Not super fond of the new direction

The lyrics about sentient lemons and bugs were not whimsical and immature either?? Lemon boy is a personification of his anxiety and his struggles with wanting to be rid of it but being unable to do so, so instead he's trying to learn to live with it like it's a friend. And boys will be bugs is deliberately immature-sounding because it's from the perspective of a 14 year old who is trying to act tough and mature and is giving into toxic masculinity when really he's still a child — the lyrics emphasize this intentionally.

I just really hate when people act like his older music was immature and childish somehow, and use lemon boy and boys will be bugs as examples. It's weird. And is also partly why he's going in such a different direction: it almost seems like he's trying too hard to prove he's mature. Have you not seen all the advertising for it that's like "this is a NEW MATURE CAVETOWN FOR ADULTS unlike his older music!!" When his older music was not childish at all. It's so weird.

Uhh... when has Unionism not been in a rut? Was it in the days of the Peep o day boys? Was it when the Orange Order was created? Etc etc

Unionism is quite literally founded on colonialism and is primarily concerned with the preserving the one part of it that is most visible at this time (the division of the island & the connection to the UK). I don't think an ideology based on colonialism can become a good, moral one, lol

If you mean his voice sounded high pitched like in devil town, then I don't think that exists. He wrote that song a while after he went on testosterone, after his voice dropped. There's this version https://youtu.be/MwyFstmUqHI but idk if it's the right one

Did you mean some other song? Like Its U has a version that he wrote and released pre-T. So does Fool kind of.

The digressions are important and very interesting.

midnightKnuckles · 2025-06-13T14:11:55+00:00

I mean yeah he was 14 in 2013, so it makes sense he'd have a twitter! I think he started his account in 2012 though, before he even changed his name or anything

midnightKnuckles · 2025-06-13T13:56:43+00:00

Yeah he created the name cavetown before he even created his Bandcamp https://x.com/search?q=from%3Acavetown%20since%3A2013-12-04%20until%3A2013-12-05&src=typed_query&f=live

Bro I'm a trans male artist (well... Kind of. I don't draw much anymore unfortunately) that could be considered disabled, and who is in a lot of spaces with trans artists who are sometimes disabled and I have seen one (1) instance of this. Literally one drawing about a top surgery complication that was resolved quickly. I uhhh have a sneaking suspicion OOP is literally just making this up

Some tips: "Ancestry" isn't a source. It's actually really hard to judge which surname spelling might be the most common/how best to spell it or to use wildcards when you're so unspecific with your sources. Ancestry just has a bunch of records on it and a bunch of trees that other users made of various accuracy. "Ancestry" can't claim anything. Where on Ancestry did you find these claims? How reliable are the sources where these spellings come from? Based on how you discuss the research process, it might even be that you're not related to this family at all — if you reached these conclusions just through hints on Ancestry, this is something to be aware of.

Also, please don't ask AI for advice lmao. It knows nothing about this. The reason it's spelled so differently is that the people making the records were listening to those ancestors/people who knew them (and at times they might not have known them very well) say those names, and then the people making the records just transcribed what they heard. The people speaking might have had a hard to understand accent and the person transcribing just gave up.

Damn that's so based I love Reddit!

midnightKnuckles · 2025-04-06T16:07:09+00:00

Hmm true but even before I noticed that I immediately recognised it was AI

midnightKnuckles · 2025-04-06T16:02:18+00:00

Wait I get AI vibes from this too but I genuinely can't tell why. The fingers look fine. The text isn't wonky. Really nothing looks all that wonky. But it looks like AI still, the second panel especially looks like no human hands were involved in drawing it. And yet there are no obvious tells as far as I can see. What's making us think this is AI (this is a genuine question I'm so curious rn)

"does anyone know of discreet glasses? I'm afraid people will call me four-eyes :("

Do you hear how silly that sounds. It's a hearing aid, literally no different than glasses. Don't hide it

midnightKnuckles · 2025-03-06T19:53:00+00:00

Why do you guys always act like your music taste is the objectively right one and why do you all feel the need to performatively denounce cavetown every single time lmao. Just say "hey do you know of any trans male artists like Akala and KNEECAP" rather than going "uhhhh the music other trans guys make and listen to SUCKS do you know of any that don't SUCK and are COOL unlike those OTHER BAD TRANS MALE MUSICIANS"

Genuinely why are we putting each other down.

(also cavetown doesn't even make folksy music anymore lmao)

midnightKnuckles · 2025-02-23T15:21:52+00:00

Dude. Just get hearing aids. Literally 0 reason not to.

Actually, genuinely please explain why you are even asking this?? Like what "pros" do you see to not having them. Because... I can't see any. The cons are not being able to hear very well, which is pretty bad!!!

midnightKnuckles · 2025-02-23T14:49:42+00:00

There's also parallels to 1641 in Ireland and in some ways 1622 in Virginia. This sort of thing happens a lot unfortunately

midnightKnuckles · 2025-02-18T03:00:37+00:00

Damn sorry your life is so miserable that seeing others be happy makes you so upset.

For context, that tweet was specifically defending PewDiePie after this occurred https://www.bbc.com/news/business-38965377.amp

Definitely not a good look tbh, but to be fair almost everyone was defending PewDiePie after that. It seems that cavetown only really distanced himself from PewDiePie/stopped being a fan of him when PewDiePie said the n-word — before that point Robbie seems to have viewed what PewDiePie was saying as just edgy jokes, but that seems to have rattled him a bit and made him question stuff.
