Post a controversial opinion

one of the all time best song titles ever too

pleasure of love is better than genius of love. #controversy

My controversial opinion is that I’ve never seen stop making sense

i saw it on acid. in 1984. i don't think i've seen it since.

I have great empathy for people who deserve it

Soon we'll have power, every soldier will rest
And we'll spread out our kindness
To all who our love now deserve

Everyone should see Stop Making Sense at least once. Even non-Talking Heads fans. With an audience, if possible.

'Pleasure of Love' > 'Genius of Love' = not that controversial imo.

we went and saw tom tom club in early 90s at chestnut cabaret in philly and it was so so so sad. very sad.

I enjoy Talking Heads a lot but gigs not v much and superior live versions nein danke so

I mean no, to be fair, it's not even that I don't like those things, it's just the thought of them usually fills me with an empty surge of world weariness

Maybe selective sterilization isn't the worst idea.

x-post to self OK, I know it is fascist and am not really advocating for it BUT I saw a story about a woman who left her kids in the car because they didn't want to get out and two hours later they were dead because it was 100+ in the car. She went inside and got high and took a nap while they baked to death. She claimed she thought the three year old would be able to let them out. As someone who isn't a parent but desperately wants kid(s) this shit makes me livid.

I like SMS but it's a produced, blocked and presumably practised piece of theatre just as much or more than it is a great live show caught on tape

that's what makes it so cool.

yes but it also removes the dissonance from not liking the band so much but liking SMS

Yeah, was gonna say, wanko, I think you just perfectly summed up the appeal and I don't think it pretends to be anything else. It's a concert specifically constructed as a filmic experience.

But yeah, we should probably be discussing these uncontroversial takes in a different thread.

everyone i've heard use the term 'terf bangs' had terf bangs in 2012

lol @ 'terf bangs,' fuckin every art school girl i know had them 4 years ago. it's not just terfs at all. that's like "all racists wear glasses"

god, of course not everyone who has "terf bangs" is a terf - it's a common haircut as you say, and like, i know a trans woman who has those kind of bangs. it's just kind of funny because it is a common feature of online terfs on twitter or what have you. ok it may not be that funny but it's a thing, it makes sense

it's one of those things that works only in one direction

if you have the bangs, probably not a terf. if you're an online terf, you probably got em

i don't like SMS

i don't think i want to know what 'terf' means

trans exclusionary radical feminist

How many of these people are or were fans of spock and at what point in their lives

Politics reduced to a haircut. Never change, humanity.

trenchant

I mostly associate that haircut with Zooey Deschanel.

wait are these just like short baby bangs?

blunt bangs

usually self-cut

How many of these people are or were fans of nude spock and at what point in their lives

x-post - OK so it's the self-cut and bluntness that matters not length?

Everyone who had "mall bangs" in the 80s actually went to malls though

xp yah

bangs are bad, is that a controversial opinion?

i like them

I would disagree with flopson, radical politics requires radical bangs therefore no nearer than 1/2" to the brow

definitions are if and only ifs tho

touché. as someone who had a 'hitler youth' haircut in 2012, i am obviously biased

tbh I think the rise of queer haircuts is the best trend of the 2010s. Certainly helped me figure out what to do with my hair.

I don't know what a terf bangs is though

speaking of spock, i remember back when the locust etc was a gigantic thing in san diego we called the screamo haircut "the spock"
