Kids these days needing 21 pilots. Back in my day we only had 4, and they were all of them were from Stone Temples.

Why is this so accurate.

local rock stations

yeah, Im not convinced that is still a thing. The vast majority of terrestrial radio stations are owned by large corporations. "Local" is a big stretch there.

deep gravely DJ voice: WAKEUP! You're listening to KPW101.9, the Sleeeeeedge. (sound of hammer breaking through concrete wall) Your one-stop-shop for the latest and greatest, the hardest and fastest, the nonstop torrent of melt-your-face-off ROCK! Rock. rock-rockrockrock. I'm your guide through the River Styx and the Fires of Hell, R-R-R-andy Jay. Let's jump head first into the molten magma of today's grittiest, nastiest, most elite hits. Up next... Bruno Mars!

Q: What even is an "imagine dragon"?
A: Imagine dragon deez nuts across your face.

Meanwhile on Satellite Radio…

“Hey what’s up Liquid Metal, this is Kurt Crozier from Demon Semen. This new song of ours, we wrote as a valentine to our fans, it’s all about how there will always be negative people in your life who try to drag you down, and how you just have to rise above it and learn to love yourself and love each other. Here’s our new single, Crows Feast on Your Bloody Entrails. We hope you like it.”

BUTTROCK FTMFW

Sort of related, reminded me of a coworker that was big into metal expressing how profoundly disappointed he was after hearing of a group named "Savage Garden" and then hearing their music.

I fondly remember a trip to the USA in 2007. I was visiting a friend in Phoenix, only to find out that the KDST channel in GTA SA wasn't entirely parody.

Got those who don't know, GTA had a bunch of parody radio channels, KDST was the rock turned channel where Guns and Roses front man, Axl Rose was the voice actor for the DJ.

Turns out there was a rock station in Phoenix KDKB 'everything that rocks' where Alice Cooper hosted a show a couple hours every evening. If was really surreal driving around in America, for the first time, with a channel on that would occasionally play one of the songs in the GTA playlist.

Anyway I listened to them back home for a while, via internet radio, because we don't have dedicated rock radio. Unfortunately they got sold off... Rip

Up next we have 15 minutes of ads

Like 30 years ago, it's a Clear Channel/Livenation monopoly

Most restaurants will have a minimum melanin requirement to order that, for liability reasons.

"What if I explained the Green text joke as a tweet?"

If they play Linkin Park on the radio all is forgiven... for now

Sklar brothers had a bit about KSHE-95, a very real and ridiculous classic rock station out of St. Louis that is still doing this shit. I love it.

I like twenty one pilots.

Five Finger Death Punch is an emo band

People still listen to commercial radio stations?
