Mainstream trap is dead as fuckkkkkk

Who are some artists that you think work better as sidemen / guests than they do as leaders?

SOADs last 2 albums can't hold a candle to their first 3. A lot of it sounds more like a parody of themselves, lyrically it's often uninspired and too on the nose, melodies are hit or miss, and production just sounds weak. Also Daron is unbearable most of the time. (Insert obligatory mention of Lonely Day)

Greta Van Fleet and Airbourne should go on a co-headlining tour and only play Led Zeppelin and AC/DC covers to see if the audience notices

Benjamin Lisboa

We need a Nu-Metal revival but with good artists

It feels like out of all the members of System of a Down, only Serj seems to genuinely believe in the words of the songs they made. While everyone else in the band has either become an enlightened centrist or a hardcore MAGA supporter.

Waffles!

i bet that 200 years from now people are gonna listen to black metal albums that experiment with auto-tune and think it's unimaginative

Waffles!

Anthony i know you said you're not big on classical, but surely you have a few favorite classical pieces?

What are your thoughts on other YouTubers taking your let’s argue format and applying it to other forms of media. ( I.e films and video games)

Isaac Furler

It's been more than 5 years since your best albums of 2010s list and I'm wondering if after all this time your top 10 changed in any capacity. Is there any record that you would like to replace with other album you warmed up to or maybe some examples of your top 10 that you loved even more since then?

The anti-hype bandwagon that Geese is facing right now is pretty much the same as when artists in the late '80s into the '90s would sign to major labels and get ripped to pieces for supposedly selling out. If social media existed back then, artists like Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Mazzy Star and Soundgarden would've met with a lot of the same hateful personalities at the same volume that artists like Geese do these days. Even though their sound wasn't that much different from before they got signed. If Maruja, Model/Acrtiz, Die Spitz, Lambrini Girls or Geordie Greep were instead getting the hype and success of Geese, they'd be getting thrashed about by the same idiots. If feels equally as ridiculous with people saying they want something new, rock is dead and needs a comeback artist, only to be given something actually new and lash out at it instantly. It's more about having new targets than new music.

Rage against the machine “sold out” about as much as nirvana “sold out”, people who make that argument most times with certain acts it’s really being knit picky usually on a personal gripe they have with something about the band they are trying to call out

Emma Ruth Rundle trilogy of albums Marked for Death > On Dark Horses > Engine of Hell is one of the most consistent and emotionally devastating trilogies of all time in music. It’s dynamic and shoegaze-y approach to instrumentals at the start then transitioning into a more bare and stripped back instrumental palate sonically conveys a journey from overwhelmed despondence to quiet resolution. The themes and lyrics truly encapsulates how it feels to wallow in each and every emotion. It genuinely is one of the most moving album trilogies ever!

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers is the most underrated punk/rock record of the 90s. Rather than the speed most punk albums are celebrated for, The Holy Bible is dense, intellectual, and uncompromisingly dark. I don’t know why the west has largely forgotten about the record, maybe it has something to do with Richey Edwards, but more likely it has something to do with how uncomfortable the album is to listen to.

Hello There

Clavicular getting brutally frame mogged by the ASU Frat Leader while jestergooning will spike his cortisol levels badly. Also, is ignoring the Foids while munting and mogging Moids more useful than SMV chadfishing in the club?

Perhaps this is just based off my own personal experience, but people within my age range (18-30 yo) don’t seem to really be into aggressive forms of music. About as aggressive as they’ll go is Sleep Token, and whatever bands their parents turned them on to from artists from their day (Metallica, Linkin Park, Black Sabbath, etc.). For a couple quick examples, my buddies and I like KG&LW. However, I’m the only one that likes Infest the Rats Nest and Petrodragonic, clearly the bands most aggressive albums. I’m also the only one that was hyped about the new Converge album that just came out, or the Deafheaven album last year, or the Blood Incantation album in 2024. And yes, I realize rage music is a thing currently, but I’d argue that’s more of a heavily energetic form of music than it is aggressive, and if you disagree with that that’s fine, but I think even if you did, you would admit it’s a toned-down aggression in comparison to the bands I just listed (or even like Black Flag or Pantera from back in the day). Any thoughts as to why this is?

Doin’ It by LL Cool J is the inverted Kim by Eminem

What’s your favorite Ian Williams project (Don Cab, Storm and Stress or Battles?)

Whats a song that you didn’t quite fully “get” but now that you’ve had some life experience you totally understand deeper now?

[Sorry for incoming yap session] People love to dog on Hololive members and other VTuber artists but they might genuinely be some of the most exciting musical acts of the decade. Artists like Hoshimachi Suisei, Amane Kanata, Nekomata Okayu, Takanashi Kiara, and ReGLOSS have had some of the strongest and most fun discographies of the decade, while Sakura Miko, Takane Lui, Ninomae Ina'nis, and Houshou Marine’s recent projects have brought some genuinely forward thinking and unique sounds that aren't much like anything else in the American mainstream or even some of the underground artists covered by major publications. Not even to mention the promise that Cecilia Immergreen, Gigi Murin, and Kobo Kanaeru have brought with some thoughtful and heartfelt singles. I could go on and on about all the good music that the company has brought to the table but all in all I just wish major music journalists and critics gave them the seriousness they deserve.

Idk how much of a tough question this is but What’s your favorite Ian Mackaye project/ album there are quite a few options because of the amount of bands that he’s in I’d probably say Repeater but it’s a tough one
