Oh my fucking god I just wanted to say how otherworldly bad music is right now (pop has always been stupid to varying levels but oh my fucking god they have raised the stakes). I just listened to a bunch of pop tracks from various genres and I literally think I’m about to die. Rock, country, indie, folk, hipster white rap, whatever you call home, is aggressively bad. It’s like Walmart made a gun that can shoot cum and blood and piss and shit and puke into your soul. We are so fucking fucked. I want to saw my own head off.

    I think your homie and my bf read the same something because that’s almost word for word what I got told lol.

    Ship on fire is fire fr fr!! The bit where its goes “we gotta seven different letters in seven rows” but it’s the second time and it does like a mini rise and drop/kicks back in (I dunno) at 1:23 kfdkwkdkwkdkw I wait all song for that bit.

    I think I’ve grown to love it so much cos it comes on right after row row which has the sickest breakdown omfg.

    Mmmm all the metal i like I’ve gotten mostly from him at the start of our friendship way before our relationship became a thing and like I know what I like so it really takes something special to make me listen to metal again and these guys kinda did it cos it was so new and fresh and not just angry cringe ass white dudes crying about the man and women while playing the saaaaame song again and again.

        Saaaaammmeee my bf insists it’s not all metal heads and I shouldn’t tarnish everyone with the same brush which is absolutely fair and true but in terms of metal heads you meet at gigs and out and about its like never a normal person.

        It’s like there’s always one form of bigotry if not multiple. I’m sure a lot of them think they inclusive but it’s always “we don’t care who or what you are” milquetoast shit and when that’s coming from predominantly cis white straight men it’s always feels like a smokescreen to hide the fact they’ll have some vile ass take on one type of minority.

        Thats how it always feels to me, even if your more qualified, more successful, more literate and more educated than a white male metal head, your always a little girl to them in a man’s world that thinks she gets how it all works and it boils my brain I swear.

        Aaaaa I’m venting lmao. Does any of that track from your experience?

        Loads are lovely so obviously I don’t wanna just slam metal fans since I’m technically one maybe I guess but like erghhhhh

            Kinda like they want to distance themselves so bad from white supremacists, classical antisemites, and church-burners, but don’t want to amend the mentalities and philosophies in white metal and its fandom that lead to white supremacy, classical antisemitism, and church burnings. It tracks 100% to me

            You say it so well!

            Omg fucking whenever you mention Varg is a piece of shit, they always like a trained parrot go “varg just wants to be left alone”

            WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!

            Damn yeah that’s a bummer, I can’t in good conscience put money in Kanye’s pockets anymore, might have to do the same for Peggy. Thanks for the response, appreciate everything you said in this thread!
