Closer to pop-metal? Is that a thing? What do you call it if Hair Metal doesn't quite fit? Nerf Metal? I like the sound of that.

First thing I thought of.

Word and I hope it comes out on a physical format because that one and Bo Burnham's Inside are my 2 favorite 2021 releases so far that are digital-only at this point.

Island already made his music more honky-friendly, do we really need to totally remove it from its original context for the white kids who didn’t buy Legend in college?

Now that you mention it, I would...absolutely not give even the tiniest of shits. I don't think Ian would either.

How would you guys react to Ian’s vocals on a Minor Threat record being repurposed with a modern hip hop or EDM backing? I’ve already seen plenty of belly aching about hip hop and R&B artists wearing punk t-shirts and punked-out leather jackets. It seems like some folks are only comfortable with the cultural appropriation going in one direction…
Island already went pretty far to make Bob palatable to a white audience. To completely recontextualize him like this is a step too far, IMO. Aesthetically, it’s a fun listen, but it whitewashes Bob a little to much for my tastes. I grew up with a bunch of white suburban kids who discovered reggae in high school. I remember the general feeling being that reggae was great because it was such “happy” music. So, it seems to me that a lot of people don’t even really understand reggae i it’s original context. To make it straight white music neuters it altogether.

If you are honestly going to argue that The Ramones are anything other than a bunch of white dudes from Queens, then you are living in a parallel universe. If you don’t think that taking a black artist playing what is very much a black music and transforming their work into something more palatable for white punks is 100% issue-free, then I really don’t know what to tell you. It’s not a fuck of a lot different from Bing Crosby covering black artists, except they actually took his voice to do the white washing. Im sure that wasn’t the intention of the person who did it, but Jesus Christ man, if you guys have no clue whatsoever why it might be problematic, then we are more fucked as a country than I even thought we were.
Ian sang on the Pailhead shit. No one took his Minor Threat vocals and stuck them on other music after he was dead.

Thanks for the Bo Burnham review. We are listening right now in the backyard…..you are 100% correct. This is the best album of the year.
