      The bad praxis started way before, when they decided to host their group in a closed source, private company service instead of self host a free software service. If he’s getting a virus is because he use windows too, imagine calling yourself anarchist and be owned by Microsoft.

              I actually only know these bands at all from torrenting a huge file of twee/indie pop stuff on a whim when I was like 19 and I listened very unevenly to it. I know the phrase throw Aggi off the bridge but only from a Tullycraft song that referenced it, don’t think I’ve ever even listened to Black Tambourine.

              I don’t even know what made me do this, I think maybe I watched But I’m a Cheerleader and really liked the Go Sailor songs?

                Sean from Tullycraft along with his wife Liz have a wonderful indie pop radio show on Friday nights called Pop Songs your new boyfriend’s too stupid to know about on Space 101FM out of Seattle. They upload the shows online if you want to jump back in to the current indie pop landscape. It’s how I discovered Me Rex among others.

          No vibes are “objectively the worst” because everything that flows from a human mind without reproducing reactionary thought is enough. Putting arbitrary limitations on the art one has to produce, or trying to coerce other’s art into these little corners of what is “cool” or “not cringe”, is the root cause of the more “intellectual” forms of cringe culture and the numerous sacrifical trash of the week rage bait right wing youtuber content mills.

          People on the internet in general need to learn that, while it’s perfectly fine to dislike something, not vibe with it, whatever, that that doesn’t make it “bad” and even if saying it’s “bad” isn’t meant in any sort of “objective” way, it still reproduces and reinforces a culture of self-policed expression, of masking.

          Lots of critiques people make on the internet of things other than music still work because it always consists of something other than just “it’s bad”. It’s always, “oh, this reproduces this ideology I don’t like”, or “oh, it doesn’t make sense because of this plot hole”. But because any sort of similar trait in music can be equally desirable for another person as it is repugnant for the one pointing it out, you can’t really do this with music, unless you’re critiquing lyrics or a music video specifically.

          I don’t see any room for calling music (or it’s titles) good or bad beyond mean-spirited bullying, which yes, can be good, if it’s reactionary music. Punk isn’t, well, most of the time.

          The fact of the matter is that this is just objectively wrong, and plenty of people like “whimsical” things, and plenty of people DESPISE “whimsical” things, and plenty of people just don’t care, and that’s going to be a thing with any vibe or aesthetic until the sun boils over.

      what is wrong with hexbear users and punk? actually, scratch that, what’s wrong with them and music in general? can’t go a single second mentioning a band or something without someone shitting out their own random take about music as if it’s a gift from God themself.

          It’s not the posting, it’s the posting as if your post is somehow objective fact

          like “i dont like this genre” is a normal and fair thing that people say, but “this genre is BAD” is a weird way to put it

            You can interpret through context cues whether a statement is an opinion or a fact without someone pointing it out as a disclaimer. If I say ‘the red hot chili peppers suck’, it should be pretty easy to figure out its a subjective statement because whether or not music is bad is inherently subjective and you can tell its just my opinion because I’m the one who said it. No one is ever stating that these are demonstrable facts because that would be impossible so even if somehow that is what they mean it can’t possibly be true and must therefore be a statement of their opinion despite their intent and should be treated as such.

                My gripes are personal. I’ve lost all my high school friend to folk punk, not that they died from it, (those were people I met later) they just started dressing like Peter pan and calling themselves stuff like Feather and Navi and starting bands called Drop Out/Fall in Love and Buy Nothing Life despite being recent high school graduates with swimming pools cause at the end of the day they were just upper class band geeks. Punk is loud and noisy rock n roll that gives you permanent hearing loss from basement shows. Punk is about wearing studs and having cool hair.

                  “Real Punk” only consists of the nyc/london Classic Punk scene and the 80’s hardcore scene and its descendants. What is known by “Folk Punk” is nothing but Folk music with questionable real punk influence. When people try to argue that bands like Billy Bragg are not real punk, while saying that Johnny Hobo is, I can’t help not to cringe because they are just as fake punk as Billy Bragg (plus the adolescent cringe). Real punk sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake punk is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL PUNK are Amebix, Catharsis, Blackbird Raum (the only real punk band from the folk punk scene) and Man is the Bastard. Some examples of FAKE PUNK are Pat the Bunny, Chris Burrows and Defiance, Ohio PUNK BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO FOLK, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE

                A person can speak an opinion objectively and it’s still an opinion. It’s a very very common use of speech. That doesn’t mean it isn’t inherently an opinion, if you respond to an opinionative statement as if it were factual I’d say that’s more on the respondent. If someone is stating an opinion factually and making bild statements around it, they could in fact be using hyperbole. This is all really normal forms of communication thst as soon as people log on they lose the ability to parse.

                  Im not saying you’re wrong, I’m saying that a lot of (other to be honest because it’s not really present here) times I’ve seen people then take that opinion and then start attacking or demeaning for instance, people who like what they said they dislike. I’m talking about music here specifically, not Treat Discourse.

                  I am somewhat disconnected from the whole thing because I have a hard time really, like, genuinely finding genres bad. There’s probably something out there I dislike but calling it “bad” gives me bad feelings, because I’m constantly aware of the fact that other people can have different tastes, and have had my tastes change dramatically, so I could just end up accidentally implying I have bad taste later in life or something.

          The amount of time I spend with this community correlates with how different from other places online I perceive it to be. It’s waxed and waned over the last 6 or so years, but lately I feel like I’m biding my time until someone enthusiastically different (better) than the rest of the Internet comes along
