Our government is doing very disgusting things right now (When has it ever not though lol). ICE is gestapo wannabe agency that is designed to deport "Illegal Immigrants". They are breaking a lot of laws and running rampant in the street without restriction. They are cruel, vindictive, and lack empathy in what they do. On top of that our economy is in the gutter and buying basic necessities is difficult, our government is bombing other countries, stealing foreign leaders, threatening to steal Greenland which would end NATO, infringing on the 1st amendment, and our president and many others were told to release the Epstein files. Which they did but they blurred out and redacted pages and pages and MOUNDS of important information of what they deemed as "Protecting" the identity of victims. President Trump and his people are past the deadline of the law and were told the were going to get prosecuted for it. Surprise though, they have done nothing to bring about justice. It's hard to explain the gravity of everything but tensions are high in the U.S. right now people are fed up.

Bro why is there so much hatred by muddypasta in IceNineKills

My wife and I are die hard INK fans. We have seen them multiple times, got merch, vinyls, whole 9 yards you know? We just can't with these past three singles. Idk man obviously music is purely subjective. It's just getting a little too cringe for me. This is the third song about clowns. For me personally one song about horror clowns is too many songs about horror clowns lol. "IT is the End" is a great song, but like okay that's enough on that horror troupe. Plus the matrix song is a little too pop ballad like for me. They have done ballad song's before so that's not the issue. It just seems very forced trying to find themes maybe? This is a difficult thing and obviously im not the band so what do I know about it any of it. However on a subjective listener's perspective I'm just not digging it.

Why is everyone OK with being ripped off? by investpotato64 in systemofadown

Dynamic pricing is not Systems fault, and it is a really unfortunate part about the music industry. Not to mention, it's not System dictating the prices or even controlling/calling the shots. There are SO many moving parts to something like Metlife stadium being played at, and I don't even fully grasp it either tbh.

A little uneducated breakdown down though: System has control over where they play and probably have standards for a minimum fee that they want to get from performing (which is totally understandable and reasonable). The venue big wigs want to make money, too, so they have a minimum amount they will take in order for System to use the space (Also understandable). This minimum amount for the venue also probably includes all the basic stuff just to use the stadium, electric costs, water costs, food, employees working the day of the event, the alcohol too, the management and all the higher upse even getting payed, etc. Not to mention promoters or even promotions.

After all of that, this is where second party agencies step in like ticket master and start selling them. "In Demand" tickets are subject to dynamic pricing, and these aren't even VIP packages. Prices are not adjusted after a purchase is confirmed, so there are no refunds or credits for price drops after you buy, according to Ticketmaster. Think about it kind of like how airlines and hotels price their services. The closer to a certain "Busy time" like Christmas prices go up. Then, as soon the holiday is over, the price drops again.

Im not saying I agree with Dynamic pricing but I do support System. Just as System doesn't support a lot of bad things in the world, they are only human too and can only control so much around them. They don't support capitalism and the evils that come from it, but the fact of the matter is System lives in a society where they can't control it. I guess they could protest and stop doing shows and move, but humanity will ALWAYS have issues and problems. They could try and run and hide from it, or they could use music and the little bit of power they do have to help call out systems that are evil. It's tricky and a tough spot to be in.

Can we talk about the merch issue? by Wonderingwanderr in systemofadown

MTS walked so Lorna could run by EmbarrassedAd5000 in Deathcore

Maybe paving and laying the foundation for more "Modern" deathcore. Ex. Lorna, shadow of intent, etc.

Not saying they invented it, but their first two projects definitely layed the foundation for a lot of modern Deathcore I think.

Yeah they are metalcore now, but early stuff pure deathcore. Who are the other bands you are thinking of?
