  • Gen Xer here…

    It didn’t use to be this bad. The FCC (and ftc) dropped the bag (regulatory capture), letting clear channel gobble up stations.

    When I was a kid had a couple great local stations back in the day. One was a highschool station that local bands could send in cassette tapes and they would play them on Tuesdays. They had a Mosh Monday curated by local metalhead kids/young adults (there was vocational training at the radio station in evening classes).

    Even the commercial channels were better. Not great or anything, but they had a lot more variety.






  • The shitty hot take on suni vs shia was at least preempted by a disclaimer that he knew nothing about the subject (he didn’t). The structure of the… narrative? argument? readomly talking like he had something to say? was bad enough, when he started going off on COVID, it was really just the straw.

    If that was you, sorry man. It was rough. I’d love to see some stats on the video cause I suspect I held out longer than most.
