I feel like a lot of the disdain or mockery for a lot of the punk/goth/emo/nu-metal stuff around that time was more over how over-exaggerated it came across as. I dunno about MCR specifically, but I think songs like Linkin Park's "Crawling" or Simple Plan's "How Could This Happen to Me" still get used as punchlines for mocking super-edgy, mopey characters in fiction.

It is appropriate that we are still talking about noted Good Band Green Day as I just got summoned to jury duty and postponed it cause they wanted me to come in on my birthday. Wake Me Up When September Ends indeed.Dawgstar posted:Was this the one where paranormal investigation was one of the choices? Its really hard to find the votes for this pack cause the pack itself has a voting system and all google search results is about that  But I do know back when laundry stuff was put in people voted for that over other things like canning and making preserves. Not too exciting but certainly more exciting then doing laundry.This guy made a few videos showing things in sims 2 that aren't in later games and it boggles my mind what wasn't put in later games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlWEvlW9jbY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFzHdwgjS0c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NPUgE_MOow

I think the only reason I've played Sims 4 as much as I have is because I never played Sims 2. And it's so weird that even in the Sims 3 just the freaking pizza looks better than in the Sims 4. C'mon, guys. Oh, wait, EA. This will fall on the deafest of ears. 'Not being able to step over a pet's toy ball' just wasn't in the budget for 4 I guess.

I hate that Crawling in my Skin by Linkin Park is just a meme/punchline to so many people because the song honestly perfectly encapsulates the pain, fear, angst, rage, and existential terror of gender dysphoria imo.

sometimes I am a sucker for list videos like this one, "which cartoon characters would survive The Purge" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHxtqLiMsLA&hd=1 "Pooh Bear absolutely dies hour 1. He's got a rumbly in his tumbly, and that rumbly is a bullet wound" "his rumbly tumbly is gonna give his position away"

American Idiot is (musically) a good album to me. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but there was enough thought and care put into returning motifs and a clean production and it’s just a good, breezy pop-punk album. But the lyrics might as well be in Dutch for me at this point because I outgrew its “messages” before I left high school and haven’t thought about what the songs are trying to say since.

Defunctland: The History of Coney Island The ending of this video got me to look up who Robert Moses was. Jesus Christ, what a profoundly awful human being. I've heard stories that Manhattan had serious crime and urban decay problems around the 70's-80's, is he the reason why? It sure sounds like his policies didn't do any favors for the Bronx or Coney Island.

MechanicalTomPetty posted:Defunctland: The History of Coney Island If you’ve got a good amount of time to kill, Robert Caro’s The Power Broker goes over what Moses did to New York. Long story short, manipulated laws, became entrenched, and basically called the shots for everything that got built from the 30s to the 60s. Spoiler alert - he did not like or help any poor people with his policies.

I'm extremely ready for the longass hbomberguy RWBY video. here's hoping it mentions how they literally just stole a deviantart member's 3d anime hair model and then threatened them with legal action when called out on it, forcing the artist to close their account and hide because they're just a random small artist and didn't have the funding for a legal battle over anime hair

I watched RT when I was a kid, sneaking in Red vs Blue videos when my parents weren't around. I really loved the first five seasons, but after that I steadily lost interest. I watched two seasons of RWBY and did not like it at all, and after that I distanced myself from RT content. Heard it's gone even more to poo poo then, especially since I'm in Austin. I've actually run into some of the RT guys around town several times over the years.

I've actually run into some of the RT guys around town several times over the years. Disclaimer: I haven't watched a RvB episode in close to a decade, and I am aware this could very well be nostalgia and maybe the early stuff doesn't actually hold up at all. But I remember RvB being really good for the first 5-6 seasons when it was charming machinima project that was 95% dumb jokes, 5% plot. Then they started focusing way more on serious plots and brought in Oum to do bombastic animated fight scenes for them, and it started to feel really trite. I checked out around 2011 but according to Wikpedia there's been eight seasons since so idk maybe the quality changes? I'm also not trying to poo poo talk Oum at all - dude was loving phenomenal at what he did - but it just didn't feel in the spirit of RvB which was about a group of dipshits trapped in a canyon fighting over nothing, not a drama/action story trying to tie into the actual Halo canon. The whole RT situation just makes me feel really sad, even though I haven't really followed any of their stuff in a long time. I remember listening to their early RvB commentary where they told story about how they found out Bungie knew about them and were mortified they'd get C&D'd, but instead Bungie was all "this is hilarious please make more" and RT's desire for better machinima fidelity lead to stuff like the Forge. I also fondly remember the other machinima stuff they made in Sims 2 and FEAR. To find out that they've since sprawled out into some massive media conglomerate that enables harassment is depressing as hell.

It is interesting that RWBY could become a hit by running off the spirit of Dead Fantasy despite adding a terrible plot and only having terrible fight scenes. Also everything about RT is awful now, what with the Mica Burton thing and while they did fire him before anybody if you want to go back and rewatch RWBY you still get to hear Vic "Frosted Tips Sex Pest" Mignogna as Crow Spelled With A Q.
