@@adhunterpenticton - Believe it or not, not everyone who works in investment banking, medicine, law, engineering, business, academia etc came from wealthy elitist backgrounds. I would say that most people came from working class families, and can therefore relate to an ‘anthem’ like this. I didn’t grow up in a wealthy family. I was born and raised overseas in Trinidad & Tobago mostly in a single mother household. Many people I work with also were not born into wealth. Simply worked and studied hard in primary and high school…got accepted into good universities….smashed GPAs…and work in their field of studies. So, no…I don’t feel any guilt for working hard and doing okay, yet still loving and feeling this song. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I think people just took the fudge round and welfare comment way too damn literal, and I can speak on this subject for multiple reasons. But what he's actually saying is the unnecessary handouts when folks just refuse to work and those that clearly are in need of assistance and for whatever dumb reasons cannot receive it. And honestly the SNAP program will pay for monster energy drinks but not hot meals, does that truly make sense ?? I personally love this song, this style of music is my childhood maybe that's why it reasonates so deeply for me.

Until my fellow portlanders wake the F up and vote out the democrats...we are doomed. I honestly think the problem is its human nature to not want to admit when we're wrong. Even the voters. " why I couldn't be hood winked, i'm smart. I make a lot of money" So they still vote democrat yet expect the party that has had total control for 20 years to slove the problem. Thats an addiction in itself.. I know. I voted democrat for 25 years.

@@sp00kysquirrel To take a bit farther. He has a video where he breaks down this part of the song. He read an article earlier in the summer that said children in Richmond were missing meals because their parents couldn't afford food. The kids were missing the school lunches because school was out. The break down of welfare or EBT money is like 40% junk food. I think he said 10% was soda and 30% was on things classified as snack food or junk food. He clearly stated it's not the fault of the people, but inefficiency of the government and their programs. He then said we can spend money on a war in another country, but we can't feed our own.

Loved your reaction to this - so agree with a lot of what you said. Honestly I think all the "controversy" is being manufactured by the establishment media who are afraid of it, because it's a blue collar anthem that is being embraced around the world, and they don't like that. It's also a song by a completely independent artist that debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 - something that has never been done by an unknown artist before. If you watch any of his videos where he's just talking and explaining his views, he's clearly a genuine person. Anyone hating on him or this song says a lot more about them than it does about him or his music.

Songs like this were common 40 years ago.. Right now, if you are signed with ANY label you cannot say what he said. Simply not allowed (which is why we are so taken with Tom McDonald and Ren). It wasn't just the welfare and fudge round comment, he openly blames the political class in Washington (DC is just north of Richmond VA). It is not just the lyrics, its the clarity and delivery.. This guy hit a Grand Slam his first time at the plate... Some of the brilliance of the song is being missed.. He want just complaining about free junk food. The line before he talked about the homeless starving on the street. It is commentary on the ineffectiveness of government.. the same government program is leaving people behind and at the same time offering so much to others that they can use the benefit to harm themselves. It is commentary on big government ( I have watched his personal intro and comment videos which explains much of this)

The controversy also comes from the fact that the left has labeled this as a right-wing anthem. The mainstream media fanned the flames. Oliver Anthony (real name Chris) is also mad because this song was discussed during the GOP debate last week. He isn't picking sides and is pissed off that it is being assigned a side. The song is really centrist in what it says. The choice of fudge rounds was really more about song structure. It is more about how the welfare system is abused. However, people that missed the point are saying it's fatphobic. I would also recommend Ain't Got a Dollar for the next song you check out.

It blew up for many reasons. One side, in their professionally offended brains, went after him for calling out the abuse of the sacred cow called welfare. The other is because we are 1 1/2 generations into music that has much to do about nothing (popular music- all genres) . It comes from the point of view of a working person that is not an "influencer"- yet ( not a jab) or some tv character. And the modern folks outside of traditional country aren't used to hearing the blunt honesty . It thumps people in their emotional forehead. Too many people try to throw around flowerdy words to skirt what their saying for the sake of being " appropriate". Never getting their message- if there is one- across to people who don't pay attention any further than what they can bob their heads to. Another thing is it is raw. No over producing, or auto tune. No screaming guitars and filler instruments in the back ground. No flashing lights and pyro. It forces the listener to hear the words and the words are put out there plainly. You see the artist actually feel the words he is singing and not lip syncing to a track while the camera is rolling through multitudes of scene changes and edits, though there are a few. The modern world. In my opinion. Has forgotten what music is-or was- before technology got overused and abused and turned it into noise.

It's a conversation starter for sure. Makes folks question "Why do we have welfare/food stamps/WIC???" What is it designed to do? Is it actually accomplishing that goal or is it creating dependency? How do we have folks with no food on the streets but simultaneously have unemployed obese people? What kind of mismanagement of social aid impoverishes the folks it was supposed to help? Who's responsible for this F'd up situation? AND THAT's the question the ruling class don't want asked. so of course those minions of the suits must shut him down.

The fact of the matter is, MOST of America can relate to this song, because we know that the politicians are not working for the people... instead, it's the complete opposite. They are getting richer and richer while lording their power over us, causing us to have to work harder and harder to bring home less money, which is worth less almost every single day (it seems). He's basically letting us know that we're not alone in feeling this way about the state of the country... the whole world, actually. And he did it so simply, so honestly, with a pure heart, so it's resonated with people.

If I read Oliver Anthony right, through his music and public statements, his target audience is Oliver Anthony. However, it turns out that his actual audience is everyone in the world. I've watched over 60 reactions to this song, from people of every race, religion, age group, and economic status, even middle class young women with green hair. I've seen reviewers from at least a dozen countries, and virtually every single reaction was positive. Last night I saw four young Korean women who don't even speak English, and 40 seconds in one of them commented "He speaks for me". Here, in the comments of all these reactions, I've noted positive remarks from over 50 countries. If he had a target audience he ended up striking everyone.

Great song. Oliver Anthony got mad bars. Wow. Love everything about this song. Consider the ISLAND bar and how odd it is that THAT ISSUE isn’t in mass conversation instead of Fudge Rounds. So super self centered people avoiding the dark demon in the room. We have out grown the internet’s type of bitching, bullying and coercion. Song is felt by most.

Spooky: "I'm not aggressive but.... I'll fuck you up in Walmart". Lmfao 😂That was gold. I mean really all he did was call out the obvious with the "controversial" part of the song. A system that is designed to help you get back your feet statistically is get abused to no end and more that half the people on it tend to use it as a lifestyle instead. He was calling that a from an overworked person struggling to make sure everything is paid and have food on the table. Should check out his video of him talking about the song and his mental state before it and what led to him releasing it.

He may have criticized how the stamps are used, but the issue goes in two directions. It is not only how inefficient these governmental programs are run, but should also point out how the individual chooses to use this gift from the people when tgere are no purchasing restrictions. We are relatively poor and were forced to go on stamps when my wife was disabled from a brain tumor. We have been on them for several years. We don't use them to buy frivolous items and don't pack our shelves with processed crap. Our pantry is filled with items like beans, rice & pasta. Our freezer has mostly meat. We fix our food, not open a box and run for a microwave. Our culture has become lazy and a glutton for convenience. How someone spends this gift also comes down to personal integrity; something that is sorely needed in these times.

I think the main reason he words it the way he does is because he's talking about accountability. He says that everything's broken, then goes on to list all of the people keeping it that way. Corporations don't pay enough while they destroy small businesses, politicians don't care about us while they take more and more money, and fellow citizens are letting us carry their weight.

My 2 cents on the "Welfare" thing. 1) What Welfare SHOULD be, and what Welfare IS, are 2 completely different things. A) What it SHOULD be, is a system designed to help you get what you need to survive + help to find employment if you are physically capable of working. Then it ends once you are 'back on your feet' . B) What is IS, is a dependence driven system designed entirely on keeping people leashed to that dependence in return for Political votes. Your given what you need to survive, but never given anything to get you back on your own feet and self-reliant. All while being told "if you dont vote for me, all of this will be taken away by 'the other side' ". If you are physically UNABLE to work, there are vary few people who will have any problem with you taking advantage of Government assistance, because at that point, you need it. If you ARE Physically able TO WORK, then no. The taxes taken out of MY paycheck, from those "overtime-hours for bullshit pay" should NOT be constantly feeding your chocolate addiction while you sit at home, never attempting to find employment, and making 0 attempts to 'get on your own feet'. That really is all there is to it.

"Not gonna lie The fudge rounds thing was a big kick to the stomach." I couldn't write a bigger pun or oxymoron if I tried and it just came out of you. I think the most important line was about politicians not looking out for Miners/Minors in our own country not just Epstein Island.
