Seeing the phrase bandied about too often lately. And frequently at stuff that is genuine.

    Ah, remember when people kept calling things “emo” but nobody knew what that meant?

            eurgh. Poisoned both the dating pool and the metal bands. There’s like 2 bands that did good with that kind of metalcore/emo , higher pitched screaming vocals (NB : these are not emo bands), Dillinger Escape Plan and Between the Buried and Me.

              Dillinger is a child of the hardcore scene and side steps emo entirely.

              BTBAM os adult contemporary death metal and isn’t emo sounding at all.

              Dillinger NOR BTBAM sound anything close to emo, which isn’t dead.

                Those emo kids would be mad if they could read over their stretched earlobes

                  Ok. Let me rephrase.

                  BTBAM and Dillinger don’t have vocals that even sound like emo/emocore.

                  That you’ve lumped them in is telling.

                  They’re wildly outside of the genre and sound nothing like it.

                  So your comparison to emo with those bands is just you saying you like those bands and not emo. Which is fine.

      Yeah, otherwise the Butlerian Jihad was for nothing. All those people would’ve died for nothing. And we can’t have that.

        What’s funny is that the god emperor enacted the age of stagnation in order to prepare for the coming big bad. Like we have so many fictional stories of AI being evil yet techbros, who likely know some of the stories, are rushing to create a Russo’s basilisk. Like they think they’ll be spared the “I have no mouth and must scream” treatment.

            GEoD is my favorite. It was the last one my dad owned, he didn’t care for it. So it was the last one I read as a kid.

            I was chuffed when I found out there were two more… even weirder ones.

            Fortunately we’re all allowed to have our own tastes :-)

    I lose 93 brain cells every time I read “AI slop” and 4,224 every time it’s applied to an actual picture. You all are killing me.
