>The Dead Boys

Fuck, they're right, that doesn't feel good at all. Fuck cis white men.

I knew Grimes was an idiot but I didn't know she was that fucking retarded

shut up, montie

Fuck this thread, but before I go let me just say


YOURE

>The same goes for people of color. Take the band Slaves, made up of white men. To decide as white men that a band name like Slaves isn’t offensive because “lots of words have two meanings” and, “We live in a society already where people are terrified of the way they act being interpreted, and it’s just getting harder,” is to disregard the struggle of a group whose suffering you have already benefited from and will never understand.

White slaves don't exist apparently?
This fucking triggered me and I'm not even white.

I interpret 'slaves' as a sexual act, gachi BDSM bondage gay porn website

While I disagree with the general rhetoric here I'm particularly weirded out by how only white men in bands "using femme language" is an issue. Why do they need to clarify that these people are white? Or cis? Isn't the problem based on men using the word "girl" in a band name? So how did ethnicity come into this, on any level whatsoever?

this.

Using "fucked up" to describe anything is the lowest form of discussion. Grimes is such a shit "artist". Geez.

Thanks for sharing this. It was a good read, even if the only reason you did share it was to mock it.

>Gorillaz
>No a pack of grammar-incompetent over sized monkeys.

It's 2016. How's this still allowed?

>“It’s really fucked up to call yourself Sophie and pretend you’re a girl when you’re a male producer [and] there are so few female producers.”
Jesus Christ, Claire. Does she literally have no concept of art
also how the fuck does she know sophie isnt a trans guy or whatever? did she ask him what his fucking pronouns are or whatever? fucking daft

she acts like having girl in your bands name somehow removes one female musician out of existence. the representation wouldn't change if they had a different band name.

Can't make this shit up, folks.

i think the trend they're talking about is kind of lame but it's not really something worth getting mad or writing a thinkpiece about

Tokimonsta, a female producer, named a track after Ryuichi Sakomoto - she didn't bitch about how he couldn't inspire her because he didn't have a vagina.

because toki has a head on her shoulders unlike grimeth

A whole lot of male fragility in here.

please explain how this is male fragility. the article just doesn't make sense. there are actual reasons that one could focus on why female musicians aren't properly represented, this isn't one of them at all.

Are you surprised? lol it's Sup Forums

hey aaron, what do you do for a living?

no she doesn't

>white woman in America who gets paid to write articles on the internet

You both have penises.
You are men too, no matter what you call yourselves.

>Relax, just breakin' ya balls

I'm actually a girl, but okay lol

How new are you?

i'm interested in social justice

this was a fucking shite article, get your lame ass identity politics out of music y'all boring motherfuckers who peddle this shit

i mean sorry for overreacting but mindsets like this bring about the death of art

>waaah cant be a band with the word girl in the title if you aren't a girl

holy fuck neck yourself if you actually buy into this garbage

R.I.P. Andrew Jackson Jihad and Viet Cong

Queen should be wiped from history for being problematic enough to have a female band name with no females in the band.

i wonder how many people starved to death in the time she took to write this article

Hey you, "queen" is quite often used as a homophobic slur. Freddie Mercury was bisexual. It's re-appropriation.

i wonder how many people starved to death in the time you took to write this comment

less than her, looks like i win at social justice

>i win at self righteousness
congratulation
>muh art

Nothing new under the sun

>>muh art
I know you're baiting, but shit, there are people retarded enough here to fall for this shit and actually believe that at should be censored by made-up social rules.

Careful, mister trolley.

i think people should be allowed to name their bands whatever they want. i think people making a fuss over something like the subject in this article are so obscenely privileged that they are grasping at straws, desperate to find something to be angry about. for the fleeting moments like these, i am somewhat relieved to be a homosexual male in an accepting society, who does not have to worry about courting a woman who has this type of mindset.

>criticizing art is implicitly calling for censorship

that art should...*

>>muh art
>criticism

:^) upboat for you, kind sir!

THIS article IS implicitly calling for censorship.

>>>muh art
>>criticism
wasn't referring to my comment

Ok.
see

no, unless saying "post punk is bad" is calling for censorship

>deaf leppard
>not a band of cats with hearing aid

T r i g g e r i n o

I wanna punch that purple haired bitch in the face so bad, so bad

I used to be in a pop punk band back in the mid 2000s called "Kiss My Cheek Girls." That name would not fly today and come to think of it, it did not fly back then either.

I honestly lack the sufficient spare brain cells to read that shit article in its entirety. Unless the it concludes with proper criticism that replaces or redirects the seriously retarded "muh pussy is sacred" ideology displayed in the beginning of the article, I'm afraid you're a fag with no grounds to support yourself.

Then again, I can't be bothered to read that shit.

Keep on baitin', mah nigga.

Fuck you

>not a single counterargument

ITT: Beta White Males who gets triggered by what a female writer writes on the internet

FUCK YOU LEATHERMAN

So much this. Why do you faggots even give a fuck, just don't read the article and you won't get upset.

I like pretending that people like the one who wrote this article do not exist in real life, and only live on the Internet. Sort of like me.

>Devo
>Aren't actually Devo, just a bunch of men

the rapemen
not actually etc

I support feminism, LGBT rights and the fights for racial equality, but the more visible social justice scenes you people have in the USA are kind of ridiculous sometimes.

Of course upper-middle class kids from the most powerful country in the world would think that some guy with a femenine stage name is 'fucked up' and a serious case of appropiation.

>grimeth saying that "calling yourself a woman is fucked up"

am i the only one who couldnt care less about articles about this kinda shit? like who cares. people are allowed to be triggered by band names just like youre allowed to be triggered that theyre triggered. but then again i dont really care about anything, even things i should especially care about. should i care about this? i dont know

shut up, montie

Also your GF looks like young Roger Waters

>but then again i dont really care about anything, even things i should especially care about. should i care about this?
You should definitely start caring things you should especially care about before caring about misgendered bandnames.

> I knew Grimes was an idiot but I didn't know she was that fucking retarded

“It’s really fucked up to call yourself Sophie and pretend you’re a girl when you’re a male producer [and] there are so few female producers,” she begins, before trailing off again. “I think it’s really good music. I probably shouldn’t have said that…”

I agree with what you said plus
>of a group whose suffering you have already benefited from
what the fuck? Don't they understand that the people who lived in the past are not the ones who lived today, do they mean by that the you inherit the sins of your parents?
Because if that is so, she must have really benefited from the suffering of the native Indians. And how unemphatic of her, throwing nuclear bombs against the Japanese. Why the fuck did she enter the war against Spain in Cuba when it was none of her business, why did she make so many Vietnamese people suffer in the Vietnam War, why did she decide to build concentration camps for Koreans in USA...
Fucking god, they are so fucking retarded...

>she must have really benefited from the suffering of the native Indians
well, yes

i agree wholeheartedly with this article
i went to see perfect pussy and was outraged that it was in fact a band made up of human beings and not an enormous performing vagina

Is an enormous vagina what you consider perfect?

>"Does it mean you’re better than a girl band? Does it mean you view girl bands as dismissive or stupid?"

remember that an "academic" wrote this
america is a fucking joke honestly
open a million shit universities to suck stupid students dry and populate them with staff that can't form a sentence

>Radiohead
>head not a radio

that's a pretty dumb criticism
does she not get the whole point of him being named sophie
is she actually retarded or some shit

Neil Young is an Ageist Cis-fuck. I'm triggered every time I see him

shut up, montie

what is the whole point of him being named sophie?

AUGHHH HUMANS ARE FUCKING STUPID KEKEKEKEKEKEK

>Queens of the Stone Age
>Aren't actually female
>nor are they from any royalty
>not even in the stone age.

>using the word 'cis' unironically

iirc it's part of the concept behind pc music whole. they're supposed to be a deconstruction of pop music as a product, and him using that name when really he was just the producer and the label would hire random amateur singers for vocals was kind of a play on that. essentially, they dehumanize the songwriting/recording process to make it as neatly packaged and as easily consumable as possible, kind of like a soulless assembly line.
