  • I’d say collectively the genre of black metal. In 2004 most black metal acts were still doing the same kind of lo-fi DIY “buzzsaw in a garbage can” style that had been popular throughout the 90s. You could find artists who were starting to get more creative with it, but you really had to look hard sometimes.

    Don’t get me wrong, I still love old school black metal, but when that’s all there is it starts to all sound alike after awhile.

    Now it seems like every time I hear a new black metal release people have really started pushing the genre WAY past a bunch of white guys in corpse paint singing about how depressed they are lol! Now there’s tons of interesting electronic bands, lots of crossover bands, lots of avant garde artistic stuff, lots of stuff from different countries all over the world all adding their own unique sounds… It’s just really refreshing to hear a genre that was notoriously strict become something so much bigger and better









  • If little Suzie got her hand caught in a car door today’s modern Republican would claim it was part of a conspiracy by foreign auto makers to destabilize the US education system.

    Then someone would find out that little Suzie’s parents are Jewish and claim the whole thing is part of a satanic pedophile ring trying to undermine the good Christian values this country was founded on.

    Then once any sane person in the room points out that this is all clearly bullshit they would turn on Suzie and file a lawsuit claiming that she is somehow responsible for the downfall of the US automotive industry.

    Several years later after Suzie has had to move 8 times because of death threats against her family the GOP would deny any wrongdoing, claim they’ve never heard of anyone name Suzie, and call the whole thing a woke liberal conspiracy.





  • I was watching Top Chef the other day and one of the contestants kept talking about the “chocolate soil” he was making as part of his dish. He must have repeated that phrase “chocolate soil” at least 10 times because he thought it was really clever I guess. All it did was remind me that any time someone uses the word “soil” in the context of food all I can think of is poop. Like a soiled diaper or something.

    It ended up really grossing me out

    I don’t know why they wouldn’t just call it something else…
