least favorite thread titles

I just searched for "Jay-Z" "LP7" and "Jay-Z" "LP8" and the second hit on both searches was Radiohead, ha, touché

tbf jay-z announced the titles of his 7th and 8th albums (blueprint 2 and the black album) like a year ahead of time, also this was kinda pre-blog anticipation insanity (and it's different w/ rap fans in a lot of other ways anyway)

sorry, this isn't the place for that either

no, you're right, some dude, radiohead is the only famous artist to release a 7th album in the internet age; awesome job poking holes in my argument, I am shamed

i wasn't even a part of that discussion dude i was just responding to owen's tangent

obv not the "only famous band" but def the "most famous band on the internet"

haha the LP8 was not what bothers me fwiw

more the kinda passive aggressive victim/bully calling attn to itself nature of the thread title in question

1. "Do not read if you hate us" is one of the oldest ILX memes there is, it is long established and was an in-joke with another poster who had been around as long as I had, who recognised it.

2. Did you ever stop to think that just maybe, stupid meta clusterfuck shit like this is the reason that ppl like me are so "~sensitive~" in the first place?

1. no
2. kinda

yeah it's definitely upper mississippi shakedown's fault for finding a meta angle in a thread that has "Do not read if you hate Radiohead or us" in the title

more the kinda passive aggressive victim/bully calling attn to itself nature of the thread title in question

with an added dose of GET THE FUCK OVER YOURSELF ALREADY.

also masonic i mean if i'm one of the big "meta" villains in your mind on ILX well, i don't even know....in the interest of not being passive agressive i think it's really annoying the way you act like you "own" your threads, even your artwork thread which your art is really cool IMO, and at the same time you couldn't wait to gang up on contenderizer on his "why do i always get involved in clusterfucks" thread which i thought was pretty fucking rich

jay-z bloggin about radiohead prob

more the kinda passive aggressive victim/bully calling attn to itself nature of the thread title in question

I read this totally differently. I thought it was an act of consideration.

Stoner/Druggy House

^^ i'm restraining myself from going on the thread and complaining about the title.

there's this thing, that people do, where they identify a vibe they like in particular tracks, and ask for recommendations of other tracks with a similar vibe.

JAZZ IS LIKE HEROIN TO ME ! ! ! ~~~~ ILM POST-1945 blah blah

I feel mildly guilty about posting this one, but

Feminist Theory & "Women's Issues" Discussion Thread: All Gender Identities Are Encouraged To Participate

to be clear, it's just the "All Gender Identities Are Encouraged To Participate" part, as though, IDK, the transsexuals of ILX might otherwise be unsure whether the thread was a safe space for them

seems like a harmless and possibly helpful disclaimer to me, esp since otherwise a feminism thread would pretty quickly turn into a lot of "why are so many dudes posting in here, should they?" etc

Ken Marino Reprises His Role from WHAS? Children's Hospital is LULz

srsly, mordy

tbh, + this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone i guess, i can't even remember why i made that title. i assume i had something in mind but it was awhile ago and i was - uh - inebriated.

feminist theory title kinda designed to make me never look at it. nothing against the people on it or whoever started it, just titles like that in general...

Mordy Reprises His Role from SMH

50 Memorable Songs Of The Late 1990s That Apparently Only You Remember, Even Though They Were Totally On The Radio And Stuff

if only you remember them, how memorable can they be? and stuff

just about every old thread title of mine makes me cringe. jesus christ, i can't believe everyone here isn't completely sick of me. i was searching for something on ilx and oooooooooof i hit a bunch of them and i really must of been out of my mind. so annoying.

i thought there was something of a buried joke in the feminist thread title

scott: never change

haha, i'll cop to my 90s thread title kind of sucking, you know what it's getting at though!!

jesus christ, i can't believe everyone here isn't completely sick of me.

Neither can I

Electronic Artist You'd Most Like To Put In Your... Y'Know

(on board with the spirit of the thread, mind you, it's just the ellipsis)

no, the whole thing is horrible

ehh, I basically can't hate on "let's post eye candy" threads even if I personally don't have any need in my life for eye candy of electro stubble males. Besides, I lost any right to complain about such things when i started my Maggie Gyllenhaal crush thread.

tbf, you didn't start a thread called "I want to put my... in Maggie Gyllenhaal"

electronic artists...? In my...y'know?

I did, though, just not in those words. But obviously we're talking about the irritation factor of specific wordings of thread titles and mine was more in the "overlong overworked dr. casino thread title" genre.

now i remember why i hide poll threads. the radiohead dude is an electronic artist?

lol

acts who made some great records when they started, declined to mediocre/shitty records and went back to make great records again

threads that effortlessly sum up the spirit of ILM

haha seriously

i don't feel so bad about my old thread titles anymore:

Radiohead LP9 Anticipation, Fangirling and random Cheesecake Thread (Do not read if you hate Radiohead or us)

should be Beefcake thread though, right?

for real though you own this cassingle and you are good to go as far as radiohead goes:
