[@morganolfursson2560]

if you think that drug dealing is not evil then you are the one with the problem here .

[@morganolfursson2560]

Not a real argument ? Because you think "I don't see someone drug dealing as evil. " is argumentative ?

[@morganolfursson2560]

KIds are gullible , you buy crap everyday , because you think this is good for you , and you do not even blame the seller and publicists who use all the tricks in the box to sell it to you . Teenagers are the easiest people to influence , you can make them do anything you want as long as you make them believe this is in their best interest . Buy drugs, it's cool, buy drugs, people will love you and want to be with you, buy drugs or you'll be an outcast and will have no social life, try drugs and all your problems will go away , especially your teenage existentialist crisis , do drugs and you will be the talk of the town and the most popular person around . No Hugger , this is MOST CERTAINLY NOT a consensual agreement , this is one person influencing another one into doing something under false pretexts and made believe hopes . This is selling an illusion that will eventually destroy the life of the person using the drugs and make the one selling them only richer . Ask yourself the question, why do people buy something, that is an absolute poison for their system . Would go buy some rat poison and eat it ? LSD and heroin are worse than rat poison . So i am not buying one piece of the consensual agreement , argument . And you should know better than that yourself, unless you are a teenager . He sold something that he knows is going to fuck up the life of the people buying it , and yet had no scruples selling it and didn't feel bad for a second for what he was doing as long as he makes a buck out of it . I would call that the very definition of evil. This is exactly what rich nations do to third world nation on daily basis , and the third world nations buy it because they are told that this is in their best interest , in order to get a share of the big cake , when in the end, this is just the hand of the farmer feeding the animals until they are big enough to be taken to the slaughter house, Until the last minute the animal believes it is being taken care of and loves the farmer . This is exactly the same thing .

[@morganolfursson2560]

Most teenager live under a rock, and I do not blame anybody but the dealers . So called danger ? You make it sound as if the danger part of those drugs was unsubstantiated . How old are you Hugger ? Rat poison can make you euphoric if you take it in small quantity , that's why i chose that example . And tree hugger, do not give me a lecture on the medical use of drug , i am both an MD and a Vet and have been working for the UN treating people and animals for the past 15 years . So, tree hugger let's say that when you have three PhD in the medical field (the third one being neuroscience and biology, so you imagine easily how well aware i am of the effect of drugs on the system and their medical use) . then and only then, can you give me a lecture, because right now , you are not telling me anything i haven't studied already 20 years ago . "It's only when you start abusing drugs that things could go south, " yes i am also very well aware of that (is that your professional medical opinion ? And this is precisely why drugs administrated in a medical environment (hospital, clinic , home by actual docs, which are the only places and way drugs should be used) are so highly supervised , because of their addictive properties . What exactly do you mean by "that's fully on you" ? Also before we further this discussion , as i feel very awkward talking to a tree hugger , i would appreciate to know your name just the first name is enough and also your age and profession , just to figure out who i am discussing with. You understand of course . I am Kyllian , born in Arizona , raised mostly in Europe (borading school in Switzerland) , part Icelandic (father) part British (mother) , i gave up my american citizenship a long time ag. , As i said i'm a Vet and an MD though i mostly work as a vet today (at my partner and I's clinic) and for the WAP which is a branch of the UN based in London , I am 43 years old , living bith in Zurich Switzerland where our clinic is, and London , married to another vet, a japanese man, and father of three adopted teens . How about yourself ?

I’ve had Party Monster on dvd since 2006. I randomly bought it when I saw Macaulay culkin on the cover and it’s in my top 10 fave movies of all time. WHO else loved this movie??! Seth Green is absolutely phenomenal in this! He’s unrecognizable and I think the only time you see his true acting chops.

[@oreospeedwagon3708]

SAME! Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green killed it in that movie! If you haven’t read James St. James’ memoir titled ‘Disco Bloodbath: A Fabulous but True Tale of Murder in Clubland’, I highly recommend it! (I believe the book was actually retitled ‘Party Monster’ after the movie was released in 2003)

[@jentemp1]

Yesss!!! If you haven't seen the documentary "Glory Daze", that is another must see. I love that they actually got a lot of the top club kids, as adults, to reminisce about their time in the 90s and it also talks about Angel's murder, following Michael's release from prison. I often wonder if they ever thought about making another, since Michael's passing. Also, if you love Party Monster the movie, and haven't seen it, Party Monster The Shockumentary, is something you definitely have to watch. I actually found it, in its entirety, here on youtube. It's about an hour long and it is interesting. After seeing it, I now realize where a lot of scenes from the movie came from. I don't care what anyone says, I think Macaulay and Seth, nailed their roles! If you don't know, there are also little scenes in the movie that were taken right from the Shockumentary and have some of the real club kids. Ernie Glam and Richie Rich are the 2 that stand out the most off the top of my head. Anyway, you should check them out!

He’s probably beside himself trying to figure out what the hell to talk about when they have no real aim, or focus in life, and 90% of the population - his viewers- (especially in the 90’s)- couldn’t relate to a single bit of their degenerate lifestyles.

All the goofy outfits/makeup wasn't them expressing themselves. It was just an abrasive act to get attention. If people reacted positively to them, they won. If they reacted negatively to them, they still won because now they get to fight back and pretend they are champions of the LGBTQ community. At the end of the day, it was just a bunch of dumb boring people who wanted attention, so they did what they had to do to get it.

I googled club kids a few days ago after I saw a cool "my best club kid look" tiktok wondering what they were. Now I'm watching this video with a glamorous, mysterious, 90s nightlife kingpin - like a cult leader in many ways - surrounded by his loyal and equally glamorous club kids. At his peak he was probably one of the coolest people on the planet, a leader in the NYC nightlife, creating a movement, and leaving a mark on the fashion world forever. It's all so fascinating and compelling I've caught myself momentarily forgetting that he fell into addiction then brutally murdered his friend and dismembered the body. And here in this video is the kingpin, the victim, and the very 1994 Geraldo rushing through the audience member's answers as if he's being told each answer can only be 4 seconds long then he has to make a stupid underhanded joke at their expense then rush on to his next victim. What the fuck bro this is probably a top 5 all time video find for me. 90s daytime TV true crime fever dream eleganza, 5/5 stars. RIP Angel, my heart goes out to his family.

He was a great interviewer in the beginning. Geraldo would expose the government and botched police work. He spoke about serial killer Jeffery Dahmer and gave insider information about a white man who visited Dahmer on several occasions while he was actively killing Black men. He spoke about the Challenger accident and how the astronauts were left in the ocean for hours when they were probably ALIVE. This video seems silly but Michael Alig has been convicted of murder and has been released. Now Michael Alig has been seen with a child Desmond Is Amazing a little boy who decided to dress in trans style because his mother liked Ruepaul. The little boy Desmond has been seen in strip clubs taking off a little and getting paid by gay men. He imitated snorting ketamine and has acted confused on film. He told his mother that he was afraid of being murdered. It's sad actually. A little boy wanting attention by his MOTHER is now being paraded as a voice of transchildren.

But, back in the day the tickets to these shows were free, first come/first serve, promoters would send everyone they could to for advertisement, and people like Michael or Miss Understood or even Rupaul would show up just for exposure and all worked the talk show circuit..

Of course I traveled and met people from different lifestyles. Down south some people didn't like my New York accent and perceived me with a women of promescuity or what they may have seen on T.V. In California, some of the clubbers thought I was an undercover cop. I wouldn't know why. Germany was the only place I felt accepted by the neighborhood residents. The Americans were the ones who passed judgement. I have had associates who were supervisors, gay, prostitutes, nurses, and other various back grounds. I don't believe in judging people. From place to place, I had to constantly watch my back and ignore the ignorance but it hurt. I could not get into what the club kids get into but I can relate to some of their fears and angst and respect their right to do it. I was just a young girl trying to find a place in this world.

We used to beg our parents for those amazing shoes growing up! We would see them in the stores around Baltimore City where I am from and still live. I was born in 1985 so I only got to watch and admire them! Before the internet we had to actually dig and research the people and subcultures we were interested in! #AstroEarl always and still has some of the best outfits!

So at least we know this: one is a killer, one is dead, one never made it a singer. Wonder what happened to the rest.

[@Amanda-py5pp]

Astro is a hair stylist in New York now! And Screamin Rachel hasn’t cracked a bit! She’s still adorable and makes music (I think)

[@morganolfursson2560]

He was a fucking drug dealer

[@TarantulaCandy]

+ drug dealers don't deserve to rest in peace? bitchplease

[@belladonnadominguez4765]

Morgan Olfursson so he deserved to be murdered????

[@morganolfursson2560]

No he did not deserve to be murdered , but only because i am against dead penalty . But i am completely for the Talion law . If angel had the axe or a gun he might have killed michael . Junkies get killed on a daily basis by their dealers when they can 't pay and it never makes first page , and nobody gives a fuck about it, so when the junkie kills the dealer i really don't see how this should be a tragedy . I am neither a junkie nor a dealer . Don't get me wrong i am not a saint either , i did use drugs recreatively when i was young and stupid and i can even indulge in a spliff every now and then if i feel like it on holiday (but it is grown locally by friends who run a vegan organic farm and wouldn't hurt a fly) . But i have three kids , 3 teens and they get approached by dealers and because they are smart they report it to me . And one day they got approached by a scumbag who dared putting his hand on one of my daughter (and i just mean putting his filthy hands on her shoulder ) so i went to see where this happened to see whom she was approached by . (just for the record i have over 20 years of Krav Maga and Boxing behind me plus 5 years of L.I.N.E) . I found the guy (i don't rely on the police for this kind of shit, they won't move a fucking finger unless someone gets shot or raped ), this pile of shit of a man didn't owe me anything and i didn't owe him anything , and yet when i was holding his neck in my hands to give him a good scare about never fucking getting close to my daughters or anybody around here ever again , it is only common sense and basic decency toward another living thing that stopped be from snapping his neck and do the fucking neighborhood a favor . If i had been high on E or C or K or whatever Michael was high on that day , i think i could have made carpaccio of a dealer with an axe . But at the end of the day the drug business at its roots is one of the dirtiest and most disgusting business (after the animal trade) and is responsible for the death and exploitation , abuse, extortion , corruption and intimidation of millions of people around the world (and i am talking about the kids and teen like mine, or elderly, in third world nations who are used and exploited against their will for this business and treated like absolute crap when they are not shot the second they rebel or threaten to leave) . So i have neither any form of respect for dealers in our so called developed societies nor for the users of those drugs . Personally whether angel killed michael or michael killed angel i couldn't fucking care less , but i am never fucking gonna believe that the loss of a fucking dealer is a (forgive the pun) big deal . He was a piece of shit when he was alive , he is still a piece of shit now that he rots . If anything , his death probably spared the life of other teens or kids who , thanks to it, were never approached by him . So no he didn't deserve to die, but i am glad he did. That's called karma .

[@morganolfursson2560]

He deserves to rest in piss .
