USA.

"The Heartland". What's that a modern day right wing myth? No such thing. It's called Folk music/ Folk songs. Not Heartland crap. That's politics. Folks aren't politicians and generally never cared for them. But now we got MAGAts and culture wars. Can't stand a politician especially these.

I don't understand why he's so offended by his music being categorized as heartland rock....Whoever coined that phrase for his genre of music, is pretty spot on. That's actually about the best way to describe it. I guess his ego is so big that he's butthurt someone else but him, placed his music in a category. Like, "How dare they give my music a genre name without asking my permission or opinion 1st."

Let me tell all you people about John Mellencamp. You really don’t know him or his music . His music was never about conservatism. His music was never about rural America. Sure he was born in a small town and wrote a great songs about growing up in one .. He writes and sings about being a rebel teenager and what it was like going through life in hard times and good times. You have it all wrong about labeling him heartland music .Sure he sang about it . But he’s also written so much more about Life , peace , protecting our planet and great dance hits . His music is about living in America and doing the best you can . The problem with small town conservatism these days . They think they own the patton of what it means to be an American, Well they dont ! We all share the same American values wether your from a city or a small community. His music has always been about politics. Just listen to his catalog. It’s nothing new . It’s your choice to disrespect if that makes you feel better, His music represents everyone . He made his music for us all not just conservatives. He cares about human rights . Women’s rights and teaching music in our schools . We need to be proud that we have such a great talent from our country. Yes he’s getting older and isn’t the young cougar anymore, that’s okay . He will go down as one of the best singer songwriters America ever produced.. thanks John for all your great music. Helped to have a great life 🎼♥️😎

He is a shame to small town American people.we are suffering. Badly. I have loved him since 1979 at Kim Moens house with Jack and Diane. I am 50 now. He has all of the money we don’t. Fuck mellencamp.

Great stuff! I love how surly Mellencamp still is and how dumbfounded “conservatives” are when they realize that they never paid attention to the lyrics, all of these decades.

I don’t listen to music for the hidden political message (if there even is one), but Mellancamp is kiddin himself if he thinks “conservatives just aren’t listening to the lyrics if they see my music as small town heartland.” His most popular songs are exactly that, and I’ll continue to enjoy them as that.

It's ironic he made his best albums, Scarecrow being one of them, when Ronald Reagan ruled the 1980s.Back then you never heard a peep out of him, but then again, there was no internet to give all the Liberal bozos a platform.

They only approach language through shibboleths like a bleary-eyed elder in the dairy section. "Oh wow, they're singing about small towns! I know that concept!" "Hey, I feel like society disagreed with me at some point!" "What do you mean oat milk? It's from a cow isn't it?"
