- fucking song about thrift shopping gets popular
Actually, I’d like to argue that “thrift shop” is a meaningful song. Think about it: most popular rap songs are like “yo i got this [insert expensive brand name] shoe.”“I got all dis $$$$” “hundred dolla bills.”
Basically, most mainstream rap music is about living a lavish lifestyle. Thrift shop is like, “No. I’m buying all this stuff for $20!” It’s about feeling lavish/awesome without spending much. Therefore, it’s saying anyone in the world can feel like their style is cool. In essence, it makes buying things - used at that - for cheap “cool.”
He even has this lyric where it says “Fifty dollars for a T-shirt that’s just some ignorant shit… I call that getting swindled and pimped… tricked by a business…. Tryna get girls from a brand? Man you hella won’t.”
Most rap songs give the idea that if you have money (aka money to buy brand named things), you get girls. Well, freaking amazing Macklemore says otherwise.
