If it’s the line and song I’m thinking it is, it’s about finding an assortment of things, including a second hand fur already at a thrift store, and giving it a second life by assembling an eclectic wardrobe out of what’s present. I get that it still produces an image, but it’s not driving demand in the same way.
That was notably a line about wearing used fur, not sourcing new fur for new clothes. I think that is an important distinction when evaluating the moral arguments against wearing fur. Still totally valid to be against any fur clothing, but that line feels a lot less immoral to me in context.
I am so over that in favour of his standing up for what’s right. But that line wasn’t cool, not to my sensibilities, but I’ve seen footage of trapped animals and it is heart rending. And these fur farms in denmark are fucking disgusting too.
It was a song about thrifting. A song against fast fashion, consumerism, and satirizing displays of wealth. That’s what it was popularizing. It was a line about making the most out of the lot we’re given. It was not a song glorifying the wearing of fur. Fur is poetic shorthand for wealth. You can’t excise a single word or line from a song or poem from it’s context. And if you’d actually listened to the song or watched the video, it’d have been pretty clear that no one wearing gator boots or or mink was cool. It was satire. The line about mink even says that it smells like piss.
I didn’t like him because his line on his hit song about wearing fur, which I am against. But now, I am 100% behind this muthafucka.

Yeah it’s about reusing something already made.

Wearing is popularizing.
