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.
Anon listens to music

At least it’s a divorce
RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Well, for there to be a divorce, there needs to be a wedding. 😬
binarytobis@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
She did siphon away some money from him, which can only be good. Also, she probably hates him more than I do,
BreakerSwitch@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
For those saying “it’s a divorce,” when accused of being a Nazi, Grimes replied she was “happily proud of white culture.”
They had enough in common to get married.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah, this ain’t whatshername that had his kid and went from chud to “dark woke”. Grimes has just remained the same
SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
They divorced, and she’s not a big fan of him now, to be diplomatic about it
BreakerSwitch@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
But she is still a fan of, in her words, “white culture.” They got along for a reason
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I bet she’s a fan of her alimony checks and child support money
GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Same thing… Looked up who voiced the lisping rockstar in game because it seemed so peculiar to me. And its just… her. Really soured me on Lizzy.

Black metal bands : nazi
Classic rock artists : pedophiles

It’s cool they can span multiple genres like that
technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
As a black metal fan… It’s really not that hard to avoid the nazis. There are plenty of anti-fascist sources.
CyanideShotInjection@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I know, it’s a joke, I am a black metal fan myself. I don’t believe every old school rockstars out there were fucking minors either.
But there is a reason that everytime I find a new BM band, my first action is to dig a bit oh them. I don’t usually do that for other genres…
Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
As a black metal fan… I get what you’re saying, but the number of times I turned down music I liked because of the artists is probably in the 3 digits.

Listening to black metal is a minefield.

Alternatively it’s just made with AI.

Or if it’s made with Grok then it’s a Nazi pedo AI.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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).

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!
BreadOven@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Anti-flag and the casualties come to mind off recent examples of the opposite of this.
lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks ago
Really sad to find that out about Anti-Flag. They had such an asexual energy about them that I could relate to. Also they stopped me from becoming a fascist at one of my darkest moments.
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 3 weeks ago
Oh snap i’d missed the sexual assault allegations around anti-flag’s frontman. That’s really disgusting

BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
That those people then funnel money into organizations that are anti-LGBTIA+ as well should be a very good reason to not buy their crap. Initially with Rowling we didn’t know she was such a POS, but now that we do, I no longer consume her media willingly. I wouldn’t even say pirate it, as it still creates an obvious demand for it.

…meh.
BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Money going to people like that is then funneled into culture war bullshit. Rowling as an example is personally help fund many anti-trans pieces of legislation. There is not ethical consumption with Nazis/Reactionaries involved. If you can’t be assed to not pay for media that funds such actions then I personally so little difference between you and the creator.

Something something separate art from the artist something something
Electric_Druid@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Impossible to do in its entirety, the self is always wrapped up in the art it produces to some degree.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 3 weeks ago
The meaning of art is up to the audience, not the creator.
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Crazy idea, I know, but you can just enjoy shit regardless.
For all I know the engineer who designed my car’s breaks was a pedo, but that doesn’t mean I am going to stop driving my car.
cosmos8188@leminal.space 3 weeks ago
Some people are just too focused on others with no sense of observation on themselves.
In terms of the ‘weirdos’ who do this, they seem to be majorly concentrated within Lemmy.global. So it isnt the “whole” of Lemmy but more like a louder portion of it.
Also, these kinds of “controversial” stuff just brings the wrong kind of people - those which twist narratives, and spread hypocrisy. But as I said, I only encountered this in global.
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
i don’t know what that instance even is. i mostly block .ml and a few other instances because that’s where the majority of weirdos come from, and they view everything from a extremist lens and would call you a Nazi for having the wrong type of bowel movement.

Apparently dude was abusive towards other bandmate.
flapperfivethousand@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
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.
LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Meh, in that case I am not too put off. Sure, the guy might have been a dick who couldn’t handle fame, but the song was written with presumably good intentions. Drugs and alcohol ruined countless artists.

And sometimes it’s an old band with pretty unique music style, history of neither bigotry nor pedophilia, and a modern fanbase made up entirely of 14 year listeners commenting “this is what real music used to sound like, before everyone became gay” everywhere. So fun /s

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.
BurtReynolds@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
I’ve come to the conclusion that being an ethical consumer is probably impossible. I will however still try. Perfection is the enemy of progress and all that.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 3 weeks ago
“there is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism”
It’s been a known concept in leftist theory for a long while.

standarduser@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I find local to be a good ethical area. Though that does come with either knowing people if you’re not around stuff. But Im lucky to live in a low cost metro area that has regularly underground music scene for good listening at the direct benefit of the artist
BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
That’s the right mentality to have there. Do what you can where you can.
I ran into an amazing character creator and animator recently and loved what I saw. I shared it with some friends and they pointed out the person is a complete CHUD. I now blacklist their stuff, as simple viewership of their media gives demand for it.
KombatWombat@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If you consider it a binary, sure, perfection is impossible. But I would say trying with real effort qualifies as being an ethical consumer.
psx_crab@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Guilt-free is impossible if you pay for it. Pirating though, you can draw the line yourself. Like for example Harry Porter the movie is a combination of multiple talented people, i don’t attribute all those to a single cunt, and pirating mean i can avoid paying that cunt while also acknowledging the talent that contributed to this whole series(by watching their other works, but i’m also a massive cunt as i pirate everything and not paying streaming service a single cent)
Don’t really like the series anyway, the setting is pretty nice though.
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I really think everyone should pirate books and just donate to authors who need it. You bypass all the publishers and any nonsense connected to it, and if the authors suck you can find that out before eonating. Like if you buy Sanderson books you are tithing to his stupid anti-LGBT church.
BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Perfection is impossible, you’ll never know someone is like that until they get vocal about it. But for actual Nazis and their sympathizers, I do what I can to not give them attention or money. It’s like ethical consumption under capitalism, it’s impossible to be 100%. Just do better when it’s obvious.
umbrella@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
