Every Josh Homme project sounds like it's named after some unfunny in joke that a bunch of teenage potheads chuckled at for far too long like Beavis & Butthead. I don't think that's too far from the truth, actually.

Also isn't the other guy in EoDM some kind of CHUD?

Homme's a big-time abuser, there's basically no one with anything good to say about him, and it's safe to assume anyone who associates with him willingly is also horrible or at least very stupid (I'll categorize Dave Grohl in #2 for the AIDS denialism poo poo he hopes everyone has forgotten about). I think Homme is a phenomenal musician but he's also a loving bastard.

I know Homme's a huge jerk, it's sort of part of his swagger. I saw QotSA at a huge outdoor venue; there were some fans in the mosh pit bouncing around a beach ball. In between songs he said "throw that fuckin' ball up here" and popped it with a pocket knife. That's small potatoes, but it also made me remember that time he kicked a female photographer in the face. I didn't know about the abuse stuff though, that's a bummer. Never learn about your idols.

I was talking more about Hughes, the other guy in EoDM, and yeah it turns out he's a huge CHUD. He railed against the March For Our Lives (anti-gun violence demonstrations in the wake of the Parkland mass shooting), is a Trump supporter, and I think has said some questionable stuff about Muslims. Not sure if he was always like that, or surviving the Bataclan massacre broke his brain.

Not sure if he was always like that, or surviving the Bataclan massacre broke his brain.

I saw QOTSA (and I still love the band) at a big festival here in Madrid, and Homme kept insisting for the people in the pit to bring the vip area barricades down and get in. No one wanted to do it because a) the vip seats weren't any better than the general pit and b) it's Spain so only a third of people really understood what he was saying. Dude got massively pissy and I'm pretty sure they cut their set short after it. gently caress Hommes (I'll go see them again this year because I'm a loving idiot)

Hughes is a big chud but I almost understand (which is not excusing) them going stupid after the Bataclam. Being a chud and a drug abuser makes me think he probably hasn't done any therapy and experiencing something like that will gently caress you up good. To be fair to them, I went to a show a bit against my better judgement and there were just talking about loving one another and having a good time, 0 chud poo poo. It was a good show, too.

Grohl strikes me as being a boomer that ignores anything that doesn't affect him directly or is inside his music bubble. Besides their weird AIDS thing I don't think I've ever seen Foo Fighters talk about any political topic.

Not really met Jesse but I've worked with their crew and yeah there's still something not quite right there. Seems he was fairly dirtbag libertarian (all the guns and drugs but no taxes type) till Bataclan and then went fruit loops off the deep end for a while. By all accounts he seems to be dealing with it better these days now he's not drinking. The other band members are lovely.

I don't know if you listen to many podcasts but Manscaped's entire marketing strategy is to be as explicit about what their product is for as possible. They will literally have the hosts say "shave your ball pubes" and whatnot. This is surprisingly tactful for them.

Yeah but even before that it meant "actual paedos setting children up for abuse" so it's still one to be a little careful around. I'd have though the context (an advert for pube maintenace equipment) would have been clear enough to escape that, but the tweet's deleted so what do I know?

I think what people mean is that, while groom has meant attend to hygiene and appearance, or prepare for sexual exploitation, for years, recently people on the far right have expanded it so much they use it to refer to anything they don't like, much like woke. Expanding the meaning so aggressively muddies the water to the point that even an add for hair clippers seems questionable.

And considering how many figures on the far right turn out to actually be sexual groomers, this is at least partly intentional

To be fair, I think the abuse stuff is technically only "alleged" at this point, in a domestic lawsuit brought by his ex-wife which doesn't seem to have been definitively resolved. That being said, based on his past behavior I can definitely imagine him losing his temper and being too rough with people which could potentially rise to the level of abuse. He obviously has substance issues to put it mildly (I mean, apparently he was medically "dead" at one point back around 2012) and he doesn't seem willing to do what needs to be done to really deal with them. He seems to think he's too good to get sober. He did apologize pretty genuinely about kicking that photographer and I think it was in fact an accident, but mostly because he also appeared to be sloppy drunk, and it takes more than tearful apologies to actually fix that.
