1. Most artists would take offence to their music being utilized to this display of inhumane behaviour.

   Whoever produced this content should be ashamed of themselves.

2. Green Day, Eminem, Flogging Molly and these guys. Don’t fuck with GenX.

3. That song is about the lead singer’s wife giving birth.

4. They’re well known for not understanding art

5. They weren’t trying to match the point of the song, the lyrics just fit the situation in a way they felt want funny or edgy, which is a pretty common thing for advertising or commercial media to do.

6. Reminds me of the video the Trump campaign was showing at rallies to make fun of Trans folks in the military. They were saying how soft the military has gotten, and would juxtapose dancing gay folk in military uniforms with scenes from Full Metal Jacket. They COMPLETELY missed the point of that movie.
