Oh, I know. It makes me so glad to have gotten out of journalism (or the decomposing corpse of the field once known as journalism). And when I came back here today, I saw the comment that is going to make me give up on this site forever.

Thanks. Wasn’t trying to be a hot take and it’s obviously not the point of the comment.

Yes, I am sure you never comment on anything that seems stupid to you. You have never made fun of a band/movie/person/cultural phenomenon that you think sucks.

No recent hits mean your take is wrong?

Jesus, calm down. Did I defend Morrissey anywhere? 

Nah, you should probably hate them both.

It got me the most upvotes, baby and that’s how you play the game.

Looks up sales figures to argue with “Internet dork,” misses the obvious point that the majority of those sales were 15-20 years ago.

Yes, it’s exactly how it works if you’re mature enough to not get defensive about perceived insult to a band you like. I like plenty of bands that I can admit are irrelevant. Who the hell are Heartless Bastards, The Hissyfits, or Pretty Girls Make Graves? They’re relative nobodies on the music scene. I still like…

Facts don’t need to be “more convincing.” My comment clearly made fun of the site, Garbage, the article, and Morrissey. Also, I don’t think you know what “doubling down” means.

Are we all acting like 13-year-olds now?

That was yesterday when you couldn’t read and got all pissy at me for a perceived insult of a band you like? Or when you doubled down on trying to be condescending even though you’re the one who can’t read? Doesn’t matter really, you don’t have a point either way.

“Comic assassin”? So Myers’ agent writes for the AV Club now?

Okay, they sold out a venue that holds what, 4,000 people? They’re not exactly setting the world afire. Nickelback is selling out bigger venues that that.

Yes, an epic burn like that was surely worth preserving for posterity. Of course, if my comment is so irrelevant, you posting an even longer comment dismissing it as such is even more worthless.

And? I’m very aware that Morrissey is all of those things. 

God bless Kinja users like you with more cathexis than critical thinking/reading comprehension skills.

Oof, this is some sad “news.” I like Garbage, but this boils down to “largely irrelevant band angrily tweets at known jerk over badly translated interview.” It does not get more superficial or pointless than this. I know most news/reporting these days is reporting on/quoting Tweets, but yikes.

Sigh. So in order to make amends to the Twitter mobs, she says this stupid thing, which counts as an apology?

I’m a complainer, because so few movies coming out need to be as long as they are. A New Hope established a universe, a number of interesting characters, a strange new mythology and still told a good adventure story in 2 hours. That’s lean and efficient storytelling with writing and a good producer who can restrain a…
