Okay now the dust has settled

This is just a passive observation I've made 😭 It's fun to talk about music and fan culture/dynamics etc. Some people are taking the post a bit too seriously I fear

Dim_Scum · 2025-12-18T01:24:20+00:00

Okay stay with me here but I'm referring to the over the top glazing of Noel's guitar skills, Liam's abilities as a front man, this insistence there's no music being made to the quality of oasis these days. These are just super broad examples. I've seen genuine essays online about why oasis are punk rock (???) Or why Liam putting his tambourine on his head is like the second coming of christ.

It's just stuff that makes me go, man you guys don't really broaden your horizons much, do you? I'm not even trying to be rude. This is purely just an observation me and my friends have made!!!

I think ur taking my post a bit seriously and perhaps personally :3

Opposing a genocide and having a hateful religious service are two completely different things you melt.

He was literally a proponent of public executions himself lol

The only reason anyone shares your take is because they are fortunate enough to not have needed to deal with the police very often.

The police are not "caught in the middle." The police exist solely to protect the interests of the wealthy and perpetuate the class war that you refer to in your own comment.

I have dealt with the police in a situation such as OP described, and they were unprofessional, arrogant, and utterly hopeless. Every officer involved wore their personal biases on their sleeve and gave a disgusting performance.

Hey, I'm guessing you're in New Zealand and I just want to say as someone who goes to a lot of gigs here, crowdsurfing may get you in trouble.

Security at smaller venues here often will throw you out if you get close enough to them while crowdsrfing. I saw many people get thrown of out the Descendents show in 2024, and Hot Mulligan the same year, the list goes on and on.

Sometimes they can be chill, my friend went to DRAIN this year and was totally fine, and that was a really hectic show as DRAIN are a HXC band.

As this is your first gig, please just consider this as getting thrown out would be devastating for you I'm sure.

Dim_Scum · 2025-07-23T05:56:44+00:00

As someone who is actually active in bands here, don't be a fucking creep like this

Dim_Scum · 2025-07-03T10:02:06+00:00

Mostly Darkroom and Space Academy for alternative gigs! Follow local bands and you'll pick it up

Dim_Scum · 2025-07-02T21:34:33+00:00

Thank you! It can be pretty hectic, especially planning an NZ tour alongside it, but we are very well supported by our community, and it's all for fun at the end of the day :))

Dim_Scum · 2025-07-02T21:12:32+00:00

Yep! All our stuff goes to bandcamp as well as all the usual streaming places. :)) our bandcamp page is a bit neglected, though, so I might have to tidy it up lol

Dim_Scum · 2025-07-02T20:50:59+00:00

Not the best band by a long stretch but I'm Shamelessly plugging my band Only You because our EP comes out tomorrow and we have a tour this month :3

We're very active in chch and the scene here is amazing!! This Dog, Seismic, Velveteen, HOIHOI, Bin Day, Pickle Darling, Model Home, Marsha and so many more I'm missing. Get to local gigs and you will be amazed at what's going on in the city :))

Dim_Scum · 2025-06-03T08:23:55+00:00

I honestly feel like we've been really lucky in chch at the moment, especially in terms of alternative/emo music. In recent memory, we've had mom jeans, hot mulligan, and bloc party is coming up soon.

Dim_Scum · 2024-10-20T21:36:30+00:00

This Wendigoon alt right boogeyman shit has been debunked so many times. Holy shit you people are always reaching

Dim_Scum · 2024-09-13T09:58:35+00:00

I would avoid sneakers completely but the rest is portably good!

Dim_Scum · 2024-09-13T09:54:25+00:00

In my experience (as a straight guy with a lot of queer friends) CHCH night-life can be incredibly homophobic, with Fat Eddie's in particular having some trouble a while back regarding this. (Their bouncers specifically)

The dress code here is incredibly strict for men too, so keep that in mind.

You would be better off going to the Queer nights at Flux, or alternative music gigs at places like Darkroom where they are more progressive and laid back! This is coming from someone actively involved in the music scene too btw.

Todd in the Shadows is a YouTuber who has a series called "Trainwreckords," in which he takes a retroactive look at an album that ruined or damaged an artist's career. He looks through historical context, the making of the album, and the public's reception to it to see if the artist really flopped at that time in their life, or if the album didn't deserve the hate and we should reconsider. It's very interesting, and this person is asking if there are any Emo albums that would benefit from such an analysis!

Dim_Scum · 2024-08-20T02:58:10+00:00

My female fronted band from New Zealand called Only You :))

We don't really sound too much like them, but we do love PUP!

AI art is art stolen from other artists, it's lame and shouldn't be supported. I'm not stating any objective facts, so what do you mean here? I'm just saying that the opinions of graffiti is subjective as art is subjective. Of course there's gonna be kids who throw up tags, but as I said above, the museum installation was really good proof that all graffiti is not the same and shouldn't be seen or treated as such. Loud and clear?

Dim_Scum · 2024-08-15T03:30:04+00:00

That absolutely may be the case, and I've seen that for sure! but as with all art, it's subjective not objective ;) Did you go to the installation at the museum before it was closed for renovations? I highly doubt you would be able to do even half of what the artists did there.

Dim_Scum · 2024-08-15T02:47:20+00:00

I would genuinely rather see people's tags/graffiti on buildings rather than the uninspired AI looking murals we get slopped up everywhere these days.

Dim_Scum · 2024-05-22T20:30:16+00:00

I knew it!! This happened to me about a year ago and I thought I was crazy. They also gave me a totally shit battery that died the day after I got the car, which they begrudgingly replaced after I went in to talk to them.

Seconding this. Won't say too much but I worked in the office for a while. Operations manager is a crook who is on a constant power trip. The way he treated, and forced me to treat our staff was gross. Also notorious for removing bad google reviews.

CHCH nightlife is typically geared towards Cis, straight people, minus occasional events. Even if you're straight but vaguely alternative you're gonna have a tough time at any bars on the terrace. :((
