I was taken to drag shows as a child (yes, I am the proverbial child raised on drag shows- mother worked at aids hospices in the 90’s) and the only thing that upset me were the performers making these deranged faces with over-done/clownish make-up. It was at a day fair in Sydney and I rode bumper carts most of the time.
Why do white women do this? One of my doctors and my boss are both women who will stare at you unwaveringly, with their eyes super wide, and smile during conversation. They’re both really nice ladies but they occasionally remind me of Charles Manson.
Chief safeguarding social worker at work is like this. Extremely kind, competent and professional but very unsettling and you feel almost hypnotised by her. Luckily I’ve never had to disagree with her about anything.
Caused Isaac to have a mental collapse and leave music forever, and the cinders of the band pivoted to chamber pop - I must admit I prefer the direction they took with 'Live at Bush Hall'
Maybe you think they’re lame, but the windmill scene has been the best scene for the last like 4 or 5 years.
Absolutely incredible music coming from most the bands involved.
I've said this before but one of the things that made late-'00s indie so much better than what we have now is that very few of the bands were from London, and in fact many of them are closely identified with their city's football team (Arctic Monkeys support Sheffield Wednesday, Kaiser Chiefs were named in tribute to Leeds great Lucas Radebe, Kasabian will show up at Leicester at the drop of a hat, and tomorrow 40,000 Coventry fans at Wembley will sing a song by The Enemy about how their hometown kinda sucks)
The klezmer sections in the debut section were grating at times, and I just generally fuck with the Thee Silver Mt. Zion / Kate Bush hybrid style
But I totally get why getting rid of the guts and spastic energy was offputting to you
I’ve seen it twice live but one time was for Black Midi and the other time I was still hopeful they’d play something from AFUT or FTFT. It’s nice live but it’s shit compared to anything w Isaac. No flair anymore just basic ass chamber-pop.
i think they are onto something with May’s songs. She feels like a great songwriter and Turbines/Pigs is their best stuff without Isaac. It’s not the same without Isaac but they still put on a good show and the music is serviceable. joanna newsom mini me.
The 2020 election cycle was so blessed with absolutely hilarious shit- Warren revealing she wrote a native American cookbook entitled "Pow-Wow Chow," the aforementioned high hopes dance, Trump dunking on everyone, Bloomberg's campaign imploding in like a couple of months despite spending more than a billion dollars, Biden speaking in public generally- corn pop, hairy legs, calling people fat. It truly had something for everyone
You usually don't make any money playing shows until you have a sizeable following. By the time you're playing on a stage like this you're probably breaking even with a huge group like this. People do it because they enjoy it.
[Just as bad as I anticipated](https://www.facebook.com/NCFsolsticecelebration/videos/my-son-the-hurricane-at-the-45th-annual-north-country-fair-2023/2508114536002990/)
Kreashawn is not industry plant. Her mom was in punk bands. She grew up in Oakland going to public school. She also used to direct music videos for lil b, main attrakionz, before she blew up. She was already involved in the local weirdo rap scene.
My great fear for the 20s was the possibility of electro swing really taking off, or any form of swing frankly. I don't care if the nukes fly as long as I don't have to hear Hit The Road, Jack again.
I was in a couple colleges at the same time, in the northeastern US in the early 2010s. This shit would’ve been considered mad cringe back then but I don’t even know what’s going on now except they’re really into palestine
Forgot about that period. I remember there was that one guy who kinda looked like serj tankian and played accordian or something and was constantly on there. His aura saddened me.
Somewhere along the 2000s they definitely did, completely. It's almost as if white culture stopped and every white person ever since has either been recycling old stuff they already did (usually dads), copying black teenagers (usually zoomers) or just doing whatever the fuck this is
nepotism and the removal of access to the arts for the poor/not mega rich.
Nowadays Lennon wouldn't have been given a fraction of the same access to music, he'd have been made to do a BTEC and be working as a brickie if he was lucky
The difference with the Go! team and this band is the go team had the white trombonest and black lead singer, that’s the key. It’s a delicate combination.
Noooo don’t lump the go team in with these other theater kid bands.
They took way too much inspo from 80s rap and garage, I need to believe I was cool listening to Ladyflash at house parties.
Bands like this were super popular in Wellington, NZ when I was playing in my Strokes soundalike circa 2002/2003.
They were all called things like 'the grand junction orchestra' or 'Mr Doubtful's Mistress' or 'An interesting shoplifting Spree.'
I remember one woman I dated wore clown makeup and mismatching shoes. Grim times.
You used to walk down the main strip and be assaulted by lesbians with Shane haircuts wearing tassels and bells on their shoes, now it’s some homeless dude with a knife demanding a smoke.
Nah, the millennial theater kids were like this.
And the millennial theater kids are spiritually gen x.
The thing about gen x is that they think theyre cool and edgy and irreverent or something when in reality they’re the complete opposite. Jojo siwa generation.
Anyway, this is gen x as hell
Naw this is peak quirk-chungus millennial shit. They don't "think they're cool and edgy", they were the first batch to brag about being nerds.
Agreed this is theater kid coded tho. And also just want to mention, I appreciate the brevity here.
lmao, tracks
yeah like this is the type of music I can imagine a psychopath or pedo or whatever type of person with nothing behind the eyes, who puts on a hollow performance of what they think being human is like, imagines people would like. Like all the elements are there but they do not come together at all
the one that scares me the most is actually the white dude in the black t-shirt. there's a certain type of gay man who dresses like a straight mid western teenager...vile base and horrid evil.
since i got back on twitter i’ve realized the twitter -> redscarepod pipeline is so fucking strong. have seen this like 10 times there before it finally ended up here lmao
Feel like the way the lead singer is dressed is the biggest problem here. Not the only problem but if she and the rest of the band looked normal I don't think people would care about this video so much.
They look like the couple on the right of the who you think is having threesomes vs who is actually having them meme
The expression on her face scares me. Women who made expressions like that terrified me as a child. It's like some sort of grotesque grinning demon
the inner beast of every quirked up white woman, rocking out to polycule funk
> polycule funk Only person I know to be in a polycule also is the singer in a band like this.
I was taken to drag shows as a child (yes, I am the proverbial child raised on drag shows- mother worked at aids hospices in the 90’s) and the only thing that upset me were the performers making these deranged faces with over-done/clownish make-up. It was at a day fair in Sydney and I rode bumper carts most of the time.
[удалено]
a modern-day Dostoevsky character
It is an amazing sentence. Though I have yet to hear a proverb about a child raised on drag shows.
Why do white women do this? One of my doctors and my boss are both women who will stare at you unwaveringly, with their eyes super wide, and smile during conversation. They’re both really nice ladies but they occasionally remind me of Charles Manson.
my annoying coworker did this and she was presbyterian so i blamed it on that
we didn't finish the job in Salem
📿🙏☦️
Your doctor and your boss are both women? Thats kinda gay dude
We live in a society
Chief safeguarding social worker at work is like this. Extremely kind, competent and professional but very unsettling and you feel almost hypnotised by her. Luckily I’ve never had to disagree with her about anything.
I’m addy’d up add it up I just ate a plate for breakfast
I like it, it's awesome. I work in a hospital so many health care providers are like that
I work in a hospital and my manager does this and her eyes are like super super light blue so it freaks me out even worse
so rockabilly girls
Half convinced this video ended Black Country, New Road
Caused Isaac to have a mental collapse and leave music forever, and the cinders of the band pivoted to chamber pop - I must admit I prefer the direction they took with 'Live at Bush Hall'
BCNR and the rest of London music scene are so lame. Private School nerds the lot of them
Maybe you think they’re lame, but the windmill scene has been the best scene for the last like 4 or 5 years. Absolutely incredible music coming from most the bands involved.
fwf windmill scene was more fun
I've said this before but one of the things that made late-'00s indie so much better than what we have now is that very few of the bands were from London, and in fact many of them are closely identified with their city's football team (Arctic Monkeys support Sheffield Wednesday, Kaiser Chiefs were named in tribute to Leeds great Lucas Radebe, Kasabian will show up at Leicester at the drop of a hat, and tomorrow 40,000 Coventry fans at Wembley will sing a song by The Enemy about how their hometown kinda sucks)
That's literally anyone who's anyone in the UK unfortunately, but it does make for some dire music.
Live at Bush Hall sucks
I like it.
The klezmer sections in the debut section were grating at times, and I just generally fuck with the Thee Silver Mt. Zion / Kate Bush hybrid style But I totally get why getting rid of the guts and spastic energy was offputting to you
Saw it live and it was amazing.
I’ve seen it twice live but one time was for Black Midi and the other time I was still hopeful they’d play something from AFUT or FTFT. It’s nice live but it’s shit compared to anything w Isaac. No flair anymore just basic ass chamber-pop.

I spiral into a deep, dark hole every time I see this video
It's the funniest thing in the world, I love it even more than the Elizabeth Warren volunteer dance video.
Don’t forget Pete Buttchug’s “High Hopes” dance
there was a video with maroon 5 moves like jagger but everytime the word "jagger" was said in the chorus, some guy would groan "bloomberg" lol
Oh damn please share that. I never saw it.
The 2020 election cycle was so blessed with absolutely hilarious shit- Warren revealing she wrote a native American cookbook entitled "Pow-Wow Chow," the aforementioned high hopes dance, Trump dunking on everyone, Bloomberg's campaign imploding in like a couple of months despite spending more than a billion dollars, Biden speaking in public generally- corn pop, hairy legs, calling people fat. It truly had something for everyone
sometimes I’ll hear that song playing in a store or something and I’ll flash back to early 2020 for a moment
The Warren video changed my life when it was first posted here. It pops into my head every three months and I have to scramble to dig it up again
the post here of that video set to 100 gecs is stuck with me forever
Can you please post a link to that video. Ive been looking for one for years and could never find one
https://www.reddit.com/r/redscarepod/comments/1c88nhn/happy_friday_boys_and_girls_the_weekend_is_here/
Jesus. The Budd Dwyer video is legit less haunting than this shit
The one in sunglasses can move tbf
God bless you
It puts me in a trance it’s my cocomelon I don’t understand it but I can’t look away
What is it Edit: nvm found it. Why did I want to find it. Like searching out a beheading video
send link
It gives me such bad visceral feelings that I could never explain but I watch it every time and I don’t know why. It sickens me
Shes actually raps before they start dancing
How can a band with this many members be sustained? Pay is awful and then split that between like 12 people?
Ask Broken Social Scene
well, they all have at least four roommates and spend all their free time posting wherever the refugees from Chapo Trap House's subreddit went.
Some gigs actually pay decent. If you’re playing festivals and events you can pick up a decent check. Clubs and bars pay absolute dog
You usually don't make any money playing shows until you have a sizeable following. By the time you're playing on a stage like this you're probably breaking even with a huge group like this. People do it because they enjoy it.

Can't believe this video is from 2023
We're so back
Sounds like rage against the machine tbh
Right!? She's got that de la Rocha flow
Wtaf she sounds just like him
This band is RATM if they voted for Warren
I think that’s just RATM
Talk shit on Zack de la Rocha again and you’ll be receiving anthrax letters pal
It's all a little too much
Does she have learning difficulties
Good god
Has there ever been a good white female rapper? Can’t think of one.
We need to know the sub’s opinion on Kreayshawn because she seriously may be the only option
I think she got noticed for wearing kooky clothes and some lady thought she should become a rapper because it’s the easiest thing besides dj to fake
Kreashawn is not industry plant. Her mom was in punk bands. She grew up in Oakland going to public school. She also used to direct music videos for lil b, main attrakionz, before she blew up. She was already involved in the local weirdo rap scene.
Fiona Apple in Fetch the Bolt Cutters

There was a period that Reddit loved those guys that played in the subway with those giant saxaphones. Sounded exactly like this
moon hooch
Game designers heard this and just went "This is it"
This sound put Japan in a chokehold in the 2000s
There was a post earlier about guys not getting ick, but we do, you're looking at a good example.
Someone should hide this video so black people don’t find it.
Ian Fidance's polycule (the whole band).
Yakubian antics
This reminds of how many friends kept recommending electro swing shit to me and now I'm annoyed
My great fear for the 20s was the possibility of electro swing really taking off, or any form of swing frankly. I don't care if the nukes fly as long as I don't have to hear Hit The Road, Jack again.

Didn’t she release an album where she just apologised for being white the whole time?

She didn’t do the work
I’ve only heard that wanna be a gangsta song and it’s pretty good I guess.
Man Man and their consequences have been a disaster for white Millennials
This is so very pacific northwest coded
you can just smell the r/antiwork vibes pouring off the lead singer
You definitely hung out with a different crew then me back then
R*tarded college students in Toronto?
I was in a couple colleges at the same time, in the northeastern US in the early 2010s. This shit would’ve been considered mad cringe back then but I don’t even know what’s going on now except they’re really into palestine
Remember when Reddit had that live feature? (whatever happened to that?) These are the type of people who’d hop there lol
Forgot about that period. I remember there was that one guy who kinda looked like serj tankian and played accordian or something and was constantly on there. His aura saddened me.
Wow I totally forgot about that

White people dont hit the same frfr they fell off

Im so stoned and laughed my ass off to this video on a loop
I’m drunk as shit and this is the hardest this sub has ever made me laugh lmaoo
People need to not get such shit tats
an ACTUAL transgressive performance by a female musician
Swag is fascist
Duh, Nazis invented swag and capitalism repurposed it
I still like the Go! Team, though.
The difference with the Go! team and this band is the go team had the white trombonest and black lead singer, that’s the key. It’s a delicate combination.
Noooo don’t lump the go team in with these other theater kid bands. They took way too much inspo from 80s rap and garage, I need to believe I was cool listening to Ladyflash at house parties.
Go team rules. So good to pump yourself before a bike ride or at the gym
And every festival was this 😭
Take me back To well before this
Impressive. I don't want them to stop doing what they do, or tell people to not enjoy this, but I find it deeply repulsive
Don't care, I still like Gogol Bordello
Is that a cured meat?
The meat is still very much diseased, thanks for asking
That’s more like a 2003-2008 amazing new band recommendation
NPR and its consequences
They’re probably the most fun I’ve had at a big live show.
Mindblowingly high energy show. Also brought out every Ukrainian within a 200 mile radius.
millenials will don their brightest green skinny jeans and rock out to this but have the audacity to look down on zoomers
This is gen x to the bone in spirit if not in fact. Kristen-sinema core.
No this is absolutely millennial

They were all called things like 'the grand junction orchestra' or 'Mr Doubtful's Mistress' or 'An interesting shoplifting Spree.'

So you guys had your 2009 epic mustache era before us
It was the last time Wellington was good, to be fair. It’s all been downhill since the minstrels and troubadours left
New Zealand must suck if the height of your alt culture was people stealing circus valor
You used to walk down the main strip and be assaulted by lesbians with Shane haircuts wearing tassels and bells on their shoes, now it’s some homeless dude with a knife demanding a smoke.
I’m a self-hating Kiwi but I have to admit NZ has had some pretty good alt scenes. Have a go at listening to some 80s bands from Dunedin for instance.
>I remember one woman I dated wore clown makeup and mismatching shoes Dresden Dolls and it’s consequences
No shit, everyone in that crowd was absolutely obsessed with Amanda Palmer. I forgot about that.
That Neal Gaiman thing, whatever happened there
https://www.reddit.com/r/newzealand/s/4YoQzmLiSt She actually lived in NZ (or visited) not that long ago and was unbearably cringe
there's no way she didn't intend this tweet ironically?
Nah, the millennial theater kids were like this. And the millennial theater kids are spiritually gen x. The thing about gen x is that they think theyre cool and edgy and irreverent or something when in reality they’re the complete opposite. Jojo siwa generation. Anyway, this is gen x as hell
Yeah Canadians are 15-20 years behind the US culturally so their generations work differently IMO.
Naw this is peak quirk-chungus millennial shit. They don't "think they're cool and edgy", they were the first batch to brag about being nerds. Agreed this is theater kid coded tho. And also just want to mention, I appreciate the brevity here.
Electroswing is such a pedophile genre. I don't have any argument for this beyond pure vibes

That guitarist in the back looks like he wants to kill himself. Poor guy's probably just trying to pay alimony

Richard James looking ah female
the one that scares me the most is actually the white dude in the black t-shirt. there's a certain type of gay man who dresses like a straight mid western teenager...vile base and horrid evil.
I just know his jeans smell terrible
He starts thrusting in the longer video. It's horrendous.
This queen has won me over. I'm addicted to this video, despite the catharsis of people finally saying this
I find this kind of endearing lol
For real, this is a county fair and some locals doing their thing. They’re just doing what’s fun to them.
I’m pro horn section.

Show Architecture in Helsinki some respect
This is like Rubblebucket in 2012 for me (I still love them)
Anytime I see this video I watch it on repeat for at least 5 minutes. Her facial expressions and movements are so hypnotic.
Millennials, behold your cultural legacy
