I can relate. It’s like some of us live in a parallel Ireland sometimes. We’ve seen it a lot with our our American cousins claiming to be “more Irish” because (they think) they’re keeping old traditions alive. But I agree with her, Ireland wasn’t, and still isn’t, great for a lot of people growing up.
CMAT sounds like something you take intravenously.
When I lived in the states I always found “St. Patty’s day” to be a gigantic cringefest, when people with no connection to Ireland and no knowledge about it would dress head to toe in bilious green, drink green beer, pinch other people for not wearing green, play diddly-idle music etc… and I really hate seeing that crap catching on in Ireland now that I’m back.
She’s thinking what we’re all saying.
CMAT sounds like an appropriation of America rap culture.
I’ve never seen Yanks go so far as to wear GAA jerseys, if someone is doing that, they might have a genuine interest I’m Irish culture (which should be encouraged).
Fake Irish culture in the UK deffo plays to really negative stereotypes of our beautiful people – the stereotypes are rooted in colonial proganda
She’s right – I also think we tend to bring in things from abroad as well; for tourism, it’s whatever – give us money, but I would be concerned about genuinely believing/practicing some of what’s cultivated abroad. Life as it exists for a lot of us is pretty shit, yeah. I think we’re largely indifferent to/ignorant of a lot of cultural things though. Who else fasts on Wednesdays and Fridays? Etc.
So because she didn’t enjoy how she grew up, everyone should be miserable and hate Ireland? Hell of a stance to take there generic pop artist
Totally agree with her but some Irish people have had Claddagh rings for many years, their recent explosion is getting annoying 🤣
Never heard of her.
Is she a singer?
The name sounds like an acronym for a government agency.
Bit like her fake version of American culture I suppose.
Well tbf it’s a thing of perspective the Irish people that were forced out of Ireland by the British are probably going to pass on the resentment to their children they first had.
Crying over nothing
People abroad are wearing gaa gear and claddagh rings because they are in trend to an extent. Big deal
Never seen this phenomenon to be honest.
Maybe she is resentful because she sees a lot of young women wearing GAA sports gear and wrongly assumes it’s performative as opposed to a genuine interest.
Given her own admitted issues with her physical shape maybe this commentary is an interesting insight into how she views active, athletic women and is just merely projecting.
I think this is a stupid thing to complain about. It’s annoying sure, and dangerous when in addition to far-right talking points, but otherwise who cares.
I agree to a certain extent, but we’re talking about capitalism at its finest, not so much appropriation of a false Ireland by other countries.
Sales teams see the irish jerseys, something that all irish people wear, and say “let’s get this into other countries and fuckin’ make exponential profits compared to this one small island” as well as claddagh rings, aran jumpers, and all the rest.
When money is to be made, of course a culture will be narrowed down to whatever sells well abroad.
Cue r/Ireland being a pack of miserable fuckers ready to cut anyone down for the injustice of having notions. Do youse never tire of whinging? She’s elucidating her feelings about the commodification of our culture, engage with it fuck sake.
I still do not understand why so many of my peers treat America like some grandfathered 33rd county. It’s especially egregious in the New England area of the Northeast, but I’ll bump into it just about anywhere. It’s fine to be proud of where your ancestors came from and celebrate things in good faith, but dressing up like a bad caricature and making a drunken fool of yourself is not that at all, nor would either make one truly Irish. Gives me a migraine just thinking about it.
With respect, I’d be more concerned about the fake version of US and UK culture that’s in Ireland than vice versa.
She doesn’t relate to GAA jerseys? Since when did British and American people co-opt GAA aesthetics?
The GAA must not be very popular in Dunboyne then.
Sounds like someone from a Dublin suburb superimposing their lived experience upon the rest of the country, in rural parts of the country GAA is still central to community life, whether you like it or not, that is just reality.
