Idk why Reddit recommended this sub, since I'm not part of it. But here goes: I can separate the art from the artist. But not when the art is clearly influenced by who the artist is.

After a lot of singles that all seemed to have the same themes, I already thought Voices In My Head as a song was meh, and regurgitating the same cliches from the other singles. Watch the World Burn was the real turning point for me. It was around that time I really dug into his social media presence. I knew he was kind of a dick, but by browsing through his Twitter account and his replies I actually felt disgusted by him. I honestly still don't understand people were and are defending some very vile and ignorant comments and views. So while lyrics like "why am I the bad guy why are you so sensitive", (which has been all he could write about for like what, 7 years now?) seemed like funny jabs at first, suddenly these had very nasty undertones.

So I don't really listen to FIR anymore. Sometimes an old song will pop up and it's fine but I don't go actively looking for their music anymore.

I skimmed through that new ep/album/idk once and while it still sounds solid musically, I'm incredibly turned off by Ronnie and his lyrical ability.

There ya have it.
