ppl thinking "come walk with me" is a standout in any way are INSANE imo, it's about the only thing here i have zero use for. flat vocals that really show up her lack of a singing voice (in a way that the weeknd tracks don't), lumbering melody that belongs in a britpop-era indie disco, grafted-on noisy bits that sound far less jolting than they should because she's doing similar things but better all over the rest of the album

only other kinda-dud is "aTENTion" which is just a bit annoying (oh and "bad girls" is as whatevzzz as it always was) but the rest is really superb

NOTHING to do with cooking is either "easy" or "fun" except the eating

Haha what

i can't fucking type i can't fucking type i can't fucking type

finger on the wrong key at least 5 times out of 10, when on bus/train it's 9 times out of 10. when drunk i'll barely be able to operate it at all

WHY ARE TOUCHSCREENS THE ONLY OPTION

he's right.

Yeah that's pretty OTM

about everything, i mean

it's not so much what he hates, it's the adorably angry way he expresses it

seriously I'm surprised he doesn't own the IA thread, I feel a great affinity towards lex & his hatred of things

Lex rules

I kinda share his dislike of cooking and his bafflement @ shibameme, tho in the latter case I personally find it oddly sweet to know that ilx is ultimately full of the sort of ppl that were still yelling "whassaaaap" in 2001

These are all old news (comedy, cooking etc.)

Dont forget indie rock and rock in general. Also history.

indie hating lex is maybe my favorite lex next to cooking rage lex:

lol @ this terrible list. kanye's worst album is the third best thing on it!

basically all but like two of these albums are pretty reprehensible or completely boring or both but you can't look past panda bear/animal collective for sheer gross-sounding punchable unlistenability. i don't know which one is worst, will assume merriweather

fleet foxes and bon iver both make me think that at least coldplay aren't THAT bad

who are the microphones though? literally never even come across their name.

(and fuck radiohead forever)

punchable unlistenability <3 <3

Does lex hate babies/children? I want to think yes.

Lex totally rules

I mean, he rules at life and you all are jealous

Yeah, must be awesome to be so negative about everything

Dude, Lex is totally not negative about everything, he is super-excited about the new Beyonce record for instance, so much so that I have been thoroughly enjoying reading his posts about it, more, I'm sure, than I would enjoy listening to the record itself (just because I don't have the necessary background for it, not because there's anything wrong with it.)

Negative Lex is funny/adorable but Giddy Excitable Lex is genuinely awesome and contagious, this dude rules imo

Sorry, I'm sure he's a great guy irl. His negative posts just seem louder than his positive ones.

c'mon this is not a lex hating thread really is it just fun with a guy who vocally hates the shit he hates, everybody loves lex

frankly I wish I knew how to hate things as lovably as he does, whenever I hate things I just end up sounding like a grumpy a-hole

well in fairness I don't think it hurts his cause that a lot of the stuff he hates makes for pretty easy target practice

This line from his Quietus 2013 round-up haunts my dreams:

Worse still was the colonisation that accompanies gentrification: of course sad boys such as Autre Ne Veut, Ryan Hemsworth and Cyril Hahn would gain critical plaudits, because the state of being a sad boy is still held to be the height of artistry ­ in the cases of Hemsworth and Hahn, sad white boys whose gimmick was to remix black women's music into greyness. These people are not necessary.

we are celebrating lex as ilx's angry christmas jebus in a manger

etc

Posting all-caps sing-alongs is all-time classic positivity imo

ugh yes i love this thread

today's disgusting savage: went for a run, at the 8k mark (ie i'm fucking dying at this point) this toddler decides to try to race me. i'm not here to play games so i just ignore her and she seems fine. thus far, whatever. her fucking dad gets on his fucking high horse and is all like "why didn't you run alongside her! she just wants to play!" the fucking gall of the man. for ONCE in my life i don't suffer from esprit d'escalier - it's true what they say, exercise is good for your brain - and i snap back "the sooner she learns that the world doesn't revolve around her the better - it's not too late for her, UNLIKE HER DAD"

i wld like to add that i think lex rules; i mean for sure we disagree abt some stuff but good ppl are good ppl and that's that.

This is a "we love Lex" thread, right? Because Lex is one of the most totally loveable human beings I have ever met.

His rrrraaaaage is funny because it is so vocally, hilariously over-the-top and yet at the same time, frequently completely OTM. I have only ever seen him point his humour up, never down, which makes it not mean-spirited but just... funny. He's almost always right.

Oh, except about Radiohead.

(But then again, every time he starts in on Radiohead, I just laugh and go "you're absolutely right! All of this is true, hahaha, omg, so true." I just disagree that it's *bad*.)

Alex is the actual best, and fuiud.

haaa i missed this thread

i'm totally more zen than i was five years ago, i just distrust people who don't hate things? i don't even think i hate MOST things but i see no value in REPRESSING hatred. and yes it's very important not to be just a grumpy cliché of an old person! never be that.

Does lex hate babies/children? I want to think yes.

dislike most strangers' kids (like under 8 i guess), am fond of friends' babies but don't necessarily want to hold them for more than 5 minutes at a time, enjoy watching them grow up from a distance, zero desire to have kids myself/understanding of why people do it (i do get annoyed at parents who think that when i say that i'm insulting them).

(in this sense babies are just like worse versions of dogs imo? love dogs, love playing with them and cuddling them and looking at their cute faces and stupid behaviour, none of this has translated into wanting to actually own one though? largely because having to pick up their shit is a large enough negative)

(i would say the same of cats but i have allergies)

i mean, everything i vocally hate on IS hateable, like obviously and irredeemably and indefensibly so

every so often my bf springs a kitchen task on me and it leaves me with PTSD. like rubbing flour and sugar and butter together or whatever it was? i was so bad at it

Pie crust?

Tuna melts?

mince pies

I've got a godson and two nieces now and the best thing about being a godfather and uncle is holding them each -- my choice! -- between five and ten minutes and never being the one to discipline them and no expectations foisted on you except dropping in when the children most want you.

lex and I have hung out a couple times and in person he's actually far more inclined to tell you what he loves and what he wants to do and eat and drink

I <3 the Lex.

I can't believe this thread hasn't been done before.

Wasn't there a "things lex hates" poll or did I make that up?

Lex is still the best :)

Wasn't there a "things lex hates" poll or did I make that up?

I did a "bands aero hates" poll once but it didn't turn out well

I know Lex hates comedy, but I wonder how he feels about when they put jokes in drama films/TV series.

you've been thinkin about that one for 3 yrs?

i think it's STANDUP in particular but happy to be corrected

Nah, it's sitcoms and comedy movies as well.

to be fair 'comedy movies' are 100% terrible and sitcoms are not much better, lex otm

depends on the joke

most jokes are very bad obv

Do you have a favorite version of the aristocrats?

not sure what that is apart from a film i haven't seen

the father takes the electric guitar, and begins to play some rock. the mother is on drums, the son on bass and the daughter on saxophone. their music is raucous and loud. their name is 'the aristocrats'

then they lez up
