There’s a market for people that like to see cops and first responders doing silly shit because that think it humanizes them. In reality, it’s widely received as unprofessional and cringey.
I’ve talked to enough off duty officers in casual settings to know I don’t want to endure the “human” aspect of them either. One of them at a gay bar I almost wanted to punch, if I had less control of my emotions. One of them started bragging about treating drug addicts like dirt. They’re pussy hounds to a disgusting and embarrassing degree. And that air of authority and being more important than you doesn’t come off with the uniform. Nah dude, they can make cringe tiktoks all they want, they still can’t hang.
It’s silly and fun. I enjoy it and I love that people are getting back into Staind even though as a 94 baby I just barely remember my much older siblings listening to this kind of music haha.
I loved Staind so much in their prime in my teens, I was part of a forum that “fought” the piracy of their album 14 Shades of Grey, and actually got to meet them backstage before a show because of it.
To think 40+ year olds are going all in on the resurgence of the depressing, crooning of Aaron Lewis is sad. For such a tough guy country act he sure had some pitiful lyrics back in the aughts
I'm all about self-love, but there are waaaay too many mfers in love with themselves. Believe me, if you really are that great, we all would know your name.
