I’ll be added to that list one day

[@Dalt21]

There’s a big movement of rock music again. Lot of punk, grunge, midwestern emo. It’s great to see

Is there a man looking at you wearing a t-shirt that says "I shot JR?"

[@matthewdooley9046]

A lad with English connections singing in England on the BBC shouting 'Brits Out'. Grian is a legend!

[@maryburke5423]

🙌 yep.

[@zaza_2209]

The song is a satire of extreme irish nationalism and people who say brits out😭 what do u think he means when he says get yourself a good car get out of here? What do u think the better land he's talking abt is?😭

[@gfficomable]

I am pretty sure he is singing about small mindedness and not using a tired old slogan. You'll note that the use of 'Brits Out' is in fact surrounded by other words which also contribute the the meaning. Why! put them together and you might get the gist.

[@niallS707]

Whipping boy for the Millennials, the singer reminds me so much of Fearghal McKee

[@Atlas65]

Don't you rather mean: This band is like a Joy Division for the Gen Z or the Zommers. You do realise that most of us Millenials are pushing 40. Or are at least over 30. The singer in the band was 25 in 2020.. Keep in mind that the earliest Millenials were born 1981.

[@matthewdooley9046]

To be fair I doubt they would've had many fans outside of Ireland at the time. Their fan base would've probably been around Dublin as that's where the hand is from. At the time, Fontaines were way smaller than they are now.
