Steam Powered Giraffe, anon? Color scheme matches up, as does what you're complaining about...

Makes me wish I had joined the fandom earlier, honestly.

I have the same username on tumblr if this secret is about SPG, and you ever just want to talk about the music. :)

[(Anonymous)]

I immediately thought of SPG as well. Their Tumblr fandom in general has always been a little annoying but it had gotten to the point where I gave up on going into the tags at all. Too full of histrionics for me.

But then I'm one of those get-off-mah-lawn fuddy-duddies who thinks their humor was funnier when they were busking and the music was better when Jon was still there.

[loracarol]

I've been going to the tags, but recently, yeah...

The block function is my friend. |D

I got into the band after the Jon showed up, so I can't comment on the busking, but I have to say, I like te band both with the Jon and with Hatchworth. |D

OP

[(Anonymous)]

For me it's weird. I don't have a preference for before or after Jon although I was into them for a long time while he was there. Personality wise, Hatchworth is my favorite robot now, but I didn't like MK III. Maybe I like The Jon's harmonies better? The songs are better live but then you have to deal with all the screaming. I'm probably just being bitter because I hate Rabbit's new costume and every time it changes a little I hate it more. Those vertical stripes with the ugly seams on the side and wrinkly ankles need to go. And the in-between dress was better than what she's wearing now. It would just be nice if people didn't get driven out of the fandom for disagreeing with things that shouldn't be important. I had the change my tumblr username because I said Rabbit's make-up was better before when it had uneven lips and cheek vents and the fandom came down on me.

Wait, seriously? What the fuck fandom! D:

I miss the cheek vents, but I like the latest costume... But wow, it's a shame people came down on you!

I'm just not active enough in the fandom, or haven't been lately. So I guess I've missed some of that.

I'm all for people being able to connect to bands on a personal level, when the band members are public about struggles that some of their fans might share, and I do believe it has the power to help people. To use my own high school years as an example, I grew up in such a small town, where there was no one around me who went through what I went through, and at the time I listened to a lot of... oh gosh, a lot of old Beach Boys and REM and Morrisey, and some other stuff. It was not nearly as personal as the SPG fandom gets to be, but I had music that I could listen to and feel like somewhere there was another human being who wrote this song because they felt something like what I felt. It was tremendously helpful, but at the same time, when I talk to people about fandom and about music, there are times when I don't want the focus to be personal, so I get where you're coming from.

Sometimes you just want to talk about the music.
