Yeah, it’s hard to feel too bad when the guy basically asked to be killed or seriously injured. Of course I’d prefer that he survived, maybe learning a valuable lesson after inevitably being arrested, but I feel far worse for the guy who shot him and now has to deal with that. 

Coming from someone who Piers Morgan would call a “woke bloody idiot” as well as someone who fucking hates Grease, this is such a non-controversy. Yeah, Grease has creepy shit, shock of shocks, so do 95% of romantic comedies. (and shut your ass, Piers, the fact that you still have a show is far more offensive than…

I’ve been a part of many pointless internet arguments, which basically makes me an expert, and this is clearly a case of Activision neglecting to write “OC PLZ DO NOT STEAL MARA THE HEDGEHOG IS COPYRIGHT 2019 XxXActivision420XxX ” on the images.

I don’t love the track itself, but I like parts of it pretty well. Definitely makes me want to hear the EP.

That’s exactly it, I took all of Manson’s autobiography and more... problematic (ugh, but you know what I mean) writing as kayfabe, since that’s all it is for the vast majority of theatrical musicians. There was never a question that he did some depraved shit, but I took a lot of it to be consensual, completely…

I like to think that this question was asked multiple times while ICP wrote the lyrics for Miracles.

Oh no, whatever will I do. I mean, other than continue to listen to the music I enjoy and having a chuckle knowing that two random dipshits are mad about it. 

Not sure what you’re trying to get out of this, but that’s twice that you’ve swung for it and missed. Are you hoping I’ll be mad? I don’t listen to music to get attention from others, so you’re taking the wrong angle there. Do you need some help insulting me? Let me know if you do.

It’s fine, much better than being one of those people that shits on others for liking something they don’t. Those are the ones I feel truly awful for.

Fuck... this one hurts to have confirmed, even if it was pretty obvious before today. I’ve always been a massive fan, I took a lot of influence from him in my own singing and writing styles, his references in his lyrics took me down major artistic and philosophical reading rabbit holes... in short, his work means a…

Tim Storms is what every bass thinks they sound like (and I say that as a guilty party myself). 

Same, we’re about the same age so I had the same experience: Radio turned to gray mush almost right after the 00s started, so I gained a taste for fringe music (and I do mean fringe... I went from “Nickelback isn’t THAT bad” to Residents deep cuts in record time, haha).

I don’t know the song (I’m woefully out of the pop loop, to the point where I’ve never heard an entire Drake song), but that was my exact reaction to the bit of AJR I did hear/see. If that stuff is getting played on rock radio these days, holy shit, bring back Limp Bizkit, at least they had some crunch in their sound.

Oh god, same. It’s such a pervasive stereotype that I’ve legitimately shocked black and Hispanic friends by simply knowing about Lawry’s, haha. (just wish more white people would realize “Hey, if I know my stereotypes are inaccurate, maybe, just MAYBE that works both ways!”)

I still have a theory that every largely-forgotten-outside-of-small-town-karaoke-nights 2000s radio rock band was the same band under different names, probably all brainchildren of Chad Kroeger, with different actors hired for videos and shows. If it weren’t for the occasional Audioslave or SOAD single to mix things…

Fascinating! Thanks for the info. (I too was wondering why I was getting interaction on a 2018 post, haha)

Meanwhile, you can get Zucced for literally anything they decide is offensive that day, but apparently plotting a coup is just peachy. 

Only counting post-Devil Inside releases, I can’t think of any that are must-sees for even the most devoted genreheads, unless Get Out’s Sundance release counts? I’m sure I’m forgetting something obvious. 

They applauded because they knew she’d pay for her coffee in “exposure”.

You nailed my thoughts on 2016 perfectly. It’s a solid funny movie for most of its runtime (doesn’t hurt that, while I adore the OG movie, I don’t see it as the untouchable sacred cow that a lot of fans do), then it peters out in a pretty unimpressive SFX extravaganza, and the jokes stop landing as well.
