And make no mistake, I do my part as well. Mostly with used beer cans. But I know it has no real impact and no lasting affect on the planet. It's just a means to make me feel like I helped in some small way, but I didn't. It's a pat on the back so I can circle jerk about how progressive I am with all my other progressive pals.
Like I said. Our politics are boring as fuck.
Not really a cop out. What have you done to save the world that's made a noticeable difference? Taking your discarded beer cans down to the recycle bin? Oh you bought a Prius? You have a compost pile? Yeah it's really working.
It mean's absolutely nothing beyond making yourself feel better and giving you another card the "look how smug I am" playing deck.
People don't collectively want to change anything. Everyone's politics are boring as fuck and we're all dead before or right after 2050. So yeah, I'll agree to one of your points. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Cause' that one tree is gonna help save the planet from the utter devastation that's coming in the next 30 - 40 years. GG humans. We blew it.
But yeah fuck her and that aerosol can! RIOT! RABBLERABBLERABBLERABBLERABBLE.
Congrats Bbell. You exposed your neo-fascist leanings AND became a minor celebrity for your sheer ineptitude to be anything less than the scum the scum on my shoes eat. GG, bruh.
I'm gonna guess the guy hit the deck and cracked his skull and bled to death, broke his neck, etc.
Pretty shitty way to go. Fighting should be reserved to the ring.
It's trendy to shit on The Doors these days for some reason. Never mind half these indie darlings that still operate in a mode of guitar rock take their cues from The Doors, whether they know it or not. It's the Anxiety of Influence.
Sanders isn't even a socialist. He's a social democrat. All these spooks thinking the great big lefty boogeyman is coming to get them don't even realize he's not that left. The people marching in the ANTIFA marches, the ancoms distributing free literature on insurrection and unionization, the anti-reformists who realize voting reform is a shitty band-aid and only a true dismantling of established hierarchies and systems will provide any meaningful change, those are the ones they should be worried about, because we're coming to snatch your straight white guy power fantasy away and stomp on it.
Fuck you, Billy Corgan. I love your music, but you're an asshole.
My daddy won't let me near sharp things.
Nah, you're right. I'm just lazy, unemployed, soon to be out of grad school, and terrified. So you know, normal shit.
Do you all not see how you're just feeding into this even more? I already mentioned it's post-irony/structuralist/avant garde attributes. By getting outraged, commenting, etc. you're simply reinforcing their point. You clicked on this because of the sensational headline, got all ruffled up, and are giving them endless free publicity. On the internet.
It's a win-win-win for YACHT. They lose a few fans, sure, but not as many as you'd all like to carry on. I don't even care about the music or the band. The statement itself is an interesting social experiment. Misleading? Sure. So was the Milgram obedience experiment. I'm not saying this is anywhere near as important as that study was, but experiments are often steeped in illusory, misleading facets. It is what it is. All the incessant "ugh YACHT suck so much" doesn't really accomplish anything beyond giving yourself cred and internet points. Half of you already sound like you fucking hated the band regardless, so your lives are unaffected. Similarly, if you already dug the band a lot or even marginally, it's doubtful you'll take some righteous stand against their music for this.
You might not listen for a few weeks, or even a few months, but if this same community can still listen to any of the other myriad scum musicians across the genre spectrum, this is nothing. Like every other internet hotbed, this'll be cold in a week and you'll have a new target to fixate your keyboard warrior rage on.
That's all folks.
These holier than thou indie tweets are pretty shit too. Boo hoo, someone did something you hate, let's whine about it in 140 characters or less.
When's that big ass meteor have the chance of wiping us out? 2036 or 2039? Either way, I'm on #teammeteor
Kind of hard to make an album with seven of its 11 tracks be old songs, some of which have been around for twenty years, and not kind of assume that the end may be neigh.
Little bit of a tin foil hat thing here but after putting all of their core discography (which means excluding special edition second disc tracks, singles, eps, etc.) together into a playlist, they now have exactly 100 songs across 9 albums that lasts 7 hours and 7 minutes.
Could be nothing. Just interesting how well it all adds up. Not quite symmetrical but damn close.
