ITT: Red flags that will make you instantly drop an artist in a moment's notice

>from Brooklyn

>female

>post

>white

This is about Parquet Courts isn't it?

>from Manchester

>heavily inspired by Joy Division

When they change their name in order to be politically correct.

No, just every single SOULLESS CORPORATE PLANT artist from Brooklyn

>their albums are mostly rated below 3.0 on rym
don't pretend you don't do this to

WHAT THE FOOK DID YOU SAY?

>indie
>neo-psychedelia

>3 word name with the middle word being a conjunction

Almost always going to be a metalcore band

>band was heavily influenced by 60's psychedelica, particularly by Pet Sounds, Sgt. Pepper, and the Village Green Preservation Society

>heavily inspired by Nirvana

>song titles are 10+ words

>rock
>in 2016

Ignorant alt-right detected.
Allow me to set the record straight.
If you were Viet cong and you were being removed from sets and therefore losing money, right after you'd all quit your desk jobs, due to your name, would you keep that name?

>

He's right though

I was referring more to Andrew Jackson Jihad, but holy fuck did that actually happen?

yeah the new album comes out in a couple weeks or something

>-core

I don't know what it is about that suffix but it's almost like a free pass to be unbearably shit at music or something, or in Stick Stickly's case absolutely memetastic.

I understand why they changed the name, but all the controversy was so uneducated. What was wrong with the Viet Cong anyway, they were justfreedom fighters defending their home from US imperialism

Their entire discography is about treating people well and practicing empathy.

Why are you surprised?

>band was inspired in any capacity by anyone

Only true patricians listen to the TRUE original.

>fueled by ramen

I'm not a nu-male Millennial cuck, soooo

>we made this album for fun!
>Artist is Electronic and Chamber Pop
>Artist is from Canada
>Artist is from Cleveland
>Artist is from Atlanta

because i never took them to be SJW trash

>having empathy makes you a SJW

But what pisses me off about them and Andrew Jackson Jihad is that these are PUNK bands. The whole point of punk is to not give a fuck about what people think. I'm sure the Dead Kennedys and countless other bands received flak for their names back in the day, but they didn't pussy out and change it because that's the opposite of being punk.

>using SJW unironically

examples please
don't say all of them

I fucking hate it when yanks say "fook" when trying to emulate an English accent ffs, it doesn't make any sense

>it aint me stars playing

>is a white male

>tries way too hard

>being a pussified nu-male beta is something to be proud of

Fuck you you don't deserve Nine Inch Nails anyway

>is from Ashgabat

>don't say all of them
okay. most of them.

>band has 2 drummers

>Jimmy Eat World
>Godspeed You! Black Emperor
>Red Hot Chili Peppers

Posts like these make you wanna stay nu male and not succumb to biker aids

Those last 2 aren't 3 words and Eat is a verb

When Christians get mad at industrial/metal artists who appropriate and mock Christian imagery, should those artists stop using that aesthetic? That would be the empathetic thing to do right?

>its not gettin' rough

Not saying they had to do it. It's almost like people have the choice to handle situations in different ways!

Not that guy but who gives a fuck.
You can't restrict people's freedoms of expression.

>You can't restrict people's freedoms of expression.
Well yeah that's how I feel. I was just using a hypothetical

Of course they didn't have to do it, my point is that they probably wouldn't have given a shit if their name was "Andrew Jackson Crusade" or something. They would've told critics to fuck off. My problem is with people who act compassionate but are really just being political.

>Dead Kennedys
i keep seeing this shitty comparison
that was a different time period, why is that so hard to understand.

in 2016 you can't get away with that stuff

social justice is at an all time high now.

you worked your ass off on this project and your shows are getting canceled, your name is getting slandered, negative articles are being published about you constantly

at some point you have to get over the "punk attitude moral high ground" and do what is responsible financially and make sure you will be supported through your music career.

>generic name that can't easily be googled

>artist is from canada

>""""""""""""""""""""""post metal""""""""""""""""""""""

>Artist is from Canada
bet you haven't even heard Street Heart, is bretty good.

>indie
>____ pop
>neo ____
>____ revival

I wont drop an album because of these, but it definitely makes me pic related

>that was a different time period, why is that so hard to understand

Social justice spergs were everywhere in the 80's, they just weren't as overt as they are nowadays. Who fucking cares anyway?

no one had a problem with their name in the first place.

they didn't even change their name, they just abbreviated it. literally censored themselves.

>special characters

>in 2016 you can't get away with that stuff
You can quite easily desu

The only people who have had their lives ruined or careers seriously impacted by social justice memeing are those who went halfway and lent these people a sympathetic ear. If you just shrug it off then it will go away on its own.

Viet Cong had one show cancelled at Oberlin. Because it was Oberlin. They could have continued with the name and the press would not have hounded them about it. They only went in because they could smell blood.

white people getting triggered

>burger records

>waaah, artists aren't alt-rightists like me

If any thing other than the music makes you drop the artist you are retarded

plus
>random capitalized letters

>Fantano gave it less than a nice light 8

They shouldn't be losing money, because there's nothing offensive about the name viet cong. Nobody would have cared in the 90s, because they weren't told to be butthurt by things that they aren't actually offended by. The ultra PC fad of the 2010s is cancer, and it's the only reason the alt right exists

did you forget the B.I.G is from brooklyn? ODB, Big Daddy Kane maybe?

exactly this

>Red flags that will make you instantly drop an artist in a moment's notice
nothing as i am not interested in artists for the image they portray.

What the fuck is rym?

no one said the red flag had to have something to do with image

>Artist is from Canada
So, that's why you hate Grimes, you stupid fuck.

>being this new

But Parquet Courts are cool guys

>mainstream pop artist does an "experimental pop" album

Read: they added some synth bits and called it a day

Yer a fookin fagget

Parquet Courts sound like a parody of every shit indie rock band to come out within the past 15 years.

But now Brooklyn is filled with fucking awful white people who moved there to live next to other awful white people

It's when you lick around a girl's butthole

Yas

Indie rock is as stagnant as alternative rock has been since 2002.

depends on the genre. rym has shit taste in a lot of things honestly

>artist is from Atlanta
How's not enjoying any good rap music going for you

>>Artist is Electronic and Chamber Pop
that could well be applied to Radiohead, you know

monastic living is really good

no one likes you

Exactly. If you have a backbone, there's no problem.

Were people literally cancelling AJJ shows just because "Jihad" is in their band name? Like, actual shows that were paying good money?

I doubt it. And if it is true, then that's not a venue I'd want to play at anyway.

And Radiohead is a myth perpetuated by aging white people

>female vocals

fucking this so much

You totally missing the point. They changed the name because it's dumb to have a comedy-folk-punk band featuring a bunch of northeastern white guys have a Muslim holy reference in the name--for funzos. I bet AJJ moved away from this name naturally.

Also, they are literally the worst fucking band IN THE WORLD

fpbp

WET THA FOK DID YE SAY?

I agree they're awful, but integrity is important.

Is it a good band name? No. But they're committed to it. There's no point to changing it.

What's it like having sex?

Have you even listened to Monastic Living?

I don't think integrity enters into it at all. I would not think anything of it if any artist I like started going by a different name.

>white guy pretends to be black and has a southern accent
