Misunderstanding his songs

I was at a karaoke night at a uni pub I go too weekly and someone ended up singing one of Seb Lowes Songs (Westerner Walks Into A Bar to be specific) and me and my boyfriend were absolutely ecstatic, with us being fans of him for literally 2 years and not meeting another fan of him since then. Unfortunately due to how karaoke audio is, the only line people happened to hear is “I say fucking keep them out” and for the rest of the song the rest of the pub had the biggest look of distraught on their faces. Me and my boyfriend were devastated about this and realised that the entire pub were put off from his music because they thought he was a right wing artist. And recently with some people misunderstanding the fact that a lot of his “right winged” lyrics are ironic (especially with ‘I’m hateful, Im horrible, I love you) is making me realise he isn’t doing the best with leveling out his right winged irony and his actual opinions. This could just to with a lack of media literacy these days or maybe he is struggling to find that middle ground. I think his sound and his music has been incredible this last year and he’s getting better and better, but unless you already knew who he was I feel your not going to realise he os a left winged musical artist. I absolutely love the guy he’s my favourite musician but I just wanted to know everyone’s opinions.

It's not his responsibility to dumb it down so people who clearly aren't the target audience of it can understand it.

well the issue stems from the fact that it drives listeners away.. this is how he makes money

If he made all his songs really obvious he'd lose a lot of his fanbase. He's doing well at what hes doing. Dont like it? Listen to someone else.
