Something something separate art from the artist something something
I learned about Grimes from her spot in Cyberpunk 2077. Excited at the potential well of new music I looked her up and first result is a divorce with Musk.
Come on, man.
Same thing… Looked up who voiced the lisping rockstar in game because it seemed so peculiar to me. And its just… her. Really soured me on Lizzy.
They divorced, and she’s not a big fan of him now, to be diplomatic about it
At least it’s a divorce
Well, for there to be a divorce, there needs to be a wedding. 😬
She definitely thought he was a viable human being at some point though.
Do people forget that so did the rest of society at large before he publicly went off the deep end?
1990 heavy metal scene flasbacks
I also got one of these this week
Shortly before kanye’s nazi controversy, Spotify was pushing him hard, lol
It’s not just music. It’s hard to find guilt free enjoyment in almost anything nowadays. Someone involved in its creation will almost inevitably be a turbo-cunt somehow.
Guilt-free is impossible if you pay for it. Pirating though, you can draw the line yourself. Like for example Harry Porter the movie is a combination of multiple talented people, i don’t attribute all those to a single cunt, and pirating mean i can avoid paying that cunt while also acknowledging the talent that contributed to this whole series(by watching their other works, but i’m also a massive cunt as i pirate everything and not paying streaming service a single cent)
Don’t really like the series anyway, the setting is pretty nice though. Will still avoid media from people who crossed that line though.
I’ve come to the conclusion that being an ethical consumer is probably impossible. I will however still try. Perfection is the enemy of progress and all that.
“there is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism”
It’s been a known concept in leftist theory for a long while.
Have you seen The Good Place by any chance?
You can enjoy art without getting caught up on the artist’s views and actions
Yes, but
The way you phrased it makes me feel like this is one of Hitlers…
You don’t have to solely trust your gut. You can also read the bottom right corner.
Heeey, I didn’t notice that. Thanks!
It is, but it’s a bad example because Hitler’s paintings are shit.
I think it’s a good example because art is subjective and liking this picture doesn’t mean you’re a nazi.
And yes his art is shit. But to each their own.
Tap for spoiler
Which is ironically a Nazi quote.
Usually I agree, my one exception is Lost Prophets. Ian Watkins crimes were so awful that now when I’ve tried to listen to their first album (which I loved at release) I just feel sick.
From what I’ve read it didn’t begin until, like, after their third album. So that’s how I rationalize it, and I hate saying that. But Fake Sound of Progress and Start Something were utterly formative for me, so I’ve gotta cope.
TIL Watkins was killed in prison
Sometimes, yes, but then you have this terrible painting and read the name on bottom right say D. Trump
We’ve seen trump’s art style and it’s not anywhere near this skilled
That’s not even an original art style. I bet if you ask around 1/1000 grandma’s can paint you that.
Black metal bands : nazi
Classic rock artists : pedophiles
Inquisition : both
It’s cool they can span multiple genres like that
I thought this was a win for anon?
This was their awakening.
This never happens to me, thankfully
“I simply don’t look too much into things”
Alternatively known as ignorance is bliss
And that’s why I haven’t bothered listening to much music since around 2010
