And sometimes it’s an old band with their own, unique music style, history of neither bigotry nor pedophilia, and a modern fanbase entirely made up of 14 year olds commenting “this is what real music used to sound like, before people became gay.”
Lost prophets 😢
its weird playing guitar hero world tour or lego rock band and hearing rooftops
anon is literally on 4chan
pepe the frog
complains about someone being nazilmao
Maybe they are just sexist instead? /j
I guess its not a coincidence that my favorite artist lives a very private life.
Come back to me once you spent a large amount of your time learning guitar thanks to a band, then the band members first want to give a chance to Trump, then begin using AI (all after they wrote an awful triple concept album on “machine music” building out literally 1984).
Listening to black metal is a minefield.
same for pornogrind and yes thats a real sungenre that comes from grindcore
I listen mostly to heavy metal and I never enjoyed Iced Earth or Pantera. Sixth sense, baby!
hates black people
listens to black metal
hypocrites
Crazy idea, I know, but you can just enjoy shit regardless. what about all the other people involved?
For all I know the engineer who designed my car’s breaks was a pedo, but that doesn’t mean I am going to stop driving my car.
I don’t understand this weirdo notion of ‘purity’ implicit in these types of beliefs. But guilt by association is not a thing I believe in. The hunt for ‘purity’ is utterly medieval and backwards to me. So many weirdos on fedi who are totally utterly obsessed with the ‘taint of nazism’ and use it to appoint themselves as Inquisitors and Arbiters of all that is good and holy.
Art is different than functional machines.
no, it’s not.
people can worship anything. they can also worship other people. or nothing at all.
go talk to a bunch of car guys and ask them how they feel about cars being works of art.
and besides, this discussion is here is about pop music. I’d never consider pop music art. it’s a product produced for mass consumption, and further, technically it’s produced by an entire team of people, even if we ignorantly attribute it to a single ‘artist’. so if Dan on the Marketing team is a devout Muslim who doesn’t believe in interracial/religious marriage, was the guy who came up with a great successful marketing campaign for a musical artist, is that all that music also ‘supporting nazism’?
the point is all this ‘i must only support people believe what i believe’ stuff is stupid is because you don’t even know what most people believe, nor should you in a civil and decent society. their beliefs should be irrelevant to the products they produce, and most likely, they are entirely irrelevant to them.
But you weirdos seem to to think that my Baptism means the spreadsheets I produce for my work reports are ‘tainted by the ghost of Christianity’ or something. Because you’re so weirdly medieval in the way you think and you seem to think everything is permeable and gets ‘infected’ and you too will be ‘infected’ by listening to music produced by someone who doesn’t align with your own personal beliefs.
Cars are works of art. The person who invented the car assembly line (Ford) was a huge POS though.
Some people are just too focused on others with no sense of observation on themselves.
In terms of the ‘weirdos’ who do this, they seem to be majorly concentrated within Lemmy.global. So it isnt the “whole” of Lemmy but more like a louder portion of it.
Also, these kinds of “controversial” stuff just brings the wrong kind of people - those which twist narratives, and spread hypocrisy. But as I said, I only encountered this in global.
i don’t know what that instance is. i mostly block .ml and a few other instances because that’s where the majority of weirdos come from, and they view everything from a extremist lens and would call you a Nazi for having the wrong type of bowel movement. But definately there are people who use certain instances because they are 100% ID politics believers and think nobody can exist without every thing they do being inherently part of their political identity. The concept of politics being a single aspect of life among many doesn’t exist for these folks and they refuse to accept any notion of plurality of belief and life.
that said i find this community and a few others, to be less full of insane weirdos than most. people here seem to take shit less seriously and be more thoughtful, weirdly enough.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this is part of what I love about the punk scene, it’s all about empowering the downtrodden and telling oppressors to fuck off, and at the same time having some fun while you do so!
Anti-flag and the casualties come to mind off recent examples of the opposite of this.
Oh snap i’d missed the sexual assault allegations around anti-flag’s frontman. That’s really disgusting
Agreed. I’m still keeping my vinyls of them though.
Really sad to find that out about Anti-Flag. They had such an asexual energy about them that I could relate to. Also they stopped me from becoming a fascist at one of my darkest moments.
Well I’m glad to hear they helped you. I’ve seen them so many times. Was very sad to hear about it. I still have a patch on my vest, but covered up the “flag” portion of the name with gorilla tape hah.
Dance Gavin Dance and Crystal Castles are two that I’ve been bummed to find out about relatively recently. :\
Dang whats up with Crystal Castles?
Apparently dude was abusive towards other bandmate.
:(
Yeah, basically this. Sexually (when she was underage) and every other way.
Yeah thats always a shame
Alternatively it’s just made with AI.
Or if it’s made with Grok then it’s a Nazi pedo AI.
Sorta related, but I was trying to remember a song the other day where a guy is proposing to a woman. I eventually realized it was “On My Way” (2012) by Passion Pit. So I decided to go to wikipedia to see if it was based on real events, and it was. But then the story goes wonky.
Michael Angelakos wrote the song to propose to his then girlfriend Kristy Mucci. But while engaged to Mucci, he started also dating Madeleine Dubus. He became a drunk and drug addict and was abusive towards Mucci and Dubus. He still married Mucci in 2013, but they announced they were divorcing in 2015. Later that year, Angelakos announced he was gay. In 2018, he came out as bisexual.
In 2025, he said he took too many shrooms and wrote a long email to Dubus that prompted a wellness check on him. Months later, he married Dubus and she became his manager. That same year, he wrote a series of essays, much of which were about his inability to clean up after himself at home and the problems that causes. He also described “snorting a billion grams of ketamine.”
Anyway, it kinda takes the song down a notch for me.
Meh, in that case I am not too put off. Sure, the guy might have been a dick who couldn’t handle fame, but the song was written with presumably good intentions. Drugs and alcohol ruined countless artists.
currently on a big years long philosophy kick and yeah. just started reading some Heidegger. Fucker was an unapologetic nazi. Son of a bitch.
mehh, I’m not that interested in moral filtering with that much granularity tbh.
Money going to people like that is then funneled into culture war bullshit. Rowling as an example is personally help fund many anti-trans pieces of legislation. There is not ethical consumption with Nazis/Reactionaries involved. If you can’t be assed to not pay for media that funds such actions then I personally so little difference between you and the creator.
I’d like to not have Nazi shit in my music at the very least.
YoU NeEd tO LeArN To sEpArAtE ThE ArT FrOm tHe aRtIsT
I’m not paying money to nazis when non nazis are available
That those people then funnel money into organizations that are anti-LGBTIA+ as well should be a very good reason to not buy their crap. Initially with Rowling we didn’t know she was such a POS, but now that we do, I no longer consume her media willingly. I wouldn’t even say pirate it, as it still creates an obvious demand for it.

…meh.

Can’t be traumatizing kids if he’s busy making music for me lol
