There are a couple musicians that tumblr has decided are not allowed to merely be successful people who make good music, they must be Social Justice Icons. Musicians who are not Social Justice Icons are Terrible People and must be badmouthed at all possible times.
It's a trend with media in general but it cuts especially close with musicians because A) I am one, and B) more pressingly, they are real people rather than fictional ones.
something something artificial rarity blah blah this is actually the only legitimate problem I have with metal and punk blah blah something.
I can understand artificial rarity for the physical aspect. Your Super Special Edition of the album, with real diamonds in the cover and packaged with a real lock of the musician's hair? Sure, only make fifty copies of those; good luck selling them all. Just make sure all the songs on that album are also available on the Vanilla Edition, or digitally or something.

I'm not defending any of this I just think people who publish music are by and large very stupid human beings.
Wolf Fifth was a modernist music blog, featuring out of print and orphaned classics. Like so many great blogs, they fell victim to the cloud locker wars. Fortunately, UbuWeb's pal Justin Lacko downloaded the entire archive before they went down and donated the collection to UbuWeb. As you can see by the list below, there's a ton of stuff, and it's going to take quite some time to get this all sorted and posted on Ubu. So stay tuned. We're working on it.

I don't think many people on tumblr actually listen to pop punk, I think it's more of an in-joke.
Though, I've never found anything wrong really with Fallout Boy, but I also don't listen to their albums.
they're listening to a trench?
-crawls back into ditch-
he's gone now
aha!
so that's your secret

I hear iRobot's working on a small vehicle with an attached hoe. So it could have a higher intelligence rate if that were taken into account
I like that "Soul Fire" track, BTW.
melodically they're not particularly inventive or inspired, and lyrically they're kind of angsty
I'm kind of excited to see if it's any good
Your shitty pop punk is now diamonds.
