using a ref is not bad (i draw too), you shouldn't feel bad bc you don't remember how to draw a fucking horse (is a exageraded example but i hope you got it)
@@blueberry9878 lmao its so funny I forgot about this post but yeah I'm way better at drawing now ref is a big help but I don't rely on it as much as I used to
this song is kinda... parts of it are relatable. all my grandparents are immigrants from different countries but my parents didn't pass down any traditions or languages. so when I meet people who have this personal connection to their heritage it makes me feel like I have something missing. I've got no culture. so that's what this song means to me. even if I claimed a culture it wouldn't actually be mine.
Rachel Gross Canada we don't have a homogeneous culture here most Canadians can say "my family's Ukrainian" or Zimbabwean or Russian or Aboriginal etc and it means something. they have traditions and a worldview that is coloured by those cultural connections, I don't.
What is your favorite food then? What is a saying that is commonly said in your are? Example. I am from the South area of the United States. We conjugate you all as y'all. Its part of our culture. Its something we say that nobody else says around the world except in certain areas such as the west, midwest, and areas in the north with large populations of southern migrants. The indian immigrants in the south say y'all, the asian immigrants say y'all and the hispanic immigrants say y'all, because we share the southern culture. Think of a phrase think of a food, think of your country. Everything around you is culture. Do you take your shoes off before walking into someone's house?
“I want to love you, I want to make you mine. We’ll make a child out of your culture, Ive got no culture” still wishing to dedicate this song to your mum?
As a Canadian, the "I've got no culture" has an extra bit of depth. The culture I have basically boils down to "The USA but more polite", Canada is a very young and... non-populated? Undeveloped? I dunno, where people live is pretty developed, but there is a lot of places where people just don't live because development hasn't quite reached there yet. Especially in the west, my local culture is one or two hundred years old at best, contrast that with the Irish culture of my ancestors, and the Norse ancestors of theirs, my culture is completely borrowed and fake. Might be the meaning behind the whole "I'm like a kid in a candy store" line too, just a cultural mosaic... Though tbh it's not a bad thing at all, I would just like an ancestral culture of my own is all, not just an identity based on general acceptance and being a decent human being, though again I suppose that's not a bad thing at all either. Am I experiencing a first world problem? I thought I was too poor for that...
I relate so much to this song- I've grown up moving around my entire life. Never stayed in one place for more than a few years. China, america, singapore, thailand. I never got to stay in one place long enough to *get* a culture and I feel out of place wherever I go.
I didn't like this album at first because I felt as if it drifted away from their early.. more "campy" style. But tbh,, these are some of the best songs I've heard. I still kinda like their older stuff better though.
as a person who lives in a very conservative country and has always tried to cling to the idea of moving to other more progressive places, this one hits hard
@@the_sky_is_blue_and_so_am_I theres no need to put on yourself labels like “masculine” and “feminine” if you are a girl theres nothing wrong in “being too masculine” and vice versa. society needs to cut down their gender roles and just let people be themselves, do what they love and dont shame them because they dont fit in patriarchal gender stereotypes :)

Born in russia, raised in czech republic, and now moved to a scandanavian country, makes life interesting but i feel i will never truly belong anywhere. Researching my own cultures and trying to keep a connection with them certainly feels like taking something thats not mine. Lucky me, my most favouritest band provided me with a banger song that describes these feelings, wether that was the intent or not, thank you! ;-;
***Edit 2023: I wrote this quite a while ago when I was young without really knowing what I was talking about. I in no way intended to encourage cultural appropriation and I apologize if my words harmed anyone in any way. I didn't understand the feeling of being in between different worlds/identities, or feeling like one has no culture, back then, but I have learned a lot more about different people's experiences and have come to experience some of that feeling myself since then. It can definitely hurt or be confusing, and I know I don't even experience it to nearly the same degree as many people do. I am not a professional or expert on this in any way so I can't give advice on how to cope with feeling like a racial imposter or like you don't belong to any culture/identity, but cultural appropriation and claiming things as your own which aren't is not okay. You can enjoy media and food from other cultures, but it can't always be part of your personal culture. I've read talking to a mental health professional may help one cope with issues related to race and culture, and that talking to your family (if you want to and if you can safely do so) and learning more about your roots can also help. I'll leave the original comment for historical reasons for now. I wish everyone a good journey. **Original comment 2018: I just want to say something to everyone saying they have "no culture": Hey, everything "original" is a mish-mash of "stolen" parts from other things. Every work of art, of literature, of anything (every culture!), has inspiration drawn from other things. Creative works are made from memories, from emotions, from ideas--you can't have any of those things without having used other things not yours to get them. You can't have a memory without something to remember. You can't have emotions without things to feel emotions for. You can't have ideas without brain wiring and memories and emotions from different sources. Pick your favorite foods. Pick your favorite music. Pick your favorite style(s) of dress. Create your own culture because culture is free.
That's completely true outside of this context. Culture, however, requires far more than one person to work with it. You can't have an individual culture. You can have your own originality but not a culture exclusive to you.
@@alyssahansen1400 Hmm... I see what you mean. Yeah, I _did_ use "culture" as a symbol (or whatever a better word for it might be) in this comment; looking the definition up, I see my definition doesn't fit the word's denotation.
i love this song. my interpretation of the lyrics would be rejecting the harmful culture one has grown up in in order to create something better with other people, even though still being influenced by their past experiences. i know its not what they meant to convey but i can relate!!
yall : having great interpretations of this song, relating to it. me : so, white people edit, since ppl didnt understand this cmnt : i’m not saying that white ppl dont have culture lmao, the song lyrics itself refer to a lot more than simply having ‘no culture.’ the lyrics seem to describe culture appropriation which everyone knows white ppl (especially americans) do the most. also, the annotations on genius lyrics describe this song as referring to culture appropriation and americans (: this isnt an opinion i alone have.
Well, some white groups have culture; Aussies have sports and the outback, the English have tea and their posh attitudes, and I guess Americans have... De Cheese Burger and internal political warfare and anger issues? XD
It really sucks not having culture, my ancestors are immigrants so I’m mixed of a lot of ethnicities. My great grandparents where immigrants from Poland so I’m 1/4 polish, but I honestly don’t think that counts. I really wish I had culture
If you’ve played burnout it might be this ua-cam.com/video/9rZ9X_QvIlQ/v-deo.html The riff is different and a different overall tempo but the same rhythm. I love both so
The amount of people who still don't get that this is about Cultural appropriation is hilarious. "I am a vulture, I fly, I make a circle above your culture" Ah yes, Like when North American Settlers almost killed off all the Natives, and picked what was left of their civilization for what they found pretty and usable/sellable. "I'm like a kid in a candy store, Taking all the toffee that I don't ask for" Okay, so like How white people just are like "I'm gonna dress up as this extremely culturally important thing even if it insults an entire culture because I think it looks neat." "I'm like a bull in a china shop, Knocking off a knock-off" Ah Yes, a Knock-off of a Knock-off, sort of how we see cultures to the east, how our idea of china is a parody of a parody. "Everyone Believes me when I say it's mine" We've bastardized things to the point people have forgotten we stole it from someone else. Like Christmas and Easter.
Honestly this is relatable bc I am half filipino half American, however my mom grew up in Hawaii so I am more influenced from Midwestern and hawaiian culture. I feel like a fake anytime I make filipino food or anything like that. I also feel fake when I dance hula with my mom and make hawaiian food.
Don't choose to end it yet, things don't happen for an existential reason. The only reason is choice, compatibility and causality. There may be an alternative dimension where you are still with her. You are not in that dimension. Live your best life; find esteem in something else. She is probably doing the same. If it helps write poetry and art about it.
No way this song is 6 years old man. God, I remember when this first came out to hype up their newest album "No Culture". I was 11 and just getting into MM. I turned 17 yesterday and don't know how to feel about it. Life is weird.
i'm really disappointed in this comment section. you guys can't enjoy a good song without fighting with each other and saying awful things to each other? it's disgusting.
Hey alright Hey alright I am a vulture, I fly I make a circle above your culture I got no culture of mine I am piranha, I bite I make a supper outta your culture I got no culture And I'm like a kid in a candy store Taking all the toffee that I don't ask for, yeah I'm like a bull in a china shop Knocking off a knock-off 'Cause I got no culture I got no culture of mine So can we let sleeping dogs lie 'Cause everyone believes me when I say it's mine A little wool over the eyes 'Cause everyone believes me when I- I want to love ya, I want to make ya mine We make a child outta your culture It got no culture And I'm like a kid in a candy store Taking all the toffee that I don't ask for, yeah I'm like a bull in a china shop Knocking off a knock-off 'Cause I got no culture I got no culture of mine So can we let sleeping dogs lie 'Cause everyone believes me when I say it's mine A little wool over the eyes 'Cause everyone believes me when I say it's fine Can we let sleeping dogs lie 'Cause everyone believes me when I- No culture I got no culture No culture I got no culture No culture I got no culture No culture I got no culture I'm like a kid in a candy store (No culture I got no culture) Taking all the toffee that I don't ask for, yeah (No culture I got no culture) I'm like a bull in a china shop (No culture I got no culture) Knocking off a knock-off (No culture I got no culture) 'Cause I got no culture I got no culture I got no culture of mine So can we let sleeping dogs lie 'Cause everyone believes me when I say it's mine A little wool over the eyes 'Cause everyone believes me when I say it's fine (No culture I got no culture) Can we let sleeping dogs lie (No culture I got no culture) 'Cause everyone believes me when it's mine (No culture I got no culture) A little wool over the eyes (No culture I got no culture) 'Cause everyone believes me when I- No culture I got no culture No culture I got no culture No culture I got no culture No culture I got no culture No culture I got no culture No culture I got no culture
A lot of people are saying this song is about cultural appropriation, but I personally think it’s more about colonialism itself, like, the actual historical period when colonizers came in and destroyed all these different cultures. The lines about being a piranha, being a bull in a china shop, make me think this song is written from the point of view of a colonizer as he decimates this culture and steals the things he likes about it while erasing everything else. There’s also the lines “we make a child out of your culture, it got no culture”, which make me think of the half-native children who were born after colonizers raped their native mothers, and were born into a world where their mothers’ culture has been stolen and commodified. I don’t know, that interpretation makes this song more interesting to me.
The official Hipster anthem! But seriously, I feel like pretty much all of us are just borrowing portions of ourselves from portions of others... I can relate to this song. Wish I couldn't.

I love their songs so much! Does anyone know where I can buy them? I usually buy my music over Google music but the ones that came out in 2017 are not available on there. I bought their other songs though. I wonder why these specifically aren't on Google music 🤔
Am I the only one who is glad they don’t have “culture”.a lot of people’s culture ties them down and they can’t seem to realize we live in modern times
Someone had to do it....

Tell me I'm not the only one who thought there was going to be a guttural at minute 2:07 I just thought the part after the whisper was going to be more impactful. honestly I would love to hear a heavier version of this song.
This band surely deserves lots of followers. None of their songs disappoints me...I could spend my whole life just listening to Mother Mother and I'd be perfectly happy and satisfied!
i just adore the way he says "piranha"

This just makes me think of how American culture is like 80% indigenous culture, just beaten and stolen.
this song is kinda... parts of it are relatable. all my grandparents are immigrants from different countries but my parents didn't pass down any traditions or languages. so when I meet people who have this personal connection to their heritage it makes me feel like I have something missing. I've got no culture. so that's what this song means to me. even if I claimed a culture it wouldn't actually be mine.

Born in russia, raised in czech republic, and now moved to a scandanavian country, makes life interesting but i feel i will never truly belong anywhere. Researching my own cultures and trying to keep a connection with them certainly feels like taking something thats not mine. Lucky me, my most favouritest band provided me with a banger song that describes these feelings, wether that was the intent or not, thank you! ;-;
im hypnotized by these ink clouds
***Edit 2023: I wrote this quite a while ago when I was young without really knowing what I was talking about. I in no way intended to encourage cultural appropriation and I apologize if my words harmed anyone in any way. I didn't understand the feeling of being in between different worlds/identities, or feeling like one has no culture, back then, but I have learned a lot more about different people's experiences and have come to experience some of that feeling myself since then. It can definitely hurt or be confusing, and I know I don't even experience it to nearly the same degree as many people do. I am not a professional or expert on this in any way so I can't give advice on how to cope with feeling like a racial imposter or like you don't belong to any culture/identity, but cultural appropriation and claiming things as your own which aren't is not okay. You can enjoy media and food from other cultures, but it can't always be part of your personal culture. I've read talking to a mental health professional may help one cope with issues related to race and culture, and that talking to your family (if you want to and if you can safely do so) and learning more about your roots can also help. I'll leave the original comment for historical reasons for now. I wish everyone a good journey.
**Original comment 2018:
I just want to say something to everyone saying they have "no culture":
Hey, everything "original" is a mish-mash of "stolen" parts from other things. Every work of art, of literature, of anything (every culture!), has inspiration drawn from other things. Creative works are made from memories, from emotions, from ideas--you can't have any of those things without having used other things not yours to get them. You can't have a memory without something to remember. You can't have emotions without things to feel emotions for. You can't have ideas without brain wiring and memories and emotions from different sources.
Pick your favorite foods. Pick your favorite music. Pick your favorite style(s) of dress. Create your own culture because culture is free.
I love this, and I wish more people knew
this is honestly the most beautiful thing
That's completely true outside of this context. Culture, however, requires far more than one person to work with it. You can't have an individual culture. You can have your own originality but not a culture exclusive to you.
@@alyssahansen1400 Hmm... I see what you mean. Yeah, I _did_ use "culture" as a symbol (or whatever a better word for it might be) in this comment; looking the definition up, I see my definition doesn't fit the word's denotation.
A Peridot true
i love this song. my interpretation of the lyrics would be rejecting the harmful culture one has grown up in in order to create something better with other people, even though still being influenced by their past experiences.
i know its not what they meant to convey but i can relate!!
Wow, that's a cool interpretation of the lyrics! Hadn't thought of it that way
YES
me writing lore for my fantasy world
yall : having great interpretations of this song, relating to it.
me : so, white people
edit, since ppl didnt understand this cmnt : i’m not saying that white ppl dont have culture lmao, the song lyrics itself refer to a lot more than simply having ‘no culture.’ the lyrics seem to describe culture appropriation which everyone knows white ppl (especially americans) do the most.
also, the annotations on genius lyrics describe this song as referring to culture appropriation and americans (: this isnt an opinion i alone have.
I mean...yeah.
white people have culture loll and not all culture is race assigned, leave
Well, some white groups have culture; Aussies have sports and the outback, the English have tea and their posh attitudes, and I guess Americans have... De Cheese Burger and internal political warfare and anger issues? XD
white people have culture, not all of us are american :)
@@ashleighchambers8468 Yeah american culture is
That cute fish remind me "Oh my Heart".
The way he says “piranha” has me just like smiling at my screen like lunatic
White Americans be like
*This song is too underrated but atleast tiktok hasn’t ruined it*
unpopular opinion: tiktok doesn’t ruin things just because it makes them popular
@Jianna Bielby it doesn’t exactly ruin them, but it _does_ attract the wrong crowd
Oh crap, here comes the shit head who thinks songs get "ruined" when people use them in an app
@ I can tell you use TikTok lmao
@@jiannabielby434 It 100% ruins songs

i love ur moosik
foshy fush
So,,, I'm interested to know the meaning of the songs but I can't quite figure it out
did this drop at a reasonable hour for anyone??? it's 1:30 in the morning rn and i can't not listen
Addy Robbins was at night for me, not sure what time hut I was snoring in bed already
The chorus sounds like 2000s early 2010s radio rock and that make me happy
It really sucks not having culture, my ancestors are immigrants so I’m mixed of a lot of ethnicities. My great grandparents where immigrants from Poland so I’m 1/4 polish, but I honestly don’t think that counts. I really wish I had culture
I'm obsessed with this song, it's so goood
what if this is just about a guy who forgot to buy yogurt
my mixed self crying to this song at 3am ;)
Venom is just casually in the background chillin
My sister said he sounded like sponge bob so now that’s in my head.
Every time I listen to this song always feels like the first time, simply amazing! And the drums wooow!!
is it just me or does this song sound awfully familiar?
Zacharie Masseau "I like the way" by Bodyrockers, maybe?
I found out this was by them and I was shocked cuse I first heard it on the radio and well I wouldn't have thought it was them
If you’ve played burnout it might be this

You guys are stepping up your music game

I got no culture of mine, I am *Corona*

oof
The amount of people who still don't get that this is about Cultural appropriation is hilarious.
"I am a vulture, I fly, I make a circle above your culture" Ah yes, Like when North American Settlers almost killed off all the Natives, and picked what was left of their civilization for what they found pretty and usable/sellable. "I'm like a kid in a candy store, Taking all the toffee that I don't ask for" Okay, so like How white people just are like "I'm gonna dress up as this extremely culturally important thing even if it insults an entire culture because I think it looks neat." "I'm like a bull in a china shop, Knocking off a knock-off" Ah Yes, a Knock-off of a Knock-off, sort of how we see cultures to the east, how our idea of china is a parody of a parody. "Everyone Believes me when I say it's mine" We've bastardized things to the point people have forgotten we stole it from someone else. Like Christmas and Easter.
This song is about white ppl that culturally appropriate I think
@@eliseramirez2493 it sounds like it, the lyrics and the title
every song from mother mother is amazing, not one bad song!!
*iYA-IYA-IYA-AAAAAY*
Im losing my mind these drums are so damn good
Honestly this is relatable bc I am half filipino half American, however my mom grew up in Hawaii so I am more influenced from Midwestern and hawaiian culture. I feel like a fake anytime I make filipino food or anything like that. I also feel fake when I dance hula with my mom and make hawaiian food.

My girlfriend and I just broke up. This song helps. I still want to die
Hang in there man. Everything happens for a reason. She wasn't meant for you. plenty of fish in the sea. Don't sweat it :-)
Scarlett Luger Same situation. Don't give up it's tough, just go cry and eat ice cream. Everything will be over soon :)
MacKenzie Gibson is that you ?
Don't choose to end it yet, things don't happen for an existential reason. The only reason is choice, compatibility and causality. There may be an alternative dimension where you are still with her. You are not in that dimension. Live your best life; find esteem in something else. She is probably doing the same. If it helps write poetry and art about it.

>when your yogurt is too runny
No way this song is 6 years old man. God, I remember when this first came out to hype up their newest album "No Culture". I was 11 and just getting into MM. I turned 17 yesterday and don't know how to feel about it. Life is weird.
i'm really disappointed in this comment section. you guys can't enjoy a good song without fighting with each other and saying awful things to each other? it's disgusting.

??????you left a comment saying this song was about 'white people'. Lol takes your own advice
I’ve hardly found any discourse wyd

Basic liquid elements, camera pans, reverse footage, fades, a 3D modeled piranha... yeah this is interesting to say the least.
Every time I listen to this song always feels like the first time, simply amazing! And the drums wooow!!

i can see this as a credits song in a movie
yessss, fuck me up 💙
weirdly cool XD sounds like you are having fun
Oheck
yo is this the fish from o my heart because
A lot of people are saying this song is about cultural appropriation, but I personally think it’s more about colonialism itself, like, the actual historical period when colonizers came in and destroyed all these different cultures. The lines about being a piranha, being a bull in a china shop, make me think this song is written from the point of view of a colonizer as he decimates this culture and steals the things he likes about it while erasing everything else. There’s also the lines “we make a child out of your culture, it got no culture”, which make me think of the half-native children who were born after colonizers raped their native mothers, and were born into a world where their mothers’ culture has been stolen and commodified. I don’t know, that interpretation makes this song more interesting to me.
This song is so lit I can't stop listening
I'm crying. It's here.
Water like all cat look cute and all but that is either a wild cat with that look, or damn that cat looks old as hell
this is for my ex-friend, she was more mean and heavy than marichocho
Omg just realized this was uploaded on my birthday!!
Tenor sax Flavored bread Happy late birthday m8
The official Hipster anthem! But seriously, I feel like pretty much all of us are just borrowing portions of ourselves from portions of others... I can relate to this song. Wish I couldn't.

I would make me some home-made yogurt, but I got no culture...
People think this song is about cultural appropriation but I don't think it is just reading Ryan's commentary on the album. you can read the first part on Exclaims article if you're curious about the meaning - just search mother mother no culture or click this link { exclaim.ca/music/article/mother_mother_announce_no_culture_lp_premiere_the_drugs
That's the thing about art, it's up for interpretation! 😊
It is about cultural appropriation. It's not a coincidence, trust me.
well, maybe not, but it seems so blindingly obvious I'd be surprised if that's unintentional.

FUCK YEAH. I LOVE MOTHER MOTHER SONGS.
I love their songs so much! Does anyone know where I can buy them? I usually buy my music over Google music but the ones that came out in 2017 are not available on there. I bought their other songs though. I wonder why these specifically aren't on Google music 🤔
Strange
Am I the only one who is glad they don’t have “culture”.a lot of people’s culture ties them down and they can’t seem to realize we live in modern times
Scottish people when English took over:
omg guys it's the fish from O My Heart! I was wondering how it's been after all these years 🥰 (/joke)

I really want to see them tooooo
They came to Seattle last October. They were incredible!

Let me know if anything is wrong so i can fix it☺
Jesus i was listening to this at 3 am and i still can't stop listening to it. Nobody help me. This is the what i want played at my funeral.
I thought it was a garbage bag so I just found out it was a fish
Tell me I'm not the only one who thought there was going to be a guttural at minute 2:07 I just thought the part after the whisper was going to be more impactful. honestly I would love to hear a heavier version of this song.
This band surely deserves lots of followers. None of their songs disappoints me...I could spend my whole life just listening to Mother Mother and I'd be perfectly happy and satisfied!
mother mother deserves much more recognition
