Several bands have dropped out of an upcoming metal festival in Orlando after Kyle Rittenhouse was announced as a special guest.
Great thumbnail. Really highlights this POS’s stupid face.
I hope this bastard never gets laid
The good and bad thing about getting laid is you only need to find one other person.
If veteran charities could stop trying to align with fascists this veteran would be a lot happier. I have PTSD and I don’t want a dime of this money. That dumbfuck created his situation and killed someone over property that wasn’t his after threatening to kill protestors. The only reason he isn’t locked up is because the judge is as fascist as he is.
I lost 4,000 friends fighting Authoritarianism and Religious Extremism. I’m not sure where the fuck anyone thinks it’s a good idea to associate us with far right stuff except for the guys trying to recruit us.
70% With TDIU here and 100% agree.
In addition to murder, Kyle also used a gun that he obtained illegally from a friend as a minor and crossed state lines with illegally.
But his
victimassailant had a skateboard. Was that skateboard obtained illegally? Did they cross state lines with the skateboard? If they did, then clearly they deserved to be killed.The only way to stop a good guy with a skateboard is a bad guy with a gun!
On Instagram, Shell Shock founder and CEO Tyler Hoover rebuffed the bands ditching the festival, and those criticizing it, saying, “I’m here to tell you, you’re not punk, you’re not hardcore. You people, the people that are trolling and the people that are talking shit, you guys are the mentally ill portion of society. You guys are the ones that are manipulated.”
The CEO of punk.
I vomited a little.
Like “Leader of Anonymous” or “President of the Anarchy Club”.
Historically speaking Dictator was a more popular title for the leader of a republic, but President would be used for minor leadership roles like book clubs.
Tyler Hoover is part of the machine and represents The Man, most square and uncool. Can’t trust Tyler Hoover to understand why he is part of the problem because he isn’t smart enough for self reflection.
and CEO
Dude is the opposite of punk, and a victim of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
You know that line from Don Henley’s song “Boys of Summer” that went:
Out on the road today
I saw a Deadhead sticker on a CadillacThat’s this guy.
More the Ataris’ cover:
Out on the road today
I saw a Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac
While I’m firmly in the “The Ataris’ cover was better than Henley’s version” camp, and I get the punk/Black Flag connection for this particular comparison, I feel that in general the original gets the point across better. I think more people would have gotten the dissonance of a Caddy driver with a Grateful Dead sticker when the original was recorded, versus the cover.
Who else knows punk better thank the guy profiting off of it?! (big ass /s)
This CEOs comment is as far removed from punk as possible. I mean that’s like saying Reagan was punk. Opposite ends of the spectrum. I fear these pieces of shit are going to start pushing Nazi punk. Nazi punks fuck off!
Maybe he only listens to neonazi punk?
Neonazi Punks Fuck Off!
I would LOVE to meet this guy in a moshpit. Easiest crowdkill in history.
By all rights, this kid should be in prison. Since we couldn’t do that, shunning him relentlessly will have to do.
I was browsing newest comments for the lulz, and saw your comment without the context. I knew it would be that douche.
Woah I didn’t know you could browse lemmy by comments. That’s a whole new zone of content. Scaled still doesn’t make sense.
Yeah, at least on PC.
Didn’t he have a Harvard scholarship and clerkship under a Supreme Court justice lined up?
And punishing any organization that platforms him.
Looks like people can get refunds up until a week before the event. I hope they are taking advantage.
I’m sure conservatives have no issue with the free market deciding.
“NO! Not like that!”
That chinless murderer can’t fade away quick enough.
I can’t think of anything less metal than this loudmouth, crybaby murderer
Hes kind of the bad parts of metal tbh, like the sort of metal that sings about nazi victories. Still, he fits in more at a country music festival that Kid Rock shows up to and doesnt perform at because it rained for 15min.
Quick someone get him a black hoodie and send him to George Zimmerman’s neighborhood.
That’s the other fuckwad! I get them confused.
How could this chinless monster be any less counter culture than murdering ‘undesirables’ while shielded by cops and the republican establishment?
Nazi punks fuck off!
How fucking tone deaf to have a wanna be vigilante, who terrorized people on our own soil, and who killed innocent Americans, be a guest speaker for a charity event benefiting veterans and first responders with ptsd. Honestly, it’s insulting
Edit: also what the fuck, the ceo said the people who are calling out the bad choice are “mentally ill”. I am a veteran with ptsd, I know I’m mentally ill. Don’t fucking diminish my struggle because you don’t like people bringing up valid concerns. Someone needs to smash a guitar over that fuckwad’s head
Innocent Americans? Did you watch the videos?
The one where he went to a protest to shoot people and then shot people?
also what the fuck, the ceo said the people who are calling out the bad choice are “mentally ill”.
I think saying mentally ill is them trying to say the R slur without saying it.
Now that’s punk
It’s crazy how many metal bands are pieces of shit and then how simultaneously so many are so accepting and defend humanity with their actions.
You get good and bad apples in every genre of music.
I moreso meant from the metal culture itself. Each genre has inflections that create that like-minded sense of community, so for a community that loves darkness, twistedness, and a wide range of what some consider evil, I find it very funny how the majority of metal, despite this darkness, is often very humorous, loving, and joyful, all while the bands name is Cannibal Corpse or something like that.
Meanwhile you’ve got nonces like Lost Prophets who end up living up to that evilness more than people realized.
So I was coming at it from the cultural lens, with each genre having a different interaction of “bad apples”. In rap we’re seeing another example right now, in rock it’s been happening since forever from Zeppelin to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Basically I was laughing at the irony of true evil in a metal band. Because true evil exists in all musicians, country, rap, rock, but because of the affiliation metal has with evilness, you would think metalheads would be predisposed to being worse about it. The reality is just the opposite, so it’s funny.
Yeah it’s like the kink & BDSM community. I’m not exactly involved in it, but every time I interact with them they are some of the kindest, most accepting people around, a really lovely community compared to the perception and what goes on behind closed doors.
That’s a really good analogy lol!
Let Me Bleed said, “Though we are advocates of free speech we are collectively not a political band.“
This would be funny if it wasn’t so fucking dumb.
You must be tone deaf if you think metal bands are going to stand for this sort of shit.
I dunno, I think Iced Earth would be down. If the sole remaining member wasn’t still in prison, that is.
There’s always some oddballs, unfortunately.
“Nazi punks fuck off” implies Nazi punks have to exist.
Good on Evergreen Terrace. If you didn’t know, they rip and you should listen to them.
Do you have any comparisons? I’ve saved your comment to look them up later, I’m just curious as to what I should expect
They do rock. They are metalcore with a punk edge. I’d say most similar Sick of it All. Maybe Blood for Blood, H2O, or Agnostic Front.
Now I have five bands to look up
Yeah these are decent comparisons. They were just heavy, fast old school hardcore punk. Also do a bunch of killer covers.
I read that as Killers covers at first, and couldn’t figure out how that worked
The fact that one of the only replacements they could find is a Slipknot cover band is hilarious
Nazi punks
Nazi punks
Nazi punks-Fuck Off!Take a skinhead bowling, take them bowling.
Maga’s terrorist darling himself.
Did he release an awesome video game a few years back? I bet hes loaded from all the sales.
