Accountability in Music • Page 891

Jason replied in the thread, probably would be nice to throw some upvotes his way

 

lol @ that thread.

fuck it, im replying

 

what the fuck is this weird shit?

This thing where the alt-right started to weaponize "allegations" by just making shit up and thinking if you say it enough it's real has been a trend over the last few years, but this abject need to defend the band to this level is wild to me.

 

It's insane, the whole anti-cancel culture movement which that subreddit is very much a part of is truly batshit.

 

idk which one of you posted this but is very funny

 

If you’re gonna accuse someone of soliciting nudes from women and sending them for “power” … gotta make sure you do it on Reddit while in defense for the band Brand New!!

 

All Chorus posters want to do is walk on eggshells, eat hot chip and lie.

 

I loved the band until I found out really bad things about them?



Wait, why is that being purported to be a bad thing?

 

Not shocking that your very calm, well articulated andn non confrontational post in a thread about yourself is being down voted and hidden

 

I sure do recognize that Stupidity on Parade username.

 

even funnier i'm pretty sure that person is in the reddit thread

 

welcome to controlled speech

 

I'll be honest, I don't really get on with Jason and I think he knows why lol, but calling him a pedophile and making stuff up because you had an argument with him is insane and I don't think this website is any worse because those people aren't on it.

 

One of the hallmarks of being in a cult is denying that you're in a cult. I get the nostalgia attachment to Brand New's songs if they hit for you at a specific time in your life, but it's stunning that people can't just admit that two things can be true: they wrote great songs AND their singer (and maybe to a lesser extent the other bandmembers) took advantage of the same idol worship they're somehow still getting to do some pretty disgusting things.

These people are old enough to have kids of their own and are simping hard for the guy who wrote Seventy Times Seven.

 

My favorite post, by far.

 

I did laugh at whoever said Jason wasn't as bad as his brother Andrew.

 

my favorite post is the person who has hated jason since the first day they found the site (assuming they meant AP as i recognize the username) but also has at least 3000 posts on said site lol

 

I am going to be 42 in two months, I have a boring ass "real" job, I write about some pop punk bands for fun and run this little community here that's grown to over 6 million posts and mostly is pretty cool people that don't cause too much drama or shit at this point ... I am way too old for this Reddit shit.

 

Sounds like something a conformist would say!

 

Now I feel bad about abandoning the band during their time of being total shitheads!

 

this is the way….i actually really do like Reddit and most of the communities there but unfortunately sometimes the rabbit holes go a little too deep

 

It's a great feedreader for sports I follow. That's about it for me.

 

I didn't even know what my Reddit username was bc I only rarely use it and I had to scroll quite a bit to find Jasons reply. I gave it an upvote lol

I'm curious to see if any of them actually reply.

 

Sadly, Reddit is quite useful for advice for certain topics and discussion that Google is no longer good at finding because their search engine sucks and other message boards shut down over the years.

 

oh, I got downvoted to hell

That Reddit wants to act like nothing happened and to have permission to act as such. My belief that pretending nothing happened isn't healthy while also very much believing people can listen to problematic art without being defined by it, I guess?, goes against that fiber.
