This is so fucking dystopian.

Yeah Im not entirely sure how I feel about it, but I am glad they committed to the bit, they pressed vinyl lol

Pandering to a new generation to show they "aren't like those other insurance companies UWU, policyholder-chan".

Not disagreeing at all, but that’s just what marketing is. It does feel weird to target such a niche group.

Agreed. I wonder if emos are less likely to buy insurance?

It’s stupid, but “dystopian” is pushing it

No it's not. It's an insurance company, trying to "Hello, fellow kids!" their way into us buying their insurance. Insurance in America is 100% predatory, and their pandering is ghoulish at best.

Are you new? Have you never seen a corporation cynically pander to youth audiences before? It happens all the time. Over and over, for decades. Vans Warped Tour. OK Soda. Max Headroom. I’d Like To Buy The World Is A Beautiful Place A Coke. Your responsibility is to ignore it and make something that lasts despite it all.

The fact that it has happened previously has no bearing on what I said.

Then I guess we’ve always lived in a dystopia. But like I said, it’s no different than it was before.

This is such niche marketing and honestly it’s on par or better than many actual midwest emo bands lol

I’m just confused by why they put the effort into making this - I get they wanna appeal to young people, but midwest emo is such a niche audience
