When people freak out over the Cybertruck like it’s some sort of next level innovation... we could be doing so much more as a country. People need to dream bigger.
I just want to be an artist. I don’t want to have to make TikTok videos of me in my studio or whatever just to be seen and relevant. Artists are expected to do so much now to just simply promote themselves and say “hi I’m here please remember I exist”
So VICE is going bankrupt…. I still can’t really forgive that company for taking over an entire block in Williamsburg and destroying 3 of the best DIY venues in the city in one day. Death By Audio, Glasslands, & 285 Kent.
Lil Peep should definitely be in the position that MGK is in right now. He was a genuine artist and would probably be one of the most famous artists in the world right now . His passing is such a huge loss for music. MGK’s team definitely stole everything from peep’s momentum.
last thing Im going to say about this and then Im done. I dont know this person, never even listened to their music. maybe theyre great idk. but mgk co-opting Lil Peep’s style so soon after his passing never sat right with me. Peep was a visionary, mgk is a shameless appropriator
21 Savage rapped about the immigration issue at the boarder and the Flint Michigan water crisis on The Tonight Show
5 days later, he got arrested by the ICE because his visa expired 14 years ago. He is expected to be deported back to the UK.

It’s crazy because under that video are so many comments still saying that blowing those kids up is somehow the fault of Hamas, or self defense. The zionists are able to twist everything. And accept no responsibility for any sort of horrific crime.
When I hung out with Lil Peep’s mom, I told her that she raised a really special kid. She told me that she knew that. He had so much more art and music to give the world.

Fun will not be tolerated if you are poor !! Fun and entertainment is only for the rich. Poor people should be punished for not being rich.
So funny pitchfork is going back and changing scores like “sorry we didn’t understand this at the time, but now that we see how successful it became, we like it better now”
The media is losing their shit over Elon musk smoking weed. meanwhile at burning man, every big name tech CEO is high on LSD and poppers at a furry orgie.
I love the youth, but one thing I have observed and find strange about Gen Z is that they really don’t know about any (underground) music from 10+ years ago. They aren’t independently researching what came before them.
@CarmineSabia
It was criminal behavior to help slaves escape. It was criminal behavior to help Jews hide from the nazis. It was criminal to hide from the nazis. Legality has nothing to do with what’s right.
there is a whole new generation of young “artists” who have never been exposed to underground music or a DIY show, or even played a show, whose only influence is like blink 182, dressed up in leather jackets and chains making teen pop music disguised as “punk” . It’s so weird
It’s been 27 years since Kurt Cobain died. He was 27 at the time of his death. I always loved this photo of him at the coliseum in Rome on the first European Nirvana tour in 1989.

Wow what a hilariously dumb view to take. Really owning the left with how smart you are ! Trump can’t be racist because he forced himself on a black woman! Checkmate libtards !
A person just DMed me to thanking me for my art and music and that they are having a legal assisted suicide in Switzerland for a terminal illness …. and that they are going to go out while listening to my song “post physical” . 😨 omg
One time years ago I went on a date to a skrillex show with a girl in LA... she ended up making out with some other guy and went home with him. I was staying with her and had no where to go so she gave me the keys to her house and I went there alone. It was crazy lol
I miss DIY blogs. people used to really care about music. Do young people even know that people used to share and write passionately about underground things they thought were interesting on the internet? Lol
My studio was robbed in Brooklyn. Every single piece of music equipment I own is gone. My monitors, an old computer, like 5 synths, samplers, mixers, drum machines. Everything. Im dumbfounded.
So much has been written about the music scenes in the early 2000’s, like “meet me in the bathroom”… but I feel like there is no real book or film that focuses on the underground DIY period of like 2006-2014. It feels like a lost time that was so creative and wild.
@RyanAFournier
So you are saying.... if there were no cops, you would go around murdering people? Cops are the only thing stopping you from going on killing sprees ?
its crazy how i cant get my new album reviewed on major websites, but instead see all of them write articles on how Lil Xan "overdosed on hot cheetos" . this is just the way it is now.
All these conservative people are like “what’s next, Mount Rushmore?!” the answer is YES. That is like the final boss of fucked up and offensive monuments. It was created as a total white supremacist slap in the face to the native Americans.
My friend came to school one day in 11th grade and showed us all his new tattoo of a clock on his dick that said “4:20: time to fly” . That guy is now the tour manager for Migos. No joke.
@KaitMarieox
Maybe you could read a book or watch some documentaries and educate yourself on the struggle homosexuals have faced in America and around the world. But I’m guessing that would be way too much work for you.
I still can’t believe the amount of terrible art made in to NFT’s and the amount of money they sell for. It’s really depressing to me. Very discouraging to me as a creative person. It makes me feel like I’m insane.
This famous “influencer” kid named Cameron Dallas wanted to charge me $40,000 for an Instagram post wearing Alien Body. $17,000 for a story post. I’m not joking. Does my brand come across like we have this kind of money? Should I be flattered? Lol 😳 (who are these people?!)
When I was in 5th grade, as a reward for good behavior, my teacher, Ms Garcia would dim the lights and let us dance on top of our desks while she played “Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)” by Enya.
True story: I was hit up to produce the music that would be Zac Efron’s beats in that hilarious EDM movie. I don’t know how to make EDM so I had my friend Aaron David Ross from Gatekeeper help. They never used what we sent. But I did go to the film premier lol
I know I’m old. But to me this is really cringe. I don’t know when it became cool or hip for young kids to have to spend $10K on one outfit. It’s really dorky and lame. And I feel bad for the youth that think this is what the have to do to be cool.
Do a lot of artists/musicians not speak out when they see things that are wrong cuz they think it will somehow alienate their fan base or hurt their career? I’ll just say it now, fuck the president, fuck ICE rounding up people in the streets, and fuck these concentration camps.
I played this show too. I’ll always remember being on stage and turning around and ASAP Rocky and Araab Muzik were just behind me vibing . Arca also DJed. Grimes was DJing a bunch of Skrillex tracks. Definitely an insane party lol. Brooklyn 2012
Wow just heard one of my favorite NYC graffiti writers passed away. RIP RAMBO. Dude was really a legend in the city. I loved seeing his work around always. He had the wildest billboards I’ve ever seen. So raw
Pay musicians. Buy their music. Go to their shows. Buy merch from them. It means a lot to us. Right now the industry is rigged against the artists. Support them.
The federal government just pumped 1.5 TRILLION dollars in to the failing stock market. But people still ask how we are supposed to pay for Medicare for everyone. They have the money. They just don’t give a fuck about people.
I’m stoned on CBD gummies and im about to meet up with a stranger from Instagram who is paying me to write a bible verse on their sword. If I get killed this will be a good last tweet.
I’ll never forget the time I hung out with Lindsay Lohan and I tried to explain to her that she was a witch house icon and she literally didn’t understand what underground music was.
It’s hard enough being a working musician in 2019 just trying to get your music heard by people, then you have jaded critics making jokes about your art after your years of hard work. It’s just demoralizing. Critics are not artists themselves and it’s weird we take them seriously
I don’t think a lot of people know that Andrew WK came out of the harsh noise underground and released music on Bulb records with artists like Wolf Eyes and Mindflayer
I just want to say that I love Pittsburgh... but I want everyone to see this pizza that we got in Pittsburgh last night at some place that only sold pizza and cigars. The only place we could find for late food. The pizza was so fucked up that it was psychedelic. It made no sense.
I helped lil peep cut his 21st birthday cake on Halloween. I hung out with him and his mom. I’m so fucking pissed . Crying . I don’t know who to talk to.
Regardless your feelings about Antifa, what the president is saying here is if you oppose his government, you can be charged as a terrorist. This is very scary. Antifa is not an organization. They could say anyone was Antifa and you would be thrown in prison. It’s FASCISM.

@rooshv
These idiots aren’t reporting women for breaking the law. They are reporting them out of spite and hatred because of their own problems. It’s obvious and sad.
