about to mute this one because people have once again presumed i use twitter to have any sort of a conversation let alone debate

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

@jetskitosway2 ah the photorealistic hamburger, a window into...dare i say it...america itself

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

most of the people fretting over this didn't do anything of import in the 2000s beyond "going out" (neither did i, really) and you sound like tragically, prematurely aged whiners demanding young people take the ephemera of a long-passe nightlife culture seriously

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

internet-related context erasure is a real issue, especially if looking to learn the history of an era's art and culture. but if you are over 40 and arguing with a 22 year old on here about the definition of "hipster," you are not a historian, you are a loser and should stop that

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

@bartlebooth45 the only one that really tempts me is the ever-recurring "punk/hc is, was, and always shall be inherently leftist" bullshit, but i just have to remind myself the average user on here now is literally half my age and everyone has to be annoying about this stuff in their own time

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

i'm blaming schrader for this one, somehow he's responsible even if I'm not sure how

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

he don't have internet

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

@ChumHumCEO yeah at the time it felt more like a rebuke to former peers who were riding the post-nevermind gravy train, i think a lot of people in the touring d.i.y. underground took $5 as The Rule even though they might be drawing 50 or 100 people & splitting it between three to five bands

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

very goofball mistake, speaking authoritatively with a skimmed the wiki level of knowledge, but that said, as far back as the mid/late 90s i can remember bands complaining that the $5 per show economy did not work if you were not pulling fugazi numbers

[diego @diegbro]

without critiquing anything else- fugazi, California?

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

@bartlebooth45 obviously goregrind and etc are their own world, but i am kinda glad that people seem to be doing war atrocity covers a lot less, especially hardcore bands. i don't need to see some poor bastard's actual real life decapitated head every time i listen to your record

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

@Psychic_Driving i had to zoom in to try and figure out what's going on with the horrible little teeth there, and frankly I'm still not sure

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

they would throw a cartoonist in jail if they had this much style now

[Annabel Jessica Goldsmith @thatlacavagirl]

Raoul Walsh with cartoonist Peter Arno on the set of Artists and Models (1937)

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

much of the current audience is unaware of this tradition because in the late 90s/early 00s they were toddlers or sperm

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

thing about BOC is that for every new album since geogaddi (and there was probably even a small contingent doing it with music vs. hi scores) the response from many has always been "what is this, i don't like this, this is maybe even bad?" and then two years go by and it's fine

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

david lynch was out there hawking pizza hut and diet coke and god knows what else alongside bob saget and doogie howser and robin thicke's dad, i think it's probably fine if someone wears a t-shirt now

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

obviously there are many ways that twin peaks is unlike most (maybe all) other tv series, but the way modern viewers treat the series like some niche art project that might be sullied by commercialism is very funny, it was on the same network as america's funniest home videos

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

he's not even the biggest star of the 80s in that regard

[Layne @kill_morrissey]

Only morrissey has a Top 10 hater song list

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

something that would have turned going to indie rock shows in the 2000s from "convivial get-together" to "slayer at the ritz, 1986"

[matt @collapsedskull]

what the fuck is this

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

i think i preferred the "getting knifed outside a porn theater" nostalgia people had for new york in 2000 to the "once it was rainforest cafes as far as the eye could see" they apparently have for new york in 2026

[Jess Harvell @cheaptrickrules]

@Psychic_Driving the most advanced tech in a constantine story should be a CD player and even then it's only affordable to the kind of people he mostly hates
