Here’s something: don’t idolize artists. Don’t idolize anyone, as a matter of fact. Be inspired by artists, admire them. But u don’t have to “stan” anyone. This is amazing art..

No, we can stan them because they’re inspiring. They’re some artists that are inspiring and are stan worthy like Kurt for example. Fav feminist

[@ZZ-ue8ic]

@@decomposingdiamond7355 I never once spoke about Courtney? I said Kurt. The things he writes/sings whatever about. It makes him a feminist. I know about what Courtney said but I can separate the art from the artist. But I was mentioning Kurt not Courtney. But you’re saying a celeb/youtuber/streamer can’t be looked up to because we don’t know if they have a dark side to them or if they said Insulting things like slurs and such? What if they really didn’t? I’m gonna use Ethan from Unus Annus - he literally donated toys to children who can’t afford it. That’s someone to look up to- People looked up to Charli from Tik tok and she got cancelled. It’s about enjoying what you have until you realize - oh shit can’t look up to them. It’ll feel depressing at first but you’ll get used to it. Your logic is shit btw. You should change it.

[@takenoprisoners837]

Good advice

It doesn’t matter if the artist does something fucked up or has a clean record, never idolize anyone. They’re just people at the end of the day, don’t idolize them for good and don’t ridicule them for bad

Brave? What did she have to lose from outing Weinstein? She already has FU money from her inherited ownership stake in Nirvana, and film wise she already went as far as she will with award nominations from "The People vs. Larry Flint". As far as Hole, most successful albums "Live Through This" must have had some influence from Kurt, not that he full on wrote the songs but helped Courtney round it out. There is admittedly no direct evidence of this. "Celebrity Skin" Billy Corgan co-wrote five songs that- no one disputes; and although Courtney tried to minimize his contribution, I'm going to have to side with Corgan that's BS. In fact Hole's bassist Melissa Auf der Maur who co-composed five of "Celebrity Skin" songs left the band and joined Corgan in Smashing Pumpkins after. I like Hole's music, and I appreciate Courtney speaking up so publicly when no one else had at that time, but... uh... sorry to rain on your BRAVE and STRONG parade.

I started to play the guitar and make my own music in 1994. I was extremely influenced and motivated by Hole. I still seek music like this but haven’t found anything that compares. I loved the subject matter and undertones of feminist themes and/or just a woman’s point of view. And not the everything is wonderful, saccharine kind of music you usually hear from women who’s main goal is to be liked & for their music to be popular. I want more of this. I want to hear real and raw & the authenticity of pain. I want to hear women who yell and aren’t afraid to not sound “pretty”.
