Fucking-A, Dave. At least Kurt never sold out.

I dunno. Man’s getting paid to play music. If he takes that money and does something better with it. That’s still a positive. Don’t be a hipster lol

Live a life of luxury with small portion going to annual donation for PR and tax purposes...

Bootlickers jfc

In case you haven't noticed, EVERY SINGLE FOO FIGHTERS CONCERT SUPPORTED CORPORATE OVERLORDS. The tickets you bought? Corporate Overlord sold 'em to you. The tunes you bought? Corporate Overlord. The venue you went to? Sponsored by a corporate overlord. The Beer you drank at the venue, the fucking merch you bought, hell, even the fucking parking fee you coughed up went to a corporation. You don't get to enjoy music anymore without supporting corporate overlords.

You're being an antagonistic asshole and you know it. And you use the term bootlicker incorrectly.

Bro... I don't go to concerts because fuck rent seeking parasites. Small venues only chief.

I don't pay for corporate music. If I like the artist and they accept payments. I will pay direct.

I am sorry you can't imagine a world without sucking some rich dudes' dicks.

Simping for some celeb on here... I don't even know who these clowns are. They had like one hit wonder in 2000s. Wtf is u so worked up over?

Lemmy skews heavy 30+ so most people here will never understand. But I'm right there with you.

The tickets you bought? Corporate Overlord sold 'em to you.

Never bought them, i can sneak into anything worth being at.

The tunes you bought? Corporate Overlord.

Never bought them other than physical copies direct from the label that only has 5 artists.

The venue you went to? Sponsored by a corporate overlord.

Never went, any "venue" I've been to was come and go.

The Beer you drank at the venue

Didn't buy it, made and brought it.

the fucking merch you bought

Never bought it

hell, even the fucking parking fee you coughed up went to a corporation.

I go to venues through piblic transit so i can get intoxicated

You don't get to enjoy music anymore without supporting corporate overlords.

I've been contributing to small fedi artists just because they're small fedi artists.

You're being an antagonistic asshole and you know it. And you use the term bootlicker incorrectly.

If you even want to talk about you insecurities that you project, I won't offer myself because you already made up your mind about who I am before you finished reading this. Get help. Twat.

Your the one all worked up calling people corporate bootlickers. Pretend all you want that you don't live in a world where you don't support corporations to enjoy music. Pretend all you want that your not doing the same exact shit your complaining about. Your sucking off some rich dude just to for whatever reason avoid giving money to a corporation and instead give it straight to rich dudes pocket. Weirdo is acting like he doesn't listen to his shitty music on YouTube music or Apple or whatever corpo platform. Keep pretending you would even know half the artists you do without corporations allowing them to advertise it on an app you use on your cellphone.

Jfc... You make so many assumptions that's more telling about you than anything.

Protip: selfhosting and Yarr ;)

Protip2: don't give money to gereatirc clowns, give money to up and coming talent who is a actually developing instead of milking their fame

[–] jumjummy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So once a musician becomes popular, you switch to up and coming talent? Major hipster and superiority complex vibes from your posts.

Don’t research every small venue you visit to make sure it’s not part of some giant corporation?

You sound angry about the world.

[–] applepie@kbin.social -4 points 5 months ago

OK boomer, why so hurt tho?

This comment section is a melt down haha

[–] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee -4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Calm down their puddin, ain’t nobody trying to eat your pie.

Go on about yourself with your bootlicking antagonistic bullshit.

Every musician who releases music works with corporate overlords jackhole.

Tell me, what noncorporate music playing device do you listen to your tunes on?

When you buy a beverage at your non-corporate venues, whatcha drinkin’ their pal?

Dave Grohl didn’t steal your rent money & you have fucking clue rock & roll is, Junior.

No puddin’, not in the least. Now you go on & keep playing lil Tommy Toughnuts, I’m sure your mom will call you in for dinner soon

You sure are making a world of difference lambasting internet strangers. Keep after it, everyone will realize how hard you are any day now.

Not he dipshit. Go on now, go on home. You’ve gotten cranky & are in need of an attitude adjustment.

[–] aDuckk@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Imagine if they gave some or all of it to an Amazon union drive. A prank of historical proportions
