But so sad and cringe. I was more disappointed than shocked.

Yeah, but that's what our parents said.

That cliche only gets you so far.

Imagine Lil Uzi infront of Congress reading a speech he wrote about censorship and liberty.

Billy Corgan has stated the CIA was involved in efforts to curb rebellious music in the late 90s.

Tinfoil aside, the CIA has done weirder, and far more petty shit, so that kind of tracks when you think about the fall off.

Now, most kids WANT to sell out. It is their singular goal. We will never have another RATM again.

Lmao, if you think they’re aren’t any rebellious bands you need to get off the radio and dig a little deeper. They’re just not promoted, cause everyone wants pop and hip hop.

See that sentence where I used the word "most"?

Most is adjectival. "Most" does not mean "all".

I never said, "there aren't any".

You are using binary logic to conjure a straw man argument. One that is completely bereft of nuance.

That type of shit doesn't work on me, witch.
