I love me some JEW.
The Middle is such a good song.
God I love that song. I know nothing about the band, haven’t listened to their other stuff, but every time that song comes on the volume goes up, I start singing and tear up a little…
It was only last year I actually learned the real lyrics to the song. I could never quite understand the lyrics by listening until I looked them up. Great message in there about being yourself and not giving a fuck about what haters think or say. 😃
iirc it was written for a young fan who was getting bullied in school
I saw them live in 2004 at the Warped Tour.
Oh cool, Warped Tour '04 was my first concert! Best day of my life, honestly.
That was twenty-two years ago.
Shut the fuck your mouth!
I am old.
If that tour was a porn star she’d be in MILF porn now.
that was a good tour
Why did you have trouble understanding the lyrics of the song? They pronounce all the words clearly.
The middle of JEW? E?
You really bleed American, eh?
My veins are blue and I have red and white blood cells. Clearly, I bleed French.
Blue blood? Off with his head!
I will stick with my bandname for kids parties, Cool Under Northern Thunder, thank you very much.
You gotta get yourself one of these shirts
Its a parady of the Northern Territories advertising campaign that blew way up and has outlasted the government’s efforts
*parody
Also don’t release an album titled “bleed American” the day before 9/11.
How about a live album of a concert in NYC that featured the twin towers on fire that was released on 9/11
I found the album a few weeks later in stores, even after they pulled it. Solid.
That “Live scenes from New York” really sells it.
Man, I can’t imagine their reaction.
Before release: “Man, thisnalbum cover is sick dude,what a statement”
Then release day: “Oh yeah, big day… oh yeaj, city on fire man! Wait what? What do you mean actually burning?”
Oof I’m a big Dream Theater fan and never knew that. Poor timing for sure.
How about an album called “God hates us all” on 9/11?
Bit hard to pull that one off. Unless 9/11 were an inside job and the White House was informing the music industry.
Real shit: there’s a conspiracy theory Milo Rossi debunked about the supertramp album breakfast in america predicting 9/11
Such a fucking good song/album though. I’ll never forget the first time I heard it.
I laughed out loud when I finally realized what band was saying this.
Humorously, the lead singer is named Jim (Adkins), but the band’s name comes from the backing vocalist/guitarist Tom’s brother, also named Jim.
The band’s name came from a crayon drawing made after an incident between [Tom] Linton’s younger brothers, Jim and Ed Linton, who fought frequently. Jim usually won, but Ed sought revenge by drawing a picture of Jim shoving the Earth into his mouth; Ed captioned the picture “Jimmy eat world”.

From an official account too. I fear people are not caring about how effectively they communicate anymore.
not caring about how effectively they communicate
But not only did you understand what they meant, it got an extra 3 (4 including this one) comments on this post. Seems pretty effective to me.
Engagement bait isn’t effective communicating, it’s a large component of what’s wrong with the world right now. Instead of sharing actual knowledge or being more careful with our words, there’s an incentive to get it wrong on purpose because that’s what the algorithm rewards. Let’s all be better.
I’m sure it was just autocorrect anyway. It’s just a ridiculous thing to get worked up about, thinking communication is getting worse, kids these days, etc

edit: never mind, verdi already commented that 5 hours ago.
Worked out for AJJ, kinda.
Haven’t they since changed their name and apologized? I stopped listening to them after that
They changed their name to “AJJ” instead of the full previous name. Basically saying Andrew Jackson was a piece of shit and everyone already called them AJJ anyway. That was a loooong time ago now, like maybe a decade.
Yeah I know it was a while ago and that’s when I stopped listening to them lol. I can’t say I wouldn’t have even if they hadn’t changed that name though. I think I used that as an excuse to cover up the fact that I just wasn’t vibing with them anymore.
Better than ‘Zander Ingests Overly Negative Information Sounding Tired’
Haha.
This band is still hanging out at the online Nazi bar huh?
The date in the image says this is from over 7 years ago, on 2018-07-27
Good point, I did not look very closely. I wonder if they’re still active there though, a crazy number of people and institutions are.
I assume that most institutions that are still active are only active to promote themselves, and mirroring the same content from instagram to X, and not actually engaging with the fans like in the early days of Twitter.
You’re greatly overestimating the general public’s knowledge of Musk.
A lot of these are more than general public, they’re institutions, corporations, organizations, and people who should (and probably do) know better.
Right, they go where the people are.
It’s still a bar run by a Nazi, i.e. a Nazi bar, even if many of the customers are ignorant.
That wasn’t a justification, just a reason why people still use it.
