It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Really ironic that Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are Zionists since OK Computer was influenced by writers like Chomsky.

I also hate They Might be Giants. I don't think they did anything wrong, I just think they're the progeny of nerdy band kids being quirky and writing the Juno soundtrack. Radio head taught band geeks they could make pretentious and boring rock music.

I'm EDM neutral outside of goth shit, most is too outside of my range of taste to have any meaningful thoughts.

I sound like Robert Smith when I sing and it's hard to not do a fake British accent while doing so

Oh yeah I mostly love TMBG because of how fun they are to sing and how annoyed people get when you do. They're so nerdy and that's fun to me. I chose to lean into my nerdiness rather than shy away from it decades ago

You can hate TMBG if you want but if they’re not politically bad then, like, nobody cares, it’s kind of just your opinion. And like with all music, a really subjective on at that.

They have a fun song called Your Racist Friend which is about not tolerating your friend's racist friends, so that would at least suggest that they're OK

Noticing you seem very effected by fanbases and particularly which highschool cliques were into something between this and the Death Note thing. Personally i would advise against that type of thinking.

I've seen some death note and have overheard some amount of radiohead. I am a huge film and tb nerd and an even huge music nerd, Radiohead named themselves after a kinds bad Talking heads song for example. Death Note isn't gonna be my thing cause I'm not very anime and what I do enjoy there is a bit eclectic and odd, my favorite animes are Nichijou, Kino' Journey, Paranoia Agent, the first 3 seasons of Digimon and Medabots. As far as music goes, I've been deep into diy music since my early teens and still trade tapes etc. I know my weird music real well and radiohead don't do much for me, also when you're into music you go to shows and what is or was big affects who's around, radiohead made for worse crowds.

Paranoia Agent, the first 3 seasons of Digimon and Medabots

Ok all else asside, based taste on these three.

Are you not Nichijou pilled? It's uhhhhh...best description is Azumanaga meets Monty Python, Kino's Journey is like a awrene version of Twilight Zone with an androgynous lead who has like 53 guns at all times and a talking motorcycle. But mostly get on Nichijou, it's got the best vibe of anything, I guarantee you will become happy when watching. It's a positive absurdist comedy sketch shown with continuity? Like if Camus wasn't a bummer?
