Me neither, but I like rock music because I like racket, not because I look up to rock stars for moral leadership.

If you think you've banished all the sex creeps from your playlist you're most certainly very, very wrong.

I dropped RHCP because they suck, mocking Kiedis's walking PSA nature is just a bonus.

Fair enough.

I get why people don't like RHCP, I really do, and honestly I'm not even that big of a fan, I think they've made one great album, one pretty good album that suffers from utter sh*t production and a few ok albums, and I don't f*ck with anything they've done lately.

I think Frusciante's solo stuff is much more consistent and interesting and the fact he still bothers with RHCP when their shtick has run it's course is a waste of his time and talent in my opinion.

Hate RHCP all you want, what gets under my grill is when people try to pretend it's a moral thing, that they're taking a stance against their behavior, but then they still listen to Iggy Pop or Mark Kozelek or Michael Gira or some other abuser who has the hipster seal of approval.

People are very selective about the sh*t they are willing to brush aside when it's an artist they like, and I am definitely guilty of it myself. So I can't be too mad about what other people still choose to listen to when I feel guilty about what I listen to all the freaking time.

Thing is if i were to even attempt abstaining from all the art I love that's come from people who turned out to be pretty bad I would be incredibly miserable, and I think it's safe to say that would go for everybody else unless they really don't care enough about art to develop any attachment to it.

And no RHCP don't make high art or anything, I just think they were at one time a really solid pop/rock band that eventually ran out of ideas and should have called it quits at least 20 years ago, much like Green Day they were a band that was overhyped, overexposed and overstayed their welcome which lead to the backlash they face now, but that backlash has gone from perfectly understandable to comically over the top and downright toxic, where people actually get offended if you like that band and treat it as some great moral or intellectual failing, it's completely bonkers.

It's music people, it's literally noise that we subjectively interpret to mean something, don't get so wound up over things you don't like being popular. I did for a long time and it took me way too long to grow up.

Only one of those things is bad.

You should take it up with the people who are doing that.

As for people being offended at RHCP fandom, besides it being an overt intellectual failing someone as wise as myself would never commit, in my case it's usually because that crowd insists on how great their musicianship is like it's some objective thing I'm supposed to respect. For me, good musicianship is when you can make good music, not motor skill displays.

I do agree that it's better to focus on what you enjoy though, which is why I'm making jokes about Kiedis's moustache's opinion on the age of consent instead of giving in depth musical analysis.

As someone who hates Dream Theater with all her being I can agree to that and yes that attitude is incredibly annoying.

Better than any RHCP song.

I'm most definitely not clicking on that.

You posted a link, not a video.
