Now, all this could just be what's going on in the mind of one kid in one class at one school as they view a wider phenomenon, and I'm gonna look into it a bit more because, you know, the Internet, but their take on it really me laugh.

From what I can gather from the sprog, kids are taking GenAI art/animation/characters and giving them fake Itanglese names and a kind of collective continuity, all ripping the piss out of AI for being mediocre. Those with the most popularity/noteriety are "main", while the others are "sides".

I was worried when the sprog said there is a thing called "Sigma Boy". Look it up. Absolutely destroyed by laughter here. The kids are rippin' it up.

The early grunge/proto-grunge punk period was full of amazing albums. Pretty on the Inside, Mudhoney's debut, Locust Abortion Technician, 8-Way Santa (also a more poppy take on a SubPop band with Buch Vig engineering), The Melvins knocking out sludgy classis... Bleach slots in really nicely.

Banger of an album!

It's explicitly a way of protecting those forms of expression acceptable to the system (transphobia, racism) while also declaring those it doesn't like (socialism) beyond the pale. If you say that socialism doesn't deserve respect in a civilised society, you say the same about socialists.

Funny how it always leans reactionary...

i probably had speakerphone 2, but also this exists thunderaud.io/products/tel...

Yes, you should have me play it. For testing or something.
