BBQd by Fuck Your Birthday
In recent years, a meme spread around China in which a man autotune-croons, '完啦，Barbecue啦' over clips of fails or awkward situations. It basically means, 'oh shit, I'm cooked'. With that sentiment in mind, we've imagined a character that lives in that kind of world and ties these three songs together. He always seems to get himself stuck in rocky hard places. He succumbs to alcoholism on 'Moonshine' as he isolates himself outside of an unspecified rural Appalachian town. Then he finds himself in an awkward situation trying to reconcile his strict notions of masculinity with a kiss between buddies on 'Propane Accessories'. This leads to an overcompensation in violent crime that lands our protagonist in prison. 'Repeat Offender' is the final (yet not so final) act of this vicious circle. In a world where mass-shootings, police-brutality, and bigotry in our culture becomes motif rather than outlier, we are all BBQd.
