americans try not to immediately turn anything irish into magical mystical uwu pagan faeries challenge (100% IMPOSSIBLE)
#i s2g if i see one more comment on a gaeilge song saying some shit like
#this is what i would listen to if i was dancing in the forest with the fae
#you guys do realise you can show your appreciation for a country/culture
#without associating the entire country with the tumblrised version of its mythology that you only know about
#from 3 skimmed twitter posts and an interperative YA romance novel
#it could be worse i guess
#but i'm just really sick of literally anything vaguely celtic just getting watered down into tinkerbell bullshit
#that isn't ~ethereal magical ancient elf music~ that's an actual people's music and was probably written at the very most 200 years ago
#i'm glad people are enjoying it but you can stop boiling down our whole country into some ideal cottagecore fairy land already

#like any ~medieval tavern vibes~ playlist you click on is pretty much guaranteed to be like minimum 30% modern as gaeilge music

#what youre talking about when it comes to irish folklore
#ok i know it's probably not just americans doing this also but i mean. i don't want to be rude or anything but americans tend to be
#bad for this stuff
