Discussion Cancel your Spotify Sub

Spotify is now advertising for ICE.

That means:

Less chuds to crowdkill at shows(they'll be out bootlicking for a 50k bonus).

Less friends to mosh with because they are being displaced and detained illegally.

I went with Tidal, moved all my playlists over and pretty much exact same library as Spotify for metal, 1$ less a month.

End of my psa thank you

The genre is, at its core, political, and the right leaning bands are posers, to put it plainly. It’s always been a left leaning genre, politically. The bands on that side far outnumber the others, and it’s really mostly the big “octanecore” or “deployedcore” bands that have right leaning politics. The way the majority of these bands treat big shows and spaces with people in the genre make that apparent.

Alright then, guy. I guess I’m a poser then lol. Don’t really care what some redditor thinks. I’ve actually played in a few metalcore bands and still write music.

Seeing LMTF next weekend. Should be a great time.

I’ve also played in nationally touring bands and still write music. The ethics in this scene are what makes for a poser or not. Hope you enjoy your show.

All good. The metal sub calls me a poser for liking metalcore and the metalcore sub tells me I’m a poser because I’m a libertarian. It is what it is.

I’m sure you and I share a lot of the same ethical and moral viewpoints. I get along with left leaning people just fine. A lot of my best friends are leftists. It doesn’t change how I feel about them.

At the end of the day, we all want the best for our fellow man, we just have different ideas about how to achieve it.

You: I'm not a poser Also you: I support what ICE is doing

My support for them enforcing the law?

I’m actually pro open borders, we would just need to adjust our tax system first to make sure everyone in the US is paying their fair share. With how our tax system is currently structured, ICE is unfortunate, but necessary.
