Ariel Pink

Are you gonna look after my (proud) boys?

☹️

I'm just waiting to see what he has to do to finally get the majority of the hipsterati to despise him. short of actual crimes I'd rather not joke about (yet honestly wouldn't put past him if he's a junkie), I feel like it's gotta be vocal support for alex jones or some shit. or gamergate.

Really bummed about John Maus. The red flags were there too (e.g. https://pitchfork.com/news/john-maus-speaks-on-involvement-with-canceled-alt-right-adult-swim-show/ ) but he also had songs like “cop killer” and “rights for gays”, but I’m thinking he was being ironic with the latter, reading the lyrics under the revelation that he actually shares alt right ideologies makes it disgusting.

I really hope Pitchfork's article about them today is the last time they give either of them coverage, tbh. Would love to see Pink's next album to be greeted with the response that Ryan Adams' "comeback" album got.

Hmm... Ariel Pink IS the only person who's ever asked me to put a swastika on an album cover, so uhhh... this maybe checks out.

Since he goes on to say in the thread that he might be deleting this thread soon, the quoted tweet was noted artist Robert Beatty saying, "Hmm... Ariel Pink IS the only person who's ever asked me to put a swastika on an album cover, so uhhh... this maybe checks out."

he looks like someone tried to make a bust of kurt cobain out of ground chicken

I still have no idea who this guy is, and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.

he's hopefully over now anyway so no need to ask rly

I still have no idea who this guy is, and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.

I've known his name for years but never listened. I clicked through three or four songs on Spotify this morning; it was some of the worst shit I've ever heard. I'd say I can't believe ILXors actually listen to this garbage, but I absolutely can.

‘The Doldrums’ is a masterpiece, but that doesn’t really matter anymore

Shit, Beatty locked his Twitter account after that thread. Hoping he wasn't being set upon by rabid MAGAts.

Dedicated to Bobby Jameson was his best I thought. Good way to go out I guess. RIP

I am glad I always thought they/he sucked.

can we make this Type Of Guy extinct now please. they've had enough indulgence from the music press over the last 50 years

I only know him because he played (pretty good!) bass in a friend's band and was pretty lowkey, never heard his own tunes but yeah he seems to be long gone.

RIP

It pretty obvious this guy has always been a scumbag, but it kind of amazes me that he would pick now of all times to blow up his career over Trump.

I feel like Pink indoctrinated Maus into this bullshit. Though perhaps that's my wishful thinking

whats the over/under on him playing a trump rally in 2021

weren't there sexual assault accusations?

I just don't see "For Kate I Wait" blaring from loudspeakers at a MAGA rally.

I used to adore his music but his misogyny has mostly ruined it for me at this point. Everyone who's pointed out that the MAGA stuff is in keeping with his whole contrary asshole schtick is otm. I'm disappointed that I gave him a pass for as long as I did and for not being more critical of Maus by extension. Makes me wonder about Jorge Elbrecht, too.

Wait, he’s got an album called Pom Pom? :(

Ariel's daddy:

wow holy shit

love the can of yuengling

Always wondered what was going on there... his dad was active on Twitter in the following years: https://twitter.com/marioros?lang=en

Daddy issues appear to be a prerequisite for becoming a (male) alt-right shithead.

This made the LA Times - https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2021-01-07/ariel-pink-attended-trump-rally-capitol-riot

Ariel’s just pissed his Dad lost his inheritance.

“welcome to the panoptigan,” he tweeted, possibly meaning panopticon

Have the LA Times used this photo because he looks like such a prick here, or are there loads of photos as bad as this?

He usually looks like even more of a prick.

Jews who hang out with neonazis will never fail to disturb me.

she's alex moyer, a filmmaker who wants ariel to score her next film apparently

Lol her only directorial credit is an incel doc called TFW NO GF so courting Pink at this point seems on brand

Apparently "Alex Moyer" is also a notoriously annoying roommate to have on The Sims.

9:22 p.m.: Ariel was bullied when he was younger. He thanks his bullies now, because it taught him to grow a thick skin.

“I was a harmless little pipsqueak,” he says. “But thank goodness I had to experience that stuff. It made me who I am. I don’t want any injustice brought against the bullies. Bullies just don’t know any better. Anyone who is crying about police brutality or victimization as an adult needs to stop it and realize the privileges we have in this country.”

Jesus @ his father, what a piece of shit.

“To me, it just comes down to people who are free thinkers vs. this new soft-core authoritarianism we’re living through, which is mostly just about the mainstream media and not even the general public. People just get called “right wing” anytime they don’t fall in line with the woke/liberal narrative.“

this thread is gonna be at the top of the new answers page all weekend isn't it

oh my god the antiwoke stuff just comes off an assembly line at this point jfc
