White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I’ll include Eminem and I don’t care if he’s been given the pass.

    A good cringe-inducing thing is gatekeepers. Of music genre, fanbases, video games, any niche really. Saying there is a set criteria for being a fan of something, or being a ‘practitioner’ of a skill or activity. They act like something is a club or a cult and give it a generalization.

    I wear my dad’s classic rock icon band tees: name three songs, they demand. I could probably give you a line from one. No I don’t listen to them on a regular basis. I have listened to at least three songs but not enough to recite their names. If someone donated or gifts you their old shirts from concerts–you wear them out of respect.

        Lol, only been here a week. Just heard that Lemmy existed in November. I am waiting for some subreddits that migrated to Lemmy to grow big enough so that my posts don’t go unread for days and days.
