I hate how many music artists I've found and loved only to find the people behind the music are complete shitbags. Just to name a few that have been on my mind lately:

  • Dance Gavin Dance
  • Crystal Castles
  • P. Diddy, of course, but nobody knew he was a shitbag until recently.

    Yeah, artists who do terrible things or support bad causes are always a bummer. I really liked the band Haim, who just put out a new record. But I got suspicious to check and sure enough, their whole family is extremely Zionist, they just keep somewhat quiet about it.

    Crystal Castles was a real blow too, and scary\sad how long predators like Ethan or Dr. Luke can thrive in the music industry.

    Aw man. I'm guessing the main thing with DGD from brief reading is Tillian Pearson being a rapist (or just rapey?). I'm not big into DGD but I'm sad to learn the one song in my rotation is one of his. 2013-2024 membership

    I'll tack on that the singer of Highly Suspect (Johnny Stevens) was a low blow to me. I liked his voice and bluesy hard rock sound. I guess he's not rapey-bad, but seems pretty emotionally abusive to women. I found the group while I was in a sad time and the lyrics felt right, but now, in light of his twitter blowups, the lyrics feel so one-sided. He thinks they'd happily drive each other to suicide, she thinks it was just him. Fucked up part to me, the reveal happened before releasing Champagne At Our Funeral
