i came across a group of teens working out at a local park and they had a bluetooth speaker and they were playing 80's metallica and slayer songs and singing along and they knew all the words. i thought it was cool

i dont get why people think this when there are so many new bands forming all the time

like if you want to know about good new music, get the bandcamp app and dive into the genre categories and you will find all kinds of amazing new music by all kinds of cool people, young and old, in every style you can possible think of and many you didn't know existed, and there are new groups, projects, albums etc coming out all the time.

obviously covid put a damper on getting together to make music for a while, and live music is just barely starting to come back, but there are definitely still tons of young people tooling around on instruments together these days. there are of course a lot more bedroom producers too but thats not stopping bands from being a thing at all

Metallica and Slayers of the era being awesome, aside. It has good music to work out with, and keep a count. I kinda like Amon Amarth for working out, for the slow counts.

You should of intruded and said you were still a cool guy.


here's some weird youngsters on tiktok

it's like checking your pulse. to show that you're being honest? Or something, similar?

The Tab - TikTok posted:


What does the arm gesture on TikTok mean?
The TikTok arm gesture is done alongside making a revelation to viewers, and so therefore suggests that someone is telling the absolute truth. Yes, it’s stupid. Yes, it seems to be completely nonsensical. Yes, I can’t stop doing it.

Why the gesture mimics checking your pulse after being honest with your viewers? That really is down to whichever English teacher-like analysis you want to apply to it, but it’s been suggested it could be because your heart rate would be faster by telling someone personal details about your life.

The gesture, therefore, suggests that you’re being completely honest with your followers, telling them something intensely personal. Obviously, people on the internet drag every bit of humour down to a subhuman level of irony eventually, and people are already accompanying it with that lip biting, eye squinting face (á la Josh Morris). If the above explanation didn’t cut it, take a look at the following examples and you’ll get the picture:

Moon someone at the wrong time or place and you can catch public indecency charges and to top it off some states will even make you register as a sex offender for mooning. Happened to my cousin.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Pretty much everything that was hilarious in a 80s fratboy movie is considered a sex offense now.

Mooning is one of those things that is so objectively sexual harassment that it is a miracle it was ever considered a hilarious fun time.

GOOSE FUCKER
There were two incidences where someone in my high school friend group mooned someone and it's cuz equally dirtbag girls mooned us first. Once was in a Dunkin Donuts parking lot. The other time was in a Walmart parking lot. They were fun times.


That said, I worked with a graphic designer who almost became a sex offender because she peed in a park at night across the street from a school. That says more about how hosed up pigs and our stupid laws are. Probably cost her 5 grand to rectify. gently caress the man.

I've never mooned anyone, but "look at my rear end, it's where I poop from" does not exactly scream sexual harassment to me? It can certainly be harassment, but I'd class it closer to, I don't know, picking your nose to gross someone out.

Yeah, it's not mooning if they can see your rear end in a top hat, that's giving someone a 'redeye'.

Sensible enough. Still, there is something that makes showing someone your buttocks ruder than showing them your shoulderblades, and it kind of feels like it's the butt/poop connection, even if that's just guilt by association.

Also, I'm probably overthinking this.

It was a sex offense then too, it was just easier to get away with.

Oh yeah, I wasn't trying to be all like "Boys will be boys!". I just happened to know someone that actually got in trouble for it.

It may not be sexual harassment by intention but you're still technically exposing yourself and the person you're doing it to might have a different opinion. My take on it is a universal "Don't do that." because it can generally be an "I don't want to see that." for the other person.
