[line b]

I liked green day as a second grader not as anything approaching adult. just want to get that on the record

 

[line b]

As a teenager I liked Phish, Arcade Fire, and My Bloody Valentine

 

[shakahislop]

This is what I was alluding to above

 

[shakahislop]

Yes except those teenagers obviously, but that's not the majority of it

I kept trying to sneer and instead a sob throbbed in my gob

'Sirens' really permeated Corpse's psyche. Beautiful.

 

[Corpsey]

He's my Christopher Hitchens

 

[Corpsey]

What is it about this

It's use of 'edgy' iconography (Graffiti, Banksy, punk clothes, totally twisted typeface)

But it looks like it's been meticulously created by a graphic designer, sipping herbal tea

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

My mother's extreme middle class snobbishness immunized me against this sort of thing because I couldn't ever get past seeing these people as white trash.

And no doubt still can't.

That ultimate jadedness, probably peaking around the late 90s, where the punks knew the game was up, it would all be absorbed and repackaged, the mugs don't work, MTV won, might as well join in and make a bajillion dollars

 

[Corpsey]

The 'parental advisory' sticker has become something mandatory to prove your edginess and stoke demand

"I prefer Coldplay's acoustic stuff."

"That's fascinating, let me buy you a drink."

I also had an arcade fire phase in highschool. Theyre from the suburbs of houston, which is where I lived at the time

aren't they from Montreal?

I wonder if bands like green day (not to mention coldplay) will be critically rehabilitated like e.g. britney spears at some point?

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.
