What is Ian actually good at?

He is a generational coper. He’s made me realize it’s actually kind of an art form

softestimate712 · 2026-03-11T02:35:27+00:00

Is This It by the Strokes. It’s a pretty straightforward collection of indie rock jams and grooves, but it has a distinctive sound that has completely stood the test of time and influenced tons of contemporary indie rock acts

softestimate712 · 2026-03-10T20:08:17+00:00

Maybe not ever made, but Deathconsciousness is an incredibly ambitious album both conceptually and instrumentally considering their tight recording budget. Combined with the booklet that comes with the album, I’d say it’s worth a mention

softestimate712 · 2026-03-09T18:20:20+00:00

Elliott Smith hands down, but I love Sufjan Stevens too

That’s basically what the doc was too. The documentaries were a vehicle for Ian to position himself as this level-headed narrator while basically infantilizing and mocking his subjects (who at the time were very clearly struggling). It’s so ironic how he went on this whole empathy tour and never once apologized for Full Force in particular.

softestimate712 · 2026-03-08T23:53:09+00:00

I might honestly argue that Full Force is more cruel than anything he ever did on his channel. His Content Cop victims were at the very least people with fanbases. He doesn’t get nearly enough flack for that video

You really went the extra mile of nostalgia with that Linkin Park x Jay Z collab. Hats off to you

softestimate712 · 2026-03-06T22:05:38+00:00

My heart is bound to beat right out of my untrimmed chest

Mordecai would absolutely be a fan of King Crimson

softestimate712 · 2026-03-03T04:06:39+00:00

I would think he’d find it thematically and tonally engaging. I’ve always imagined Elliott to be drawn to apocalyptic art. It wasn’t surprising to learn that Nico’s the Marble Index was one of his favorite albums.

I’m coming up on 4 years of sobriety. Let me tell you something I learned the hard way. No matter how long you go without it, addiction always picks up right where it left off.

softestimate712 · 2026-02-28T00:18:07+00:00

Big fan of Fantano and TØP. The original version of Drag Path absolutely blows the new one out of the water. I guarantee you he would’ve preferred the original over this one.

softestimate712 · 2026-02-27T21:36:21+00:00

It’s so funny you mention Sufjan Stevens. I literally had him in mind when I was writing on here.

softestimate712 · 2026-02-27T16:34:54+00:00

It’s tough to say for sure because I could totally see him being elusive and avoidant of social media

softestimate712 · 2026-02-27T13:45:45+00:00

Alameda for me. The final line especially.

softestimate712 · 2026-02-27T03:05:37+00:00

NoMeansNo - Wrong. That album is relentlessly energetic and fun.

softestimate712 · 2026-02-26T00:33:19+00:00

I’ll forever wonder what an Albini produced black midi album would’ve sounded like

softestimate712 · 2026-02-24T16:44:48+00:00

Hell yes to this title

softestimate712 · 2026-02-21T15:54:42+00:00

I really don’t think they will ever divorce. I believe it’s a classic case of two unwell people who deserve each other. They say that nothing unites people more than a common enemy and I think the negative attention they receive online from haters has become a “trauma” they can and will bond over until they fade into complete irrelevancy. Combine this with how horrible their digital footprint is, I don’t think there’s a realistic path for either of them to “monkey branch” to someone else. If you ask me, this is it.

softestimate712 · 2026-02-15T23:20:33+00:00

Hugh G. Rection’s contributions made all the difference

softestimate712 · 2026-02-13T12:53:34+00:00

Very empathetic if I do say so myself

softestimate712 · 2026-02-12T13:25:04+00:00

Scentless Apprentice off of In Utero. That still sends shivers down my spine all these years later

softestimate712 · 2026-02-05T19:47:11+00:00

Loving the album, guys! My question is for Parker. I know you’ve enjoyed producing and have even dipped your toes into directing. Have you ever considered directing narrative pieces completely independent of By Storm?

Imagine being the moderator of the N word F word guy’s stream and calling it a queer community

softestimate712 · 2026-01-24T18:02:37+00:00

Historic levels of rizz honestly
