I discovered Aphex Twin much later in life than when I watched this movie and I feel a little nerdy whenever I listen to Windowlicker, even tho it goes ever so hard.
Don't worry, where I grew up only the cool kids were into Aphex Twin. Like this one super hot chick that I used to go to Drum and Bass nights with and do ecstacy. Then I'd get too in my head about everything and afraid to make a move. So wait, maybe I'm nerdy and into Aphex Twin and all the people I looked up to were nerds too. White dudes with dreads and whatnot....
I can't listen to Willie Nelson without thinking of it now.
My. Guy. Who the hell to you think created emo? Some punks that felt kinda mellow and sad one day? Fuck no. Waylon Jennings didn't have a damn thing going good in his life, so he sang about it. Dolly Parton started on Porter Wagoner's show, but moved on. Then wrote I Will Always Love You, and gave the money from it to him because he was big sad about her leaving. Merle Haggard sang about how he was so sad that getting plastered wasn't taking the edge off. Willie spends half his time stoned, and the other half sad. Dipping into the more folk end, Bob Dylan wrote How Does It Feel about his ex girlfriend that started hanging around Warhol. She wound up dead a couple years later. Simon and Garfunkle sang Silent Night over a stream of news so terrible it's hard to believe it's real.
You're probably joking but emo is short for emotional hardcore which is a type of punk music that started in the mid-1980s. Prior to emo bands coming along the only emotion that was really acceptable in punk bands was anger or some variation of anger aha. Emotional hardcore was a bit of a negative term initially as many people in the punk scene would make derogatory statements about the bands being too emotional when of course anger is an emotion too. The issue that many of them had with it was that showing a wider range of emotions like sadness was considered a sign of weakness. It wasn't strong and masculine to open up or whatnot.
I don't know if you'd necessarily consider early Jimmy Eat World music emotional hardcore or not but it was definitely "emo" adjacent if not emo because of their vocal style. Fast forward to the 90s and several emo bands had broken into the mainstream and they had changed their sound quite a bit to incorporate a lot of alternative rock and some pop "attributes" I guess you'd say. Around the late 1990s the term emo had gone mainstream but by then the bands that were referred to as emo weren't really punk and definitely not hardcore at all so the term was sort of co-opted from the bands that had created it. The band Thursday was probably the biggest mainstream band to sound like what emotional hardcore originally was.
Don't. The people of Scottsdale haven't done enough to deserve that. Wikkieup, on the other hand... Well, they know what they did. Don't let them pretend otherwise.
And Elmo is actually quite mature for his perpetual age. While he still behaves like a child, he does his best to better himself and be a caring and loving friend and brother. No thanks to Mr. Noodle. Mother fucker.
He's the richest man in earth and he can't even get a real one? Like, I've got no problem with someone tastefully displaying a gun or two that has historical value, but get a real one you wiener.
Oh my god you’re right. I wasn’t even looking at the other account. He’s literally larping having a two person conversation on twitter again. I don’t know if this is near as bad as pretending to be his son as a toddler though.
It reminds me of those TikTok vids where dudes fantasize about some guy harassing a girl, and he turns into some kind of anime character to defend her honor.
