This band is so full of themselves>nooo we’re making shitty 80s synth pop to protest conformity by conforming!!!!!
incel thread
>>129272972there is this unmistakable preppy smugness about them and a lot of their fans. Like theyre some deep philosophers.
>>129272917>punk band hates society and american consumer culture so much>eventually sells out and makes radio slopA tale old as time
>>129272917Reminder that Mark published a book with straight up 'P lmao
>>129272917I’m a pretty big fan and I have to agree. Their documentary on Netflix was cringe. Not enough focus on the music
Devo only became a thing after the Kent State massacre, which was like the Holocaust for baby boomers. 4 brats died protesting 'Nam and then 4,000,000 brats staged walkouts all over the country to make some gay stand for shit no one cares about. In comes this band of preppy losers who genuinely believe that the government taking out the trash is tantamount to the entire human race going backwards. At the end of the day it's just more Boomer hysteria, making problems out of nothing because they grew up in the literal greatest time to be alive with no conflicts and infinite purchasing power, and they STILL weren't happy.
>>129272917we doing a repeat of the b52s thread?
>>129273341It’s crazy how the kent state situation is to the ice protests now. History repeats itself…
>>129273341Then they sell out and make 80s radio synth pop bullshit since Whip It was such a hit
>>129273389'nam protests were also entirely coordinated by a small group of jews
Jews with psychology degrees larping as hippie stoners, mind you
>>129273350What b52 thread?
>>129273256"DEVO is the fluid in the punk enema" --Gerald Casale
>>129273449Same people responsible for normalizing weed culture btw
>>129273341Welp, you ruined the thread. Hope you're happy.
>>129273481Pointless disruption? Abbie Hoffman would be so proud
>>129273481Kent state was the reason devo formed they said so in the documentary.
>>129273500>GET THE FUCK OFF MY FUCKING STAGE
>>129273400Whip it had a political message it was about encouraging jimmy carter.
>>129273277>'PThis some zoomer algorithm code?
>>129272917WHIP IT, NIGGA
>>129273582It originated on 4chan two decades ago
>>129273341After the Kent State protests they should have sent in more National Guards in, with full blank checks to do what they wanted to the protestors. All universities shod have been closed, and the insane students placed in asylums and given electroshock and insulin shock treatments.
>>129273778Hippies were based ngl

>>129273400Netflix Devo documentary reveals Devo to be bunch of Rigid Entitled Self-consumed Hillbilly 'intellectuals'. No Real message. The REEL Message is- It was all about MONEY $$ & FAME!
>>129273876The whole student movement was a psyop to permanently bougify the american left and crush any possibility of a radical labor resurgence after the purges of the 40s and 50s. Don't @ me
>>129273876Let me guess, you hate boomers but you love hippies for some reason.
>>129273997you forgot to thank me for my attention on this matter
>>129272917they actually formed years before synth pop was a think in like 1973. if anything they were forerunners like Kraftwerk from that early glam/proto-punk/komische music scene which pre-dated punk rock. they're also from Akron which is like 45 minutes from where I live.
>>129273424this is a very bizarre conspiracy theory but I'll allow it>>129273389Kent is just northwest of here. you can't really talk shit about it even to this day because you'll get kicked out of places or jumped. its beyond criticism in Northeast Ohio. That's why I stay home most of the time. Youngstown is a democrat stronghold and I hold views that make someone like Pinochet or Franco look like regular joes.
>>129274479Wow imagine a bunch of Ohio inbred faggots holding you down and sucking your dick because you said something you didn't like. Makes you wish they killed more of them.
>>129274479Chud
>>129272990you're 15
>>129273341goverment killing protesters is a good thing?lol
>>129272917I prefer YMO much more inspiringhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrBAVAaREd8
>>129273350We're just calling out the boomer phonies for being...well...phonies.
>>129275813Holy based
