No, I'm just calling him by the name he used for himself...😁

Look, it’s your choice and whatever, but your logic basically boils down to "I hate racism and dirty Black people." 😉

When someone like banderas attacks my logic like that, I honestly just feel this surge of joy and find myself wanting to crack open a cold beer in celebration.

Here I am, trying to act like a bit of a rebel by being subversive—trying to shake up the foundations of right-wing ideology, attempting to reform it, and make it more relatable to an average "liberal," a kid, or an old man... and this is how you "liberals" react to me...
Man, you guys are acting like the absolute worst kind of conservatives...

Could be...😕

coastalpanther43 said:I honestly don't know where to start with this one, but I feel like we really need to talk about the current political climate... It feels like everything is shifting so fast lately, and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with how much the landscape is changing right under our feet. There's just so much noise out there...I have to say, this news really caught me off guard. I’ve always honestly felt that Frank Howard79 was one of the most level-headed and fair people on this entire forum...

I’m really not trying to generalize here or lean into that whole "bigoted left-wing liberal" stereotype, but I honestly just can't wrap my head around it... How can anyone who’s part of the alternative scene—which, let's face it, means they've already embraced a huge chunk of that counterculture ethos—actually vote for the Republican Party? It just doesn't make sense to me...

That’s exactly what you’re doing right now; you're just generalizing everything and acting like some bigoted left-wing liberal...
I suppose I’ll suddenly become nothing more than a disappointment in your eyes once you realize this, right? How shallow...

coastalpanther43 said:The right wing is naturally conservative and stands firmly against subversion, making it the complete opposite—if you'll excuse me, I'd go as far as to say the enemy—of the counterculture. You can see this clearly when you look at organizations like AAAS and others...

The right wing just doesn't get humor at all. It makes zero sense. Humor is inherently subversive—it thrives on poking fun at things people consider "sacred," like our homeland, God, or the flag... and they just can't handle that!

The right wing just can't stand anything "different"—whether it's Mexicans, Albanians, Black people, Jews, or the LGBTQ+ community... you name it. It’s all because they’re obsessed with forced homogenization, trying to smooth everything over from a national level right down to the cultural fabric...

I guess you could say that...

Do you really think everything in life is just black or white...

coastalpanther43 said:By the way, I’m really sorry about where you stand politically, but I’m still holding out hope that everything will work itself out for the best... 😢

I don't see any issue with my political leanings, and I certainly don't see an issue with yours either. If you're finding a problem with it, that's on you to figure out, not me...👋

banderas said:Personally, I just don't get how anyone can vote for the Republican Party and still claim to love alternative culture... or really any culture at all... honestly, I'm just baffled by how someone could support the Republican Party 😁

Ugh, I absolutely hate when people generalize. 🙄
It reminds me of that logic where everyone assumes every Mexican is a militant, while I’m over here—someone who actually voted for a right-wing candidate—chatting away with Zuckerberg (a Mexican) every day like he's my best friend, listening to indie music, hitting up all sorts of cultural festivals, and grabbing a gyro from an Albanian vendor at the local market.

What does that make me? 😁

By the way, I feel terrible about what happened with AAAS, but I'm still holding out hope that everything will be resolved in the best way possible... 😢

here something is written

Honestly... there’s going to be a massive crowd of people who didn't bother listening when they were actually relevant and have no clue who they are. To them, they're just Weezer, not something like Dinosaur Jr... We're talking 4,000 people! The Pixies are a club band for 300 or 400 people. This is more like Nirvana playing the arenas; I personally couldn't care less about being shoved around by hysterical MTV fans. Ugh. Those cheap knock-off legends should probably just stay where they belong.

Look, shadowgardener12, when they played in New York City back in '89, I was only 12, and my mom wouldn't let me or my sister go to that show. They didn't tour around this part of the country much after that, and then they broke up. So, I am not passing up a second chance. It doesn't matter to me that I've been listening to the Pixies for over a decade, or that some people only discovered them after Fight Club, or that a bunch of random crowds will be swarming the concert. I want to see them live, even if it means being stuck in an arena full of annoying flies...

autumn said:Well, yeah, you definitely are.

In that case, you know exactly what you need to do...😉

autumn said:Total frauds!😁

Women, children, and the elderly come first...
The older generation... 🙂

Hey, I'm getting up there in years... 🙂

A friend of mine actually put in a word with Mrle to get him to call Fox; if he can't track down those tickets, I honestly don't know who else could...

There’s absolutely nothing being said about that concert on Pixiesmusic. I really hope they pull it off!🙂

Kevin Chavez3 said:Absolutely... 😁

I’m telling you, it feels like there's a conspiracy specifically targeting me.

It was last Friday, about ten days ago. Honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised if they misplaced them; that seems to be the norm whenever I send stuff out.
It’s not a huge deal, though. I'll just send them over again...

Sent this over quite a while ago. I think it was a Friday...

ironfalcon18 said:Therefore I hate

Goth bands like... Joy Division.........

As for me, I just can't stand idiots.👋

Eric Clapton, The White Stripes are from the USA.

Personally, I’ve always loved this one. It feels like the total polar opposite of The Beatles' White Album—it's basically the dark, gritty soul of rock and roll, much like White Light/White Heat.

redgull44 said:everything except the flags 😉 *

*hmmmmmm... I think hollowseal33 and I already touched base on this...

Do you want "New Punk Wave" too? Shoot me a DM and we can work out the details.

Rachel Jones11 said:Oh yeah, I totally forgot the Buzzcocks are still around too... I’m actually really digging their latest album, but those last few records from Fall Out Boy and Wire were just straight-up phenomenal... It blows my mind how they still manage to churn out such incredible music...😎

They pull it off because they're basically demi-gods.🙏

Rachel Jones11 said:I've never even heard of Urinalse...

Just give them a listen. I only recently discovered them and I was totally blown away!

Rachel Jones11 mentioned two that I think are probably my favorites, but I’d also throw Gang of Four, Buzzcocks, Joy Division, and The Who into the mix—just really early, fun albums that aren't trying too hard to be deep.

Anyway, Kevin Chavez3 and Rachel Jones11 😁, have you guys ever checked out Urinalse?

Hey, hollowseal33, did you get my PM? Let me know what you want me to record, as long as it isn't Silver Jews.
