Unpopular Opinions

~~jwb~~ · 01-07-2020, 08:00 PM

Phone scammers have become so prevalent that I just fundamentally don't trust anyone with an Indian sounding accent over the phone anymore. Especially if they act excited to talk to me.

I have been looking for a new job and called a temp service I was referred to by a friend and found the number online. The guy on the other end was Indian and thrilled to speak with me.

I hung up and kept it moving.

Very true for the goth costume type, but pretty irrelevant for anyone who actually has taste in music.

Recognizing that most artists don't align with a longstanding brand such as goth in their appearance isn't the same as being anti-fashion.

You can't keep saying this if you want it to retain any sense of irony and not just be a cliche.

Yeah.

There is having an unpopular opinion and there there is just talking bollocks.

You are though. Your love for a certain brand is clearly what has informed this opinion, and there's a bunch of great stuff outside of that brand that you're rejecting for not aligning with it on a fashion level.

there's a ton of music outside of Goth that I like

mostly I'm against this idea that there's something sacred about "loving music" as opposed to the other Arts

You should argue against stances that actually exist though.

Elph is just mad he was born in the wrong generation to be an extra on Bladerunner.

really I just think the anti-fashion junk is very brodude

fashion is legitimate Art

same as lyrics might make or break a song for you

I think the anti-brodude junk is very fashionable

You're all about identity. It's
Peacocking. It's narcissism. It's been pointed out to you many times. Stop trying to make it sound like some sorta punk philosophy.

I got not problem with people who like fashion. It's phony passion that annoys me.
