i'm actually v interested in that thanks for linking caal

oh and there's a transcript so i don't even have to listen, god bless

neon genesis evangelion is incel anime

I've seen Weezer described as incel rock.

pinkterton is the most incel album ever recorded

cancel that proto-4chan edgelord don quixote

Don't forget Dante.

I never finished don quixote but there’s a pretty good demolition of his incel mindset pretty early on iirc

castrati surely the ur-incel rock

lol

Haven't seen that Farinelli biopic but isn't he portrayed as a massive horndog?

Yes, also you're not missing much.

Castrati were famous for having plenty of sex, which it is of course still possible to do without a penis.

This whole topic is giving me Hobo Johnson flashbacks. I only have myself to blame.

Alessandro Moresci certainly saw some action

Sounds painful.

er...

Cutting off a penis to make a castrato is like the platonic ideal of taking an action that will disappoint everyone

Can't believe incel is a slur now

Isn't the process of making a castrato singer basically lost in the sands of time? I remember reading something where every European city that supposedly knew the secret would say, "No, we don't do that here, but in the next town over..."

Not simply that it isn't done now, but no-one knows how it was done then.

you don't cut off the whole cock, what do you think the ancients were, savages?

Basic biology says you cut off the testicles, not the penis.

zackly

oh that's what you were saying ok yeah

If only castration was still practiced on anything then maybe we'd understand the mystery

It's not practiced on singers!

Non-human singers tho.

we know what castration is, though

You know, there's something castrato-esque about the Beach Boys's vocal harmonies.

castration is cutting the penis off lads. ask any ox

ok folks i've cut off my penis and testicles. what next?

make an ile poll about this for the love of god

put them in the box, crut

We need some kind of "pet sounds" to resolve this quandary.

make an ile poll about this for the love of god

I'll let someone else do the honours.

(sorry Brad)

Wikipedia sez:

The term castration may also be sometimes used to refer to emasculation where both the testicles and the penis are removed together. In some cultures, and in some translations, no distinction is made between the two. This can cause confusion.

The accompanying tableau is something else:

Write a symphonic pop suite, duh.

You could call it, "When They Go Low, We Go High."

or learn to juggle

lol Josh

ok folks i've cut off my penis and testicles. what next?

They say I got brains
But they ain't doing me no good
I wish they could
Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong
Sometimes I feel very sadddd

Yes, afaict the penis was only cut off when mistakes were made during a performance

I fucking hate the shit out of 'Wouldn't It Be Nice'.

Tempo fluctuations are masterful on that track, the percussion alone justifies the hype imo

'No Surprises' is a direct reference to the little intro riff, isn't it? There's quite a lot of Pet Sounds homage on Ok Computer. Heh >:)

There's plenty to like about the album from a technical standpoint, but the way it's deployed is a complete and utter waste. I don't begrudge bands that took their cues from PS's more innovative facets, I just can't deal with its jejune tone.
