I really want to thank Miranda for gathering all those cigarette butts.

 

What Can We Expect?

Fan driven cancel culture as we've seen it for the last 10 years or so is changing. People are seeing it doesn't work because "deplatforming" only works if there is industry action behind it and often there won't be. Because it doesn't work, cancel culture as we know it online right now just feels more interested in trying to be The Most Ethical Consumer more than it feels interested in genuine safety or positive change. The tides are changing to reacting to that feeling, which I fear is destined to swing all the way to the other side especially as uninvested people watch big pop star stans have these emotional reactions.

That rings true to me and what I've seen over the last decade as well. Not here per se, but on Twitter and the social media culture as a whole.

Thanks for sharing the article, some interesting things in there.

 

well i was talking about healy's enjoyment of porn with racist over/undertones which is at the very least icky and within the bounds of calling someone racist.

 

Kind of goes along with what I’ve said before about us as listeners having very little power to hold people accountable and people skating by after horrible shit comes out leaving us disillusioned, so the target becomes the people who aren’t cancelling the right people fast enough for the right reasons, and yeah I’ll admit I have swung in the other direction because of it where I’m getting annoyed at how much attention and vitriol is spilled over boneheaded comments on a podcast

 

we could all just log off

 

Highly support this.

 

Guessing more US tour dates dropping soon? (though I know the one for me is a fest I can't attend but would probably travel somewhere cool).

 

Yes, should be more US dates. Probably fall.

 

I swear, I've signed up for The 1975 mailing list like 20-25 times at this point over the past 10 years.

 

i wonder how different this tour will be from the most recent one, or if it will be the same concept

 

As someone who had to miss MSG...just play the same show. Please.

 

Probably more songs from their latest album

 

I mean they only skipped Wintering and Human Too when I saw them haha

 

its available on amazon

 

They played wintering when I saw them :)

 

Damn why’d they skip wintering? That’s fucked

 

They didn’t start playing it until closer to Christmas

 

Looks like it was slotted into where Roadkill was according to Setlist.fm

 

i finally got to watch it last week and fuck...so good!

 

Could be totally wrong and haven't followed this band long enough to see their previous tour patterns, but I'm expecting the same stage set up, with a few twists in the setlist, but different markets. IE no repeat cities at all except festivals and the biggest of the big markets.

I am hoping hard for a Denver date, hopefully red rocks! Though I'd go to any arena show in Denver just to visit there and jam out. But red rocks... Gotta stretch my fingers and get them ready for the refresh battle.

 

I’m hoping for a St. Louis date even if they did just play KC

 

When they played San Diego last year they said “see you next year” so I’d like to think they’re playing San Diego again

 

they didn't come to Detroit at all so would love that as long as it isn't LCA

 

IIRC only 1 us tour has skipped San Diego.
