isnt conservatism literally about not moving forward and not changing?
Yeah lmao that’s the whole problem with it
Pretty much. Its in the name for fuck sakes/
Lol basically yeah don’t change anything keep the system the same
likewise, liberalism is about revisionism and erasing and changing history. yikes
@@sigmaligmaballs2306 making our country better and distancing itself from its terrible past isn’t erasing history, it’s changing the present. But whatever helps you sleep at night buddy
"Sex Pistols". Literally had a song called "Anarchy in the UK" and called the Monarchy a "fascist regime". Real Conservative!
Oh yeah Sex Pistols, you mean the punk rock band that is now currently labeled as a bunch of “posers” by the punk community because one of the members talked about how the right are now the ones standing up to the establishment. Also didn’t Sid Viscious wear Nazi symbols?
Tho I agree with you. Funny you bring up Johnny rotten tho look at him now. And even some of lyrics back then the issue I always had with Sex Pistols is sometimes they didn’t take a side hard enough (it’s why the clash is better in lyrics) look at “bodies” he kinda calls both sides argument and doesn’t really pick one. And pil had awful lyrics imo
They were against everything. They wore Swazis and s&m they were trying to offend everyone. Not just conservatives, liberals too.
@@bowbow77 yeah, the turn JR made was a weird one, can't stand him now, but he certainly couldn't have been called a Conservative back in the day. Although the Pistols were basically a manufactured band so who knows what they really believed. Never really listened to PIL so can't really comment on them. But I agree on The Clash, far superior band IMO.
The Sex Pistols are utter crap, and nothing they ever wrote was of any actual meaning or substance. The lyrical contents of their songs are all juvenile drivel, and their chief songwriter basically bookended their career with "I don't actually believe in anarchy it just sounded cool, true anarchy would be a disaster" and "actually, the royal family is alright and the military is the most fundamental part of British society and requires the most funds"

Conservatism is by definition a defense of the status quo. It’s hard to be cutting edge when your cutting edge idea is that things should stay the same, or even go back in time.
Haha lol
I wouldn't say its about conserving the status quo because they are not happy with the current status quo. It would be more accurate to say they preserve values they consider to be "traditional" that may or may not have been the status quo at one point.
@@Altair4611 the status quo is definitely still right leaning. conservatives are just mad at the current status quo that they perceive, because they live in an alternate reality where cities are being burned down for BLM, and schools have litter boxes for trans species children.
The ignorance in your post is off the charts.
You're castigating every person who leans conservative as if conservatism rules EVERYTHING they do. I'm a conservative politically, but that doesnt mean I want to maintain the status quo on every fucking thing. I love music and its important to me personally, but that doesn't mean my political views bleed into my musical views. They're totally unrelated. Why would they be?
@@sHART1780"but that doesn't mean my political views bleed into my musical views."
then they aren't talking about you
Conservativism is literally about conserving culture and not innovating on it. Art innovation is inherently progressive in a cultural context; not naturally leftist though.
Fuck conservatives, but this is a simplistic take on art. Major developments in art are not always innovative; they've often been rennovative. Look at modernist writers like Pound (with his famous command to "make it new"), Eliot, or Ungaretti; look at the Italian Renaissance, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Neoclassicism...the idea of revitalizing the old ways (thereby preserving what's worth preserving of them) has been crucial throughout art history. Also, metal is kind of the element in the room for this whole discussion; black metal in particular has always been predominantly ultra-conservative, regardless of whether or not suburban soccer moms want their kids to listen to it.

@@sojirokaidoh2 tf are you on about? Is reimagining old concepts not inherently innovative?
@@sojirokaidoh2 all art is built on innovations on the past cultural works. Black metal is is countercultural, which works against traditional conservative ideals. Conservative definition: adverse to change or innovation and holding traditional values.

I feel like going through every individual musician and looking at their political views misses the broader point, the idea is that movements within music are very rarely initiated by conservatives or from a conservative ideological space. There might be conservative rock stars or rappers, but we don't have those genres in the first place because of conservative thought And it's more than likely conservatives that actively fought against the new wave in music (jazz, and rock, and hip hop) being accepted by broader society.
Appropriate take
@@HectorTWE yay! And it's like the more you think about it, and the deeper into any particular genre you go the more you see conservatives fighting against every new thing that happens in that genre. Like just in rock music you have conservatives against the black people who invented the genre, then Elvis for taking a lot of the sound and movements and popularizing it, the satanic panic when hard Rock and metal started, punk rock being anti-fascist, The folk rock around Vietnam and the hippie stuff, just decades and decades of conservatives being against pretty much every new thing that happens.
Conservatives have always been anti progress and all about conserving what they see as traditional and making sure things in society change as little as possible. Therefore every new wave of music, every experimental and innovative and unusual movement of art, have very little chances of coming from conservatives.
That’s what I was thinking. Movements in art and literature always has progressives at the forefront.

Dave Rubin's assertion that CONSERVatism, meaning wanting to CONSERVE an older way of life, is this "cool new thing," is just proof that Dave is too smart for the rest of us to understand. My brain is still recovering.

Here is my take.
Can conservatives make good art. Sure, I think a conservative can and has made art that is atleast somewhat engaging. However usually that art is only vaguely influenced by their conservativism and it is not the main focus of the work, that usually results in bad art.
Will conservative ever drive the new cutting edge movement in art? No. Conservatives are traditionalists by nature. When you are a traditionalist you are naturally going to work within the framework of what is known, what is traditional. To create something new in art involves being transgressive. You have to push out of tradition, which conservatives aren't willing to do. Just look at Ben Shapiro and his incessant harping about how all music is a devolution of classical music
Well said

And that's a function of associated personality traits, which is not to say that conservatives can't have those traits; it's just to recognize that people who tend to hold more left-leaning positions on social and political issues tend to have higher openness to experience and thus be more creative. There are always exceptions, of course. I myself am pretty high on openness to experience and I would say that I lean right, if anything.
And yes, I am probably way more conservative than the majority of Fantano's followers. I follow mainly for the music opinions and interviews, though. I am open to discussion about political issues as long as it's civil; I promise to be civil in return; at the end of the day, we're all human and all worthy of basic respect, so that's that.

I'm happy to dig up the sheet which my tutors would use to mark my artworks against if you need a list of criteria.

Conservatives strongly identify with far left music like Rage Against the Machine etc because they care primarily about surface level aesthetics.
Song swears a lot = song is offensive = we're offensive, we're about triggering the libs
Song is angry = we're angry = song is for us
The medium is the message to them.
God, Twitter is an awful place
It really is
Yes.
Twitter is the only place we’re The Needle Drop and Dave Rubin would go at it. Two totally different UA-cam channels.
Art is and always has been, left leaning, as much as conservatives try to claim otherwise.
When so much of conservative culture is about conserving and being opposed to change in society, it is unlikely that any musically progressive or groundbreaking styles will come out of that culture. It doesn't mean conservatives can't make good music, but that music is more likely to be from an already established style or creative lane.
The problem with conservatives is that they don't invest in cultural things and entertainment. It's always the left (liberals or socialist) that has to do it.
So even if an artist has conservatives values, the ones writing his checks won't be conservatives. The ones inviting him to events won't be conservatives.
Conservatives don't value art like something that matters. It's just hobbies or childish stuff to them. And they don't encourage their descendants to get interested in art beyond academic purposes.
Lol this is actually how liberals and lefties think do conservatives? Absolutely delusional.
To be fair, even as a conservative (I'm now a right-leaning independent), I always appreciated and enjoyed output from artists that were more left-wing. Art is art. It's not a toy, and I don't see a lot of conservatives that would view it as such. There are definitely times where I feel like conservative commentators have misinterpreted/dismissed art from liberals (see Geraldo Rivera & Kendrick), but there are also conservative figures that appreciate that art (i.e. Marco Rubio, who listens to a lot of Kendrick Lamar and other artists). Is the "art is a childish hobby" objection held by some conservative groups (particularly those on the far right)? Sure. I think that's fair. Do Republicans tend to prefer older art because they tend to see social institutions and "traditional, American, Christian" values as overall positive forces that should be upheld? Probably. I'm not for that kind of viewpoint, though, and my parents and some of my friends who are conservatives aren't for that either.
I also think it's important to consider the context in which the word "conservative" is defined. You could conceivably be conservative on social and political issues and at the same time be for art and innovation, particularly if you believe that capitalism promotes and enhances those things.
I don't see a lot of right-wing rappers, though, although that's probably because most rappers are African-American and African-Americans tend to be more left-leaning than White people do. And I agree that Tom McDonald's music and the way he expresses his opinions is.....how should I say this diplomatically...not well thought-out. I also don't see any grounds for thinking conservatives would spark any more sociocultural innovations than liberals.
Massively agree, I was arguing with conservatives online who say we waste money on trivial things like arts funding (National Endowment of the Arts etc.) and I was like excuse me sir you're worried about 50 to 100 million dollars in funding for arts, what about the 660 BILLION dollar military spending lmfao

I just hate this narrative and idea that there needs to be such a thing as "the next great music" like the only music that can be great or matter has to define a generation or a cultural movement or something, else it's irrelevant. That's such a short-sided viewpoint in my eyes, there's so much great music coming out every week in basically every genre, why does there need to be "the next great music"?
BRO PREACH
its because dave doesnt actually give a damn about art or music to know
Its different now because streaming services have given underground mainstream succes. Artists like radiohead, death grips, or something like 100 gecs would never be succesful in the 80s because their succes is through the internet. Prior to the earl 2000's, people would have to buy 30-40 dollar vinyls. People were conservative when buying music
that's facts
Music is ever changing. Just look at country for example, it hasn’t changed in 20 years. Imagine if that were the case for all genres. Great unoriginal music is good, but view it like this. Imagine if apple never made a new phone, just doing the same one over and over again. It would never progress technology and we would still have using 4 inch plastic screens and bad connection. Innovation fuels progression, and the same applies for music.

I contracted various diseases from reading it. Very nice 😄

Lightly salted, just the way I like it.
Late to the party, but conservatism will almost always take something they opposed and spin it to their favor, especially musically. Rock was started by black Americans and was taken, and POPULARIZED by white Americans; same with jazz. At the time, jazz was heavily opposed and shunned, and eventually conservatives can around to it when white people made it more “tame” and mainstream. They’ll even look back on it fondly. Frank Sinatra was a wonderful singer but quite a few of his songs were covers too.
Some rock song examples are Born in the USA (made into a patriotic song) and Fortunate Son (also made into a patriotic song). You hear these during the 4th of July, and conservatives who were young either during or late into the Vietnam War+70’s look back on rock music fondly and apply their own patriotism to it years later.
No u troll
So white people helped both genres out? I don't really see the problem here
You say it as if black=leftist & white=conservative
That's very simplistic
Birth of A Nation actually paved the way for filmmaking techniques we have today. Only issue of it being an incredibly racist movie and help destroying Reconstruction Era reforms that helped black people for a little while before white people decided to destroy it all again out of fear and race mixing. Also reforming the KKK and propping up new imagery and iconography of hatred. If anything, a new cutting edge conservative movie would probably focus more on Transgender people cuz they are an easy target.
I think Birth of a Nation and D. W. Griffith's role in pioneering certain techniques has been overblown, particularly by American critics/theorists. A lot of innovation from the 1900-1910s came from the UK, Australia and France which is overlooked because of the Griffith narrative. Though Griffith was a very talented filmmaker and popularised the techniques to an extent.
Griffith is still very important, if Birth of a Nation hadn't featured such good parallel montage without a doubt Star Wars wouldn't have used it and it wouldn't still be popular today, but he's not an innovator like Edwin S. Porter or Sergei Eisenstein (though no doubt both could be considered conservative by today's standards).
Influential sure, but would you call it a good movie?
I would add Alice Guy also as one of the most important and underrated filmakers of all time. Plus she is considered as the first woman in film making.
The best part is “facts don’t care about your feelings” and these are facts. No conservative has ever made good, worthy art. They don’t know how
lmao the one conservative in the chat being like "actually yeah it's true we don't make good art" and the other ones around him trying to cope
Bit of an extreme stance, there are some genuinely affecting works of art that I've seen from conservative leaning people. But definitely not from hard-core conservatives. And the "conservative artists" that get huge are usually a marketable pastiche of existing art movements.
His stance is more in regards to being on the cutting edge rather than making any sort of decent art, I think. Which I think is a completely fair stance given the inherent nature of conservatism being more concerned with keeping the status quo, it makes sense that most cutting edge and innovative stuff would more likely come from those that aren't very right-leaning. Doesn't mean a conservative person can't make something decent or even great, it's just very likely it'll be in a similar style of something that came before it.

Whist I don’t want to dismiss or excuse racism, one can’t negate the fact that conservatism was quite different in the 1920s/30s than it is now.

Being conservative in politics doesn't mean someone is conservative in making art. Art may contain political themes, but art is ultimately not political in itself. Fantano overlooks that distinction. Rubin is talking about political correctness that stands in the way of artistic freedom and idiosyncrasy. Too bad to see such simple souls in the comment section who think that being politically conservative means that one cannot innovate in art.
Finally, I thought I was the only one seeing this distinction. Most of if not all conservatives are conserving a system of values, not the way music sounded at one point (although there's a a few examples of classical elitists). Most cons are for different and new types of *music*. I also thought it was interesting he didn't touch on like gospel music (which influences many artists today like Chance and Kanye), Christian metal, and the christian music movement as a whole. It's been going on since at least the 70s
Jpegmafia is my favorite conservative artist. “Beta Male Strategies” really helped me stand up to bullies in the cafeteria and “Veteran” is awesome because it’s about the vets baby.

Lmaoooo. Conservative, pretty much *by definition*, means you're not interesting, creative, or open-minded. I think the not being fun part has more to do with the religion or abstinence shit.
You can’t have fun unless you partake in drugs alcohol or hookups?
@@rebeccalassetter1726 No, but you can't be fun if you constantly judge other people, believe that your way of life is the only pure one and are not open minded towards any change or new experiences. Conservatism by definition is defending the status quo or some rose tinted idea of the past, and is therefore not fun or interesting. You can not be interesting if you don't do anything new or never done before and don't want to be different from the norm.

I understand what fantano is saying but I completely agree with you

You can't make good art when your worldview is centered around trying to preserve the past and prevent the future. Especially when it's a misunderstanding of the past.
these right wing accounts always spam "the left can't meme" and "snowflakes" when they are the ones constantly raging and getting offended lol
bruh my thoughts exactly, they seem so unhappy over everything 24/7
Nah, it’s just a very dumb statement which can be proven false easily.
Liberals get just as offended as conservatives. I’d argue they’re loud and obnoxious, if not more so than conservatives in my experience.

"conservatives are not fun, creative, smart, empathetic or interesting" - Anthony
The chat then proceeds to name dozens of conservative creatives
Anthony then tries to handwave all of them as not "really" conservative, or if he can't do that, says they're trash/not influencial
Look Anthony, I'm not a conservative nor am I rooting for them, but it's not a good argument to suggest an entire segment of the world can't produce any creatives at all. This is just a bad hill to die on.
The "empathy" thing especially haha. I mean saying this massive group of people are unable to feel empathy or whatever he was trying to get at. Like what the hell how does that make you empathetic Melon. I dunno this whole situation is just not the most fun thing to interact with.

Hearing Dave Ruben say conservatives are "fun and interesting" is so idiotic. The very fact that you have to say it speaks volumes. Any given random trans person on the internet has more creativity than 80% of conservatives
80% is such a low bar lmfao
@@thechatter7102it's more like 99%. I see groundbreaking, mind-bending creativity and artistic passion from people on the internet and in person on the regular. I have, without exaggeration, never seen any of these artists and later realized they are conservative. They truly are the most boring and cookie cutter people alive
Not sure if this point has been made already, but the approach of responding to commenters individual examples isn’t even necessary. When we say no good music comes from conservatism, we shouldn’t mean ‘no individual conservative is capable of making good music’. We should instead mean that conservative culture doesn’t catalyze new waves in music that are successful beyond a niche level. So the conservatives mentioned by commenters who do have good output and riding within a waves which did not originate because of people with their mindset.
Wait until Melon says something about Vic Mignonga, that would be fun
If conservatives were in control of the music industry we'd still be making nothing but boring peasant hymns

I appreciate him clarifying the tweet, because the wording on that tweet was bad. I generally agree with Fantano's take but the way you say it matters. I can't assess Anthony's character since I don't know him personally, but to me it came across just as elitist as Dave Rubin did. I might just be speaking for myself, but elitism grinds my gears more than any political ideology.
If ''elitism'' about one's opinions grinds your gear more than straight up hateful speech, you are just being complicit with it.
@@XiaosuRCT I'm totally with you on not being OK with hate of any kind -- I think that's the number one problem in our country right now to be completely honest. Elitism never solves that problem, though. That's one part of what frustrates me so much about elitism -- it takes the attention off of people suffering and puts it onto ourselves and our opinions.
I hope that clarifies where I was coming from a bit. Let me know if not!
The issue isn't individual, it's about the subjects. A conservative can obviously make a good music about something like, let's say, mourning, but a conservative won't come out with a piece of music that actually revolutionizes the sound and or breaks any social barriers, mostly because those same social barriers that historically great musicians have been breaking are mostly built on conservatism .
It's not an elitist opinion, it's just one that hurts for how truthful it is. The values themselves contradict a lot. not everything, of what usually makes music ''great''
@@XiaosuRCT totally agree! Conservatives, because of their values, are more likely to stay within genre conventions rather than push them, so yeah most of the cutting-edge music out there is going to be by liberals who statistically are far more open-minded and accepting of difference.
So Anthony's opinion wasn't elitist at all I found, once he explained it, which I'm glad he did. I more meant, in my original comment, that the way that he phrased it came off as elitist.
Also, my opinions about elitism are more about elitism as a whole, rather than in the context of music.
@@XiaosuRCT The majority of what most people find intriguing in most music, or what deems some music better than other music, in their eyes, rarely is centered around breaking significant social barriers, versus other themes and technical aspects, overall. I get the vibe you’re A BIT oversimplifying by way of maybe basing this around your own personal taste, or just putting a little too much faith in the idea that you know what everybody’s thinking. Obviously what’s “good” is subjective, but it almost seems like you’re implying that putting increased value on music based on social disturbance is more of a general consensus than it is. There’s TONS of music not in that category, and we don’t exactly know what goes on in famous musicians’/artists’ heads. There’s also a much higher likelihood of a musician who’s conservative, whether slightly in some ways or extremely, to not make such obvious.
A lot of socially conscious art/music is just so god awfully corny too lol. There’s plenty of music about love, “mourning”, and more universally accepted themes that are infinitely better.
I agree that “good” art definitely, obviously, sways Left, and heavily so in what I’d probably consider “top tier” art. Especially today.
Conservative means to conserve. The opposit of progress. The boring people afraid of change.
this is one of those things i get really frustrated with my fellow lefties, is they will present a very bold, but obviously wrong take, and walk it back for ages until it kinda makes sense. the thing that kills me here is there's a lot of value to this tweet, and it's so easily phrased, but he decided to write an absolute that "conservatives cannot makes good music." yall make sure your takes, especially your good ones, have a good foundation. cuz it's so easy to read this, think of Kiss, and yee haw back to the conservative pipeline picking up 0 new information.
Not to mention entire eras of folk and country music
I mean if you think of KISS as great art your opinions arent really worth respecting anyways
@@keithbrown8982 hey! they have like 1 good song or so.

@@starmanda88 Hypocrite much??
Fantano’s gonna hurt his own feelings assuming his favorite artists share his political beliefs🤣
At the height of his popularity Garth Brooks released the lead single of his next album: We Shall Be Free "when we're free to love anyone we choose, when this world's big enough for all different views, when we all can worship from our own kind of pew...when the last thing we notice is the color of skin, when the skies and the oceans are clean again"
I dunno what his political beliefs are now but I'll always respect him for this. He received blowback from country radio. I was a kid, who didn't understand why grownups had any problem with such beautiful sentiments.
"In olden days a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking but now lord knows, anything goes" 🎶 conservative music
You dismiss Eric Clapton by saying he was washed by Hendrix??? You could say that about any guitarist.
Right like Chuck Berry was “washed” by Eric Clapton but nobody’s denying his innovations
“Here I go being the main character again” Please put that on a t-shirt 😂
this is exactly the kind of content I want to see on the fantano channel. perfection.
Tell ‘em Tony !!
Love your music lemmy, even though it stinks
It’d be hard for a conservative artist to make anything because they would only make something that would “only just work” and never try to make something new, interesting, challenging, fun etc. Also, the target audience for a core fan base is younger people. Conservatives are so critical of young people so they don’t have guts to understand or make art for them
Like when you hear them say "bring back real music"
Well, I dunno about music, but Yukio Mishima is in fact one of my favorite authors ever. And the guy was a crazy militaristic fascist but was such an interesting character as a whole.
But also homosexual…. I also don’t believe he was crazy and definitely not fascist (he was friends with non-Japanese, a couple of these people he worked with to translate his works into English). I think you mean nationalist, a stance he did try to portray. But he loved to be in the spotlight and at that time in Japan the nationalistic views he took was not popular, which made that spotlight brighter. Another reason I don’t believe he was truly nationalistic is that his house was decorated with European items/furniture and his love for non Japanese art, The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian was an important one to him. As to the militaristic side (his idea to have a private army was influenced by a European writer), he felt guilty for not dying in world war 2 and believed he could recreate events that would allow him to die as he wished (somewhat mirrored in Runaway Horses and mentioned in Sun and Steel).
Anyways.. I could go and on (studied him and his writings for five years. Actually met people who knew him when I lived in Japan which blew my mind) But I won’t.
@@Reverend_Nada you know what? You're right. Calling him a "fascist" is reductive & I apologize.
@@mjuzumaki is good to come across another Mishima fan! Funnily enough, I learned about him in my Japanese class 20 years ago when a fellow student mentioned a writer “who was crazy and committed seppuku”
@@faust8218 I didn’t say it did and nor did I say he was left wing. The only reason I brought it up is, at that time, gay and fascism did not mix (and still mostly doesn’t). Not to say that there aren’t gay fascists … and his public image he pushed the nationalist image, but his lifestyle (not the gay lifestyle) was in conflict with that image.
Mishima was such an interesting character, he lead a very conflicted life and I feel like the tensions created by his views vs how he chose to live influenced his writing. Most definitely a great conservative artist, but I feel like the beauty of his work is more a result of the ambiguity in his feelings than the conservative views themselves.
Coming from a left winger, I find your take very wrong. I don't think political opinions have anything to do with someone's talent. I'm from Italy and a lot of great artists I love, and by great I mean like industry changing levels of influence, were openly and proudly rightists. Of course I don't agree with whatever political views they have but their music remains fucking great
Conservatives are always a decade behind
i just think the statement was stupid.
Kanye West's political ideology: "yes"
yes
KANYE WEST MUSIC SUCKS. BUT IT ISNT HIS FAULT. ITS HIS RESTRAINT.
as a democrat it makes 0 sense to categorize someone’s creativity off of their political party.
Who cares
Did you even watch the video??
conservative is not a political party. He did not say republicans, he said conservative. Conservatism is an ideology in defense of the status quo and tradition. By definition no new sounds will come from conservatism, as they dont like new shit.
a little narcissistic to consider yourself “the main character” after calling like a third of the country not fun, smart, interesting, and empathetic. Luckily that third probably doesn’t know who is, and wouldn’t care about the tweet at all and would laugh at fantano thinking he made a dent in anyone’s confidence, with this inflated sense of self-importance. I don’t even disagree with Fantano completely, conservatives value tradition so by definition innovation is less likely, but it’s funny how he sees this as a battle he should be fighting lol
Conservatism rotted your brain so hard you?can't even get basic sarcasm.
Thanks for proving his point. Y
