They always play some cool rock on the fight scenes in Letterkenny and I always thing I need to look up who that band is and never do. I assume they are Canadian artists (I knew Peaches tune when it came up as there was plenty of ILM love for it back when it was new).

From scanning some videos by FFDP, Hurricane, and Shinedown, all featured heartfelt comments by current or former members of the US military, so that also appears to be a key demographic here.

(Also, just FYI, I went to that show because my best friend from elementary and middle school invited me to go with him. He remains a nice guy, but man his music taste is abysmal!)
lol just listened to an episode of Cinepunx which featured a tangent of one of the hosts going to this tour, 80% complaining about how shit Dropkick Murphys and their weird fanbase are.

It was confounding— there were dudes wearing NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF and Black punks with PUNKS AGAINST RACIST HATE shirts walking around, and in the meantime, the guys who parked next to me had Trump stickers and Thin Blue Line cop-humper shit all over their brand new Expedition— they were all wearing Irish and Dropkick Murphys type of gear.

especially since they have beat up Nazis at their shows

I think it's sort of the Boondock Saints effect— there's this sort of "hatred of authority" and "adoration of authority" that seem to go hand in hand with these types of idiots.

I listened to the active rock station for a little bit in the car last night, out of curiosity. It's an interesting contrast to what these charts are like, since almost every song was familiar: iirc, Foo Fighters - Making a Fire (only song from this year; I knew it but only bc I listened to it when I saw it on the chart - it sounds like it could be from the 70s)Iron Maiden - Run to the HillsGreen Day - LongviewThe Glorious Sons - Kill the Lights (only song I didn't recognize; four years old but could be 20)My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black ParadeSomething by the Tragically Hip
I actually don't dislike any of these and actively like a few but it was a exceptionally unchallenging, unsurprising listen; as noted above, it's basically a heavier contemporary take on classic rock in a way that doesn't come across when reading charts.

I can’t believe how many albums the foo fighters have made. I would have assumed they’d have all literally died of boredom after having to record their 7th album of undifferentiated “rock music” flavored audio product

It would be handy if Wow our band is Bad would add "UK" to their name, so I stop getting this weird Belgian microhouse group with a similar name on my Spotify "release radar" each Friday
