about

Because of social media, marginalised folk can express themselves in a way that was not possible before. That means shitty behaviour, comments & remarks don’t fly like they used to. This applies to not only the wealthy or industry leaders but anyone whose privilege has historically shielded them from public scrutiny. Because such people can’t handle this cultural shift, they propagate phrases like “cancel culture” to delegitimise criticism. Also, follow the money.

tl;dr “ha ha hellsite bird splat blue”

lyrics

Cancel Culture
(Words & Music Claire Foxx)

Welcome to the new world order.
Take your chances, nothing’s free
Y’all got wise learn to victimise, then
play the victim perfectly.
Leverage money, power & fame
In a online name-blame game of shame
Then, you cried wolf and you had to complain
…It’s always been the same.

Well you can’t sell culture,
without a cancel culture
— It’s so plain to see that you...
Are the ones who need us to
Buy your culture,
your all culture vultures
Try to play king for a day
I just wish you’d go away.
Hey!

You tried to delegitimise
You hate & openly despise
You built your empire high on lies
— but every tower falls.
What once was a way for us to say
“You’re not gonna have it all your way”
Becomes a back-stab grab to drag it back
— it’s all been done before.

Welcome now to the new world order
Place your bets now, nothings free
Overdrawn in an open letter
In the attention-span economy
Grift your ideas, be the headlines
Work & maximise the likes
The hate you make & concern you fake
Y’all all living on borrowed time.

Well you can’t sell culture, in a cancel culture
Play the victim for a day, then
be the first to shout foul play.
well you can’t sell culture,
You’re just a culture vulture
- Smirking all the while
with a sound bite, and a smile.

You try and hide behind defences
No opposition or consequences
Not used to taking criticism
For viewpoints that you hold.
Here today, now gone tomorrow
We sniffed you out as rotten
You blew it all, one day forgotten
Yeah that’s the way it goes.

Well You can’t sell culture,
without a cancel culture
We see what you’re trying to do
— cos you make your living to
Sell more culture
you’re just a culture vulture
Be king for just a day
Then you threw it all away
Hey!

Welcome now to the new world order
Take your things and go!
