It's not just music. It's hard to find guilt free enjoyment in almost anything nowadays. Someone involved in its creation will almost inevitably be a turbo-cunt somehow.

Alternatively it's just made with AI.

I learned about Grimes from her spot in Cyberpunk 2077. Excited at the potential well of new music I looked her up and first result is a divorce with Musk.
Come on, man.

Listening to black metal is a minefield.

Come back to me once you spent a large amount of your time learning guitar thanks to a band, then the band members first want to give a chance to Trump, then begin using AI (all after they wrote an awful triple concept album on "machine music" building out literally 1984).
You can enjoy art without getting caught up on the artist's views and actions

Shortly before kanye's nazi controversy, Spotify was pushing him hard, lol

Dance Gavin Dance and Crystal Castles are two that I've been bummed to find out about relatively recently. :\

Sorta related, but I was trying to remember a song the other day where a guy is proposing to a woman. I eventually realized it was "On My Way" (2012) by Passion Pit. So I decided to go to wikipedia to see if it was based on real events, and it was. But then the story goes wonky.
Michael Angelakos wrote the song to propose to his then girlfriend Kristy Mucci. But while engaged to Mucci, he started also dating Madeleine Dubus. He became a drunk and drug addict and was abusive towards Mucci and Dubus. He still married Mucci in 2013, but they announced they were divorcing in 2015. Later that year, Angelakos announced he was gay. In 2018, he came out as bisexual.
In 2025, he said he took too many shrooms and wrote a long email to Dubus that prompted a wellness check on him. Months later, he married Dubus and she became his manager. That same year, he wrote a series of essays, much of which were about his inability to clean up after himself at home and the problems that causes. He also described "snorting a billion grams of ketamine."
Anyway, it kinda takes the song down a notch for me.

And sometimes it's an old band with their own, unique music style, history of neither bigotry nor pedophilia, and a modern fanbase entirely made up of 14 year olds commenting "this is what real music used to sound like, before people became gay."
1990 heavy metal scene flasbacks
currently on a big years long philosophy kick and yeah. just started reading some Heidegger. Fucker was an unapologetic nazi. Son of a bitch.
I thought this was a win for anon?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is part of what I love about the punk scene, it's all about empowering the downtrodden and telling oppressors to fuck off, and at the same time having some fun while you do so!
