people who were posting “i hope you live, i hope we both live” and other corny shit like that back when No Children was a meme missed the entire point… that song already exists and it’s called I Hope You Dance… leave our unapologetic hater anthem alone

#literally their second most popular song is about surviving - let ONE song be negative #that’s what makes No Children so great in my opinion #obviously the Alpha Couple are not aspirational figures #but SOMETIMES shit just fucking sucks and you’ve given up hope and your friends are trying to comfort you with tired cliches #and you’re just like shut the fuck UP man!!!!!!!#it’s NOT getting better and i’ll NEVER get sober and I HOPE WE BOTH DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!#you can tell that JD was channeling some deep frustrations through that song #and they’re RELATABLE frustrations and that’s why people love it #sometimes in the deep dark moments you’re ALLOWED to just be fucking angry and hopeless and DONE WITH THAT SHIT #and people trying to twist it into a positivity anthem reinforce the societal shame of those negative emotions #it’s so high and mighty…#‘well *I* hope we both LIVE!’#well *I* DON’T motherfucker!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE COMING DOWN WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!#[people with loveable hands do not interact]#the mountain goats #tmg
