thread to argue about whether sexism is inherent to the discussion of image/appearance/attractiveness of musicians

what if you find them attractive because you like their music and think they're extremely talented and amazing?

What if live music performance is both an audio and visual medium?

it's kinda amazing that ppl can post on this board for so long and not understand what types of posts riles up other posters

I sure do

and if you like their music AND you find them attractive?

I probably wouldnt mention their attractiveness. I probably wouldnt mention anyway but maybe its sort of the difference between "a musician who happens to be cute" and "a cute person who apparently makes some terrible music i have no interest in". Though in both cases cant imagine commenting on appearance in their thread (anyway isnt that what the "would smash" thread is for?)

― how's life,

sure, although I dont like live music so I leave this conundrum to others

for live music see also music videos

Can't believe maura said that nobody is ever allowed to mention a band's image, RIP free speech I guess :-(

no gods, no masters

Lol crut

what if you find them attractive because you like their music and think they're extremely talented and amazing?

it is probably helpful to remember that dog latin's opinions on the attractiveness of musicians aren't really of much interest to anyone

if you believe that sexism courses thru society - a hegemonic omnipresent fact of life - than really nothing is completely free of the specter of sexism and certainly not discussing the attractiveness of musicians.

read that as scepter of sexism

ok, no I didn't

Puzzled as to why dog latin is ilx's whipping boy.

no, that title still belongs to imago

my whip usage there was completely indiscriminate

would make for an interesting indiana jones tbh

using his whip to grab a cup of tea off a serving tray, etc.

"Indy, please be more discriminate about your whip usage."

this thread is definitely going in good-faith places

*whips the television on to TBS*

My understanding was that we'd agreed that maura is OTM and that the genesis and continued use of this thread are a bit absurd. hence horribly formed joeks, but I can stop posting.

Well, while we're on the subject... JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, WHAT HAPPENED TO JULIAN CASABLANCAS, didn't he used to be hott? I mean, his music has always been terrible, but was I tripping balls when I thought he was at least attractive?

I don't even want to know what's happened here.

who'd have thought the "thread to argue about whether sexism is inherent to the discussion of image/appearance/attractiveness of musicians" might end up in bad-faith places

(OK, admittedly, that was just trolling.)

why is that guy bending beardo+w glasses over his knee like he's going to spank him

"yo I'm gettin spanked"

you just couldn't leave it in the 'judge others' parenting' thread, eh?

There was once a time when I would have happily volunteered to spank Julian C's arse, but I'm not touching that. Nope.

he kinda gives judd nelson vibes now

or just 80s high school bully vibes anyway

No, no, Judd Nelson vibes were what he was giving off back in 2001 or whatever. Now he just looks like the kid at back of BOCES who eats industrial glue.

― Οὖτις,

it doesn't look like he's getting spanked, he's getting spliced

i recently saw this one pic of julian casablancas smiling and he looked like ray romano. i can't find it right now though.

hahaha

getting SPLACKED rather *whips autocorrect*

Casablancas looked like he was tarred and feathered

What the fuck drugs was I taking in 2001 or whenever to make him look even remotely attractive. (Don't answer that.)

the drugs you take while listening to an Interpol record called El Pintor

(sorry – couldn't resist)

he's 36.

You know, to cut off his head and show more of his thighs.

But no, we just make fun of the (lack of) male attractiveness and make jokes about "uglitude".

What did I do? Both SD and the press joked at the time about their appearance...not smart enough to tell what alarm bells I set off but whatever it was, I apologize!

Kessler's 40 next week, and still looks like this:

No excuse.

He looks like bloody indie Henry Winkler chewing fecking plums! I said without any trace of jealousy.

but what if lana del ray were a man? what then? (credit: clickhole)

casablancas has always looked schlubby to me! Part of the charm, imo.

he's 36.

still lying, i bet

I have hardly any idea what most new artists I listen to even look like these days. The visual component in the media package for music seems less important lately. Of course, I'm willing to bet I'm the exception to the rule.
