HER: What's wrong?
ME: Does Bowling for Soup really expect me to believe the year 1985 was "way before Nirvana," a band that formed in '87 and rose to fame in '91? It sounds like someone needs to go back to Punk Rock 101.
imagine if the DIY music scene had paparazzi. just photos of non-binary people in the worst fits you’ve ever seen getting Wawa and crying to Modern Baseball when they think no one’s looking
still can't believe that when I pirated Less Than Jake's first album in middle school I somehow got a version where someone had dubbed over their own saxophone parts
I didn't even realize until years later when I listened on Spotify and was like "hey where's the bad sax player"
if you're in the DIY scene, you could basically plagiarize Yeezus note for note and ppl would still be like "gettin some real Glocca Morra vibes from this"
if you ever think your gear is preventing you from getting your music to sound the way you want to just remember this is the computer Guilty Pleasure was mixed on
yeah guitars are cool and all, but if gigs return and u wanna start a house venue, maybe look into getting a solid PA/subwoofer so hip-hop/electronic acts can sound as 💥hype💥 as loud rock bands with big amps and drum kits
when live music comes back they gotta make a TV show called “Gig Rescue” that’s like Bar Rescue but it teaches people how to:
-diversify their lineups
-make their venue safe/inclusive
-promote their events effectively
-pay their artists
ATTENTION GAMERS: anyone looking to complete the “successful emo band” speedrun should work on their mashing skills bc if you can twinkle fast enough, the game engine can’t handle it and you can clip from your practice space directly into Audiotree
I know I said this on stage, but if you liked seeing Cheem (or any band) at Fauxchella, the best thing you can do is share the music/tell everyone about it/bring new heads to shows. there is no PR more powerful than word of mouth
wouldn't it be epic if you lived in or near any one of these cities and cheem came and rocked a show there
wouldn't it be even more epic if we potentially added some dates so we could rock even more shows in even more cities
music press: wow so crazy how rock is dead!
the whole diy scene: uh actually we’re right here tho
music press: it’s just insane 🤯 how rock music as a concept just...🤭 doesn’t exist 👨🏻💻 outside of The Lumineers and Foo Fighters 🤑
if live shows one day make a comeback and people still show up just to smoke outside for 95% of the sets or stand there with their arms crossed and refuse to clap/cheer after songs end, just throw the whole scene out tbh

if you’re a sound guy and you’re working with a band with backing tracks, just remember: they spent time to set up that extra gear because they wanted the tracks to be inaudible. don’t listen when they ask for them to be turned up, it’s a test. go smoke that cig, you earned it
r/emo is so ass lmao, someone made a thread specifically to talk about what albums you hate the most and I was like "hey why so negative" and got downvoted to oblivion
This is officially the craziest week ever
Our song “Motorola Razr” is available in Fortnite Festival, huge thanks to Epic Games for the opportunity!
Fortnite has been a big influence on our history as a band so this is really a full circle moment for us, chuggalos on the up 🫡
Cheem is the only band that could play the Gathering of the Juggalos, Warped Tour, the 311 cruise, the Weezer Cruise, Pitchfork Festival, and NPR Tiny Desk
CHEEM PRESENTS: ‘FAKE FANS’ the new single out Jan 16. We finished cooking and this banger is so searing hot it needs six more days to cool down. 100% authentically and unmistakably CHEEM. Hope you’re as excited as we are 😈👀
I get that the point of stealing famous art is to resell it for millions of dollars, but what if someone stole like the Mona Lisa and just fucking ate it
