Brad - here's a heads up: you won't. Besides, wouldn't it be better to focus that energy on something else, like working on being a half-decent music critic or something? It's of little surprise to see you drag me into this discussion, mind - I otherwise would have been more than happy not to contribute, as much as I've been following the discussion.

Re: dickhole dads
Reminds me of how I started hearing about the whitedads category (middle aged white guys putting on a down to earth act, transparently pandering to be cool with the social justice kids)

I agree with lex about it being way worse ten years ago. I was pretty much jeered at non-stop for my first two years, and I can't really blame them. I mean, I've written some not-good posts in the past week or so, but even those are prob 2000% better than stuff I was saying on the reg in 2006/7
I dont know if imago would back me up on this or not but it is a little strange to see his 'ahahaha' held up as emblematic of current board toxicity when there was practically a genre of threads dedicated to banning him back in the day

btw there is an ilxors version of that group scott mentions. Quite a few ex ilxors from the old days are in it.
Its very relaxed and noone gets mocked for what they post. Anyone who wants to can join

i have a kneejerk reaction to any "things used to be better" hot take about anything but i've been on ilx pretty much since the beginning and i can say with certainty that it has always been good and bad, if not always in the same ways. anyone pining for some golden past of ilx is kidding themselves, same as anyone pining for some golden past of american history or whatever.

I think because ilxors just appear as letters on a screen it's easier to forget which ones told me to fuck off in the past.

that's kind of what I've been talking about. a newcomer wanders in, the most popular thread is a beef ouroboros. they wander into a thread for their favorite artist; it's dead. they think "hmm, I guess I use Spotify," more beef. or they think "I wonder if I can read some music writing," then discover that the most populated thread is dedicated to shitting on writers, sometimes with obvious reason but sometimes for reasons that lie deep in the depths of music writer drama. and then there is much handwringing about why the newcomer didn't stick around.

This is priceless coming from you, Brad. May I forward everyone to The 1975 thread to witness Brad's idea of expressing oneself as an adult, which looks remarkably like someone expressing themselves as a 14 year old emo kid.

me/turri beef is not really much of a beef imo. lex was talking upthread about kicking back against received wisdom and turri is a on certain subjects a received wisdom player piano and i like to yell about it. we probably would agree and hug about which genesis records are good, or something

lol I read part of the 1975 thread and the offending behavior is literally chiming in "this band sucks" combined with the classic i know more about this band and their origins and what they're going for so i can tell you objectively they suck routine I pulled when I genuinely didn't understand other human beings as a kid
this is not rational, normal human behavior but wow it's classic messageboard stuff
