The DJ stopped the show mid-set to say 'Free Palestine!'

Never once has a DJ stopped a show for a political message in my city. Everyone cheered too.

I'm really loving how, unlike with Ukraine, there's plenty of people seeing through the propaganda blitz. Zionists must be shitting themselves right now.
- The optics of the conflict are much more conducive to it.
that's so dope
the closest political clubbing experience I had was a person in a maid costume + furry head holding up that photo of John Cena with Mao's hair on stage in a vaporwave party
- I feel like vaporwave draws a lot of reactionaries because the use of 80s/90s kitsch aesthetics combined with greco-roman imagery is like, a RETVRN thing for them. Which is funny because the original vaporwave artists were suggesting something very different by juxtaposing elements of our vapid consumer culture with those of a fallen western civilization, but of course chuds always miss the point.
  
  The three figures I could point to as creating vaporwave as a style of music are a black man, a trans woman, and a Jewish man. (DJ Screw, Vektroid, and Daniel Lopatin respectively). And every time I go in a vaporwave production discord half the profiles have trans flags.
  Not to say reactionaries don't love to adopt culture from people they deem lesser though. They love rock music. But this one always felt really weird for fascists to try and usurp.
  
  The audience was definitely way left of the average American
  It was filled with Asian Zoomers in San Francisco
- That sounds rad as fuck.
  EDIT: Apparently not so rad.
  
  It's not, it's Sinophobic because the context of that meme is John Cena apologizing for recognizing Taiwan as a country while speaking Mandarin and also mispronouncing "ice cream" so Western Zoomers made the Cena Mao meme to make fun of him for being a "CCP shill"
shout out to his family
I saw Machine Girl earlier this year. They had some kind of technical mishap with a bass amplifier, so the show got paused like a minute. So the band led the crowd in a chant of "Fuck Greg Abbott." It's what made me finally think the kids will be alright.
- Love Machine Girl! Got to see them this year too and loved the show.
good shit, happy to see a lot of people understand the genocide that's going on right now by the IDF
