fire, water, air and dirt / fukkin magnets / how do they work?

btw totally disgusted w/yr alls attempted rehab of icps image here, cant trick me

it's true, 311 is bigger than ever. this is coming to my area soon:
Unity Tour 2010 / 311 & The Offspring with special guests Pepper
(excerpt from gig description: 311 are touring behind their 2009 studio release, Uplifter - the highest charting 311 album ever, debuting at #3. 311’s reputation as a renowned live band has grown steadily along with their catalog of modern rock hits – including ”Down,” “All Mixed Up,” “Amber,” “Come Original,” “Beautiful Disaster” and “Love Song.”)
also coming to my area:
Insane Clown Posse with Kottonmouth Kings, Coolio, Kittie, Necro plus Juggalo Clown Wrestling

amber is the color of your energy, woah oh

this is fucked up news abt 311

hate to be the bearer of fucked up news. the world is a crazy place.

hahah tell me the offspring have a similar cult around them

magic all up in this crazy bitch

The Offspring are currently in the studio working on the follow-up to their heralded Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace album, which featured the alternative and rock radio staples “Hammerhead” and “You¹re Gonna Go Far, Kid.” The band will take a break from the studio to hit the road and debut some new material along with their classic hits. The band are known best for their modern rock anthems including “Self Esteem,” “Come Out And Play (Keep ‘Em Separated)” and “The Kids Aren¹t Alright.”

writing pretty fly out of history

Musical Style

Various writers and critics define 311 by a number of genres. They are generally known as an alternative rock band, but they are also classified as rap rock, rap metal, funk rock, funk metal, ska punk, reggae and jazz fusion.

amber is more black metal imo

i don't really like to hate on bands, but 311's version of "Lovesong" killed a little part of me.

don't know if this has been noted but ;_;
"Over the past 30 years, ICP has released more than 23 albums, including more than 10 RIAA certifications and the Billboard Top 200’s longest running hip-hop record."

ICP > amber metal

campbisco OTM

that's kind of like saying "hipsters go to Will Ferrell movies, therefore Will Ferrell is a hipster phenomenon"

wasnt this the nature of many whiney arguments i.e. gucci mane, kevin smith, icp etc.

"i saw someone talking about it on ilx -- hipsters must be all over it"

In the last month I ran into someone from the band B00gie Boarder rocking a FREE GUCCI shirt, and saw a house party in Austin where BL1SSED 0UT ran a gucci song through a distortion pedal as partnof his set, so continue to STFU deej

can we just talk about how prophetic i was my making this display name a mere 4 hours ago

snap goin ham

ok admittedly I am running on low sleep so it's not really a major accomplishment to make me lol pretty hard but still "deejus, get off the whiney weingarten penis" is A+ lols imo

also, last time i checked, deej lived in a town where people still listen to post-rock, so dude prolly shouldn't step to me about hipsters

Whiney WEEPING FOR THE UNDERDOG in this bitch

it was so, so hard not to post this response to the zing thread

http://twitter.com/ichlugebullets/status/11952796043

zings from beyond the grave

last time i checked, deej lived in a town called doo doo eater ville where only stupid people live, and they eat their doo doo, so dude prolly shouldn't step to me about hipsters

XD

ayo whiney do you really consider all the lols "bashing"? ICP 1) know they're funny 2) are being funny on purpose - it's possible to say "this shit is hilarious" and still not be laughing meanspiritedly imo

like that bashir interview afaic dudes come off like enviably together ppl w/their priorities straight, and that's been the word on them for years - at instore signings, they hang around until the last fan's gotten his hand shaken even if it takes 8 hours etc - 100% sincerely think these guys are awesome, also think it's fair to laugh at guys IN CLOWN MAKEUP.

guys who write songs like "I Stab People"

I could kind of understand Whiney getting his panties in a bunch about some of the other ICP threads that turned into LOLz @ fatjuggalo.jpg for large stretches, but this one is straight up homage.

i guess its not the bashing its just the overarching vibe that we're definitely "looking down" on a subculture vastly inferior to ours.

I mean can i just

"I spun her around and licked her face/She screamed, hit me with a can of mace"

vs.

"I fell in love with the first cute girl that I met who could appreciate Georges Bataille/Standing at Swedish festival discussing "Story of the Eye"

i'm not really trying to be capn save a clown and all, but i'm just kind of tired of hearing it from all angles. it's way bigger than just an ilx thread

violent j said something on stern like 10 years ago about why they couldn't understand why everyone hates them. they're not on the radio, they're not on MTV, they're not in your face like a backstreet boys or a britney or a beiber. they're a total underground thing that you can ignore like you would ignore a bright eyes album, and yet the internet is picking apart their every move like they're pearl jam.

i'm just pointing it out, i'm not gonna get all super-aggy about it

aggy everywhere in this bitch

anyway, what you say could apply to phish, and i think it's pretty reasonable to hate phish & it has nothing to do with classicism

or i guess, what violent j said

& people pick apart everything they do because they are transparently & inherently ridiculous

seriously ppl that whole bashir interview is genuinely inspiring to me. because it's the same situation as in dream deceivers, guys who make music for a niche audience and have a special bond w/that audience, being accused of wanting the hurt the people to whom they owe their careers, and getting a chance to say to clueless dudes "what we do is about love & family & if you can't understand that, that's on you"

not that i don't think there's some element to truth about what you're saying re: "hipsters" or w/e, but it's not like their art isn't asking to be picked apart by internet culture -- i.e. there was no classicism i think in the "picking apart" and rofling at die antwoord -- it's just lol ridiculous rap

whiney i dont care about how connected you are to what hipsters think, you just have an unbelievably distorted view of the real world, worse than any 'hipsters' i know

my fukkin dad would make fun of these dudes if he saw them on nightline -- must be a hipster!!

i think you a have a distorted idea of the argument i'm trying to make

ill get off whiney's dick when he stops annoying world-weary posts abt hipster anthropology -- who the fukk even seriously talks bout 'hipsters' any more like its some easily identifiable group of ppl -- all this shit is covered on npr, my mom probably heard titus androdicosdjsiojd before i did, owl city is popular with everyone, plz stop using the word 'hipsters' without some self awareness

i think you have a distorted idea of reading comprehension skills

this is pretty self-aware tbh, ffs

also in general can we cut all the side-stepping around the word "hipster" like it's some ugly "other." I'm so goddamn tired of everyone on ILX being like "I'm fat/old school/unfashionable/nerdy so I'm not a hipster." Jesus christ, we all post on a message board where people deconstruct the meaning of the word "balearic" and transcribe gucci mane lyrics and call Dirty Projectors "boring normal indie" and brag about the blues 78s they found at estate sales. Enough with the posturing already, ffs

.e. there was no classicism i think in the "picking apart" and rofling at die antwoord

classicism?

lol autocorrect

meant classism

oh no -- a silly clown group is making goofy-ass music & people think its funny!!

the constant attention you pay to ilx/williamsboard/whatever those other sites are that i guess represent 'hipsters' just gives those groups even more attention & a disproportionate amount of significance in your head than they have in the real world. its like, if u actually have some critique to make about these ideas, then call out individual writers or something but stop spending time opining abt the motives of some shadow group of cultural antiheroes youve decided need so much damn attention. its just as bad as uncritically propping up every 'hipster' band that gets some buzz ... u can step back & remove yourself from that game entirely

deej, i agree "hipster" is a problematic word and doesn;t exactly accurately describe the diverse world of alt-leaning message board communities who get caught up in leaked mp3s and meta-commentary and sterogum and whatev; and fringey fashiony people. but, seriously "hipster" is currently the most understandable thing we have going. Quit pissing your fucking pants about it.

and uh, yeah, i know people like sufjan aren;'t really "famous" i'm not a fucking retard.

i think you mean fukkin retard
