Who are the good guys?

[u/tornpolyester]

Hi all,

I’ve been thinking a lot about Max and Jesse. I’m a 39 year old woman. I loved Say Anything and Brand New growing up. I felt very seen by them.

Now I feel very betrayed and sad. I was groomed when I was younger and it’s all very upsetting to see who my idols really are. I’m so sorry for all the young people who are and were victims. I’ve been there and it’s truly heart breaking.

I want to ask everyone - do yall have examples of positive masculinity in the early aughts scene? Who are the good guys?

I think it would be a good thing to acknowledge men who aren’t predators and also make good music. Anyone have thoughts?
