I’m glad the scene has mostly decided we hate MGK again, but I won’t forget y’all saying he was gonna save pop punk and that his album was a top 10 of 2020, y’all are still heinous af for that.
The funniest part about this stupid ass picture is that the cover band is in it and the only reason they got the tour in the first place was cuz Spiritbox dropped and they took their spot lmao.
Merch seller discourse reminded me of the time the Woe, Is Me’s merch guy on warped had a BOTDF (who was on the tour) cd glued to his tip can that said “tip me if you hate this album” and I tipped him without even buying anything cuz that shit was so funny lmao
It’s so funny to me that Radke’s whole defense when he fights with other bands is how much more money he makes than them and then his fans that work normal ass jobs are just like “yeah, broke ass!” like congrats y’all are the Elon fanboys of metalcore lmao
“Guys, he’s gonna take small pop punk bands on tour! This is so good for the scene! Watch, he’s gonna have neck deep and state champs as direct support I promise! In my yeeeeaaaaad!” -y’all in 2020
Remember when y’all said MGK was gonna help the pop punk scene thrive by taking bands on tour and supporting other artists in the genre and then he didn’t do any of that lol
@Desponded12
Nah, no band that tours with FIR deserves respect imo, but I know they do more than covers lol. I fucked with a record or two of theirs back in the day
Waterparks: “we bend genres, we’re so quirky, we might not even bring openers cuz we hate bands right now and think we’re above that”
Issues, an actual creative band: *brings an instrumental band, an emo rapper, and a spacey experimental metal band on tour*
Writing anti vax songs doesn’t make you hard or edgy, it just makes you an idiot. Let’s not promote this kinda shit y’all, this is the opposite of what the scene needs
WOW I AM BLOWN AWAY!!!!
Honestly this one cuts deep. Right to the true emotion and depth of the lyrics. What an amazing cover
@RonnieRadke
I’m trippin
We are humbled that this song, 20+ years later continues to be meaningful to so many. Well done
@FIROfficial
& Ronnie ❤️
It’s wild af to me that people still listen to this dude. Like I get he’s got hella conservative radio rock fans now that are keeping him afloat but like so many people in the scene are still up his ass
We all shitting on Adele for the vinyl thing, but let’s not forget T. Sw*ft had a fuckin quadruple LP pressed of a re-recorded album during a vinyl shortage lol
Y’all this was more of a “I’m tired of hearing travis play on everything” thing than a slander at any artist in particular. Not everyone he’s played for is bad lol.
MGK does suck ass though.
I’m always surprised that Glassjaw hasn’t had a massive resurgence among the younger side of the scene w/ how popular both shoegazy hardcore/metalcore & progressive post hardcore have gotten.

This is on par with that falling in reverse/Tom Macdonald tour for worst tour lineups of all time lmao. On international women’s day no less, fucking gross lol
in honor of elon musk erroneously announcing he’s going to remove the block featuring, let’s share our favorite blocks. i’ve had this one for about 5-6 years. ahead of the curve.
Starting a vinyl thread, my collection is small so far but I’m adding more to it soon so I’ll be updating it!
untitled - blink-182
I love the matching splatter on this one, fits the album art perfectly
I swear every time Ronald gets even the littlest amount of shit for all of the awful things he’s done in the past, Telle will be there within 12 hours to say some shit like “you should try loving people instead of cancelling them!” Bro he’s not gonna take y’all on tour, shut up
5 years ago I played my first show as a full time pulses. member, now we’re in our van listening to our 3rd album on the way from our Chicago show to our Pittsburgh show. Love being in this band so much, so grateful for all the experiences we’ve had & proud of our accomplishments
@Bringodile
@MarvelStudios
Cuz they have the rights back and can include them in the MCU now where they couldn’t before. Plus the last one was fucking awful lol.
Willow is great, Trippie has had some decent stuff, PVRIS is solid (though I’m surprised Lynn would tour with him tbh), but that’s not what mfs were saying he was gonna do at all lol
@SeanlessEmpire
there is no color in music.......it comes down to how it sounds to people. We know pop, country and hip hop are inferior to rock and metal.
I would love to take a booster shot and then go see Chon but I can’t cuz of y’all so maybe you should focus on paying your artists instead of trying to be the Fox News of washed up metalcore labels.
We do not believe anyone should be forced to take a covid booster shot every year for the REST OF THEIR LIVES like the FDA now suggests. That is your personal choice. If you think people shouldn’t be allowed at shows unless they have every booster every year, then we disagree🎶💜
Miranda Cosgrove says she has never been drunk or smoked in her entire life:
“I've never even been buzzed. I've sipped things before, but like two sips.”
AOTY & EPOTY lists
Listened to 250+ projects this year, had about 150 in my green category on my spreadsheet to sift through for both of these lists so there’s a lot that didn’t fit that I still absolutely loved, gonna post all of those unranked later probably!
Spotify will reportedly change how artists are paid starting in 2024:
• New threshold of minimum annual streams that a track must reach before it generates royalties.
• Penalties for labels when fraudulent activity is detected.
• Minimum play length on non-music noise
Mfs commenting “why do you have to get political” on a post that literally has a promo from like 10+ years ago of Rou wearing a free Gaza shirt is so funny, like y’all are just as stupid as the mfs that are surprised RATM doesn’t like cops lol
