Why do people pretend to care so much about the artists personal lives?
How can Brand New be "cancelled" while every other artist on the warped tour scene were doing the same stuff? Also, why cancel Brand New and still listen to David Bowie, Beatles and most if not all dadrock bands since we care so much about artists personal lifes?
You know what? I think there's something shady going on. I mean, main reason for cancels is that organizers are afraid of something. But what are they afraid of literally? Of an epic evil sjw army destroying everything, murdering everyone? That's just nonsense, this kind of things only exists on /pol/ and every article written in that tone always gets a huge backlash.
Jason Bennett
they are afraid of sjws, their main audience, not showing up to the concerts how did this simple answer go over your head?
Jaxson Long
Actually I'm sure any Brand New concert would be sold out pretty soon BUT I think that promoters and the band itself is probably afraid of some bad reactions by the media, some girls protesting and shit like that.
Anyway I think it's very weird how they got so much shit for so little. I mean, how can you force someone to watch you on Skype or send you nudes? Also no one is a "kid" when you're 15. It's at least disproportional what happened.
Maybe Jesse is just tired though he still writes stuff in his house.
Josiah Collins
>how can you force someone to watch you on Skype or send you nudes? everything is possible.
I dont go out searching about their personal lives but if i happen to overhear them saying srupid shit it can make me just not be able to enjoy their music anymore. Especially if its about politics.
Christopher Smith
You could've used your ears to figure out Brand New sucks. I was around the pop punk and emo scene at the time, and they're mostly talentless faggots and they all show tendencies towards sexual predation.
Landon Walker
Faggot. Brand New is probably the only good band coming out of that scene. If you think their last 3 albums are talentless then let me see what you have done in your life.
"Sexual predation" lmao, every teenage whore at the time dreamed about sleeping with band members, only fags come up with this sexual predation bullshit.
Matthew Fisher
who knew jesse was so based?

People care about what an artist does because they resonate with the music so much they don’t expect the artist to be a piece of shit. But anyone given enough time and resources can and will be a bad person or have done at least 1 bad thing, we’re flawed but this means we’re human who are allowed to make mistakes. The problem with celebrities making mistakes or acting human is that people idolize celebrities and musicians to an unhealthy level where they will put them on a pedestal above their ownself, they will assume all sorts of things about them and when they don’t fall in line to that delusion the impact of what they’ve is that much harder to handle because it reminds them that they’re not perfect beings full of wisdom and insight.
Also it depends on the audience of the celebrity, rock artists, specifically indie and it’s subgroups care a lot about activism so they’d be more vocal about this than a rap audience who literally let rapists and women beaters go by and have careers

>teenagers want to have sex >this gives grown adults permission to take advantage of them You’re fucking disgusting
Bentley Thomas
What a blessed post.
Eli Murphy
>take advantage I had sex with a minor once and nothing of this means anything in real life. No one 15 or more is a child or don't know what they're doing when it comes to sex.
Nathaniel Miller
Yeah, you're the talentless faggot rapist I'm talking about. And Brand New's lyrics are long winded and clunky they have two guitarists doing what one should have no problem with. You guys are knuckle-dragging morons.
Lucas Morgan
>rapist
You're delusional.
Bentley Allen
>"They have two guitarists doing what one should have no problem with" >Le quality of music is determined by how many people are playing le instruments
David Bailey
Yeah that’s a yikes and a oof for me. Fucking grody pedo.
Evan Ortiz
>15+ >pedo
Ok buddy
Cooper Perez
i generally feel uncomfortable listening to any artists who abused people, especially underage people. i can sometimes get around it if they’re already dead and listening to them won’t lead to them getting streaming money or anything though. still hard for me to listen to bowie though
Ethan Jackson
Yeah you fucked a kid tho. You should be stoned imho. Or at least charged as the predator you are.
Blake Reed
Don't you think we probably won't have many artists to listen to if we knew more about their privates lives?
I'm not asking in a mean way, I'm just trying to understand more your point. Aren't we all flawed? How can we normal dudes, with all of our regrets already, expect artists to be role models or not fuck up sometimes?
Sebastian Scott
I bet you're a role model to everyone.
Jaxon Adams
i dont follow brand new much but i thought it blew over due to it being obviously bullshit (some girl who lied about being underage when he showed his dick on skype or something)
Daniel Reyes
Because people dont understand that creating anything of value usually comes from a place of suffering or perversion. The fans dont understand it because maybe .1% of them have any comprehension of the process of creation.
Ayden Sanders
I don’t fuck kids so in that respect yeah sure
Aaron Brooks
You arent more important than nature. I hate to break it to you but nature decides when humans are ready for sex. Not you. You are not a child if you can have a child of your own. Scientifically, thats literally what adulthood means.
Jason Phillips
>fucked a kid >15yo based retard
Sebastian Howard
I believe it's true because this behavior is consistent with literally every person I know in his extended network.
Grayson Anderson
Holy shit so he actually did nothing wrong I'm mad as shit at this cunt. I assumed the situation was blown out of proportion but that he probably did show his dick to a 15 year old at some point but it seems like he's genuinely done nothing wrong.
Logan Myers
>pretend Not that I'm one of those people but why would you think they're pretending?
Adam Davis
i luv brand new wow
Jason Lewis
Because they don't sistematically do it. They do care when the media enforces it. Everybody was listening to MJ before the documentary. Everybody knows the dudes from Fall Out Boy did worst than Jesse from Brand New yet no one talks shit about it, no dadrock band is "cancelled", everybody is listening to Bowie, everybody loves hip hop artists who've done a lot more shit stuff yet no one is cancelled (except for Kanye because he likes Trump).
If people really cared they would have probably given up on listening to music at this point.
Jeremiah Green
>it’s ok cuz it’s natural o i am laffin
Colton Hall
It's this, really. Nobody cares about when other musicians do it because their audiences are normies who don't give a shit, meanwhile brand new fans are mostly nu-male feminists and tumblrinas.
Landon Cruz
Yeah, I was part of it too, I went to shows as a teen. Brand New sucked dude, them and and their fans are laughable as hell.
David Watson
Ok it's your opinion. I think they're the best out of this scene (not that is hard).
Dominic Richardson
Best would mean more boring,and one good song, which we know all what that is.
Jack Hernandez
I like how the scene sold everybody out for Stitches and Lil B.
Justin Wood
You honestly don't like anything from TDAG, Daisy or Science Fiction?
I dislike the first album, I like Deja but it hasn't aged that well but those 3 are very good in my opinion.
Justin Cook
Ok has nothing to do with it. You, me, and literally everyone else in the world have zero say in when a human is sexually mature.
Noah Rivera
lmao Yea Forums will shit on literally any female artist they perceive as having even the slightest traces of "sluttiness" (i.e. straightforward lyrics about love/sex/emotions etc) but die valiantly on the pedo defener hill cuz some dweeby manchild's music gave them the feels
