there's this Pretentious Music Post I think often about that's like "mcr fans are so BASIC their HEADS would EXPLODE if they heard SKINNY PUPPY" . like oh ok one of the most popular well known industrial bands of all time ???? THAT skinny puppy???????? to be clear I think "my music is more obscure than yours so therefore I'm more cultured" is stupid n disingenuous anyway but was skinny. puppy. really truly the best Obscure Music example you could think of there. really ??

#like come ON you're not even gonna go for nitzer ebb or nothing ???? are you stupid #weird comparison in general actually since they're completely different genres #skinny puppy is industrial/ebm. mcr is hard rock/emo #also I think people have this fundamental understanding of what 'basic' is #'basic' doesn't mean 'popular' it means an artist doesn't have a strong enough personal style to be recognizable as an individual project #an mcr song has clear stylistic tells. you can listen to one n easily go 'this is mcr'. by nature of having that flair they aren't basic #popular? for good reason yeah. basic no #also while we're at it you can be Not Basic n still suck shit in fact that's often how it goes #like yknow who else has a very distinct stylistic identity? ronnie radke #I hate him but I can pick out a song of his based on how he styles them n that’s what matters in this particular conversation #ok rant over . goo byebye
