Finally - Proof that only trashy, low-class people listen to rap music

...and steal someone's well-cared for dog to selfishly take it on the road, with no real care except maybe food from a gas station, while trying to get it high from weed.

The film was strangely interesting; I did watch from beginning to end..only to see where it ended up.

Clearly, it's seedy...focusing on a band of misfits who IMHO don't fit into society in general or are from lower class homes.

This isn't just 'kids having fun'. It's 'anything goes' without regard to any type of morality and this is why America is doomed if we do not have better jobs and education that doesn't have professors degrading and intimidating students based on who they voted for.

This is not the future anyone should want. Blech.

Not very original, but 'We accept the love we think we deserve.' Brilliant.

It doesn't seem like you know what proof means.

I don't think bad taste like that is a lower-class phenomenon, but yeah, it was pretty damn awful. I like some rap, but not THAT kind, that's for sure. They call it "trap," I think, which is basically the worst of both worlds. It's pretty intriguing and telling, that they seem like free spirits yet they swallow whatever they're fed, be it music or some shallow ideology. I doubt even Andrea Arnold knows this (she seems to really like this music, or at least be open), but it adds a whole level of gloom to it all.

And I agree about the sex appeal of Miss Katness---I'd do bad, bad things to her on the floor of the trailer kitchen.
