I just thought a band with a really horrible name.

I wouldn't say "Britpop" is so much positive or negative as just having no real meaning at all, at least in the context of the UK. It just seems a very arbitrary designation.

Propagandhi are fucking great. Even when they were shit, they were good.

The thing about "Britpop" is that despite being from Britain and having grown up in the 90s, I've never really understood what it's meant to mean; like why it includes certain British bands of the early to mid 90s (Oasis, Blur, Pulp…) but seemingly not others (Manics, Skunk Anansie, PJ Harvey, Asian Dub Foundation…).

Maybe I'm being naive, but I'd have thought their purpose was to stop their music being used as an instrument of psychological torture? If I was in a band, I would be very strongly opposed to my music being used in that way.

Aren't KMFDM German?

Eh, you're no Jamaica. Less than 3 million people and look at all the great music they've got.

Scotland's not dead.

You're a fucking maniac, and this is an intervention!

Indeed, you are quite right, sir!

Seriously, can you say anything for yourself?

Who exactly is silencing you, and how are they doing it?

I put no words in his mouth. Are you saying that by "fascism" Carlin did not mean fascism? Maybe that's the problem here: you apparently have your own understanding of what "political correctness" means, and neither you or Carlin seem particularly clear on the meaning of "fascism".

George Carlin was talking shit. How many people have been murdered by "political correctness"?

What if I REALLY dislike Bruno Mars's music?

The All Pakistan Meat Exporters and Processors Association?

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.

Really? What's funny about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

I don't remember this very clearly, but didn't Lovecraft's description of what he meant by "socialism" more closely resemble fascism, or at best Stalinism. rather than any real approach to political and economic equality?
