>musical genius in the 90s nyc underground scene with the voice of an angel starts making experimental music combining different genres seamlessly>controversial lyrics but no one really cares, that's the appeal>start getting popular outside of your scene, tour with big names>continue to make music that catches the ears of many and pisses stupid people off>your bassist marries gerard way>shit slows down since you're all getting older>a few years later drop a fire solo album featuring serj tankian, gerard way, and grimes>outed as a pedophileis it that hard not to touch kids
literally who?
>>131094585The stupidest thing is that we're never gonna know if the allegations were true since the whole thing got settled out of court.
>>131094705mindless self indulgence, never heard?
>>131094585>a few years later drop a fire solo album featuring serj tankian, gerard way, and grimes>>outed as a pedophileThese two things are related.Above a certain level kid touching is required for continued access.Probably why Akon suddenly disappeared.
Nobody says this but they really were proto hyperpop. Their older stuff aged really well in that regard. Definitely resonates with a lot of Gen-Z. I’ve outgrown music that is this erratic though. I don’t have the energy for shit like this anymore lolhttps://youtu.be/A32aX6pGmLs?si=HCbCRbicA_8YpBm4
>>131094585He never touched kids. The shit people will say about a man nowadays is insane.
>>131095187How does one excuse this shit though? Fucking wild ass disgusting songhttps://youtu.be/vEb_260dkgc?si=_ZEeBD8xvuJssgpZ
>>131095267Late 90's / early 00's were a time of peak edge, and MSI were one of the edgiest
>>131095267It's a song bro...
>>131095343He used to make “jokes” about fucking minors at live shows, and has kissed hundreds of them at said shows
>>131095358Yeah if you joke about something you totally did said thing.
>>131095408Pedo apologist never heard of hiding in plain sight. The Tight album cover is also another giveaway. Those allegations against him are oddly specific bro
>>131095434Your hysterical, nothing has ever been proven. It's so easy for people to just make stuff up. You are a terrorist. This is true because I say so
>>131094585Case was dismissedAlso he literally has an early song with the lyrics "5 year old panty shot"If he had serious skeletons they would have come outMindless Self Indulgence is awesome and they should be a canonical band
>>131095075but hyperpop is fucking amelodic garbage whereas Jimmy's songs are spectacular tuneshe has no actual successors, one of a kind
>>131094761only the earliest of zoomers would have any idea who he is outside of drama farmers since the fanbase doesn't shill him nearly enough for awareness to have spread beyond those conscious for the 2000s
>>131095923Nah, dude, most of their fans are middle schoolers and high schoolers. It’s a generational phase the weird kids go through
>>131095267at its best its total satire making fun of actual pedophiles like little girls by oingo boingo, at its worst its a self-report. i think it's a mix of both.
>>131096057Another day, another /mu/ poster who never leaves his basement confidently proclaiming something wildly-off-base about a thing he doesn't like.
>>131099609anon is kind of right i got into them when i was 13 and weird and lots of teens are doing it as of now too, they just appeal very heavily to weird teenagers. not to say that adults don't like them too, a decent portion of their fanbase were and are adults. the msi subreddit is like rampant with teenagers though.
