Folks, the world use to be fully of 30 year olds making music for 15 year olds so giant record companies could sell CDs. Then woke happened.
Before black people made it illegal to be white you could rock out.
Clutching a DVD of “Mystery Men” to my chest and gently sobbing, because I don’t want William H. Macy to see what has become of our beautiful country.
Ok that movie slaps though…
The guitarist wore a hammer and sickle shirt to a live show and it didn’t seem sarcastic
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
all artists are bourgeois
wha
You spotted an actual tankie
What’s a tankie? Is that when you’re a fan of battle tanks?
What the hell is a tankie
Tankie is the term fans of Thomas the Tank Engine use for themselves.
wha x2
dude im a tankie i don’t know what the fuck either of you are talking about
This comment feels like a Poes Law situation… surely this is a bit, right?
Ok fine youre right. All western art is bourgeois
So you’re saying alien ant farm is art
Are you not?
Well slap some duct tape on my bananna!
Whatever who cares
Tough being a RETVRN guy these days if this is the barrel they’re scraping the bottom of.
Reject Harry Styles RETVRN to the Offspring.
Thinking about it, I kind of unironically believe this.
RETVRN to the age of looking like smash mouth
You may not like it, but American Pie style college comedy movies are actually where US culture peaked
You’re right, I don’t like it lol
On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its great intellects.
I’ve always been saying this
Sum 41, Blink 182, American Pie, Van Wilder, Smash Mouth, Super Troopers, all had basically the same vibe
Probably 100 other things I could add to this list
Leftists made it illegal for guys to be dudes
Alien Ant Farm would be canceled today for being white, just white alone. FOLKS
I never listened to them much except that sick smooth criminal video, I was going to find woke lyrics to quote to show how they were always woke but damn, their lyrics are really not great and basically just whining about relationships from what I have skimmed
I always tough they were posers if they needed a cover for their first hit.
To be fair you can’t really control what people will like. When a song off your album gets popular you either play that shit for the rest of your life and collect your money or you don’t.
Nah, having a cover of your first album is still pretty poser.
The Clash had a cover on their first album (Police & Thieves), and if you count the North American release they had a second one (I Fought The Law).
Alien Ant Farm, Orgy, The Ataris…having a cover as your first hit seems like a surefire way to a dead end career.
the year is 2024 and persons of pallor are barred from making music, music videos, or any type of artform.
I remember 2001 well, the entire USA was just one giant music video set
I read somewhere that limp bizkit was the best example of how payola creates popularity, elevating bad music, but i read it so, so long ago. I wish i could find it again cuz i bet id understand it a lot more
Limp bizkit and Nickelback during the early 2000s might have been a first step towards leftist politics for me. They just played those two fucking groups and Nirvana and sublime every hour every day. And obviously the music was trash.
But then I learned about clear channel and starting listening to an indie radio station. Made me start hating how capitalism ruined fucking music.

Wait until sargon hears what wokesters want to do to bankers and other assorted piggies
When these people say “bankers”, they just mean jews, they do not actually care about what capital does to you if the capitalist falls outside of their to gas list
Kinda, but as nazism is socialism of unwise or whatever that quote goes, its kinda easy to push them (not idealogues, but followers) on this. Bill gates, that opium merchant family, dupont, dimon, buffet
Fair.
that opium merchant family
The Sacklers, presumably.
yeah
The 2000s were garbage and this song was a terrible one-hit wonder that was mocked relentlessly when it was released
The 2000’s and the 1990’s are easily some of the most overrated decades. This age of unchecked American triumphalism produced some of the most mindless consumerism, some of the most cringeworthy music, and some of the most dogshit politics.
You need to have amnesia to be nostalgic for this period.
we’re 5 years out from this being the new nostalgia craze
I was a tiny baby child during the 90s and 00s and should be the prime target for 90s nostalgia. Yeah, sure, I like some 90s stuff, retro games and tech etc. But the culture? Fuck no. I would never god back.
The shit I endured from growing up in that era cannot be stressed enough.
Finally someone who remembers the 2000s for what they were. I swear when I talk to people it’s like they have amnesia. If I could depict the 2000s as an image it would be a hot rod flame Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts. That’s what the 2000s we’re like.
don’t forget the bloodthirst!
lmao yeah i distinctly remember being in Music Appreciation in like 2006 and our teacher playing this & the entire class basically going “wow that was shit!” so it is funny seeing the 180 this cover and Alien Ant Farm in general has gotten
I remember everyone liking it but ok.
I do not remember any mockery it was well liked in my circles.
Limp Bizkit was a cia op to make Rage Against the Machine seem lame
Honestly not too far fetched
Sargon is the most deranged fascist on youtube. Didn’t he have that tweet about mexican food being low quality, so that’s why they spice it?
CW: shrimp meat
Europeans having bad opinions about cuisine from central and south america always gets me riled up
The whole “Acting repulsed by foreign foods while actively plundering said foreigners for spices” thing the British had going on with India always reminded me of an old Jane’s Addiction song.
One must eat the other who runs free before him
Put them right into his mouth
While fantasizing the beauty of his movements
A sensation not unlike slapping yourself in the face
I’ve read some aggravating shit from racist-ass Indian ppl online saying “we’re using tomatoes, chilis etc. better than they ever did” like…c’mon India endured this shit from the anglos you don’t gotta pay it forward.
Human history is a deeply vexing thing to be in the middle of. It’s frustrating how people who should damn well know better are just as eager to buy into this shit as other americans.
Multiple millenia of civilizations, and what do we have to show for it? A doomed, perpetual battle to keep humanity from gleefully following through on their worst impulses. Almost enough to make me think just scrubbing the entire human project thing might be a good idea because there just plain doesn’t seem to be a way to fix this shit on a permanent basis
Mexican food is famous the world over for being delicious.
American food is famous for being unhealthy and addictive slop.
British food is famous for being a joke.
Not beating the accusations of being English huh
These people make millions just making content about how white people are royalty among the rest of humanity, and I have to work to pay taxes to child predators.
Fuck.
In a just world these evil shitheads would’ve been put against the wall a long time ago
Bro is literally british
food tastes of something, anything at all
What an assault on the senses!!
He once asked someone to send him CSAM so he could use it to own the libs
CW: shrimp meat
i don’t think shrimp allergies can be transmitted through the screen
I got told to put CW for other kinds of meat, why is shrimp any different? 🤷
for meat? strange
(unironically, and while it doesn’t particularly bother me too much to see images of meat, i still appreciate the cws and i’m sure others do as well. this could be for other reasons than too. i don’t want to start an argument with you, but I just want to say that even if you find it strange, it is something that some of us really appreciate and it makes hexbear a better place. thank you.)Sounds good comrade, a cw doesn’t seem all that troublesome, im okay with it
Anglos talking about “poor quality ingredients,” lol
Mexican food is designated UNESCO world heritage along with only Chinese and French food, its recognized worldwide as culinary excellence.
2001 was not, in fact, the completely different world Sargon implies it is. You could have already had DSL speed internet if you were in a relatively well developed part of the US. The “Terkahjerbs” episode of South Park would air within three years of this song’s release
Cant we just have a society with woke and nu metal covers coexisting?
This is what the world looked like before mass immigration
How did immigration prevent any of this?
Widespread racial and gendered guilt activism
You tell non-whites and women they are innately evil and I know damn well you salivate over legalizing honor killings every day
Bankers had totally screwed the economy for their own gain.
You voted for that because they thought they’d save you from gay marriage.
People were just allowed to be themselves, and they did fun, wholesome things for their own sake.
You people think this is the most immoral thing one can do.
Brits: The Americans of Europe.
You voted for that because they thought they’d save you from gay marriage.
Let’s face it, “bankers” is probably just an antisemitic dogwhistle.
“If you don’t like bankers, why don’t we just nationalize the banks then?”
“Oh… oh no, I meant (((((((bankers))))))))”
“I see…”
One of the guys is the son of an illegal immigrant, so immigration really made this necessary
Actual footage of every country the US bombed to submisison
