As if I needed another reason to complain about Earth Day, Lil Dicky came to the rescue with the track “Earth” just in time to virtue signal our appreciation for the foundation of our continued existence. Maybe I should accept Earth Day and people’s celebration of it as a good faith effort to be conscious of the human-environment relationship, but I can’t help feeling like it’s not enough. Lil Dicky decided his contribution was going to be a hit song about it all. Lil Dicky explains climate change, plastic waste and other environmental concerns using simple language and an engaging tone. But, while “Earth” has over 68 million views on YouTube, the videos where Lil Dicky gives a crash course on climate change have done pitifully badly.
