Folks, the world use to be fully of 30 year olds making music for 15 year olds so giant record companies could sell CDs. Then woke happened.

Before black people made it illegal to be white you could rock out.

Clutching a DVD of "Mystery Men" to my chest and gently sobbing, because I don't want William H. Macy to see what has become of our beautiful country.

You may not like it, but American Pie style college comedy movies are actually where US culture peaked

On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its great intellects.

[-] M68040@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago

The whole "Acting repulsed by foreign foods while actively plundering said foreigners for spices" thing the British had going on with India always reminded me of an old Jane's Addiction song.

One must eat the other who runs free before him

Put them right into his mouth

While fantasizing the beauty of his movements

A sensation not unlike slapping yourself in the face

Mexican food is famous the world over for being delicious.

American food is famous for being unhealthy and addictive slop.

British food is famous for being a joke.

This is what the world looked like before mass immigration

How did immigration prevent any of this?

Widespread racial and gendered guilt activism

You tell non-whites and women they are innately evil and I know damn well you salivate over legalizing honor killings every day

Bankers had totally screwed the economy for their own gain.

You voted for that because they thought they'd save you from gay marriage.

People were just allowed to be themselves, and they did fun, wholesome things for their own sake.

You people think this is the most immoral thing one can do.

Brits: The Americans of Europe.

Let's face it, "bankers" is probably just an antisemitic dogwhistle.

Oh you mean the people who covered a Black man's song as a tribute to that said Black man? A sicko-hexbear-woke AF Black man?

Akkad are you ok? Are you ok Akkad?

frothingfash a music video from a time, and a place, made by a situated people with particular characteristics.

gulag

Oh boy. Someone let Akkad know his bois are woke AF too ohnoes .. 2003 LOS ANGELES — A rock band crashes the Justin and Christina tour, a gay pride parade and the BET Awards to play their new single? It might sound like an episode of "Jackass" or "PUNK'D," but it's not. It's the setup for Alien Ant Farm's next video.

.... On Sunday, the band dressed the truck as a giant ant — complete with mandibles, antennae and legs — and entered it as a float in West Hollywood's Gay Pride Parade.

"We thought it would be funny to just go down the parade on a float, appreciating diversity and jamming on our instruments," Corso said. "And it was a really long parade, too. We did multiple takes of the song going down Santa Monica Boulevard."

And how did the crowd react? "It was wonderful! We didn't 'belong' there, but it was cool. There were a couple of like 'Blue Oyster Bar'-type biker boys on the side of the street, in full garb, like a couple of Rob Halfords. [They] threw me metal horns.

"The most negative response we got all day was [from] the [anti-gay] fanatics," he continued. "All those ignorant bastards were corralled in [one area] with megaphones, placards, everything. When we went by, we stopped playing and started gesturing at these people, if you know what I mean. They were gesturing back at us, and they were yelling. And all the people attending the parade were cheering for us."

It's so funny that this loser is reduced to tweeting about music videos from 20 years ago.

[-] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 35 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

White men like this (pseuds, basically) love to eulogise something that they think is neat.

You... can just say "I think Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal is pretty neat!" and that's it. You don't need to provide some big philosophical or historical justification for why you like something, and if you're doing this often then it speaks to a pretty deep-seated insecurity.

This tweet has big "old man yells at cloud" energy.

2001

before "mass immigration"

When you understand the passage of time.

[-] Sinistar@hexbear.net 33 points 10 months ago

There's no way this is an actual response of his to this clip. This has to be edited. I simply can't believe it.

Uh but anyway the AAF version of this song is okay but I felt like it was overrated and overplayed at the time.

Sure, whatever, I guess.

The past he wants to RETVRN to never really existed so 2003 is as good a time as any for him to wax poetic about.

Carl Benjamin peaked when he called a press conference and then threw a fit when the press turned up to it and asked questions. Smartest right winger.

2001 was not, in fact, the completely different world Sargon implies it is. You could have already had DSL speed internet if you were in a relatively well developed part of the US. The "Terkahjerbs" episode of South Park would air within three years of this song's release

Sargon of Akkad is so dumb and smug I can't even watch dunking videos of him because he's that unbearable. Tim Pool dunking vids are great because he's dumb in a funny way, Sargon just makes me groan.
