This ice cream metaphor is the best explanation that I didn't know I needed. That band turns me OFF. I never understand anything Phoebe B mumbles, and mumbling times three does not make it better. I want better for us.

“there were never really enough normal boygenius fans to counteract the ‘run me over with your Jeep’ vibes.” That line slayed me 😂

Seconding the praise for the Jeep line and the ice cream metaphor, but man, bad take on Julien Baker's solo material. "Little Oblivions" is an incredible, if devastating, album.

The most offensive thing about this is the diss of Julien Baker who might be the most talented of the three of them! But agree about everything else.

I’m assuming Jimmy doesn’t know that Emily, I’m Sorry is about a real person and Phoebe’s ex. But go off. Why does a woman have to be actively fucking another woman to justify her *bi*sexuality?

But anyway, yeah, their fanbase is insufferable and a complete turnoff even to the band itself. I’ll stand with you on that, Jimmy Neutron.

I knew this was gonna be complete bullshit before even reading but I sucked it up because I find genuine critique informative and interesting but I found none! The fact that you have to talk about their bodies and invalidate their sexualities because you can't find enough wrong with their music to make a valid criticism is such a low blow. Nobody is saying you have to like everything they make or their fans, who I get can be aggravating but I'd argue is something true of any successful artist -- but it doesn't take much to not be a piece of shit about them as people and a project they worked hard on and are proud of. Anyway hope it was fun for you to hide behind anon and talk a bunch of shit about queer women during lesbian visibility week <3.

Normal boygenius fan logging on to say the hysteria around them does make me glad that they are unlikely to do another album together (at least not any time soon)

You're not BUYING anything here though? The only exchange here is your attention and you're greatly overvaluing it.
