Accountability in Music • Page 894

There were good mean posters who were super knowledgable about film/music that typically gets ignored here, and then there were people being shitty just to be shitty. We lost a lot of the former in the move

 

I was on AP I was probably an asshole sometimes but definitely not one of the bigger ones. Now I am easily the nicest and best poster on chorus.

 

Except your snitch ass put the Hamburglar in prison.

 

super knowledgeable but super cliquey and gatekeep-y as well, most of them were decent enough to me but definitely don’t miss a lot of that attitude especially being old as hell now and just not wanting to deal with it.

 

Some of the hip-hop posters on AP were absolute awful on that front. Our thread feels like a total 180

 

Wonder what DickfaceChillah’s been up to

 

call me crazy but I don't miss the slurs and personal insults

 

I started visiting AP on a daily basis while in college (2004ish) and I never even knew there were forums. I always just commented/followed conversations on news articles. I’m guessing I had the same dumb screenname as I do now.

 

I’m younger than most of you guys so I got to have my pretentious asshole phase in the early chorus days. If Jason ever wants to start over a third time I’d be cool with it lmao

 

Yeah, I started out commenting on the news and stayed for the Atticus Clothing contests and eventually the forums.

I loved the website then when I was young and ready to be a keyboard warrior for "my bands". Chorus crowds fit my 38 year old, married with 3 kids life a lot more now than ap would. Growth and maturity are real things in most people's life

 

I came to Ap.net fighting hard with people who didn’t like Anberlin.

Now I don’t like Anberlin (in their current form)

Growth is hard.

 

The fact that there are Nu-Metal and Post-Grunge threads with honest to God unironic participants is to me the best proof of the sea change on this forum.

 

If anyone thinks nuking AP was a bad idea, allow me to direct you to The Babe Thread Pt. 18 to prove you wrong

 

didn’t you start those threads Steve……………..

 

ap is what made my music taste what it is today and also helped me become more politically and socially aware. there were also some stupid assholes who regularly made conversations feel inaccessible and unapproachable due to others lack of knowledge. also just so much animosity for differing opinions. definitely don’t miss that.

 

I don't know, they're gone forever

 

I don't know, I feel like some things still deserve bullying.

 

The cool thing is I've gotten over my distaste for blocking people.

 

Definitely reshaped my politics. I remember once telling someone on AP that I disagreed Run The Jewels saying they were glad Reagan is dead. Changed a lot since then.

 

Ronald

Wilson

Reagan

edit: now i'm watching that video for the first time in forever. it's so great, really ahead of its time

 

Oh honey

 

Didn’t he turn out to be an abuser? He was here as Love As Arson or something, no?

I mean, what is the YCMB?
