Very tough week for the Manson... family.

Kinja really was as bad as everyone feared: horrible site design , can’t block shitty commenters, and less of the jolly folk I remember.

Katie, with all due respect why is this an avclub article? I’m not one of these people who bitch about the articles having more political content now but this is really not the kind of article I would ever imagine to be on this site. I’ve been coming on this site for the 4 times a day for ten years. this would be…

Except that there’s nothing inherently suspicious about a sheltered teenager thinking she’s punk without actually understanding what punk is. There’s a decent case to be made that the claim being patently false actually gives the account more credibility — it basically reads as “I thought I was a teenage punk and I…

She’s aiming for the Gen X/Gen Y vote. More Gen Y as they fall more largely into the demo she’s discussing and they are a fairly large cohort, not as big as millennials but a reasonable sized one.

That was like a decade ago. The current AV Club is less about “cynical, politically incorrect, and hilarious entertainment”, and more just plain cynical about throwing anything at the wall that will generate clicks. Which basically means outrage, and more outrage!

Yes because it’s absolutely impossible that they might be trying to court Gen X voters and make themselves look progressive and trendy. The Trumps have never tried that move.

Relatable to whom? Who do you imagine is actually convinced by this childhood anecdote?

Word. I started reading the AVC because of The Hater.

Keep doing you. They’ll never get the hypocrisy.

This isn’t concern trolling, and I think you probably know it isn’t. These articles are pointless exercises in self-reassurance and they make the left look catty. Ivanka used the phrase “three shades lighter” colloquially rather than literally, and talked about a musical genre with less than complete erudition. No…

The difference is that Ivanka is trying to use this (written as an adult, not a teen) to make herself relatable and hip.

I almost dropped my computer standing up to clap for you.

How many punks does it take to change a lightbulb?

Katie, what the fuck? If there is anyone Ivanka DOESN’T have to explain who Kurt Cobain is, it is to old white people.

This article is surprisingly petty.

Her mom wrote it, genius

I would have thought the article made no sense. I mean Obama’s oldest daughter wasn’t even born yet when Cobain died. Now we are supposed to believe a baby dyed her hair blue? The whole story would fall apart.

Hello, Pulitzer. This is the hard-hitting, important shit, right here.

This is the story that is finally going to stop the Trumps. I think we did it.
