I find myself somehow having encyclopedic knowledge of punk and metal bands that are fascist, misgynist, abusers, etc, and personally, I'm able to just completely drop an artist if our politics dont align.

I'm also part of a few social media pages where people can ask and discuss about artists that have issues.

Figured maybe we could bring something like that here. What say y'all?

Yes. It would be good to know what is problematic about them though with at least some context.

Should also do the opposite though, have a pinned thread of artists that are cool.

[โ€“] Cherufe@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Yeah cool artist lists sounds better

My ultimate problematic fave who I recently even found out collected nazi memorabilia is the king of pop, I grew up with his music and it's so nostalgic to me.

Really? MJ was a nazi sympathiser?

I guess I don't get the impulse behind such a move. Is it for fun? Is it to try to create a larger movement to divest from those artists? Is it to say that people should no longer consumer their music?

Tbh I'm always wary when there's such a negative focus on finding out if something or someone neutral/"apolitical" is problematic, and like, digging to find that. It makes the left look out-of-touch and puritanical, and keeps us distracted by unmaterialistic bullshit. Not that cancellation is never effective or helpful, but looking for problems is such a boring and tiring way to live. Would love a thread of artists that are especially based.

waow-based

Yeah I'd agree a thread of based artists is better, encourages future artists to also remain based.

The artists with negative comments will naturally die out because less people will talk about them in comparison to the based ones.

Like the theory of "stop giving serial killers cool names, call them something silly and defaming"

I recently learned about the guy from Blood On the Dance Floor pain

Would be good to know things in advance before putting a song on as a joke

I mean I know about the kanye drama but dont get what this gif is trying to convey.

[โ€“] Angel@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm bein' goofy, but it would be my reaction to this thread if an artist I love pops up

Right on right on!
