The indie scene will save art and the freedom of information

If Articles 11 and 13 go through the indie scene is gonna explode because word-of-mouth, chatrooms and local communities are gonna be how you hear about stuff

when will people realize, that if you give attention to things you hate, you bring attention to it, and then people who dislike you will support it just out of spite for you, and then other people will see it

its best to ignore it in the hopes no one else likes it and it fades from view

i remember when catcher in the rye was considered banned

kids would go out of their way to find it just because it was banned

The other thing is that censorship works only if people are willing to take part in it. As you said- back then people were not willing to do that so all atemps failed

and its a boring af book.

So yeah

It's like

Suppression just makes the communities you're trying to eradicate closer

Underground music is gonna absolutely blow up, which I'm excited for as an up-and-coming rock vocalist lmao

rock became mainstream and sort of died off.

need to bring back the old parents calling it satans music, make it cool again

oh wait, we have SJWs to call it bigot's music

My whole schtick with rock is like, it's lost its spirit nowadays

Most people who play rock that I've met in the Birmingham scene at least are all like

"I wanna be famous", "I want people to notice me"

Rock was about authenticity, being free to be who you are, embracing that outside of the mainstream

Purposeful counterculture to prove a point

It was intellectual, in some ways poetically and in some ways scholarly

It's all stoners and cokeheads, no substance

They like the scene and image but don't understand what it truly is

And do what you like, be free, that's the point of rock, but... be authentic

Stop being fake, stop focusing on the money

That's why rock died

Grunge made everyone too sad to care

Then everyone got stoned or OD'd

Now in my generation of rock, you have idiot anarchists, emos who aren't saying anything, or drugged-up posers. No inbetween, no exception, except POSSIBLY Greta Van Fleet who are actually very talented, and indie rockers who get ignored

And that's what I wanna do. Grab the world by the balls and tell em straight, "Fuck you, I reject what you're forcing me to be and do and say". These sons of bitches can play rock til the day they die but they'll never be rockstars, yknow?

I don't wanna play rock, I wanna be a rockstar. And that's what a rockstar was

Someone who was told their place and said "No"

/rant

TLDR Rockers stopped standing for freedom and started being illogical ideologues, apathetic wasters or sellout bitches. Not me

you know what is funny? i used to listen to a punk band that used to talk about people in real need, like farmers fucked over by corporate farms and the subsidies the government gives them, or poor people having trouble finding work.

used to cover everyone in the shit (Although they still had a pretty activist vibe)

but in the recent years and with trump elected, they joined the more fuck trump side and i'm just like "you are saying fuck you to the people you used to claim you wanted to help, wtf?"

They're sellout lefty crybabies with no principles, from the sounds of things

I don't agree with a lot of what Trump does

I think his denial of climate change is very startling

Or at least, his cabinet's

well a member or two were members of PETA so... lmao

But he did amazing for industry like he promised

LOL

Peta are fucking horrendous

they are

"we are for animals!"
>owns the largest number of kill shelters
"FREE THE ANIMALS"
>cause mass death of the freed animals or an ecological disaster

Those feels when you save animals by killing them so they can't die

to be fair, I don't blame some of these people because they would hear all this BS from Alarmist who would take the actual studies which would say like "in 100 years, this will happen" and then turn around an say "IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!"

Punk is a bunch of sissies nowadays, for the most part

Angry confused teenagers complaining about what they *think* is happening

to be fair, that has been most of punk for a long time, there is just less of the bands where what they think is happening and what is happening lined up

I'm gonna break the mold, be it core punk or a punk message through metal

If I sound overly ambitious, well, I gotta be, it's music

I wanna be the right-wing, educated equivalent of Rage Against The Machine

find a swede to produce your music

I need a band who aren't SJWs or shitheads first

i'm sure there will be plenty jumping ship soon

Hell, I just need a guitarist, bassist and drummer who can do what they're told

As diva as that sounds

Leftist musicians are quite undisciplined unless they're SJW or genuinely passionate over music, I've found, at least at my age

My last band I was with for a year and you know what we learned over the space of a year?

Half of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica

And then an Iron Maiden song outside of my range

So I couldn't sing it

Over a *year*

I mean I'm excited for all the punk music I can write about this but I am heartbroken and astonished

Thanks for keeping us informed @Atkins

Fuck, brb, need ti check how exactly one apply for a visa...

At least this gives people a good reason to support hard brexit.

It's like this every single time with europe and canada.

Everyone acknowledges it's a disaster. It passes.

Fucking boomers, every fucking time.

I was gonna marry my girlfriend in a few years once we had enough money and we'd finished our degrees, but I genuinely might marry her next year while she's on holiday here and flee to the USA

will they be affected in time to get a hard brexit

Voss is a rat

be sure to avoid ICE, we will try and deport you

The best you can hope for now, is for a big posterchild of justice to come out of this sooner rather than later.

I'm Irish with a British passport, ICE won't look twice at me

Another Count Dankula that the media can only lie about, while average citizens see the truth.

naw, you don't understand, the left won't protect you then

I need freedom god damn it

Babel is so cool as a thing.

It's a shame religion has made it... lame.

Don't worry I won't come to the USA until I can actually contribute to the country

I will not be a leech on a country I admire

Sad part is that most european citizen doesnt give a fuck about EU parliament

As well as laws that is being pushed thru it

"we just wanted to play games, but you fucked with us and now we are here"

Hey so what do you guys think will happen? Will international online companies comply or pull out?

Facebook will comply, and perhaps Google. I don't think smaller companies are going to be able to.

This legislation seems to have been created with the capabilities of the biggest firms in mind, and the idea of bullying smaller firms into surrendering control over content to the biggest firms.

If you run a phpBB forum, you can't possibly identify AND remove copyrighted material within one hour.

if you have a closed forum it cant be reported

So they'll have to get some sort of plugin that outsources the burden of identifying copyrighted material to some massive firm with a huge AI.
