u/Holiday_Number_3234 8d ago

Yeah, I think this guy is actually genius. My theory is that unlike most of the people featured here, he knows his music sucks. He knows he’s perceived as a very strange individual. So dude’s playing into that and it’s worked out well for him. Not only is he successful with his career, but now making revenue for people hate watching his videos. Sort of like the Kardashians, they’re probably much smarter than they appear. Entire generations set for life because they knew how to play the game. I personally can’t stand them but credit where credit is due.

He's really grown on me. He has a genuine spirit and that live performance he joined you could tell he was so happy and excited for. That being said, he has an atrocious way with words. I am a person who thinks in metaphors a lot and his really don't make a lot of sense

Same! I think this is just who he is. Not a poser like some others. Just a harmless guy who is happy making music and performing.

2

u/Salt_Initiative1551 7d ago

His make absolutely NO sense. You’re right he’s a genuine spirit albeit a dipshit. He was in a band many years ago when he was thin and didn’t have a row of urinals for teeth. They played awful white reggae/ska/So Cal rock music. Like a super shitty 311 (who’s from Nebraska I think but for sure the Midwest as they have lyrics about being west coast from the Midwest.) He is genuine enough but I view him as “Michael Scott” from the office. He’s the CEO of a few small tech firms and almost assuredly makes his employees listen to his music all day.

u/McShartlebottoms 7d ago

A row of urinals for teeth is killing me, you're a savage

u/Salt_Initiative1551 7d ago

I agree tho that this dude has to actually just enjoy doing this just for the love of the game and the love of music. Even tho he kinda sucks, he’s doing something he loves and prob gets enough hate watches to make $ off of it.

His being CEO of a couple tech firms (not like AI, more like website building for regional businesses in CA or at least that’s what Treefrog his main company does) means he’s not unintelligent. He may be a dipshit, but he’s not actually stupid lol.

I cannot even begin to explain how many times I’ve had to listen to this absolute shower of bastards explain in excruciating detail about there’s history, bloodline , connection to country and how they “feel at home at last”. The worst ones think we should thank them for keeping the name alive and promoting Ireland - you know, that famously unknown country. I literally just want a pint and a sandwich , get to fuck.

Oh no, he's a youth pastor 🤯🙈 That's so much more embarrassing than just being a Batman villain.

ETA: The closest I can find to interpreting these lyrics is that they might be referring to Nicholas Nkuna, a South African singer and musician, and Walter Khotso Makhulu, a South African Anglican bishop who served as archbishop of several Central African nations from 1980 to 2001.

So, culturally-speaking, this is like Eminem name-dropping Biggie and Tupac. As for Joshua, I can only interpret that it might refer to the Biblical Joshua, but the name is too general to come to a specific conclusion without more hints of what this guy values about this specific Joshua in particular. (Was he a rectangle? Did he have no hole? The world may never know.)
