      As for women’s rights, he believes in them (“they have the right to be the fuckin’ shit”), and as for environmental conservation, he thinks its time humans get over their superiority complex, saying, “Let me tell you what a superior animal is: a whale.”

      American politics are so fucked that actual clowns have become the voice of reason.

      Isn’t that a bit late? I’m 36 and ICP seemed like a thing for the age bracket above me growing up. Or did the whole magnets meme push their demo to a lower age bracket or something?

        some artists pick up new fans with every generation. see also: michael jackson, the beatles, ozzy, hendrix, slayer, etc.

        it’s kind of hilarious to me, being a 80s/90s kid, that of all the acts that were HUGE in the 90s (collective soul, smashing pumpkins, alanis morrisete, REM, etc), ICP is one of the few still in the news

          I mean, as a GenXer it kinda makes sense to me that the biggest GenX bands are not about trying to stay in headlines. 🤷‍♂️

            Smashing Pumpkins is back, and banks like RHCP and Radiohead just never stopped making (at least decent, some great) new records.

            But yeah if the drugs didn’t get them, the attitudes to it a lot of spotlight from those bands.

            However, The number of teens wearing Nirvana clothes recently has been fun to see. And being told I wouldn’t understand why a teen would like their songs is fucking hilariously (as I was a young teen when they came out). I wonder how long it’s going to last though.
