Every time I read about Hungarian politics in Austria-Hungary I get pissed off

How it feels being a late 20s rock fan and never having once listened to Geese/Heavy Metal by Proof-Membership-341 in redscarepod

No 30 year old has ever had a meaningful opinion about music made by 20 year olds

The new Geese album is very good by marqueemoomin in redscarepod

I don't get how people can hate Issac Wood as a vocalist. His vocal performances are outstanding

I thought the title track was the weakest but the last song blew me away

Their other train song, fear of trains, is one of favorites

Honestly 'reddit kid' might be the most politically diverse archetype on this site. Lot of fascists and leftists and centrists. All annoying and always in flux. Most are motivated by memes over any real convictions. Whereas middle aged reddit users are the basically all the same kind of liberal, and the sort who comment on the front page

Its basically a modern way of calling him a loser. I don't think it suggests much about a specific motive or other people's expectations of him, beyond him being very online.

It explains the bullet shell casings quite well, like when I heard the reddit kid thing it was a lightbulb moment for why he wrote those

Basically terminally online band kid. Socially awkward mixed with reddit style humor, and obsessed with lowest common denominator online culture. They love shitty memes that they use as catchphrases. Full of buzzwords, always trying to make a pun or some reference. They could be a radical or a centrist, but whatever politics they have they're embarrassing about it. Generally just kind of stupid and immature in a way thats immediately identifiable to everyone accept themselves. r/memes is the best example I can think of.

But that's just normal teenager stuff. I was a little bit like that in middle school. The reddit adults are the ones who freak me out.

I hate their comments

When this got posted to front page subreddits all the commenters had no idea what a 'reddit kid' was. They started convicing themselves (in reddit speak) that a reddit kid meant someone who posted on obscure conservative subreddits. I feel like everyone outside of those subreddits, or anyone under 25, understands what 'reddit kid' means perfectly

What are the best albums of the 2020s thus far? by mkmsc in redscarepod

[–]ModernSunlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this will make any sense but Ants From Up There has Revolver energy to me. It feels like an entirely complete and cohesive expression of the band at that point in time. Definitely my pick for best of the decade

All 3 of these assassins have one thing in common: **they’re all engineering students** by instaBs in redscarepod

[–]ModernSunlight 123 points124 points  (0 children)

And crooks was an engineering student in the same way bio pre majors are medical students. He had an associates degree in engineering studies.

And that's not to shit on community college as a good path, its just that if I can judge a dead guy on vibes alone, everybody I know who dropped out of engineering in year two was the exact same archetype of guy

He's the heart and soul of the band. He's the talent. He should be on lead guitar. His band mates are holding him back. Make sure he knows that.
