It came from the summer of 1984 on Long Island, when I was 10 years old. That summer in the woods behind my house, there was a Satanic, drug-induced ritual teen homicide that went down; and the kid who did it was called Ricky Kasso, and he was arrested wearing an AC/DC T-shirt. That made all the papers, and the television, obviously; and here I was, 10 years old, walking around with a case full of AC/DC and Iron Maiden and Metallica – and all the parents and the teachers and the cops thought I was some kind of Satan worshipper. So that's the backdrop for that song.

It's also really indicative of where culture was at in the 2000s that this is how the writer explains the song. Every single line in the song is about the singer's crush on some girl he's never talked to and her boyfriend. None of this satanic panic idea is in the song at all except by way of implication. The song is wholly obsessed with an objectified female character that presents herself as a prize for the singer at the end of the song despite him doing absolutely nothing and facing no hardship, the only proof of his value as a person being the fact that he liked a band that was at the time a world famous act at the peak of their popularity. Like at least the indie people pretended that they had niche non-corporate music taste!

i like a band from 25 years ago that makes me way cooler than everyone else around me also even though I've never ever talked to a girl she should recognize how awesome I am and dump her boyfriend for me

teenage dirtbag has only gotten more cringe with time

I hate how people are constantly accusing us of brigading because a post hit our /all page. If you don't want hexbear users in your comment section, then you should defederate. That's how the fediverse works.

It was Biden's advisors immediately after being brought onto the Kamala campaign IIRC. The line between incompetence and sabotage is thin
