a music video from a time, and a place, made by a situated people with particular characteristics.
Oh boy. Someone let Akkad know his bois are woke AF too .. 2003 LOS ANGELES — A rock band crashes the Justin and Christina tour, a gay pride parade and the BET Awards to play their new single? It might sound like an episode of "Jackass" or "PUNK'D," but it's not. It's the setup for Alien Ant Farm's next video.
....
On Sunday, the band dressed the truck as a giant ant — complete with mandibles, antennae and legs — and entered it as a float in West Hollywood's Gay Pride Parade.
"We thought it would be funny to just go down the parade on a float, appreciating diversity and jamming on our instruments," Corso said. "And it was a really long parade, too. We did multiple takes of the song going down Santa Monica Boulevard."
And how did the crowd react? "It was wonderful! We didn't 'belong' there, but it was cool. There were a couple of like 'Blue Oyster Bar'-type biker boys on the side of the street, in full garb, like a couple of Rob Halfords. [They] threw me metal horns.
"The most negative response we got all day was [from] the [anti-gay] fanatics," he continued. "All those ignorant bastards were corralled in [one area] with megaphones, placards, everything. When we went by, we stopped playing and started gesturing at these people, if you know what I mean. They were gesturing back at us, and they were yelling. And all the people attending the parade were cheering for us."
2001 was not, in fact, the completely different world Sargon implies it is. You could have already had DSL speed internet if you were in a relatively well developed part of the US. The "Terkahjerbs" episode of South Park would air within three years of this song's release
Sargon of Akkad is so dumb and smug I can't even watch dunking videos of him because he's that unbearable. Tim Pool dunking vids are great because he's dumb in a funny way, Sargon just makes me groan.
"This is what the world looked like before posting the age brackets for pedo-, hebe- and ephebophilia made people ask me hurtful questions about the distance i'm required to keep from schools."
Alien Ant Farm singer Dryden Mitchell is facing a misdemeanor battery charge for an alleged incident with a fan that took place in October of last year. The 46-year-old nu-metal singer is being accused of grabbing a male fan's outstretched hand during a show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and allegedly forcing the hand onto Mitchell's own groin area.
Has anybody seen the whole frutiger aero aesthetic? Terminally online babies diagnosing the world by comparing it to software design and cheesy wallpapers twenty years ago.
It’s not the inevitable decline in profits as capitalism but minimalism and consumer dystopia bad vibes that are causing our misery.
Usually when these fascist dorks talk about wanting to RETVRN to a decade, they talk about the '50s or something. This being about the fucking '00s makes it even lamer than usual.
Amazing he manages to spew vitriol against muslims, black and brown people, women, and jews all in one 276 character tweet ostensibly about a fucking 2001 music video. Impressive tbh. He's got the grift down to a fine art.
