The Hawaiian shirt, the bandana, the shit-eating grin -- they all fall under the authenticating aesthetic of White Trash.
While this isn’t the first time white artists have been challenged for profiting from a minority culture -- there is a very long history of that -- they’re now being questioned for it more than ever. Let’s consider Justin Timberlake, for instance. Once he was the good boy with the ramen hair; now he’s the despicable white man who makes more bank than the black men who have serviced his career while he's given them nothing in return.
And that’s just classic White Trash. Elvis Presley, one of the its forebears, stole rock and roll from the likes of Chuck Berry and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, then made it white. Today, through the same aesthetic, Post Malone and Justin Bieber are attempting to whitetrashwash rap, hip-hop, dancehall, trap.
They’re following in the footsteps of the most successful culture vulture of recent times: Eminem. When he rapped “Y’all act like you never seen a white person before” on his first number one singleLike Malone, Eminem’s White Trash narrative and aesthetic guaranteed his success in an arena to which he didn’t belong.
