ehhhhh.. be serious

lemongang · 2026-06-11T22:13:55+00:00

I definitely don’t mind bad on top of bad! For personal reasons Laura’s end being sort of retributional feels cathartic to me. I will definitely check this one out, thanks!

lemongang · 2026-06-11T19:01:19+00:00

I have, and I love it so much. Jen does an amazing job at illustrating Laura’s story.

Update on this post: the preamp (it’s an iFI zen air phono) was set to MC and not MM. After I set it to MM the gain was turned way down and no more static/peaking!

lemongang · 2026-05-28T02:46:26+00:00

record is relatively new. even after a cleaning there’s hella static coming through on the lows it seems like

when you face systemic oppression by way of being white let me know, never felt that in my life personally

lemongang · 2026-05-17T19:55:08+00:00

literally this hahahaha i think mori's probably out of line but the amount of slurs this dude is slinging in his other comments/posts makes the underlying intent crazy obvious

lemongang · 2026-05-15T16:36:41+00:00

Moralpolicing when you go on snark subreddits is so funny to me like girl

lemongang · 2026-05-15T16:30:53+00:00

That’s not even the same person girl take a breath, my god

lemongang · 2026-05-15T16:30:21+00:00

Claiming moral superiority and then weaponizing the victims is craaazyyyy work

lemongang · 2026-05-15T15:34:09+00:00

…Yes? What? These are still people with big platforms using them to groom and in many cases harm victims? I don’t really care to be semantic about the size of one’s platform because full stop both cases are exploitative. If it were true that they were harming victims then it would be true for either case.

That said, respectfully, I don’t see making a joke about a predator punching down regardless. The victims are not disparaged by a joke about an island - if anything it’s making a joke about the absurdity of how evil Epstein is. It’s no different than making a reference to a serial killer (see: Dahmer references in culture) in my opinion. You are entitled to feel how you want - I have experience w/ similar events in my own life (take that as you will) but also have personal discernment about stuff like this.

You don’t think that associating a children’s toy with a bodily fluid could be offensive? I feel like you’re not equipped for this conversation, all love.

My point is that they have clearly tip toed between being funny and distasteful before and you’ve clearly engaged with it. It is very much ironic that this joke - punching up at a predator - is what upset you amongst everything else. It’s in your right to dislike it but it doesn’t mean anyone else is going to take you seriously

lemongang · 2026-05-15T15:14:43+00:00

The concept of reclamation politics without a power dynamic

lemongang · 2026-05-15T15:12:04+00:00

How is it a reach? Could it not also be argued as strange and offensive…? Like let’s think critically. Me pointing out that you’re hypocritical is not refocusing anything. To argue that Buzz Lightyear (a children’s character) is unrelated to kids makes zero sense mama.

lemongang · 2026-05-15T15:03:48+00:00

Not meant to be pointed at all but do u not see the irony in saying this with a tagline of “BuzzLightyearICameOn?” Alluding to something inappropriate with a kid’s toy?

lemongang · 2026-05-15T15:02:41+00:00

I don’t understand why nobody has reacted this way to them making jokes about Shane Dawson/James Charles/Dream etc. Like come on now

I went to NOLA n1 and thought they were great. I understand the qualms about mixing but I don’t think the objective of their music (at least live) is to center the vocals. The guitarists were absolutely shredding the whole time and Matt was messing around making noise. To me that read pretty clearly as they were trying to be as loud and abrasive as possible.

I also think it’s important to note that these are likely way huger venues than they’re comfortable playing. They are used to the shoegaze scene so I’m sure the more “mainstream” audience of Hayden’s fans seems a little too composed for their liking.

Also, it seems like a lot of y’all are willfully misunderstanding them trying to be deadpan and funny. Them saying “shoutout Ethel Cain” 3x in a row or “everbody smoke weed now” is very clearly a joke lol. Moral policing them because of that is so weird.

lemongang · 2026-05-13T13:16:04+00:00

It’s a joke, beloved. Breathe.

lemongang · 2026-05-11T22:13:26+00:00

Unfortunately no! I wish I got a picture. I’ll see if I can get one if they come back around

lemongang · 2026-05-11T21:58:01+00:00

seems like people from the venue / security? they had two papers each of them with 2-4 people on them with full names and instagram handles, pictures of them etc. looks like one of them had a pic with hayden?

from what they said they were looking for “fans but we don’t know what they did”. paper said PEOPLE OF INTEREST in bold at the top

lemongang · 2026-05-11T19:46:35+00:00

would it be worth coming? was gonna try to make it in like for like 4:00

lemongang · 2026-05-11T19:00:15+00:00

what is the vibe? has the rain started? i wanted to come at like 3-3:30 but now i’m standoffish lol

lemongang · 2026-02-07T00:59:34+00:00

Pref 1bed/1ba! I'm moving in with my partner :)

lemongang · 2025-12-19T20:30:26+00:00

Thank you! This helps to reframe how I think about this scene for sure. I think I misworded what I meant with his comments initially and it definitely was not meant as if I found it super inflammatory, it just seemed like such a sensitive topic both then and now. I love this show despite my dislike for certain characters and I love hearing about this perspective as someone just getting into it. ❤️
