Pink Floyd Army Dunks on Fake Fans Triggered By 'Woke' Rainbow Logo

Fans defend Pink Floyd's iconic 'Dark Side of the Moon' rainbow design from anti-woke culture warriors.

When the legendary band unveiled a logo celebrating the 50th anniversary of their album 'The Dark Side of the Moon,' some saw the gay agenda at work
The rainbow flag, created by artist Gilbert Baker, was first flown as a symbol of queer liberation at a San Francisco parade in 1978. Pink Floyd released their eighth studio album, The Dark Side of the Moon, five years before, in 1973 — with cover art depicting light refracted through a prism to produce a rainbow. The late designer Storm Thorgerson intended it as a tribute to the band's famous light shows.

And now, in 2023, as the legendary group marks the 50th anniversary of their most enduring touchstone, a few ill-informed individuals have conflated these two strains of counterculture in order to make themselves very, very mad. Yesterday, on Facebook, the official Pink Floyd page unveiled a logo for the occasion, prompting statements of grievance from members who believed the rainbow design was a nod to LGBTQ solidarity rather than the iconic record sleeve.

"Yeah, cuz I always hear Pink Floyd fans saying 'I wish Pink Floyd was more gay,'" commented one gentleman. "Sickening," wrote another, who has also shared Covid-19 truther memes on his profile. "I used to listen for the music. But I'm done now. Gay propaganda being put into everything."

There was somewhat less blowback to the rainbow on Twitter — where the $300 price tag for a new deluxe Dark Side box set was the main point of concern — but one critic did accuse the band of going "full establishment & pro big government."

But while observers and media outlets noted with dismay this ignorant response — chalking it up to nasty trolls and forgetful, Fox News-addled Boomers — the tide was swiftly turning. The true Pink Floyd devotees, of every age and background, buried the homophobes in an avalanche of mockery. Thousands piled into the Facebook thread to call them fake fans, many pointing out the anti-authoritarian, left-leaning themes of the band's music. (Roger Waters, a Floyd co-founder who wrote much of Dark Side, outraged part of his audiencewith a Trump-bashing tour in 2017.)

Just hilarious that someone could be a Pink Floyd fan and a reactionary. How is someone possibly both of those things? Proves the music is universal I spose?

Interesting. However, I would have thought most hard core right wingers would have disowned Pink Floyd awhile ago. At a minimum, when roger waters dId his anti trump tour and flew the pig through the venue with trumps face on it.

And these can’t be Floyd fans if they aren’t aware of the dark side of the moon album cover. Trolls.

Boomers have no clue about music. Most of them will sing Bruce Springsteen Born in the USA and have no clue what it is about.
