    I love Green Day. Keeping it as close to punk as GenX can nowadays

    Didn’t exactly love Disturbed, but signing an Israeli artillery shell? Seriously, David?

      I was heavily disappointed (and okay, fucking furious for a moment) when he showed solidarity with the Israeli government a few months after the devastation of Palestine started, but what can you do? Now what, he’s announced that he takes pride and pleasure in the Palestinian genocide by signing the shell? Fuck, man

        I love his music. But imo, it’s even worse than that. Like, he has gone so far beyond support and their “right to defend” themselves. He thinks literally anything done to them is justified. He doesn’t comprehend why assassinating children and targeting journalists is bad, to the point where he has reached out to “understand” the protesters POV.

        I don’t know, I think it’s easy for people to justify “collateral damage” regardless of the side. But when you not only justify executions, but can’t understand the problem, that’s psychopathic.

    One of the ones I always think about is I used to really like lostprophets. I’m torn between wanting a better person to cover those songs and having them die like the lead singer.

    Aaron Lewis from Staind turned into a real bro-country dbag. Or maybe he was like that when he was with Staind but I didn’t have social media in 2003 to learn about it.

    With the amount of really good music out there at a fingertip it’s easier than ever to drop bad artists.

    Like I get the nostalgia factor, struggle with it myself sometimes, but you gotta stay young and work at discovering and digesting new stuff.

    I was pleasantly surprised to recently discover the once racist drummer for a rather popular hardcore band speaking out against racists

    This is 40 years later

    I used to listen to Skillet once upon a time. But I think recently the singer went full maga or something like that, possibly due to waning popularity.

    Not sure though, it’s more like gossip because I haven’t been interested in them since about a decade or so. And I can’t say I was listening to their lyrics much in the first place.

      In high school a friend burned me a Skillet cd without me asking. Before listening to them I looked them up, saw they were a Christian band, and threw away the disk.

      Sorry for wasting your cd Mike, but you knew I was atheist. There was no way I was going to get into that.
