Why I Deleted the Recent Makeout Video Post

Don't know what song was posted but just read their lyrics for the song "Secrets". Yikes.

 

i'm curious @Jason Tate , since this sets a sort of precedent here and i'd love to have a discussion about this. what is the border between something that you are posting and something that you wouldn't? i ask just because i know that you continue to post things about neck deep and moose blood, even when members that have committed gross acts are still in the band. i know obviously it's always your discretion and you might not be aware of some cases, but in the cases of acts doing gross shit getting posts on here, should we bring that to your attention? i'm just curious going forward

 

The song is absolutely disgusting. Shame Travis Barker has put his name all over this project.

 

That's the song.

 

How old are these kids? 12? Who the fuck let them record this shit?

 

Based on the way this guys reacting on twitter I'm guessing he's about...9 years old

 

Wanna know why millennials get such a bad rap? Read the lyrics to this trite, foolish, embarrassing, and outright disgustingly juvenile garbage. The very fact that both Rise and Feldmann shrugged this song off and gave it the green light is enough for me to drive my head into the damn wall. Song seriously reads like a poorly-constructed tumblr blog from a Ronnie Radke diehard.

 

Talk about disgusting. This scene deserves far better and I think not promoting them goes a long way in doing that. Thanks for doing so and raising awareness on it as well.

 

no reason to put this on millennials, these lyrics are no different in intent from many pop punk songs from the last 15 years that people here still love

 

those are millennials too

 

I wasn't. Chill. But in all seriousness, bands of this ilk - the new generation of "pop punk" - are mostly horrible, hence my remark.

 

That Twitter exchange was so well done. @Jason Tate for President.

 

2001 jesse lacey and 2003 pete wentz?

the term is fucking stupid anyways lol

 

wow, this band sucks on so many levels.

the fact that they went out of their way to construct a problematic video (one which ends in the singer getting arrested for basically committing harassment/abuse) for a problematic song shows how shitty they are.

 

what about a fun little song called "tell that mick" by fall out boy

 

Millennials are from like 1980-2000 lol

 

Checked out the song cause of this post. Definitely crude and juvenile lyrically. Idk this whole resentful ex tone comes off as unsavoury when put into music. I wouldn't have really thought twice about it, to be honest, so I appreciate you making a point to call it out and retract your statement because it's made me think critically about the music I listen to.

 

check again

 

Bayside had a song that literally said:

I'd grab your head by your hair and I'd hack it off.
And put it on display at the front of the yard
on a stick that's decorated with a little pink bow
and a sign that says "Her friends and family should have taught her more about love."

Now, I believe Raneri has addressed it, but they were writing about this shit back in the day and it was gross then.

 

Holy shit, the video makes it even worse.

 

While I agree that the lyrics are terrible and ridiculous, they really aren't that different from the stuff we listened to and loved in the early 2000's. Even though at my age now I can't listen to a song like this, I feel that its just very immature songwriting but 15 years ago no one would have batted an eye at these lyrics. I'm not defending the song at all, I'm just saying its a bit hypocritical to pick out this band specifically.

 

Those lyrics are ridiculous. Good call, Jason.

 

Can't wait to pick up that new Propagandhi on the 29th. Just saying....

 

I'd like to think society in general has matured in the past 15 years and realized we can't talk about and to people like that. Saying "that's how it was done in the past" is a bad bad defense.
