MODERATORS
yeah I am. fuck them.
they were only anti establishment until they got rich off of said establishment, then they were all like ohhh yes establishment yes give me more more establishment yeesssss.
/probably lyrics to their shit songs. idk.
Are you me?! I've hated them since all the Napster shit back in the day and always turned the radio when "Mandatory Metallica" would come on. I'd rather sit in silence.
Then they did everyone a favor and made music after the Black Album that was absolute garbage. Load & Reload we're both Loads of shit... pun intended.
maybe you are me? I agree with all that.
that's where that's from?
Hell yeah baby. I love when current slang is just referencing mid 2000s memes only weirdos on 4chan knew about.
dead internet theory confirmed. we are all me.
Soul fracture theory? Ugh... fine
Wow, I didn't know Mandatory Metallica was a thing, I just thought the local DJ really liked them.
I still rock out to Master of Puppets but I think bad things about James Hetfield afterwards
have you listened to "Torturing James Hetfield" by Chumbawamba? It's pretty amusing!

Is it any of these?
Their post-black-album shittiness predates the Napster idiocy by 4 years. They went to shit before they shot themselves in the foot.
I still think Master of Puppets is a fantastic album though.
was this just a Milwaukee 102.9 (if I remember right) thing or also in other regions??
Basically every rock and roll radio station has it
Ffs is this the reason why I get along with so many folks on the fedi?
This needs to be researched fully.
Did napster directly lead to the fediverse? Brave researchers, begin!
well I'm here because fuck spez and reddit. I was relatively unaware of fediverse and activity pub. ...but somehow totally aware of how slow matrix is going.
I mean me too, I'm talking core though.
The kind of people who would get pissed off about reddit like with the apicalypse are the same kind of people who would get mad about metallica and napster, don't you think?
They did something else too, it's on the edge of my memory, ugh, in the last 5 years, something they said, oh that's going to bother me all day till it randomly pops in my head later (at 3am).
