Are there any artists or bands that you'd prefer to just go away completely, over getting any better musically?

(Bonus points if they're not a pedo or anything, and it's mostly to do with their musical output)

But yeah, honestly? I don't really care if MGK makes good music or not, I just want him to go away for good. Do you guys have anything like that? Do note that the more you don't give a shit (or outright don't like) the prospect of them making good music, the better!

Was this kind of “holy hell that was THAT long ago?” rhetoric a huge thing with previous years?

I’m sure it was, but I’ve only really seen this happen in recent years. Were people in 2010 shocked to release how far long ago 1995 was? Or people in 1995 for 1980?

From Todd's video on "Crash" by the Human League:

"It's so dated, especially that particular synth sound. Euuurgh.. I know we've been living and breathing 80s nostalgia since, like, 2002- but that particular sound has never come back, and for good reason."

But, like... are there any songs where that synth (or anything similar) works? I think it works wonderfully in the chorus of Steve Winwood's "Higher Love", it really helps to make that song soar. Are there any other good examples?

When Todd eventually covers The Big Day, I desperately hope he mentions this line from the follow up because of how blatantly untrue it ended up being

Like, I don’t think a line has haunted me quite like this. Chance outright admitted The Big Day wasn’t good and that he wanted to move past it, but it’s clear he didn’t and probably never will. That shit will haunt him forever, and was basically the point where I knew for a damn fact his career was never going to get back to where it once was

Yes, the video is funny and Megamind 2 is genuinely pretty damn bad- sort of low hanging fruit even at the time, but I get it. Movie not good.

However, it's important to note that Schaff was exaggerating heavily- all the screaming and ranting was obviously done to make the review more entertaining, it's clear he wasn't THAT mad over the dumb low-budget Megamind sequel. The problem is that people who genuinely do get THAT mad started to emulate his behaviour without a single hint of irony.

Now you have a bunch of kids (and an equal amount of immature adults!) screaming about low-budget sequels and shit- and yeah they're usually bad, but getting THIS angry feels kind of over-the-top when you're not fucking around like Schaff does. It's made online movie criticism a lot less nuanced and a lot less fun tbh

Like the actual message of it is good and something I agree with, but why the fuck is it read backwards?? I can only assume the guy who made the original image with wojaks was some terminal 4chan weeb who forgot that English texts are read left-to-right, not right-to-left. It's fucking bizarre how people still use this shit, it's nearly incomprehensible if you're not used to it, like I was the first few times I saw this. What a way to ruin a genuinely useful fallacy lmfao
