will noisey have moved forward, done the work and fought like fuck?

it's cool though that they were able to get some much-needed commentary from Macklemore

Lonely guy just thinking baout white supremacy haircuts

tbh I had a haircut like that pic last year and people just assumed I was friends with all the local anti-racist dudes who had been skinheads in the past

obviously changed my hairstyle before people decided I must be into third-wave ska

That headline is like the exact inverse to India.Arie's "I Am Not My Hair"

lol

please start a separate thread if they get 'neb to write a piece In Praise of the Blended Haircut

Cool how their editor-in-chief came at a Black woman music writer on some "angry Black woman" stereotype shit, really doing the work there!

We're going to fight like fuck to provide an outlet to artists and writers of color, to writers who are women, who are immigrants, who are Muslim, who are working class, and who are members of the LGBTQIA community

Let's get into the new album. Talk about what went into this lyrically first. You mentioned writing pseudo-political songs, was there a political element to this album?

Cuomo: Yeah, there's like a little current events stuff, a little. It's very, like all the songs are very... material. It's not so autobiographical. There's a lot of like, made up shit. There's like random stories and stuff and a lot of fiction. Some stuff that was going on at the time. The material lyrically and stuff is a lot different from each other.

not surprised that half the articles on noisey still white pseudo punk rockers w no convictions or aims beyond getting wasted

i suppose Chicago doesn't really have much political stuff to talk about these days...

is that a ref to a particular article or is noisey chicago-biased iyo

the Orwells (linked above) are from Chicago

they've always seemed like idiots. thought they'd grow up eventually...

ah

Fred Durst said of his own band's sound that "I know y'all be loving this shit right here" and the people did. They truly did love that shit. Let's all put on our caps, tilt them backwards, and reminisce on the glory days.

Phil is a nu-metal archivist.

It's a dirty job and nobody had to do it.

It's funny, every time I think people could not be any less interested in nu-metal in 2017, I come across someone who is really into Korn or Papa Roach or something and is continuing to follow 'em. It surprises me because even at the time I thought it'd be a passing fad that would be over within a few years and it wasn't surprised at all when that turned out to be the case, but also because I never expected the appeal of these bands to last beyond people's teenage years.

Papa Roach AFAIC passed into cool territory the other day with their Twitter responses to the fake Paul Ryan story after the failed health care vote. Couldn't give a care for their music but they're obviously in the right place headspace-wise.

Korn's impact on metal I can acknowledge without thinking anything more about them.

Deftones were always the nu metal band it was ok to like

I'd put System of a Down in that category, too.

never expected the appeal of these bands to last beyond people's teenage years.

tbf ~95% of people tend to just listen to stuff they loved during their teenage years

the fake Paul Ryan story

aww what that wasn't real?!? i should have known it was too good to be true

https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/a-look-into-the-musical-career-of-republican-lawmaker-and-alleged-red-pill-founder-robert-fisher

nothing screaming fighting the power like devoting front page real estate to in-depth reviews of everything the Red Pill guy recorded

Noisey, an online descendant of Creem with the Oral Roberts dropout Eric Sundermann as its Dave Marsh, the brash punk Dan Ozzi its Lester Bangs, and the extreme-metal feminist Kim Kelly its Jaan Uhelszki.

lmao ok xgau

we should all be virtue signaling more i guess. also swearing

i like kim kelly

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/chelsea-tattoo-no-regrets

this guy got tattoos of Hillary and Chelsea. what you YOU done?

what have YOU done?, even

i like kim kelly

she ended up being one of my favourite characters on freaks and geeks

Smith said he's hopes to get a Bill tattoo to complete the trilogy ("might as well get 'em all, right?" he said) but for now he only has portraits of Hillary, Chelsea, and, uh, Howard Stern. "I'm a fan and longtime supporter of him" he told me. "Howard is a longtime Hillary supporter, too, by the way."

seems like a cool guy

kim is good i'm mostly indicating the other two clowns

Kim is great.

And shouts out to America's Funniest Home Videos who are still dedicated to finding video of people hurting/demeaning themselves after all these years.

https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/slipknot-fan-recovering-from-dental-surgery-unlocks-meaning-of-life

thirding/fourthing that Kim is great

^can't stop, won't stop

(By which I mean, one more for the Kim Kelley greatness acknowledgement chain)

I, too, think Kim Kelly is the bee's knees

TIL Vice has a series called Jungletown that is a reality tv spin on neocolonialism. a for-profit South American village whose founder is promoted in this Vice video series as a "visionary". wiki:

Despite Kalu Yala's stated altruistic, sustainability and educational goals, the venture is profit seeking and solicited a $12 million Series A venture capital round with the intent to a achieve a $100 million valuation in five years.

do the work

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/3kabqb/the-single-payer-problem-liberals-dont-want-to-talk-about

What's this about a problem, I hear you ask? The current health insurance industry bureaucracy hires lots of low-income women to work at crappy jobs that might disappear under single-payer.

So, how about using some of the massive savings created by single payer to set up high quality subsidized child care or some other badly needed social services and hire those low-income women to do something more socially useful than pushing paper or answering phones?

Good zing about the author's twitter bio

"Writer. Busy doing important work" is just "CEO at gettin money inc" for people who only worked as unpaid interns until age 30
