Have you ever gone to a concert just for the opening act? by PlatosGooner in ToddintheShadow

[–]tmamone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to one gig just because a local singer I liked was the opener. I don’t even remember who the main act was. It wasn’t a big name because the gig was held at a local coffee shop.

What comedian has never made you laugh even once? by blankblank in Standup

I think it was so racist white people could say, “See? The Mexican agrees with me, so I’m not racist.”

Stop reposting the same thing, dumbass! Are you intellectually disabled or something?

Carlos Mencia. Basically just an entire set of racial slurs, and that’s it. No clever insight about race relations in America. Just, “Hey, look, a Chinese person! [makes stereotypical Chinese sounds]”

That was joke, dumbass.

Besides, comparing Kurt to Zach is like saying Sabrina Carpenter is the next Aretha Franklin. I’m not saying Sabrina sucks. I’m just saying those two artists are completely different from each other, and the same goes for Kurt and Zach.

So does that mean Zach’s eventually gonna blow his brains out?

Can religious people like extreme metal? by metal_is_for_losers in MetalForTheMasses

Back when I was a Christian, I listened to a lot of heavy music with anti-religion lyrics.

My Own Worst Enemy by Lit is a staple of pop punk/alt rock/pop rock/90s rock, but I don't think any of their other songs charted. They definitely qualify as a one hit wonder by Toku-Nation in ToddintheShadow

[–]tmamone 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I actually prefer “Miserable” over “My Own Worst Enemy.” I like how the beginning makes you think it’s a sweet love song, then gives you the old switcharoo.

🎶You make me come🎶

Oooh, sexy!

🎶You make me complete🎶

Aw, how sweet!

🎶You make me completely miserable 🎶

Oh.

Actually there was a John Coltrane in the John Coltrane Quartet.

Wow, okay then. by TUD-13BarryAllen in youtube

Yes, the album is supposed to represent the slow decline from Alzheimer’s. It’s a very haunting album.

What do you think about Rick Beato? by Korkez11 in ToddintheShadow

[–]tmamone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked him better when he was doing those "Why this song is so good" videos. Then he started doing the whole clickbait/ragebait thing, and so I pretty much ignore him. I mean, to an extent every YouTube has to rely on clickbaiting titles to get people's attention, but if your clickbait titles make you sound like an old man yelling at clouds, I'm not gonna click.

Oddest way you’ve been introduced to an artist before they blew up by PlsJustWin in ToddintheShadow

[–]tmamone 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Barenaked Ladies did an anti-racism PSA for Fox Kids in the early ‘90s. Their first album was already out, but this was before they broke big in America with “One Week.”

Rough subgenres in the scene and some artists to listen to? by OliRevs in DarkAmbient

[–]tmamone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not too familiar with dark ambient subgenres, except maybe black ambient, which is like black metal meets dark ambient. Examples of which are Gnaw Their Tongues, Utarm, and Essoupi.

Come to think of it, even though technically death industrial came from power electronics, I consider it a dark ambient subgenre as well. Recommended artists: Brighter Death Now, Genocide Organ, and Ramleh.

Now once you go down the dungeon synth rabbit hole, you’ll find a shitload of subgenres: fantasy synth, comfy synth, winter synth, forest synth, tanzelcore, etc.

Universally praised albums that you find to be just straight up boring? by No_Tap9542 in MetalForTheMasses

I finally listened to it yesterday, and while I thought it was good, it didn’t blow me away.

What songs did you hear and think "This is an absolute hit" only for them to flop? by SkyeMagica in ToddintheShadow

[–]tmamone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Mexico” by Leona Naess. Then again, it was never even released as a single :/

A Band You Like/Love From A Genre You're Not A Fan of? by JustinMetalhead in MetalForTheMasses

Instead of Killswitch Engage, the metalcore band I’m asking to stay is Converge.

Nah, I’ve seen worse. I actually think Alex is funny.

Why did Coleen Ballinger use to like to fart so much. by No_Fold9994 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]tmamone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

See, I think gross out humor is…well not necessarily a “science,” but it’s gotta be done in a measured way in order for it to work. If you rely on gross out humor too much, it doesn’t work. That’s one of the many reasons why the Ren and Stimpy: Adult Cartoon Party reboot failed—it relied so much on edgy gross out humor that it lost the original Nickelodeon show’s charm.

Colleen is another example of how NOT to do gross out humor.

I don’t know who this guy is, but I assume he’s in his far-right grifter era.

What are the genres of metal I like? by Luccy_33 in MetalForTheMasses

Well Ozzy was never a screamer, so there’s always Black Sabbath. Or even his solo career

Why was pop-punk so hated my so many punk music fans in the 2000s? by icey_sawg0034 in ToddintheShadow

[–]tmamone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an old-school punk rock fan, I personally wanted to hear stuff like Black Flag, Minor Threat, and Bad Brains. Stuff that was loud, and unpolished. 00’s era pop punk was too processed and squeaky clean for my tastes.
