Accountability in Music • Page 947

imagine wearing the jersey of a professional sports team you go to watch. could not be me.

 

Part of me wants to be like, why is this topic returning in this thread (instead of, say, the bad opinion thread).

But also, it’s certainly better than continuing Brand New talk, so.

Yeah. I think wearing a band’s shirt to their show, however generic and mass produced it may be, and listening to said band before and after the show is fine. And if anything, it’s cornier to actually care.

 

Dorks.

 

I typically where the jersey of a similar but ultimately inferior team. In this way I show my true fandom bona fides for the team I am actually there to see but do not wish to publicize.

 

When I go see the Reds play the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, I wear Dodgers gear to protect my life. Is that ok.

 

Every person should just wear the same bland gray jumpsuit everyday and at all events. Solves the problem.

 

Don't get on me with your forklift knowhow.

 

The band before Nile went on played covers and it fkin sucked, jury is still out

 

true story. i went to a Starting Line show in 2011 and both openers played Saves The Day covers.

Hit The Lights played Holly Hox and Such Gold played You Vandal.

 

This is a dumb use of this thread and I'm sorry I started it with the joke about Kanye wearing his own swastika merch

 

Accountability in music and concert discussion what the hell

 

i started issuing scene points because i thought this was the ACCOUNTING in music thread. my bad y’all

 

This is a better joke than all the others you made

 

Blind Squirrel’s Law

 

okay but this is a fit

 

Sorry to derail this conversation, but I really liked Where Are Your Boy Tonight, but I didn't know much about Say Anything. Started listening to SA after, and now I'm extremely annoyed that the author painted a narrative of Bemis as some kind of progressive icon only to find out later he wrote lyrics like “My people were slaves before yours invented hip hop”. Not to mention everything I've learned about Bemis' family situation.

 

Bemis is a piece of shit

 

Jesus, was not aware of those lyrics. what the fuck?

 

Yup, "Died a Jew." Came out in 2007. Also, does he not know Black Jewish people exist? Whole song is weird.

 

I don’t really know when the interviews were done and the writing. But I recall thinking when I read it when it came out that the worst of his antics weren’t as public as they were then and especially now.

 

Haha. Exodus didn’t happen

 

my favorite is fans that buy shirts from the show and immediately put them on

 

nothing wrong with that. they paid to have a good time and financially support the band. more power to them.

 

good Lord that's ridiculous. my only exposure to Say Anything was listening to IDTII and Oliver Appropriate when they came out, so i wasn't aware of any controversies prior to that
