re: Black Dresses, it’s fascinating to me just how unique the toxicity within uber-queer fanbases is — not saying it’s more toxic than cishet fanbases (south park says hi) but rather that this type of fanbase pushes back against its creators in a unique way— David Simon (@snidelaughter) May 22, 2020

expand and view the replies for more
this comes a week or two after fantano gave them 9/10 and thus inadvertently sicked his horrible fanbase onto them. not blaming him for this really (especially as BD cause RYM chart drama every time they release an album) but it is so shit how online responses to artists often work now

I still have no idea what happened.

Black Dresses breaking up bc they asked tiktok cosplayers to stop doing cutesy edgy lipsync to a song about child sexual assault and got harassed for it, i truly will be burying myself alive— esther miri rose (@EstherOnFilm) May 23, 2020

i still have no idea what happened because i literally have twitter blocked on my computer as a malicious site, which it is, and which, since i'm drunk, i'll go ahead and recommend everybody else do. immediately.

this is one of the best things either of them have done, together or apart
― imago, Sunday, 31 May 2020 20:07 (four years ago) link
Yeah, I love this. Got me quite emotional earlier today. I think I strongly lean towards the simpler, almost Strawberry Switchblade-ish electropop songs, that level out the screechier stuff.

I remember kind of sleeping on the last Black Dresses album out of fatigue from the sheer volume of amazing output, but my god Peaceful As Hell has been on repeat since it came out and it still feels totally fresh and full of depth.
The new Katie Dey singles are sooo beautiful.

it's probably their best album on balance

I wasn't that mad on this when I first checked it out as it's kinda "just" pop-punk, but it's recently got its hooks into me and is currently on repeat play mode. Such a bop.

meantime i'm over here going "thank god, i'm not the only one feeling these things"
it definitely... i mean it's been five years and it's 2024 and i find the stuff they're saying, the bits i can understand (i can't make out lyrics very well) _very personally relatable_

I could just copy and paste lyrics all day like a 13 year old, it's that kind of record
