I was a part of the clusterfuck that was the Transit thread and I think this might take the cake for dumbest shit I’ve read on this site. Glad you amused yourself though I guess
Thank you man, and I envy your life that my comment was the dumbest shit you've read. You must consume tomes of knowledge for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nothing but the finest. I support your decision. Reddit probably has the worst algorithm of any 'social media' site these days - you peek at something and then bam, it's all you ever see. Don't even let your phone hear you whisper the word out loud.
Bold of you to assume that I think I'm either. Are you having a bad week or are you always just grumpy? Band with controversial lead singer is my #1 on spotify wrapped... makes comment about it. BOOOOOOOOO!!! DUMBEST SHIT EVER! Unrelated note, I really should change my alarm from spotify. It's Morning Song by Anthony Green and that prevented the double whammy of the 1975 getting top song and artist (I'm in love with you was #2). It's kind of embarrassing that 2 years in a row, a kids song has my been #1 but I actually love waking up to it now, even though it was just meant to be annoying and ironic at first. If no one has used the DJ on spotify before, DJ: wrapped may be a good time to start. Goes deep into your listening habits throughout the year.
Yeah the fact that they’re your #1 isn’t what I’m saying is dumb. It’s everything you said and just your whole attitude acting like the stuff Matty has said isn’t actually an issue so we can make light hearted jokes about it because it’s Spotify wrapped day. Yeah, they’re my favorite band and Matty is still a dipshit. It’s really not that hard to comprehend, especially when I’m not the only one that called you on your shit
Okay, I didn't understand your comment or anyone's comments was that, so whoooosh, over my head, I guess. Other people said I was acting like I wanted a medal or I was saying 'woe is me, I'm persecuted', but I was more making fun of people on the extreme end, who think Matty is the worst person ever, and if you're still a fan you're a big ole piece of shit with a fucked up worldview. It's been beaten to death in here, and I thought it was clear that nearly everyone who was still a fan agreed he's an immature bellend who should probably think before he speaks more often, but that on the grand scheme of celebrity behaviors, he's not nearly as bad as some media sites and some communities on reddit (that were the real target of my joke), make him out to be. Misunderstanding? Handshake?
Those posts had the same vibes as those reactionary comedians who are making careers out of "being cancelled", get better material!
I absolutely don’t think he needs to be crucified like a lot of people act and I’ve made that very clear throughout this thread. But he definitely needs to be held accountable for the hurtful shit he can’t stop saying and it shouldn’t be minimized even if we still love the band. If that wasn’t your intent then yeah this was a misunderstanding. So yeah, all is good
They were only my #4 top artist, guess I'm not as problematic as some of the other people in this thread
This got me thinking: it’d be funny if Spotify/apple could develop an algorithm that catches your “guilty pleasure” artist and threatens to share them on social media.
I have nothing but thieves at #2 as their new album is banger after banger, but I now know they are absolutely HATED around here. I wasn't aware of any of the allegations until recently (nor are apparently the 6 million monthly listeners). I have cooled off on them and replaced them with Dead Poet Society the last 3 months which pushed DPS up to #4. Still not sure of the legitimacy / severity of what NBT did but I probably need to know to decide if they are a band I want to keep spinning or not.
Five years of ABIIOR today. The timing finally makes sense as to why I decided to actually dive into the band. This album just came out, I was coming home from a trip and hearing about the album while being casually aware of the band because of friends but writing them off because I was *that guy* at the time. Spent the whole flight listening to each album and having it totally click.
I think BFIAFL can possibly top it but can’t say that after a year. ABIIOR is probably the most cohesive of the albums.
I miss the rock edge of ABIIOR - it also benefits from having not only 1, but 3 of the best rock songs in the last 10 years
