I need you to understand: there is bands with allegations on every single rock festival this year. I promise you if you post a line up you will find one. It is so engrained in the culture of our scene that if I were to pull off a festival every time I see a name announced I don’t like or agree with you would never see me outside my own tour. If I don’t scream at promoters and sing my songs about it at them nobody will ever give a fuck or listen. My fans go to my shows because they already know the deal and foster a safe space. But I go to festivals to start a riot. This has always been the goal. This is why I make bimbocore.
important announcement!! @blackveilbrides@andyblack are coming to the @vans warped tour long beach and orlando! they're excited and also sorry (take whichever feeling you need)

Once again, I will not be apologizing for any song ever regardless of if any random band in the scene does or doesn’t have law suits or allegations I’ve said multiple times: I let people fill in the blank at shows and never tell them to because it’s up to them to let it out. Stop telling me to. I’ve said it in interviews and videos since the day it’s dropped. I even allocated song proceeds to RAINN because I don’t give a fuck about making money off a scene with fucked culture. So cry to a wall about it “if the shoe fits shove it up your ass” -18+ . ALSO, I’m never gonna pry through logistics of someone else’s lawsuit in the name of repping bands I listen to enough women hug me every night at shows and “say thanks for 18+ I was groomed by (endless names of bands)” to give a fuck about how men in this scene feel. I’m also not gonna rely on the justice system EVER. My song was, is, and will continue to be a protest. And I will not shut up the people that it helps. If you’re gonna die on the hill of whatever band that’s on you. 18+ will be played at every show ever. Stop sending me fucking death threats, and start asking why this scene is the way it is.
