the thing is the new logo is bad. it's boring and that's probably its worst crime. however this is okay because if the logo bad and is going to be on merch we can simply not buy the merch. crazy stuff i know. has anyone else thought of this

#slipknot #free your hashtag mind from the hashtag 50 dollar shirt at hot topic #i am fortunate that my 'knot shirts have either been gifts or bought ~2019 way back when i was a princesley #one of them i use for scrap fabric now cuz it dont fit #but yeah i think im over being pressed about the logo like i deadass just assumed it was only a clown thing #from an art pov i dont necessarily get ... why ... theyd want a new one when everyone associates slipknot with a #fixed set of iconography but i guess because they do its not gonna take one measly boring logo to erase all that #like bruh half of them have it tattooed somewhere on their body. its not like they suddenly dont care for it #its a staple of a specific point in time and its traceable its memorable its not unique to back then but its important to now #which is why i think so many people WERE pressed #you give them this nostalgia tour and website hunt and throwback videos and easter eggs and hints #reminding them of when they were the coolest kid in the cul de sac for listening to music with cusswords in it #and then you change a symbol that was supposed to be this ... thing ... attached to their identity. the mark of the misunderstood whiteboy #now theyre upset because their ''originality'' is being made ''watered down'' when really. like i said.#all they have to do is just not buy the merch. look to the past for as long as you want. itll be there aging like the rest of us
