Dixie Chicks Change Name to The Chicks

The band's social media pages, as well as a new song "March March," have dropped the Dixie

Dixie Chicks are changing their name. The trio will go forward as The Chicks. The band revealed the change with the branding for its new song "March March." The Chicks have also amended the cover of their comeback album Gaslighter to reflect the new name. In addition, the band's social media pages and website now refer to the trio as the Chicks. Watch the new "March March" video below.

When reached by Pitchfork, a representative for the Chicks shared the following statement from the band:
A sincere and heartfelt thank you goes out to "The Chicks" of NZ for their gracious gesture in allowing us to share their name. We are honored to co-exist together in the world with these exceptionally talented sisters.
Chicks Rock!

On June 17, writer Jeremy Helligar penned an op-ed for Variety that questioned the country trio's band name. (The term "Dixie," long associated with the South and Southern culture, was originally derived from the Mason-Dixon line.) Helligar noted the recent controversy surrounding Lady Antebellum's name change to Lady A had netted that band a good amount of press attention before writing, "The Dixie Chicks don't need to change their name to get that kind of publicity, but their silence has been deafening. This is a discussion we need to have, and they should be a part of it."

I remember they had that controversy back in the day. Now they're doing it again. I guess history repeats itself.

The controversy back in the day was not them. It was right wing cancel culture, something that a lot of people forget existed. They said they don't support the war in Iraq and were blacklisted by tons of radio stations, and attacked on Fox News.

I think most people now don't support the war, and they had the guts to speak honestly about it when it was clearly dangerous to do so 17 years ago (and the war is STILL going on).

Chicks is derogatory to women though so maybe the should just disappear entirely since they haven't been relevant in many years.

This is just a publicity stunt. I mean black people you are being used.

Does anyone care about the dickless chicks? I doubt black people even know who they are LOL.

But gotta get those headlines. Look at us so stunning and brave we changed our name.
 
I was just talking to someone at work about this. Organizations, bands, names, etc... are all under intense scrutinty right now, and if someone finds out your name is was somehow linked to racism hundreds of years ago and you didn't come out and change it proactively, you are a piece of shit racist nazi and you must change your name now that we're calling you out, and that we're calling you out means your silence is complicity and you're still a racist nazi but now you're a racist nazi who has to change your name.
