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 #it's just as disrespectful as doing that to any other culture. at least to me #im thinking mostly of music here because that's where i see this shit happening a LOT #like any ~medieval tavern vibes~ playlist you click on is pretty much guaranteed to be like minimum 30% modern as gaeilge music #but it happens with pictures and stuff too #despite popular opinion all those beautiful hashtag aesthetic pictures of glens and woodlands don't make up the entire country. #like were not all living in the 1600s here #anyway rant over tldr you can stop calling irish music magic gibberish fairy spells now especially if you barely know the first thing of #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
