coops, just cuz your awareness of music doesn't extend past 1950 doesn't make it so
go listen to some butterbeans and susie dogg shhhh mama don't 'llow no easy riders round here

that's what i'm saying, it took him a long time!

and i was agreeing!

totally forks butterbeans and susie dogg, the entire history of bluegrass rock and pop, awesome theory

christ forks my stupid elvis post wasn't saying i think everything STARTED with him, stop being so condescending

25 years of human history proves exactly nothing

hey you go to war w/the info you have

lol, neither of you know who i'm talking to and you're both flexing your pecs to popping

conversely youre embarrassed cause you started this thread

yeah, it really went nowhere huh

lol @ thinking the "autotune the news" shit is offensive in any way other than not being that funny

anyways, good luck working out who's racist and who's not based on their youtube history; i got minorities to oppress

yeah, it really went nowhere huh

Humility is one of your better qualities, eh?

yes, i am the best at humility

sorry im catching up on this thread, did forks really just argue that slavish covers of black records by white bands in an era when black musicians couldnt play in the same clubs as white musicians in some cities is the same thing as white teenagers doing winky these-lyrics-are-so-dumb covers of rap music

haha max that is a little oversimplified there re: the first half of your comparison

y'see, it's all about predefined "roles" that we have placed on everyone in society, and if you step out of that role, then you are probably a racist

like i get where you are going argument wise but uh the motivations for early rock and roll are a little more complicated than you are making them out to be xpost

yeeeeeaaahhhh im not super worried about oversimplifying things in a thread where tumblr whites are being compared to elvis

idk if those are really tumblr whites

well tumblr whites are making a little less money than elvis did i hear so yknow choose your poison i guess

aggh wait why am i on this thread

I don't know what tumblr whites is but it sounds like a dryer setting.

they're more youtube whites I think

Doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?

nope

wait are u really arguing that the intents and motivations of race-record covers in the 1950s are indistinguishable from these siccening internet whites?

*pops pecs in tumblr whites*

im nearing my forget coop its ilxtown threshold but obvs max otm you must be fucking joking people

Guys! Guys! Hey, I'm really the only arbiter of all things white here. I mean, none of you people are even related to me afaIk.

(siccening?)

black/white, all are welcome on the information superhighway!

I fcuking hate you ppl for making me listen to Autotune the News btw.

not even close max - im saying that yer making value judgements re: what kind of racism is more problematic and you seem to be siding on the idiots on youtube are the worst position vs yknow black people not getting paid for shit they wrote so

also OH GOOD A RACISM THREAD so really we can stop now, i just thought your dismissal was a little too pithy and supportive of the idea that white peeps in the 50s were just trying to bring that great R&B to the masses because they cared maaaan.

texts from boonepat

just to be clear my dismissal was not intended to be an accurate reading of race and the music industry in the 1950s

yeah sorry, i just get all aggro about that whole thing because of the creeping prominence of that particular revisionist version nowadays

now I feel bad for distracting from this threads true intent which is to clown forks

Have we delved enough into gender politics yet? Arguments about suburbs? Feel like we could make this the ultimate ilx thread if we try.

or we could just make fun of your username

arent tacos the worst? also athiests are jerks

tbh we already covered display names upthread, but be my guest

sorta feel it is closer to creating an ilx constitution by piecemeal outlining the crimes & misdeeds involved in posting
