Gus's Top 100 Bootlickin' Nonce Anthems

[version]

This is the question, I think.

My friend (a psychoanalyst in training) who watches reality television (esp Bachelor-style dating shows) says that the central arc, as a viewer, is that you start off hating everybody. These people are the worst, you think—selfish and petty and shallow. But once you've taken for granted that they're awful, something amazing happens, which is that you start growing attached to your favorites. Their redeemable attributes stand out against the backdrop assumption of terribleness. Suddenly, having passed through hating them, you find yourself able to love them.

Is that what you're trying to do with this thread?

Time's ability to redeem the trash of yesteryear captures my imagination, yes. I've always wondered the extent to which future generations will look back nostalgically on the mediocre mainstream of our time, the way we look back at, say, 60s and 70s pop songs.

The main guy who does all the work and then dresses it up with montreal freaks for indie cred is from houston

A bunch of younger people have picked up on Deftones recently.

And in that video I posted, Billy Ray Whatshiface cycling through his full repertoire of Sid Vicious sneers and muggings, he's anti MTV but this is for MTV, he would never dare to wear a Swastika THE MORAL COWARD

Me either to be fair.

in the pub today woops expressed momentary regret that Gus receives all this vitriol before concluding, ruefully, that he brings it all on himself.

I've never wished ill will on anyone. that's different from calling someone a jackass.
