The singer Kid Rock, who has long been one of the only openly conservative figures in the entertainment world, sat down with the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson this week to speak out against cancel culture and Generation Z, saying that “we’re raising a generation of complete f**king p*ssies.”
Kid Rock Sounds Off
Whiskey Riff reported that Kid Rock made headlines last year when he boasted that he is “uncancelable.” He doubled down on this on Monday while appearing on the first episode of “The Tucker Carlson Encounter,” explaining that efforts to take him down have only made him more popular.
“It’s kind of funny,” Kid Rock said. “I always joke, I’ll do or say something that’s a little outrageous, gets people’s panties in a bunch at some level, and somehow they give me more money for it.”
“I’ve been the same way since I was young…I haven’t changed. Times have changed,” he continued. “Now you’re not allowed to say that or do this, you have to be politically correct and blah, blah blah. nd I’m like, that ain’t no fun.”

Kid Rock Rips Generation Z
Kid Rock went on to blame this cultural shift on the sensitivity of Generation Z, which is defined by Beresford Research as being made up of those born between 1997 and 2012.
“If you’re different, or you’re weird, make no mistake: You get treated differently,” Kid Rock explained. “When I was young I had my hair up to here. I had my pants sagging, running around talking junk. People gave me crap all the time. But I was trying to be seen.”
“If you want to be seen and you’re going to go out and be different like that and dye your hair blue and put a bunch of nose rings in, some people are going to look at you different,” he added. “Some people are going to tease you a little bit.”
“Whatever happened to sticks and stones?” Kid Rock concluded. “Everyone’s like, ‘He teased me. I’m going to cancel you and sue you and I’m gonna tell on you.’ It’s like we’re raising a complete generation of f*cking p*ssies.”

Kid Rock ‘Uncancelable’ – Stands By Trump
This comes one year after Kid Rock told Carlson in a separate interview that he can’t be cancelled.
“I am uncancellable because I don’t give a f**k,” Kid Rock said, according to USA Today.
“I’m not in bed with any big corporate things. At the end of the day, there’s nobody I’m beholden to — no record companies, no corporate interests, no nothing. You can’t cancel me,” Kid Rock continued. “I love it when they try. I think I crawled out of the womb with both middle fingers in the air.”
Kid Rock is also one of the only celebrities who has been unafraid to stand by the former President Donald Trump.
“I love spending time with him, getting to know him, since he became president the first few months, having dinner at the White House with him and from there on we’ve just really hit it off. I can relate to him in a lot of ways,” Kid Rock told Carlson of Trump during yesterday’s interview.
Kid Rock went on to praise Trump for saying “what’s on his mind,” adding that “if you look at [Trump’s] track record and who he is as a whole, there’s a lot more good there than anything.”
It can’t be denied that Kid Rock is one of the only stars out there today who actually thinks fo r himself when it comes to politics and culture. What do you think about his assessments of cancel culture and Generation Z? Let us know in the comments section.
