Single-handedly turned punk into S O Y

a lot of good post-punk bands had a pretty repetitive sound across their discography. IDLES kinda remind me of Big Flame in a way.

>i hate trump, tories, fascists,
why are you lefties so hateful?

sometimes you have to give in to cliche in order to get your point across to people who otherwise wouldn't pay attention.

The point’s getting across alright, it’s just not very good.

This is exactly what you shouldn't do and the reason why everyone's so fucking polarized

this. but it's hard to be subtle when there's no truth in anything you believe

Why do IDLES even have to get their point across, mainstream politicians and news outlets are saying the same thing. They're an extremely uninteresting band.

agreed. Even if their lyrics didn't consist of talking points they would still be dull sonically.

i think the polarization's just a symptom of the 'culture war' or whatever the fuck we're calling the shitshow that's become of modern politics. it's less about making a point, more about drowning out the people that disagree with you and rallying the people that do. do i agree with it wholeheartedly? nah, not really. do i think it has potential to be effective? absolutely. /pol/tards post clown-world shit and tell people to commit suicide all the time. they don't care about making arguments anymore. the 'they go low, we go high' shit is steadily becoming obsolete. the way i see it, if a piece of media pisses somebody off with its viewpoint, more power to it. radicalization is becoming more and more necessary with each punch the other side refuses to pull.

the culture war is only a symptom of social media. We will all become further dissociated and there's no way to reverse it

i think we need to operate as effectively as we can in our given surroundings. the world's fucked but i'm not gonna give up until i'm dead.

keked and saved

I, for one, welcome the divide. Out with the sóy, I say!

Lmao punk has been sóy since the 80s

here comes all the /pol/tards yeah

b o o m e r

>He doesn't like talking point laden uninspired lyrics
>must be a poltard

first album was way better imo
only really like television from the one op posted

I THINK WE'LL BOTH AGREE
THAT VIOLENCE BREEDS VIOLENCE
BUT IN THE END
IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY

yeah, i'm 99% sure Metal Gear Rising predicted the culture war.

nah, low effort s oy memes and epic keks are indicators of /pol/tards

Wow, I can't believe what I'm hearing! Who doesn't love a good kek? This is the land of Kekistan, the home of the indigenous oppressed Kekistani peoples with a rich culture. We welcome immigrants, as long as they immigrate LEGALLY and appreciate HEARTY KEKS! Can I get a MURICA HELL YEAH, fellow pedes?

idiot, young people like trump

little zoomer bitches need a real kick in the pants, elbow grease, and a nice set of worker boots. I'd offer them a job 8 AM sharp tomorrow morning, but I just know they'd waste time smoking weed and playing video games. Sad what the West has been reduced to, fellow man of culture.

no they really don't

THIS. Imagine thinking it was radical and punk to be pro EU lol

no they really do :)

whoa slow down, big guy, i think you're having a soi overdose!

it is because it pisses off bigots, nationalists, old people, conservatives, and christians
that's a big group mate, it triggers a lot of people, idles are actually pretty radical. they piss off a lot of people as you can see itt, they challenge the current political establishment ruling over america and uk, so they seem pretty punk to me

>they challenge the current political establishment
lol

remind me the ruling political parties in these countries
also remind me why if the government were "leftist" these corporations in your picture would have any power in the first place?

they are literally just standard liberals, same views as 95% of the media. shitting on the working class isnt punk

jews. answers all your questions

This desu. It's neoliberal safe space Elizabeth Warren punk. Call me when they make a song about Jeffery Epstein hanging out with Trump and Clinton.

Brexit is yet to actually be done, Democrats have a majority in the House of Representatives and are a close enough minority that they can swing the Senate pretty easily, don't spread this conservative boogeyman. Most old people probably don't know who the fuck Idles are.

if these are your standards Hillary Clinton is the most important punk musician of the 21st century

believe it or not, the internet is not reality. most people in the real world, the one that isn't a bunch of social media shitposts, don't give a fuck about leftist-politics and just want to maintain some semblance of a status-quo so they can sleep in a warm bed at night. you guys act oppressed, but if you admitted that 'uhhh, guys, i kinda think liberals are bad' at a party, most people would probably support you.

I'm in southern california. Everyone is low iq and left leaning

Why do this band have you guys so upset? Several threads a day dedicated to autistically screeching about a single indie group is pretty pathetic.

soiposting is entertaining

Because they're privileged middle class wankers posturing as working class

yeah, that's just cali man. come hang out in the rural midwest for a bit, you'll meet a bunch of cool dudes who still colloquially use the word 'faggot.'

hey man i'd love to. gotta get out of here eventually to survive, 'cause i'm not quiet about my views or my faggot usage

And the best way to teach them a lesson is to constantly bring them up on one of the internet's more popular music discussion boards? Just sounds like seething to me - I bet they hate all that free publicity.

yeah, have fun. i hope you like craft beer.

you sound like a gigantic faggot, kill yourself

>alt-right action force still seething over an SJW band
lmao you dickwads are reacting exactly as they want you to, punk ain't dead if its still pissing the right people off. Your cynicism is totally ineffectual against their angle of collective joy and solidarity

>ten points to griffyndor
YO, KIDS, RACISM IS WACK, YO

>collective joy and solidarity
their political stance is extremely exclusive

>He's made of bones, he's made of blood
>He's made of flesh, he's made of love
>He's made of you, he's made of me
>Unity

Does this sound "exclusive" to you?

s o y

It ain't 1977 anymore grandpa. Punks espousing liberalism is as establishment as you can get.

This nigga with a rocket launcher who shamelessly raps about cumming on sluts is what rebellion looks like in 2019.

Sheeeiiit... forgot my pic.

if they're taking a political stance, they're exclusive. there's no way around it. of course some people won't like it. just because they have lyrics about how "we're all one xD" doesn't mean they aren't specifically against their known opposition. why don't you ever hear lefties talk about how they love trump? he's a human, too, after all. but it's always "fuck trump" and "i hate nazis" and shit. always negative and dehumanizing. the irony is beyond intolerable.

I have no problem with the message but don't you think these lyrics are so on-the-nose that it's cringe-inducing?

tfw brutalism was your aoty
what went wrong bros?

ah... the daily "Idles is soi" thread.
I always take some time to read through all of you seething alt-right fags' posts

Fag is a homophobic slur user. That's not very progressive of you

I support homosexuals. I don't support alt right fags though.

Youre a fucking nazi scum! How dare you use that word!

I still can't quite wrap my had around the fact that
"My blood brother is an immigrant/A beautiful immigrant"
is an actual, unironic lyric. It sounds exactly like a South Park parody.

shut up fag

JANNYYYYYYYYYYYY

based

kek

single handedly? this type of politics has been a part of punk since its begining?

THEN, these ACTUAL BOOMERS brought it back.

Nazi Punks Fuck Off

Idles are bad tho if u want a good gay punk band listen to limp wrist

>You Kids are in a Prison,one that you created and you maintain.One that you build onto year by year and yet never see. It maintains itself through the characters you represent, both the guards and the snitches,monitoring and judging every detail of your fellow inmates,telling tales and spreading gossip. i cannot be a part of that. No walls,no guard,no wire no yard,we are the perfect Prisoner.
>You have created a hierarchy of victimhood, desperately scrambling for status on a ladder of the imaginary oppressed, nice kids from nice homes still trying to fight against evil mummy and daddy, the people who gave you everything, and who you turned your backs on. You live vicariously through a compromised media,themselves terrified of uttering an inappropriate phrase or idea, furiously signalling their own virtues through self censorship and speech regulation.
>Your movies sell you the same stories, with an increasingly complex mixing of archetypes,until there are no real stories of any value left, and still you consume.
>The worst thing is that you see yourselves as rebels of some kind,anti system warriors against the vague “Patriarchy”. You ARE the system,you are the useful idiots that keep the cogs turning,you are the Prison guards, glued to your screens on the Worldwide Panopticon. You are the Beast i despise, and the whole reason i have spent my life seeking answers, immersing myself in the forbidden,the occult,the Taboo, the places where there are still clues to how we got here,and how we can get back out.
>You People set the dogs on me,you threw me under that bus without a moments hesitation,and that shows your true nature, the imaginary friends of the Internet,the curtain twitchers and tittle tattlers,the town hall gossips and Intenational knitting circle. You are not people i would want on my side in any kind of struggle.

None of those people listen to them or have even heard of them. They're literally preaching to the choir. Someone like Taylor Swift who has a huge amount of Republican fans coming out as a liberal is more significant, not that I think that matters either though.

>collective joy
No one who's overly into politics is joyful. I live in a big city and I know a lot of people who are very liberal and constantly bring up politics. They all come across as very anal retentive, anxious and borderline neurotic. I can't imagine myself ever being in such a poor mental state that I could read a news story about how the president tweeted something mean and get genuinely upset over it.

Literally nobody holds this opinion. All the companies on the right are the oppressors. Left is just a bootlicker LARPing as a Nazi.

>collective joy and solidarity
yeah dude class collaboration and obfuscated imperialism are ackthschully epic szechuan sauce pills after all, we just gotta listen and believe so it can work
