    Metalbirb if you want to check out a solid Nickelback album one of my favourite's still to this day is The Long Road came out in 2003. It's a heavy album in Drop C some killer tunes on that one. Also BMTH's new album is great! For Dig It I literally trim down the song and cut out the robot talking voice in the intro and end it right before the 2 minute silence part so it makes a smooth transition into the next song lol

    Once you realize the BMTH x Underoath song is about the atrocities in Gaza it starts to make sense. Everyone wants to believe they’re just being edgy but there’s a message behind it. Try to explain that to Underoath’s old Christian fans though. They’re so riddled with brain rot it’s no use.

    I can’t say what’s shown in thumbnails is what necessarily gets my attention. For me, it’s 100% what’s in the background and the video quality of review, that makes me watch someone. I’ll use yesterday as an example. Was looking for FIR new song reactions and there was a thumbnail that showed someone sitting at a desk with a bright white sheet clothes-pinned up behind him. Even though there was a few hundred views on the video, I didn’t watch it cuz of how unprofessional the background looked. Professional looking lighting, calming coloring & background in a thumbnail is what makes me first watch someone. All 3 of you guys could have black squares for thumbnails and I’d click on them because of how mentally relaxing and professional looking I know the video behind that black box is gonna be.

    When it comes to Craig. Hes not wrong. Theres alot of bad reactors. And do it for the wrong reasons. I know for sure he respect for some of them. But in the grand scheme of things, hes got a point. I listen to his podcast. And he has spoken highly of some reactors. I think he may of done a poor job expressing his point in a short video.

    Unfortunately the same reactor thing happened with the UA-camr Penguinz0. A couple years ago reaction content started to get very stigmatized he stopped reacting to UA-cam videos like how to catch a predator and all that, what sucks is that he was one the most transformative reactors I've ever seen. That was the more general UA-cam scene, not the music UA-cam scene tho so reactions are a bit more stigmatized on that side of UA-cam 🤷

    Ronnie's character he puts on is not a heel. He's just genuinely a terrible human being with an insanely narcissistic personality and a victim complex. How anyone cannot see this come across in his music and the way he just speaks normally is baffling to me. He's a piece of garbage.

    It is very easy to "separate the art from the artist" when the "controversies" do not effect you. You're not brave for not taking a stance for the sake of "an unbiased review". You are falling in line. You are opening the door for more toxicity.

    • @TheMetalRoundup
      @TheMetalRoundup Місяць тому

      1st sentence: that makes total sense, I think that's a fair shout, not everyone's experience of events is the same. 2nd sentence: I don't imagine any of us think we're being 'brave', merely authentically ourselves (though I can't speak for the rest of the group). 3rd sentence: personally I don't know what group of people you might think I'm 'falling in line' with 🤔 I'm comfortable with not being part of a larger consensus and am also happy to change my mind when presented with new information. 4th sentence: the tricky thing about society is that as much as it's certainly possible to open a door to more toxicity in some circumstances it's also possible that closing a door could breed worse toxicity behind that door which may blow up way worse later. I think there is a greater benefit to keeping people part of the larger conversations so that everyone has the chance to learn from each other and become more aware of how we can build a better discourse together. - Steve

      @@TheMetalRoundup 1. I'm mostly referring to things like Ronnie's transphobia. What he says will not effect a cis person but trans people WILL be more unsafe because of it. 2. Maybe this wasn't fair but I've observed people who decide to side step problematic behavior have a bit of an ego - everyone else is too sensitive but YOU are willing to see past the discourse to appreciate the art. This is nothing new, people have been willing to turn away from bad behavior for the sake of art and talent for a long, long time. Which is - 3. -exactly what people like Ronnie, like Marilyn Manson, like Roman Polanski want. People who have said and done terrible things want others to pay no mind to their actions. That is how they get away with it. That is why all of these individuals and more still have careers. When I say "falling in line" I'm saying you ARE being part of the larger consensus of sacrificing empathy and social progress for the sake of art. Where is the line? 4. A community that is open to all is not safe for all. You can't put a trans person in a room with a transphobe and expect them to feel safe - they literally what them to no longer exist. You can apply this to a POC in a room with a racist, a woman and a misogynist, etc. You are also not building discourse by refusing to talk about the controversies. Drew was the only one to point to what people are angry at Ronnie for - but that gets swept away with putting the art first, refusing to educate yourselves on EXACTLY why what he is saying is hurtful because the Art. Comes. First. So you disregard his views entirely and don't talk about them at all. How can you expect to change anyone's minds with conversation if you don't even actually have one? Sorry for this being long, I wanted to make sure I could convey my thoughts as best I could!
