i just remember buying jimmy eat world's "bleed american" album in the summer of 2001 when i was 14 and it feels like it was only a couple years ago, not over two decades ago

went to this a few years ago and it was really good! Just a bunch of 80's bands playing 2-4 songs each.



had to leave during Wang Chung to get the kids to bed, which was unfortunate as they sounded great.

its funny cause before the internet, denmark only really had "the 68 generation" as a distinct cohort, ie people who were young at that time, so basically "boomers", but now everyone knows these goddamn marketing terms. yall are poison

okay well it was the non-specific "you all", as in the "americans" from previous sentence, not any specific american. i apologize for not broadening my 2nd person plural sufficiently

sheesh its much easier to just say "I" (pronounced "ee" but short & with a glottal stop)

no it’s a matter of degree / number of people

it’s also used as emphasis especially if you’re placing yourself on the opposite side of a group consensus

like in this specific situation "y'all are poison" would be directed at the people posting in this thread, having this conversation. "all y'all are poison" would be directed at a nebulous group or systemic structure such as "boomers" or "marketers" or "americans"

there are a lot of american-based english dialects, and this is predominately a feature of what's known as southern american english, which is related to but not at all the same as african-american vernacular english, which itself is based more on a different old southern american english and other influences like creole. a whole lot of nuances between the various dialects that don't really make much sense in a text format unless you're already familiar with the spoken version(s)

thx yall ;)

but good to know that all yall makes it less specific in a positive way. i think the only commonly used modifier we have is super negative: "i/jer" (you plural) -> "i/jer allesammen" (you plural, all you, together), its like when youre getting killed by your heist gang members its "it was all of you who did it"

in my mind, saying "all yall is poison" would be specifically saying you all individually was poison, which obviously you are not
