It's OK, babe. Though my favourite band aren't outward with it, they've done enough dodgy stuff (abusing & cheating on ex-girlfriends, making "humorous' TikToks using abuse victims testimony, invalidating male victims because "he seemed fine around their abuser," talking out of their asses about people with mental illness) that though I still like their music, I don't think I would want to have them in my life personally.

I had an IRL breakdown when a musician I loved SA'd someone. He also had secret blog where he confessed to assaulting a drunk man and being interested in other illegal things that I discovered by complete accident. He was an indie-ish artist too, so we were mutuals for awhile too despite not being close or friends. After that I chose to not have parasocial heroes anymore. I listen to music for the sound and lyrics, not the people who make it. I can enjoy someone's public persona and their work, and if they're nice that's a bonus point, but nothing more.

I went through this in 2020 with a band I'd seen 5 times since I was a teenager. It sucked.

[(Anonymous)]

I might still enjoy music by someone who's say, Republican, but I don't give them my money. (As long as their music isn't political.)

[(Anonymous)]

Hanson? Mumford and Sons?

No one would blame you if it was Lost Prophets, but that was worse than reactionary politics.

[greghousesgf]

yeah, I wanna know what band this is too

[(Anonymous)]

What happened w Mumford and sons?

[(Anonymous)]

One of the members had to leave because he was praising right wing assholes. He has since become a conservative podcaster as all these losers do.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

None of the above, but I still don't want to specify.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT - I'm curious as to why? Is it a small fandom?

[(Anonymous)]

wtf happened with Hanson?

[(Anonymous)]

Space is another band who went this way, very frustrating. And briefly the lead singer of Smash Mouth but he turned out to have alcoholism-induced encephalopathy so that's kind of a different issue.

I felt similarly with Jewel and her MAHA bullshit. Didn't see it coming; she seemed okay in interviews even five or so years ago. But what I didn't know is that she'd gotten into the antivaxxer movement, and well, the pipeline to the alt right is real. (Some might say "she also turned country so that was a clue" but I don't automatically assume politics from genre.) I hoped she would learn her lesson after the backlash she received after performing at Inauguration Day for Ser Brain Worm, but apparently she showed up to Bezos' wedding so I guess she decided her "north star" was in hell indefinitely.

I've got her albums in a bag somewhere, just debating whether I want to pawn/trade them in somewhere or just toss them in the garbage.

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh yeah, Jewel hurt. Like, teen me got a lot of feelings out listening to her music back in the day, but the crunchy to alt right pipeline is real...

I definitely don't associate all country music with the right, but then, the country artists I've listened to most have been Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and the Chicks, so... yeah, that alone would not have been a red flag to me!

[(Anonymous)]

It's honestly depressing. It often ruins the music or whatever for me, when it turns out someone is an asshole like that.

[(Anonymous)]

Aww damn not Jewel

[(Anonymous)]

Ooof. Sorry for your loss, OP.

I was very into Marilyn Manson as a teenager and I always regarded the fascist imagery as something in the tradition of Pink Floyd’s The Wall.

Finding out that not only was he genuinely into some Nazi shit, but also an incredibly abusive partner… it definitely depressed me for a while. I think it took years before I listened to the music again.

+1

[(Anonymous)]

I definitely know where you're coming from

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I was heavily into them as a teen. This was one of the first band I've seen live, so it sucks

[(Anonymous)]

I think if Billie and Tre ever got truly sick of Mike's alt-right leanings and his wife's tradwife conservative bullshit that would be the end for Green Day.

[(Anonymous)]

Anon who posted stuff about her scene that's full of nz imagery months ago

Maybe it's the kind of stuff I should see coming but whenever it turns out some of them ACTUALLY support that I feel like that and it's like... you're kidding right? I mean you have fans whom the nzs would want dead so you're definitely kidding. Right - and then it turns out they're not kidding and my perfectly logical brain is like whattttttttt.

[(Anonymous)]

Not a great abbreviation because I thought you meant New Zealand.

[(Anonymous)]

Just wanted to say that the design of your secret is striking!

Also, bummer about the band.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm so sorry, OP.
