@rarity I'm game
-
@northernnarwhal real talk once I buy a guitar we can do it and it'll be rad
-
@rarity I've already got a bass
-
@rarity I'd be down to contribute very poorly recorded drums
-
@northernnarwhal real metal isn't good unless it's crap
-
@rarity We should just buy some corpse paint and move to an abandoned forest in Norway to record our album
-
@northernnarwhal we could make black doom and be even more trve
-
@rarity We should probably also burn down a church for cvlt cred
-
@northernnarwhal nah cuz then we'd just be considered posers
-
@rarity Oh, that's a relief. I was worried after that the next logical progression would be one of us having to die and be featured on the cover of a bootleg live album.
-
@northernnarwhal Can I be the one that dies and you be the one who goes to prison? I don't want to become a white supremacist
-
@rarity Neither do I, though the prospect of making minimalistic dark ambient music seems cool.
-
@northernnarwhal really good minimalistic dark ambient
-
@rarity Remember, if it ain't Burzum, it's bullpucky!
-
@northernnarwhal well said my good sir *tip*
-
@rarity Please appreciate my Cal Chuchesta memes Nico
-
@northernnarwhal Dankthony Memetano has a lot of nerve calling great music like Yung Lean "a forced meme" while forcing his FrankerZty meme down our throats tbh
-
@rarity You do realize in the description of literally all of his reviews he says "Y'ALL KNOW THIS IS JUST MY OPINION, RIGHT?" so it's not like you have to agree with his opinion on any artist.
As for Yung Lean, he did initially refuse to do a serious review of him around the time Unknown Death 2002 came out because Yung Lean kind of built his aesthetic around things Fantano considered memey, but when he saw the reception that got and people gave him crap for it he did an actual review of him when Unknown Memory came out.
As for the jokes on his channel, they're really just there to add personality to his reviews. -
@northernnarwhal Isn't that true for all reviews ? I mean, I could go read a review by the westborough baptist church about pokemon... At least you know the colour of the bias up front. And that is my point. All reviews have/carry bias.
-
@critialcloudkicker All reviews do carry bias, Fantano just puts in that disclaimer as a reminder to people who might believe otherwise.
-
@northernnarwhal Soo. Isn't it up to his followers to call him out in that if they deem it bad ? They are not though ( IFAIK ) so they must be cool with it ?
-
@critialcloudkicker The issue here is that he initially refused to review an artist because he considered the artist a meme, and therefore his first review of the artist was responding to a meme with a meme. Many of his fans felt he was being sort of reductive and unfair to the artist, and so he acknowledged that and did a genuine review of the artist's next big project. This isn't about people getting upset because he dislikes something but rather why he disliked it (initially, anyway) though he's since done an actual review where he looked at the album the way he'd look at any other album.

@northernnarwhal childish reigns ?
-
@critialcloudkicker Not really, no.
