In fact, the South Antebellum is also called the Plantation Era When people use the term Antebellum its usually a style of clothing, or a house style I mean I understand where they came from, but nobody really asked, plus their name really wasn't that offensive Lets do it baby I know the Law Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C) No, were going to recognize the history before 1860 and LEARN from it. Aka what Lady A just did Purr more, hiss less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the era of the Southern Gothic. I think it's a little ridiculous though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is often glamorized by... certain groups as "the good old days" when in fact it included slavery, so it wasn't actually good The band is obviously recognizing that that glamorization and nostalgia can be painful for lot of people and don't want to be associated with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2School4Cool 5,358 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Honestly, good for them! It always makes me happy to see people trying to educate themselves further. Plus, they’ve already been known by their fans as Lady A, so I think that’s a simple yet effective change. See The Best In Everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactic Mess 1,393 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I thought antebellum was some abstract reference to a peaceful era before all wars started. Had no idea this was tied to US history lol Anyway, good for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KORG 4,756 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 THE CIRCUS IS IN TOWN! Literally named after a type of house, yet because it's a hononym here we are. I'm actually impressed we are making people into clowns so easily. Though this will come back to bite, as soon all black history will be gone. Well done guys.
