We had the radio on, some shitty music was playing, and it got us talking about other shitty music that had gained widespread public exposure despite no one admitting to liking it, and how weird it must be to be one of the secret fans who unironically loved Aqua's "Barbie Girl" or whatever enough to keep requesting it and sustaining it on the airwaves for months.
Hey! Hey!
Barbie Girl kicks ass!
I knew someone was going to say this, the only question was whether it was you or Zonnie

I'm talking about secret fans of shitty music. People who blast their bad opinions all over the place like an egg salad fart in crowded subway car are a whole different matter.
(For real though, that song is fine, but it falls into the category of music I mostly encountered at Mormon Youth Dances, which were not places for making happy memories.)
Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan

When I had my first job in a servo, the dude I usually had shifts with would constantly play Nickelback and Creed, so now any time I hear their music I have a weird craving for giant gummy snakes and the smell of tobacco
signing theory of a deadman to a label is enough reason to send chad kroeger to the fuckin' stocks in my opinion
look, when a band is as big as Nickelback was it's inevitable that they'll have copycat acts trying to ride their coattails
signing and producing the copycats yourself is fucking brilliant (see also: Default)

My problem with Nickelback is they made one good/successful song and then spent years effectively just remaking How You Remind Me instead of trying anything new
I actually really liked their second album, The State at the time, though I haven't gone back and listened to it in years to see if it still holds up
The Tea Party had a similar problem, years of distinctive sounding goth/industrial/prog rock, and then Heaven Coming Down blew up and they tried to chase more mainstream success for a while

If you succeed I'll need some Redskins and some milkos and a killer python andaybe even some clinkers.

Looks like The Australian Food shop has most of these things, for a non trivial markup
But I now have to disown you cause clinkers are awful sorry
Edit: also wow remember how redskins used to have a Native American caricature on the packaging
I assume by keeping the name and changing up the logo we are now pretending this candy is actual literal skin which is ... well it’s off putting but probably somewhat better

I dunno, everything I hear about Post Malone is that he's a really lovely person.
Same with my thoughts on Oasis, I really like Morning Glory but nothing else.

so are nickleback apparently
that doesn't change my point
A band I literally only remember because of how bad they were.

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
They don't really hold up at all.
I mean yeah, obviously. Nickelback is the definition of mediocre. Their music is so fucking average and perfectly inoffensive that it's offensive.
They don't suck cause they're bad, they suck cause they're nothing

But facetious, Ohio is for lovers.

Clinkers? I assume so because it has much the same effect on your teeth.
clinkers occupies the same brainspace as pingers, which I supposed is proper australian
Smashing Pumpkins is a much better band than Nickelback, this just seemed like the right thread to get that off my chest.
yes, but at least Chad Kroeger hasn't been a repeated guest on Infowars
Today I have learned a new and terrible thing about Billy Corgan.
I’m not proud
