A call to the 90s kids here. Who here became U2 fans in our childhood?

A lot of the times the talk is between the OG fans from the 80s and of course the people that complain about the 2014 incident, but who here grew up in the 90s and either their parents had and played AB or saw Batman Forever and were blown away by HMTMKMKM or even caught Lemon playing on MTV in the morning when your mom was getting you dressed for preschool. I feel like we have a unique view of the band because we were kids at their peak and saw how powerful and popular the band was up until the half time show. Just checking if anybody else had a similar childhood and is why I will always see U2 as one of the goats.

I am indigenous. Apache, Ute, and Mayan blood. I am looking for guidance.

Having said that I am looking toward my Mayan heritage lately. I am Catholic, I escaped fundamentalism that tried to rub and erase this side of me so I am open to my brethren, despite my other indigenous blood the Mayan I honestly didn’t give much attention to honestly because in America since Mayan are south of the border the current indigenous rights movement doesn’t include Maya in the Yucatán or Central America. Well I am here I want to know more about my heritage. I know Cozumel island a typical destination for tourists is the island of ixchel. Yeah I am doing my best with what I got because like I said in America any tribal affiliation is automatically discarded since it doesn’t fit with typical indigenous American or Canadian natives. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

As much as the band means to all of us here, as you got older did you notice you were able to relate with the band at the same age?

Just turned 36 this past week and although my life is alright I can understand why Roger felt frustrated at this age when the Wall era was going on. It does seem the older I get the songs I thought was mysterious as a kid feels very relevant in my life currently. Just wondering anyone else had these similar experiences as life long Pink Floyd fans.

And congrats to Jack explaining what ‘parking the bus’ means to Olivia Rodrigo.

As amazing as TWICE are as a group why was Dubu never considered a top bias in Korea?

As an American ONCE and finding her one of the most beautiful girls on earth with not only her physical beauty but her amazing sense of humor and faith why wasn’t she never considered top bias material in Korea? She is quite literally a dream girl so why like on SNL Korea during the warm up girl segment she got the least fan reaction and according to TikTok she is biased the least in Korea? So why the discrepancy when she is like literally the ideal idol not only to Korea but international fans as well?

Your favorite collabs?

As a whole group their collab with Kevin Hewick on ‘Haystack’ is brilliant. For Barney I like his collab for 808 state with ‘Spanish Heart,’ Steve going off doing the Other Two with Gillian on their own and of course Hooky’s with Jaz Coleman and Geordie Walker for K division 93. Love ‘Giving up the ghost.’

So when we getting the next ama with Hooky?

Just realized it’s been 4 years since the last one and I think I vaguely recall he would do it again if the sub hit 20k subs. Best time than ever before since he gots the tour, the box set, part 4 of the memoirs, and the induction ceremony coming up. Although I realize he was very interactive with the fans online on instagram and x during the pandemic and usually prefers the in person interaction of the gigs. Anyways just throwing it out there.

Alright it’s time. Who do you think has the worse kpoop?

I imagine Asspa’s poop clears their living quarters. I know with their heavy drinking and its effects on gut health their poops reek and probably makes their living quarters unhabitable without a gas mask. After them I think feetzy especially with Yuna’s farts is confirmation they destroy bathrooms wherever they go. I suspect NMidd are equally as stinky so what other idols do you think them using the facilities can clear a building or block?

What do you think there are the chances U2 would participate in the Joy Division/New Order rock n roll hall of induction ceremony?

In a recent interview Peter Hook has been playing mum on the groups that will be apart of the tribute and induction ceremony this November. But I got a gut feeling U2 will be there in some way, shape, or form.

This is a post to celebrate the unsung heroes for our favorite groups, the producers!

Usually the attention is usually placed on the musicians themselves but a lot of it is the producer that gets the best out of a band and provides the mentorship to push them, id which songs are worth investing in or shelved and even the track listing on the albums themselves. For the rock n roll sphere beginning with the alternative side I would say Martin Hannett is one of those producers with his work with Joy Division, then Mutt Lange for the straight up rock side with his work with Def Leppard, and then Rick Rubin for the heavy metal side with his work with Slayer and Danzig. So what other producers do you think were instrumental in a particular band’s success?

Serious question what was up with the tribalism in rock n roll in the 1980s?

This was before my time and I am referring to what my dad and uncles told me about the 80s which was their coming of age. Why did people that listened to rock/ metal groups like Journey, Ozzy Osborne, Van Halen, Judas Priest, etc. look down on bands that were considered alternative for the 80s like Japan, Duran Duran, New Order, U2 before the Joshua Tree, Simple Minds, etc. as weird, weak, possibly homosexual ( I got that from The Rolling Stones sub when Iggy Pop opened for them in 1981) why that particular view of those bands when in the 90s my dad and uncles embraced Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc. with no problems. So why the hate for alternative in the 1980s exclusively? I am genuinely curious because looking at it from my current view they all seem apart of the same big legendary rock n roll family so why the division back in the day?

Uj/ so does this sub use Reddit AI as well?

Been awhile since I lurked and posted here but I was posting in another circlejerk sub and all my stuff was getting flagged and removed for so called rule breaking. It was stuff I posted before but the ai can’t differentiate from satire and I keep getting dinged for it. Just wondering if this sub safe to jerk to without crap ai ruining my jerking. Rj/ Reddit ai I think maybe Gilmie biased and hate water sheep like me.

Which idols do you think have the worst morning breath?

Something tells me asspa are the queens of morning breath. Especially after members like Karina Smirnoff and Ning squared have had a night of heavy drinking due to them being alkies which includes the other two alkies as well. I also suspect Feetzy and Nmid probably are after them. Feetzy because of their smelly feet and Yuna’s legendary farts and Nmid just looks like they don’t brush their teeth as much as they should.

Alright having seeing why a certain U2 member isn’t better recognized against some classic rock virtuoso let’s keep it grounded and make a better comparison.

The strengths and weaknesses between Bono and Ian Curtis, The Edge against Bernard Sumner, Adam Clayton against Peter Hook, and Larry Mullen Jr against Stephen Morris. Let’s go!

Why the hell is kpoop stealing from older artists?

I mean Asspa originally stealing Metallica, The Rolling Stones, and Cher’s titles for their recent comebacks and now stealing Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade.’ Hearts2Hearts Ian stealing Ian Curtis of Joy Division name for her stage name. ITZY stealing Led Zeppelin’s ‘Rock and Roll’ for their Japanese comeback and ‘Tunnel Vision’ stealing the intro from Judas Priest’s ‘Turbo Lover’ for last year’s comeback and Fifty Fifty doing Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish you were here.’ Will this blatant plagiarism end and that’s not even mentioning God Jihyo kidnapped goth and vampire legend Peter Murphy back in 2022 when TWICE headlines BOC stadium and Pete and Bauhaus were headlining Cruel World that same night. Where is the outrage?!

Why does Pink suck on his fingers with toilet water on them in The Wall?

Is that symbolism of him being a dog from the underrated album and then gets radicalized on the Final Cut and becomes a dog of war on AMLOR?
