So I'm a huge fan of The Smiths...

Oooof.

Arcade Fire: Win Butler is a sex pest.

Brand New: Jessie is a groomer of underage girls.

Marilyn Manson: his videos from 2009- pretty much lay it out in the open, but he's the fucking worst physical and emotional abuser of women. Just a shit human being.

I have stopped purchasing these artists merch and they have all been removed from my Spotify. Their records now live in my basement. When I must listen, I listen to my personal rips, alone.

I like the Beatles, and there's the obvious clique joke of "John beats his wives, ya know?"

I like a grand total of one Megadeath song, "Hanger 18". That bad is very troublesome. I feel bad for enjoying it, but I don't pay for it, so I guess that's better? But it's nostalgic for me, and I like the words "Military intelligence, two words combined that can't make sense."

I'd have to go through each bands' wikipedia page, but I think some of the worst things are;

• Disagreed on who wrote what, leading to members leaving or the band breaking up

• Disagreed on who owns the name, leading to court battles and the band splitting in two

• Important members leaving, and while the band is still fun to listen to both new and old songs, its not the same

And of course the dreaded sin of "Why does no one know who I am talking about, they need more fans." but that's not really a thing of their own.

Vince Neil killing Razzle. Then the band casually acting like Mick never existed.

I used to really love R. Kelly's Bump N' Grind, until... Well, I think everyone knows at this point

literally just being dave mustaine

I wonder how many hotel rooms They Might Be Giants have trashed

I was a big fan of G.G. Allin, so it's hard to pin point just a single moment, but we'll let google and your imaginations take you there. It's pretty trippy.

When I was super young and listening to ace of bass i learned one of the members was also a white supremacist.

Lead singer of L7 whipped her used tampon at an asshole like a fucking champ.

The dude from Iced Earth and Demons and Wizards is a right wing terrorist. That's a bummer.

Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) is a prolific anti-Semite.

Maybe not as bad as the others…

I’ve been a NOFX fan for about 25 years; still am.

Their whole Vegas shooting country music joke was really hard to wake up to & read as a fan. Also the ripple effect that had on the other bands playing with them; the shows getting canceled; it was all a huge shitshow.

Having said that, I’m sure NOFX themselves have done more fucked up things than that joke, but the timing and lack of sensitivity was really a gut punch (not just to the fans, but the people of Vegas and the victim’s families).

Aero Chord made some cool stuff, and then found out he sexually assaulted Mylk in 2014 when she was just trying to help him out... It fucked her up pretty bad, guy's a complete asshole.

If I had a nickel for every time one of my favorite noise artists was accused of sexual assault by another artist I follow, I'd have two nickels. Which isnt a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice (Michael Gira from Swans was accused by Larkin Grimm and Alexis Marshall from Daughters was accused by Kristin Hayter).

Just saw Anti-Flag a few months ago right before they broke up suddenly because of an allegation.

My favorite musicians, writers, sports stars, and TV crew are pretty cool for the most part, though there's a childhood program of mine where all the original actors just hate working with one another, to the point where when Jason David Frank ended his life a few months ago, only one actress said a single word of sympathy. Arguably worse than being a jerk to the fans, from a certain perspective. That and the company/studio has some very EA-esque habits.

Hyper Potions. They split due to the other member being involved in pedophilia and rape, which shocked me when I heard about it.
