Do you separate the art from the artists? If no, are you strict about it or do you cherry-pick?

  • I am a big fan of black metal so avoiding closeted white supremacists behind some of those bands has become tedious. If I find out that they are neo-nazis without even looking for that info, then I usually stop listening to them, but I am not systematically researching on them. But yes there is one cherry picking I do and it is regarding Burzum because the guy had such a huge impact on the scene that it's like ignoring Led Zep work (which would not be far fetched of a comparison since it is known that Jimmy Page was kind of a pedo).

    But there are some artists that I can't get over what they did and avoid their art all together. I was a big fan of Kevin Spacey ; Se7en is one of my favourite movies ever. Now I feel sick when I see his face. I was also a big fan of Daughters but I can't listen to their stuff anymore after learning what their singer did.

    • What's the most absurd thing you've seen someone refuse to do because of toxic masculinity?

    Jump

  • Yeah well let's be honest a lot of toxic masculinity traits are deeply rooted in homophobia and sexism...

    • Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?

  • Basically, Jon Nödtveidt, the lead guitarist/singer, was convicted for the killing of a gay algerian man. Two years after his release from prison he killed himself in a satanic ritual.

  • I know what you mean. Personnally I prefer Storm of the Light's Bane, but I feel less bad about listening to Dissection cause the guy's dead so not like he gets any money from me lol

  • I am a huge fan of black metal so often I have to filter out the ones with white supremacists members. But one I can't help myself going back to is Burzum. What he brought to the atmospherical BM scene is huge and I hate that I love his early records so much...

    • Do you have a preferred artist or band that isn't widely recognized in the mainstream?

    Jump

  • I mean they were nominated four times at the grammy's of which they won one, can't get more recognized by the mainstream than that...
