That picture of Tina makes her look like a Spitting Image puppet.

It's been pointed out recently that (anecdotally, at least) a lot of musicians marketed as "indie" come from privileged backgrounds.

I can't really tell who the people in the picture are though. Iggy Azalea, mid-period Edward Furlong, and mayyyyyyybe Grimes?

peace, man, Friday, 9 June 2023 11:16 (three years ago)

One of them is Samia, I think.

And Julian Casablancas?

INDEPENDENTS DAY BY STEVEN SPILBERG (President Keyes), Friday, 9 June 2023 12:08 (three years ago)

I think maybe it's done in a purposefully dank (?) style

but yeah quite a few indie musicians with famous parents, no big shock but there were some thinkpieces on it a while ago

explaining this meme is not helping

corrs unplugged, Friday, 9 June 2023 14:44 (three years ago)

i liked it, corrs. i think memes are the perfect format for calling out privilege: a light roast.

my beard exists more than i do. (Austin), Friday, 9 June 2023 15:03 (three years ago)

xp President Keyes, looks like you're right on both counts. Person 1 is still a mystery participant though.

peace, man, Friday, 9 June 2023 15:03 (three years ago)

And yeah, I like the idea behind the meme - I just genuinely didn't recognize the people!

peace, man, Friday, 9 June 2023 15:05 (three years ago)

The meme would be more effective if one weren't a (non-indie) musician whose parentage was a hot topic 20+ years ago, and the other two unrecognizable

Day 1 fan (morrisp), Friday, 9 June 2023 15:24 (three years ago)

Samia is the daughter of the actress from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Not sure how much that helped career, but whatever.

I think the 3rd one is King Princess, whose great-great grandfather was a founder of Macy's

Always ask a man his salary

brimstead, Friday, 9 June 2023 15:34 (three years ago)

I've heard of asking for a man's credit score on a date before.

Calling out “nepo babies” is a thing among my 21yo’s online circle

good. bout time somebody started questioning how rigged the game is.

Samia is also really good so who cares?

I’m gonna be That Guy… a joke like this hinges on specificity:

I saw these guys open for Pavement at All Tomorrow’s Parties in ‘97 they were BRILLIANT. pic.twitter.com/iUiPmKj7Tf

He could’ve just said “opening for Pavement in ‘97,” and it would’ve been fine. A good chunk of the tweet’s audience will immediately recognize that ATP didn’t exist then (and it doesn’t really make sense to say “opening for” in a festival context anyway).

xxp I hate to be humorless in this thread and I actually dig the meme otherwise, but not loving putting "Insane" at the opposite end of the spectrum from "Good". Coulda gone with Bad Religion, Bad Company...

Lavator Shemmelpennick, Friday, 16 June 2023 16:49 (two years ago)

Isn’t it a play on “chaotic” though (I.e., as close as they can get to that)?

Day 1 fan (morrisp), Friday, 16 June 2023 16:52 (two years ago)

Surprised they didn't use ICP

it might be, but the word they are replacing is "evil"

Think it's as simple as Neutral Clown Posse and Insane Charlotte being much funnier than Neutral Religion and Bad Charlotte

the person who made that is a self-described polyamorous dirtbag christian, so make of that what you will

Not sure what the current position is on polyamorous dirtbag christians.

okay, and now you have to explain it to me

oh, thanks.

assuming you know thr Dinosaur L track, uhh... a slinky is a kind of spring but it doesn't resist being compressed enough to go "boing!" like all the other springs, it just collapses into itself.

idk, it's really goofy

Out on the road today I saw a toddler on a tricycle wearing this shirt:

I mean, yeah, it's a specific demographic that will get the joke. For good or for ill, I am in that selfsame demographic.

It's the same people who bought the Nirvana lullabies CDs in 2008. Again, it me.

I might have been peaced out of ILX when it happened, but is Austin around? Anyone heard from him recently?
