yes, he’s getting taken off lineups. Sick of online dweebs trying to gaslight people like “oh ARE they cancelled?” Yes we’re commenting on an article about it and shows of his are literally being fucking cancelled.
Btw all of the same people on here saying “cancel culture” isn’t real are the same ones on here now going “why wasn’t DaBaby cancelled when he smacked a woman months ago” and I was literally posting the same shit on here explaining why. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
Lol resentment towards black people? Literally no one is posting anything close to hate speech here. This truth is this website is more for white indie dorks who weren’t smart or funny enough to get attention on social media and who barely have ever interacted with anyone outside their own community, who hold their own musicians (indie white people) to much higher moral accountability than black artists whose music they don’t actually take seriously and who they patronize by continuing to give press coverage and attention to after they’ve smacked a woman on camera, something they’d crucify a white artist for and rightfully so. THAT is the progressive posturing and it’s both embarrassing and so condescending. This guy should’ve been given the heave ho months ago when he was throwing concerts mid-COVID. FOH.
Literally no one but people have had their careers ended for much much less heinous actions and/or words.
Before you downvote me, imagine any other artist or musician assaulting a woman on camera and still having a thriving career?
Where were you when a racist cop kills our black ass?!? “Uh…idk protesting with thousands of others in massive crowds across the nation despite it being the worst pandemic in centuries”
Agree with you and have been saying this for months. Truly insane though to see everyone on here who usually says that cancel culture isn’t real, flocking to this news piece to basically shout about why this person wasn’t cancelled sooner. Some of you people are too stupid for the Internet.
why would he need one? He isn’t white and he apologized. POC stands for Prevents Online Cancellation so he can keep hurling slurs and smacking women at shows indefinitely. Carry on gang.
“For which he was, what, given a pass?” Of course! there’s no such thing as cancel culture as per everyone on this site!
Knew you’d chime in dawg. 100% agreed on everything. Sobering up was the easy part of 2020. If you’re still in NY, we’re gonna meet up at an NYC show one day.
Don’t. I was. Hence…the name.
Beastie booooooooys there are they coming hooooooome.
Oh yeah I forgot about that. You’re a much bigger person than I and I apologize for my shit talking for real. Live Bootleg forever! xoxo
but really though...my short lived disappearance from these boards, which was probably met with joy for many, was due to me spending the past year or so getting sober. Thank you for your patience. Sorry to self promote but hey it's better than reading someones therapy session/diary entry every week on here...

how do you manage to be so unfunny yet also suck miserably?
Literally nothing I said was edgy. Just true, which you confirmed with your equally unfunny and awkward response. do you talk to people in real life? imagine being an adult who uses the expressions "go off" and "edgelord".... i'd be sucking a gun barrel.
I know no one wants to admit this cause women want absolute freedom (fair) and men want to get laid/see more of this (also fair) but I’m gay so I see right through this shit byyyyye
you sound like such a loser esp with the following up half hour later lol. Go get laid. I was mocking them for cheaply objectifying themselves for cheap media attention. something that super famous female artists (and also talented ones) like Bey and Taylor Swift don’t really need to do. Not “giving them permission” Stop regurgitating snarky shit you read on Twitter, you sound autistic. Women can do whatever they want artistically and I am not trying to police anyone or say how artists should portray themselves regardless of gender. And I know you can’t criticize women without it being “men policing bodies” shit but the wild uptick in female nudity in the media landscape is less so a “feminist breakthrough” than a very overused, bullshit, news feed/social media algorithm promotion tactic and it’s ok for me to have grown tired of musicians using their nips to stand out on the Internet feed. Courtney doesn’t need to have a kid and post the baby and her fake tit on an album cover cause she writes her own songs and they’re good.
I am fine with artists “expressing” themselves to the world without people asking, just saying they don’t NEED to!
tell that to Louis CK
Can’t wait to be downvoted to shit by psychotic American fans of: Doja/Lorde/Phoebe/Charli/Halsey/HAIM/Cardi/Meg, etc etc
Psyched for new Amyl and Courtney. Is Australia one of those places where female musicians can release new music without having to also release a new batch of nudes?
BBC Sessions being the first full Zeppelin album I heard as a preteen was certainly a baptism by fire
Legendary anecdote. I know this musicians who is just finishing up recording a full length cover of this album to celebrate the 20th anniversary. Also doing Tigermilk for the 25th anniversary.
Hmm the guy from Justice whose whole career is based off sampling is hypocritically coming at JB? Seems like the same shit I’m talking about. Didn’t mean to imply only women do it. But it sure seems like when they do it gets a hell of a lot more traction. That’s why this article is #1 and that one has a handful of comments.
hi Pom Pom girls band member, yes I agree and said above she ripped them off.
BUT on the other hand…people don’t usually go after MALE artists for silly things like slight visual rip offs because male artists do things like….uh…rape and abuse and stuff. No one is worried about how similar Marilyn Manson’s vibe is to Alice Cooper anymore lol
The Courtney stuff is silly but the Pom Pom stuff is pretty damn similar. That being said none of it is original in the first place. It’s like when Nicki tried to tear down Cardi for ripping off her rip off of Lil Kim. You don’t see Led Zeppelin commenting on Greta Van Fleet’s shit….because they stole their shit too! Have some self awareness. Not sure why female artists for all their talk about female empowerment are on a constant crusade to tear down whoever is the new popular girl this year. I feel like this happens every year. Always some dumb, petty controversy. It’s like Joni Mitchell being like “Taylor Swift is ripping me off! Writing all these dam love songs”. Cmon. It’s all projection. Sorry, Olivia’s post bears a slight resemblance to your classic album which was already an L7 rip off. On the other hand, yeah she ripped off Pom Pom Girls aesthetic a little. it’s almost like the most popular app for the youth being one where people just steal music to make their own bad content is a bad idea for future creativity??? If you think this is bad, wait for the next decade…
Listened to the original album a bajillion times last summer so guess I’m gonna do it again this summer too
With you on Kiwi Jr, impeccable songwriting. Still somehow my AOTY so far. Kylie bumps and now I finally wanna start Blood Meridian.
The Shins old and new have aged incredibly well. Love OIW! but my favorites might be Wincing and (unpopular opinion) their newest album?? Heartworms/Worms Heart might be their best work? Or just wildly underrated, I think.
Enjoying life is not the same as “having the money to enjoy an insanely over the top luxurious life throughout a pandemic that killed millions”
Thank you. Weird that we live in a world now where Lorde comes off more racist to me than Jar Jar Binks.
Are those real crop circles she made or is it fake? Cause how gd funny would it be if to promote her album about “how much she loves nature”, she damaged/interrupted actual fields of nature.
Ok, I read the great comments on the single page but glad I didn’t make too many of the same points. I think the race and COVID angle is pretty important here though. Remember, famous musicians can make great music AND be Uber-wealthy narcissists completely disconnected from reality and the human experience because of their new fame/money. Lorde didn’t do the first one this time. Well…she did actually but she just stole good music from the summer of 3 decades ago.
BOOM. Nailed it, Charmander. .
This made me guffaw DS
