Were there visuals for square garden or was it audio only? Is Youtube best place to look or is there a full video on Twitch?

there was a minecraft world, the twitch streams I've seen are full of chat, there are some vids on youtube that give you the idea

loathe to google why everyone is gecsplaining right now
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 28 April 2020 16:50 (three years ago) link
for the record my earlier post wasn't meant as some kind of sharp meta-dismissal of 100 gecs themselves, more a dismissal of the idea that there would be any value or purpose in any of us dismissing them.
100 gecs don't exactly invite critical discourse. what the hell am i supposed to say? i don't get it? who cares if i get it? they're not doing it for my benefit. i'm trans, sure, but i'm also a bougie middle-aged white lady. if they want my opinion, they'll ask.
but i have no idea why they would _want_ my opinion, quite honestly. it's not like uninformed critical opinions from clueless people are in short supply right now. the one thing i do get from being trans is that i am frequently the recipient of exactly those sort of judgements on my lived experience from people whose opinions are simply irrelevant. 100 gecs' music is their expression of their lived experience, and the least i can do is respect that. i support whatever it is they are doing, and i hope it brings them joy and that it brings the people who have some faint inkling of what the hell they are up to joy.

people talk a lot about glass beach too? it's not like they're off in some corner being listened to by three or four people like most of the music i listen to

the classic j video has 32k views, which is admittedly more than 3 or 4, but they've never been a trending topic on twitter, afaik

i think id like them a lot more if they drew more on the sicko mobb part of their sound instead of like the pop-punk part
― ufo, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 18:48 (three years ago) link
well if the issue is that nobody is talking about glass beach on twitter i don't see how talking about glass beach here will help anything...

surely gecs are central enough to the pop narrative that they deserve yknow some fraction of the fawning in-depth analysis queen taytay is receiving

this all feels dismissive & like you all wanted it to be bad so you could dismiss it

as for me, I am undecided
This is like all their other songs. Super fun for 1-5 listens.
