Post a controversial music opinion

They’re four dudes who look and sound like an LA hair metal band from the ’80s, right, but (and here comes the punchline) they’re doing it today. The gag involves dumb guitar riffs and even dumber lyrics about sex, babes and metal. Gleeful misogyny is built into the routine and their earlier work also boasted flourishes of racism and homophobia. Ladies and gentlemen: this is incel rock.

this is the worst possible beach boys discussion

Pom did manage to post a legitimately controversial music opinion.

The word "incel" is only about 15 years old - there was an episode of Reply All about the woman who coined it.

Gone down a rabbit hole now about this ad man who was hired by Brian Wilson to write the lyrics to one of the best-regarded LPs in history and has basically not worked in music beyond this?! all new to me.

The only way forward is to hijack it into an even worse discussion about another canonical band/album, but I'm out of challops for the moment.

xps fuck off people are allowed to find songs creepy without studying the author's personal life in detail

loads of rock has been incel especially on the indie/emo side of things. there's also plenty of incel rap, incel country, incel pop, incel literature etc. or is incel a slur now

Led Zeppelin should be permanently cancelled for being child rapists

How about: Pet Sounds is also responsible for the unspeakable horrors of 80s sophisti-pop (fade into challop #2).

(Needs some work tbh.)

hi left! 🙂

On the contrary, I'm suprised it's that old.

TS: incel rock vs simp rock.

The story of the coining of Incels is interesting, if you can take podcasts/ Reply All

i'm actually v interested in that thanks for linking caal

oh and there's a transcript so i don't even have to listen, god bless

neon genesis evangelion is incel anime

I've seen Weezer described as incel rock.

pinkterton is the most incel album ever recorded

cancel that proto-4chan edgelord don quixote

Don't forget Dante.

I never finished don quixote but there’s a pretty good demolition of his incel mindset pretty early on iirc

castrati surely the ur-incel rock

lol

Haven't seen that Farinelli biopic but isn't he portrayed as a massive horndog?

Yes, also you're not missing much.

Castrati were famous for having plenty of sex, which it is of course still possible to do without a penis.

This whole topic is giving me Hobo Johnson flashbacks. I only have myself to blame.

Alessandro Moresci certainly saw some action

Sounds painful.

er...

Cutting off a penis to make a castrato is like the platonic ideal of taking an action that will disappoint everyone

Can't believe incel is a slur now

Isn't the process of making a castrato singer basically lost in the sands of time? I remember reading something where every European city that supposedly knew the secret would say, "No, we don't do that here, but in the next town over..."

Not simply that it isn't done now, but no-one knows how it was done then.

you don't cut off the whole cock, what do you think the ancients were, savages?

Basic biology says you cut off the testicles, not the penis.

zackly

oh that's what you were saying ok yeah

If only castration was still practiced on anything then maybe we'd understand the mystery

It's not practiced on singers!

Non-human singers tho.

we know what castration is, though

You know, there's something castrato-esque about the Beach Boys's vocal harmonies.

castration is cutting the penis off lads. ask any ox

ok folks i've cut off my penis and testicles. what next?

make an ile poll about this for the love of god

put them in the box, crut

We need some kind of "pet sounds" to resolve this quandary.
