Pretty sure this music is aimed at 'never been kissed' teenage boys.

i guess i will be the voice of dissent
i don't want to listen to this, really ... for very long, at least
but i appreciate his vision. i like all those videos he did in that weird backyard space.
i think he's an half-annoying half-endearing combo of earnestness and affectation. i also think he's magnetic. he's got ... *something*. which is more than i can say for the face tat parade.

i started reading "the book of disquiet" by fernando pessoa, this stuff reads like it was written by and for teenage incels, it's creepy and weird and his fans should be pancaked by cement mixers (put-ti put-ti)

Kind of tired of that old canard tbh. Reddit is absolutely massive at this point, everything is on it, including the non-troubling.
I'm joking obv. But a lot of dodgy stuff seems to live there that you wouldn't find elsewhere (at least other major social media sites). I understand that "anything goes" ethos to be part of the appeal to "Redditors," but it is a turnoff to, well, me.

im trying to remember this grady post about 'pumped up kicks', at any rate it applies here
This guy finally flew into my radar and I wish I had some sort of missiles to shoot him with.
I was looking at NPR’s tiny concerts and it caught my attention that this guy’s recent performance has like 800k views even more than T.I.’s 200k, so I clicked and watched half a song before I quitted out of cringe.
What is happening here? How is this guy so famous, he is legit terrible.

It’s really something when a parody sounds better than you.

'Hot Tamale' nails it.
Oh, and here's a choice comment from the YouTube video of 'Peach Scone': 'words can't describe how hypnotic and extremely impressive this is. this one take that was captured was pulled off flawlessly. everything about this video is so punk rock it hurts. i'm going to be following the hell out of this group.'

i feel like there's an alternate universe where Big Hoos aka The Steendriver never discovers ILX and beats Hobo Johnson to the punch

increasingly it seems as though all genres are collapsing into each other, combining all the worst aspects of each

update: it's ok to like Hobo Johnson again (but I choose not to)
don’t believe shit till there’s proof. i’m sorry hobo johnson you don’t deserve this shit. pic.twitter.com/1ZviZXUQ9H— ally bailey (@AllyBailey1998) January 30, 2020
I wish I could understand the thought process of people who take it upon themselves to publicize their friends' accusations of abuse without seeking their friends' approval beforehand. are they really that desperate for retweets, or have they decided that it's in the public interest to expose the celebrity's behavior regardless of whether the victim consents to the disclosure? either way I don't think it's a constructive contribution to the conversation about abusive public figures, especially when (as in this case) there's such a high likelihood for miscommunication

what is this guy's current status? is he without a record deal, without a band and basically adrift and squandering whatever fan base he built? or is he huge with young people?
it literally could be either one, i have zero idea.
― alpine static, Tuesday, 30 May 2023 23:50 (ten months ago) link
I think the former (also dont know)

I did see that he played up here in Vancouver a month or two back. Was pretty well postered around.

this music is for kids, y'all can keep listening to slowdive or eddie delmar or whatever it's not going anywhere lol― sleepingbag, Saturday, March 24, 2018 12:45 PM (six years ago) bookmarkflaglink
funny how slowdive IS for the kids now
anyway this asshole is touring, got an ad and he's doing like screamo vocals now. maybe he always did that, not going to find out
