Been hopping you'd cover the Tramp Stamps💯👍

i love how tiktokers keep saying they're "catering to tumblr kids" but the first thing i knew about them is that they were bullied off tumblr in 5 hours
Right? I slept through the whole thing up and was very disappointed (and confused) to wake up and found what I missed
genuinely.
they were pandering to tiktok, not tumblr. tumblr is more... classically alternative, these days.
Tumblr users are the fiercest online fighters ever known, we are the french rioter of internet, as a french tumblroid, I'm dangerous
Same. And my second thought was "I knew KPP was devastating, but 6 hours?"
And then I was just proud of the platform
@@imgayerthanu4542 French Tumblroid is the best sentence known to man, and I fear you.
My theory is they ARE industry plants but not to appeal to the Tumblr TikTok Teen demographic but to make it look bad, like a sort of musical Oppa Homeless Style
YES! Like some "this is what the SJW snowflakes wanna do with our holy country" type shit 💀
I swear I heard they were proven to be country artists before all of this went down
I somehow have a doubt the industry is smart like that.
Like, it's a cool theory, I'd love it to be true, but idk really
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740
The industry is dumb enough to sincerely believe anyone who hates that demographic, though.

Ask Todd Goldman. He's the guy who made a profit from "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them."
And from stealing other people's work.
"We realised we are white girls"
This comment has led to helping me realise I am, in fact, a white guy. I never realised this before, and the Tramp Stamps have helped me with this major revelation. For all these years I never knew my race. These women have truly helped me :D
LMAO
They made me realize we truly live in a society
“How many people are in the duo?”
“I think there’s three.”
As much as I hate them, that was gold.
27:37 LMFAO
"Not every criticism of a woman is rooted in misogyny."
Paging Gabbie Hanna....
Surprise they haven’t started bitching and moaning by calling people their high school bullies yet
Imagine thinking women can never do anything worthy of being called out for…..
This reminds me of when I was playing a game called Animals Online. Some hacker kept targeting me. So, I said that Animals Online was a terribly made game and they shouldn't have spent their money on hacks for it (most if not all of the character models were pre-made, and there were a lot of glitches) but it was their money, they can do what they want with. Hacker's friends and her start bullying me and calling me a misogynist because apparently I'm not allowed to be angry at a woman. They start targeting another guy, and calling him a misogynist for telling them to stop, basically anyone who sided with me would be called a misogynist and be bullied.
Bitch, we don't hate you because you're a woman, we hate you because you're ruining the game.
Apparently women do no wrong.
@@hilol4049 as a woman I apologize for those types… usually we all know when it is appropriate to call someone a misogynist… being called out for ruining a game by hacking it isn’t a valid reason.

There's at least 5 i can think of now, they aren't special or unique in that aspect but the tramp stamps gave off so much "no like other girls" vibes it feels disingenuous....
the real tragedy is finding out “Marissa is literally Italian.” wasnt actually them
i think if the tramp stamps had tried this stuff in like 2013, tumblr would have LOVED them, but they waited until all the punk kids grew up and did their research
They really feel like they were targeting angsty tweens and missed by a mile.
Your comment makes sense
Probably. I think the stright white guy lyrics might have tipped a few people off lol.
They logged off Tumblr way too soon
@@LadyoftheDreamless14 No, if they tried this when a bunch of hormonal, isolated teenagers had *just* discovered social justice, the kids would've fallen for it.
"The way that we shake our ass-y" sounds like one of those skits about a songwriter that can't come up with closing rhymes.
There are Whose Line hoedowns that are better written than that line.
Reminds me of the episode of Always Sunny when Charlie tries to sing a valentines song to Dee.
It's so amateurish. Could have been an attempt by the big label to make it look like they wrote all the lyrics themselves 🤦♀️
Have you ever took time out to finish a rhyme, but the right words just weren't there?

Reminds me of that John Mulaney bit about how Mick Jagger writes songs lmao.
I love how today in november 2022 they've disbanded without a word. Their twitter and instagram hasnt updated since christmas of last year and their individual instagrams no longer even mention the tramp stamps. They've all gone back to their own asthetics that down even include punk or alternative fashion. Its not even suprising that they went like feral and just stopped without a word.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned that their entire ad campaigns are centered around them being bratty high schoolers when they're pushing thirty

Their idea of being punk and feminist is... pathetic? Like, they seem to think being punk is getting drunk and having a lot of inadvisable sex, and that feminism is hating and mocking men for their bodies or gender presentation.
And they make feminists look bad :/
@@pikascoolawesome reason why I don’t call myself a feminist to the majority of people in my life
@@Rainy.help.me. there's no excuse for that. Feminism is, at its core, the strive for equity between men and women. If your fear of people thinking you're a radical feminist overrides your passion for real feminism, you're not much of a feminist in the first place.
@@beetle1516 Feminism/feminist is just a word, man. What you do is more important than what you call it. The average working class person in a Western nation frequently supports surprisingly socialist ideology, but will swear up and down that they hate socialism. If they're just misusing a word, yeah it's annoying to have to change the words you use to achieve things, but a lot of people wish that all they had to do to forward their ideology was change the word they use.
right? Obviously I'm a feminist, as I think everyone should strive for equality, but I also consider myself punk. I might not be covered in tattoos and piercings, but punk as a genre is more about rebellion and not sitting down and taking what life throws at you. At least in my mind, punk feminist is a die hard activist wearing what they want and protesting how they want, not irresponsible sex and substance ab-se
Man there's something so funny about three grown women trying to make fun of a grown man by doing the 3 year old "repeating everything he said" and thinking it's a serve
There are a ton of artists with rich parents who bankrolled or arranged their fame: Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, and so forth. But they project this image of being down to earth, working hard, and being deserving without being honest about their privilege - even lying about it. I wish the playing field were more level, and I wish celebs were more honest about their privilege.
The tramp stamps being bullied off tumblr is probably one of the funniest things ever to me

I wanna meet the record executive who thought that advertising to "tumblr girls" is a good idea.
Their idea of naive, fandom-centered tumblr is frozen somewhere around 2013. Since then, the users became much more jaded, are extremely proud of running the website to the ground and hate being advertised to. Tramp Stamps' targeted demographic did not exist for literal years. Whoever came up with this marketing strategy unknowingly threw these women down a pit to be eaten alive by a pack of rabid hyenas.
Correction, as someone who semi grew up on tumblr… Us the users, did not run it into the ground. The company did, because they completely misjudged said user base and didn't listen to us. We are proud of, unlike other websites, not breaking under corporate pressure, but the corporation breaking against our sheer decision to just… not.
Also The Great Tumblr exodus has further dwindled down the numbers to the truly jaded, very observant, and yes very rabid users.
They were not just throw down a pit, they were tossed down into a very very deep cavern filled with not only rabid hyenas but spikes.
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 Immaculate spike pit meme reference right there, my friend
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 i mean the staff absolutely run it into the ground but also the community keeps proudly stating how unprofitable and unmarketable of a user base they are
@@cosmo2590 Yea, it's almost like we _dont want to be profitable for a company or something_ almost as if _we don't like being reduced to the idea of monetary gain_
I can't wait to see how the exclusive posts fare
That's all I thought about during the video
Since I only use Tumblr, i was reading posts from there alone, and i loved it. Even without the fake accounts, to think an industry plant attempted to sell things to Tumblr is hilarious. They are literally like hunting hounds when it comes to recognize corporate bs, they were bullied during and after the band got popular
It’s kind of appalling how much older Paige looks compared to the others but they’re somehow all trying to all appeal as “relatable” to young listeners
As an old punk who grew up in the 80s LA punk scene. I cry. If you ever saw that classic commercial of a Native American Indian overlooking pollution and a tear streams down his face... That is me looking a this band.
Iron eyes Cody, the Italian American who faked being Cherokee, only after he died to be revealed to be Italian…but got defended by the Cherokee anyways because of everything he did for them
my whole thing is that even if they are 29, it legit doesn't matter. Dani miller of surfbort is 27 and embodies true punk spirit. its about intention.
Yeah like... Punk's been a thing for decades, it's wild to say only young people can be punk and also is frankly insulting to the people who pioneered the subculture
i think it’s less their actual age and more that they seem to be trying to pass themselves off as 18-20. very “hello, fellow TikTok babies!” energy when they could’ve just… not leaned into the “uwu we’re so hip and young” vibes. dress and do your hair like you want, be punk, no age limit; but please, don’t pretend you’re “hip youngsters”.
@@samm4158 oh yeah no I meant in general, I've seen a lot of "omg you're 28? Get back in the kitchen and make lunch for your kids, ancient hag" like anyone past 20 can't have interests outside of the most stereotypical concept of adulthood. Obviously the tramp stamps in specific fucking suck
I am 30. My friend who introduced me to the... musical genius of Tramp Stamps played me the sing without showing me the video. I was legitimately convinced those are 14 yos attempting to write a 2000s-esque pop punk song despite being unable to remember the 2000s.
I was shocked that these women (or at least one) are my peers.
Somehow those songs are not only bad even for "generic bad pop punk" standards, but are both childlish AND disturbingly graphic at the same time...
the dropkick murphys are all in their 50s or older and theyre very punk
"We realize that we are white girls..."
Absolutely profound epiphany right there. I laughed so hard when I heard that.
No way!! They’re white?? I had no idea!
HOLY SHIT IM WHITE!!!???

They took one look at themselves and went "well this is embarrassing"
They also tried this with the metal scene. It died quicker than it started.
It was funny as hell.
So as an update to this story a year later, the band would release three more songs after their “Made An EP” release in “Dick Drunk”, a Halloween/horror themed track “The Story Of Jennifer” based off of “Jennifer’s Body” and a Christmas track called “A Not So Silent Night”.
They’ve virtually been dormant as they haven’t posted anything since January 2022 and have basically gone their separate ways if not have the project on hiatus. Caroline and Marissa have recently come out with solo tracks and Marissa has even had an interview with Anthony Fantano back in January.
Ooh that “Jennifer’s Body” move is a very bad one. That film’s title comes from a Hole song from either the self titled or “Live through this.” Old school Hole, which love it or hate it alt female musicians as old as they are should KNOW about. The reference has already been made. Jennifer’s Body is not the one to do the “movie… based on the musical… based on the movie” thing with. The last things these women need is to alert a wild Courtney Love to their presence.
The Garfields and the Long Furby look like the devil/angel on your shoulder with that framing. I like to think they are heated enemies.
Enemies to lovers arc when?
The real question is who’s the angel and who’s the devil
I see it as more of a tribe of Garfields living together and the Long Furby being an ancient village elder that they come to for advice.
The lore is amazing
Heated enemies? Shoot... I've watched too much Good Omens... my head immediately thought of the Crowley X Aziraphrael(sp?) ship

weirdly enough I just got funky emo scene vibes from Izzy's outfit. like the tramp stamps have this weird e-girl vibe going on thats "perfectly put together" but Izzy's outfit is just so chaotic that it seems fun instead of awkward
"Girl power and Girl boss and no rights for men and we love dating assholes" - makes perfectly logical stand.
"Marisa is literally Italian" is still my favorite post from them
This has similar energy to the "if you're from Africa why are you white" line from mean girls and idk why

Karen! You can’t ask people why their white!
It's fake tho. Hilarious nonetheless, but fake.
Aw. Anyway stream Destroy Boys

Punk is full of playfulness and biting lyrics, but if you go into it without real heart, context, or true intention it can backfire. Sex shaming men is not revolutionary. It's very sad.
Not really. Shaming white men for clout is sexist racism. Punk is punk, ska is ska. The fact that everyones criticism is based on how "real" or "punk" they are and not their literal racism and sexism says more about the people levelling criticism than the band itself.
@@ASTEIR Hey dingaling, where'd you get your dingaling degree?
@@ASTEIR Are we seriously abiding by the "power plus privilege" definition of racism....
@@ASTEIR That's the postmodern neomarxist academic's definition of racism, not the colloquial and historical definition that most people understand. Power + privilege only works with other collectivists, because anyone with a brain recognizes that individuals do not and cannot represent the group. At the very least make a new word so it looks like you aren't trying to subvert language.
I agree, if it was, for example, a black woman writing about the racism and sexism she faces, it's good. In this case, it's a white woman who never faced racism or sexism saying "white man bad"
Also, straight white men can be trans, disabled, neurodivergent, immigrants, etc. So just saying straight white man is kinda stupid. Just say privileged white men. Also, they were cis straight white women, but apparently, being a woman negates all privilege they have /s
Also, they said they get men to do things they want by using alcohol. Isn't that r@p3?
As a musician who has lived and Nashville and experienced the local music industry/mafia, I can guarantee you that their identity and success is entirely manufactured. Their description reads almost identically to numerous mediocre up and coming songwriters that i've seen playing and promoting themselves in this city. And they probably meet in office buildings to discuss their marketability and image.
As a person who was an unabashed hardcore kid as a young man, let us never forget that “punk” has been commodified and sold since day one. The Sex Pistols, for example, were a band put together by Malcolm McLaren, dressed by Vivienne Westwood, and named in part after their clothes shop. Punk rebellion has been packaged and sold this entire time.
That's a common misconception actually!
The band was already together by the time Steve Jones asked McLaren (his good friend) to manage them and the only 'putting together' McLaren did was encouraging Johnny Rotten, someone who often hung around in the proto-punk scene that Jones and McLaren were part of themselves, to be the singer. Meanwhile, Westwood wasn't famous yet when she was running her store SEX and made most of her clothes by hand with the help of her children and friends. Their 'rival' band the Clash was equally as 'put together' in the sense that their manager Bernie Rhodes also found them a singer who he thought would mesh well with the band and encouraged them to the dress in clothes he helped make. Rhodes was actually the one who told The Clash to make political songs, meanwhile McLaren was ignored and laughed at when he tried to tell the Sex Pistols what to write songs about...
If you want sources, please check out the books England's Dreaming by Jon Savage and Passion is a Fashion by Pat Gilbert, both are very informative about both bands I talked about. Or just look at the Sex Pistols' Wikipedia page, it's much quicker and will still help clear up misinformation
@@lizburton3840 - This was such a charming, thoughtful, and informative comment. Thank you! I’ll need to rewatch the video to recall exactly what I was driving at, but of course you’re right that McLaren didn’t put together the Pistols in some Phil Spector-like fashion or like a boy-band from the 2000’s. And the Clash were definitely a deliberate and managed enterprise and a product of that scene. Honestly, I think it could be argued that the Sex Pistols were more authentic than the Clash, love them as I do. So your points are well taken.
I do think McLaren brought something important to the effort, if only direction and a vision he gained while experiencing what was going on around Rex’s and CBGB in New York. He and Westwood seemed to recognize the importance of looks to “punk” and their take on those looks clearly resonated.
I guess my point was that while the energy behind what became punk in the UK arose organically and spontaneously from the people and times they were in, from very early on it was guided and deliberately influenced. Nor is that a bad thing - Steve Jones definitely made a good choice asking McLaren to manage his band!
@@b.w.22 Thank you for such a kind response, I wasn't expecting something so nice because usually people get angry with me when I try to clear up misconceptions about the Sex Pistols. I don't know why that is, I just want everyone to be on the same page together
McLaren was definitely important to the group's success, as any good manager is! He's kind of like the britpunk version of Brian Epstein, the manager of the Beatles who helped them become successful with his business savvy and media know-how, as well as helping organize their ideas into a more cohesive structure. I think people were always somewhat aware that punk would benefit greatly from 'a look' (the Ramones were certainly aware!), McLaren and Westwood (as well as Rhodes, he was a fashion designer too after all) were the perfect team to create that look with the inspiration they had from both the NYC scene and what they were seeing back home in London. Richard Hell was a major fascination/idol for McLaren and Westwood, as well as for Johnny Rotten who was a big fan
But, to continue my very silly Beatles analogy, we wouldn't credit Epstein with the true meaning behind the Beatles or discredit the hard work of the band members because they had some help from him so why is it okay to do that to the Pistols? I hate to see the skill and hard work of working class boys who went through so many hardships in life be devalued or ignored...
Anyway, I actually strongly agree with you that there's always been an edge of commodification and exploitation in the 70s British scene that only got stronger and stronger as the years went by. There's something to be said about how so many movers and shakers of the scene were store owners/clothes sellers (McLaren, Westwood, Rhodes, and Don Letts). It's a interesting topic. I just wanted to clear up a few things so that we can all be on the same page! Thank you again for your nice response!

This band is embarrassing but they did one punk thing in their lives, they've stood up to endless bullying and protracted cancellation. The reaction to them is nearly as embarrassing as their music, and it's because they reflect just how stupid their target audience is politically. Case in point, the comments and this video point out that criticism of straight white men is actually racist and offensive to gay people. You guys think the same as them, just aren't as blunt about it. Embarrassing.
@@NightTimeDay Cry about it
Another thing I noticed on the note of their roots being the same length: their hair is all evidently professionally bleached and dyed by how even the colouring is. One punk in an indie band who didn't dye their hair at home? Believable. Three? Absolutely not.
when u wanna be alt but don't wanna destroy ur hair in the process
I mean, you can evenly dye your hair at home… but you have to do it at least three times before getting kinda good at it.
All this girls are first timers in brightly colored hair. Doesn’t check out
Yeah, with practice home dye can look pretty good. Some of my friends started dying their hair pretty young and are amazing at it now
i know you can have evenly dyed hair at home, i dyed my hair for 7 years. even then from time to time i'd get a patchy spot. my point still stands.
Ooh damn, I dye my hair purple at home and I get down to the roots (because I’m dumb and not a professional and I don’t know how not to) caught me off guard and made me go, “Oooooh wow.”

The way you say it suggest they’d be the sorts you basically make a habit of avoiding if you see them outside of work
literally like every alt girl friend group I've been around they're constantly falling on each other and laughing and playing, making fun etc etc but these women all just have the vibes of 3 coworkers you have that don't even eat lunch together

Someone (in this video or another one about them) said with their neon candy hair colors, they look more like a cute pop band than an edgy punk band. So I made cute 2000’s/2010’s themed girl characters with cute fashions. They also wear pink, purple, and blue with their own fashion and personality. Maybe they are good for something after all.

I think one of the biggest giveaways for me is the fact that they have NO chemistry together. They seem so awkward and uncomfortable around each other like they only recently met. They don't seem like a tight-knit group of gal pals who bonded over bad dating experiences
Idk I think that it may just be that they find it hard to act natural with each other while playing their personas. As pathetic as their parody of the unscripted Anthony Fantano video was it did give me the idea that they were actually friends.
Completely agree. When they were talking, it seemed (to me at least) like they werent actually interacting with each other but were just waiting for their turn to deliver a line mediocrely and then wait for their next line.
I’ve never heard of this group or these girls and at first I was like “aww it can’t be THAT bad! People online tend to be way meaner and exaggerate things a lot” but then everything you talked about just kept getting worse and worse lmao

It still baffles me that they did this all in attempt to get popular with punk crowd. In my experience, punk is some of the easiest music to get into. It isn't about perfect production, or having sweet looking music videos or even looking that good while doing it. It's music defined by the pure message and attitude. You make punk 'cause you have something to say, and that's all that really matters. The sound can be rough, it can be simple, hell, it can sound like total crap. But that's part of it all. The rough style is part of making something that doesn't pretend to be something it isn't.
I agree! You worded this really well, I was gonna add something bytt you said it perfectly
For real! I'm really into riot girl punk or as i often call it "women with grating voices further conforming I'm unbelievably gay". The music quality is rarely on point, the singers aren't perfect or often even good, and the equipment is usually cheap, but when they are singing about your mutual lived experiences and it hits your chest like you just did a bellyflop, that's what connects.
@loveutill theendoftimes only if you are actually a poser.
i mean if anything sweet looking music videos and looking good right off the bat is a mark against you
That's part of the problem though... as an industry created entity, rather than a passion-driven band... there IS no message. They have nothing genuine to say, so it's all production, with no real content or feeling.
Leave my three girlfriends alone! I'm so angry, we have to go smork a weed bunt right now.
This made me laugh so hard that I started choking.

Do they smoke weed?
Actual born and bred punk rock musician here: Doesn't matter who they have backing them up. The pont is that punk rock music isn't a sound or a style, it's an approach to music. A willingness to take chances and the will to leave the world better than when you found it. Anyone who doesn't understand this shouldn't be pretending they do. It doesn't matter if they have a label, it doesn't matter if their image or sound is contrived. Everyone's is to some extent. But these people are fakes. They're dishonest. Their approach is not authentic. They're basically safe, easy, teeny bopper pop music. Which is totally fine and valid until you start pretending you're something you're not. Honesty is the first step, and they skipped it.
As a punk born n raised in nashville I can 10000% confirm they are random plants and have never been apart of the punk/goth/alt scene here
"It's not true, Paige Blue is not dating her cousin" is so funny out of context

Right🤣😭🤣
I've just had a stalk of their instagrams today (September 2023) and Marisa doesn't follow/isn't followed by either of the other two lmao. (The other two follow each other) Wonder what happened there?
Honestly I think one of the bigger reasons that the Tramp Stamps feel like an industry plant is just the name. “The Tramp Stamps” feels like moving in the same way as The B-Sharps on The Simpsons. A name that feels clever at first, but seems less funny the more you hear it.
But by the same logic, The Beatles would be industry plants. Lol
Calling Kamala Harris a 'GRRRLBOSS' is probably the least punk thing I've ever heard. Wow.

Quick question: Is "dude" a gender neutral term?
i am on a full-fledged izzzyzzz rabbit hole and really enjoying myself
friendly reminder that the most punk thing you can be is unapologetically yourself.
they did a tiktok that was like “how many emo/punk songs do you know” or smth like that and when mcr came on ONLY ONE OF THEM KNEW IT. thats how you know they are faking it. mcr is iconic in that kind of music like
HOW. They're close to my age. MCR was HUGE when I was in high school. Makes it even worse lmao
@@alison_uncouth that's hilarious. My sisters just turned thirty and had zero interest in anything punk as teenagers and even they knew who MCR was.
I'm not even into MCR and even I know who they are what the hell
my mum is 46 and doesn't listen to any emo bands, even she knew about mcr before i liked it
my mom who didn’t like mcr, but did like some bands like linkin park, evanescence, Ect. Knew who mcr was before I became obsessed with them
The biggest tell for me was that they started doing this about five years after Tumblr misandry largely died. After all, there's almost nothing more on-brand for corporate internet trend-chasing than arriving a half-decade too late.
We're still trapped in the ramifications of it
You are so right about this omg
And do you know where misandry caught on instead? Tiktok, of course...so the fact that the heard Tiktok and Tumblr communities are the same and ran with it is telling as to how much thought was put into it
@@cinnastag Its not in the least bit the same flavour.
@@ideljenny Yeah, I know
Shout out to Izzy's phone making a cameo 👍
(I've listened to this video so many times I've started noticing a few times during the recordings you can hear a phone buzzing)

"we see you we hear you" is THE most industry thing they could say
When that one tweet said they fetishized mlm, I thought they meant multi-level marketing and I was not even a little bit surprised.
i had no idea who they were until 6 minutes in when i heard the "GONE AWAY IS MY STEPDAD" and i was like "ohhh, those ones"
I think Marisa deleted her pinterest account but you can see literally to the week when she decided on the alternative aesthetic, everything before that was either from her Marina and the Diamonds/Lana Del Rey phase or home decorating pins.
I found her old tumblr (she had one) and yeah definitely
Marina has better social commentary in her left thumb than the tramp stamps could ever hope to achieve in their wildest dreams, to be fair
@@jade4025 So true honestly. She can sometimes miss the mark tho tbh, but it's forgivable.
I've often wondered what their plan for this project is long term. Like...how long can 30 year old republican women pretend to be liberal teenyboppers?
Republican?

@@destinyswish5583
You might be onto something!
Why haven’t conservative personalities like Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Blaire White or Tomi Lahren (To name a few) already talked about them on their platforms? Why hasn’t Tucker Carlson ranted against them on national television?
Probably cause they know the Tramp Stamps are a joke intended to poke fun at Gen Z.
Until the money from the grift stops coming in. So, maybe soon? Already? I don't follow them to know.
You are the first woman in my life, I've ever heard mention how a guy can ALSO be taken advantage of while drunk. I appreciate that.
THE "MARISA IS LITERALLY ITALIAN" IS SO FUNNY HELP
As a guy one thing i've always found is that there are two kinds of "girl power" music, The kind that says "lol ur like 2 inches, haha get fucked" and really appeals to a bad kind of person and has a toxic fanbase and just is creates drama.
And then there is the kind that pulls up the woman herself without tearing down someone. The kind that shows that she is worthy of attention, time and is valuable all on her own.
I got a like from the mighty Z, bow before me mear mortals.
Also just want to clear up, yeah I think the first kind of "girl power" music isn't real or anything like that. I don't hate it, I think it's misguided. You can't build up by tearing down. Care for yourself first.
I was a young adult of the 1990s. Back then it seemed as if bands that got big really did come up from the bottom as they tended to hate being famous, Kurt Cobain being the most obvious example.
And then you've got artists like Jarvis Cocker (of Pulp) Skunk Anansie, the Manic Street Prechers.
I'm a Britpop kid at heart and there are some very well written, intelligent and political songs in that genre.
@@aetherialbeing4223 not just you i'm with you fully on that, and most of the stuff they claim about guys is stuff out of the guys control (dick size, how hot they are, etc) But they are all about body positivity.
Don't get me wrong, I think everyone should be able to work on their body and themselves to get themselves to a point where they love they love themselves and their body. Even straight white cis neurotypical young men.
Got a small dick? You are worthy of love
Got small breasts ? you are worthy of love
Got a large head that makes it hard to wear most hats? I am- I mean you are worthy of love.
And yes, they do seem to be fixed on sex, though I think that's more our culture then anything.
Every song, "man bed in bed"
Every tweet "am good in bed, sleep with me"
Like if most of your songs are about sex, then what the fuck bro? touch grass.
@@aetherialbeing4223 "by saying they’re bad in bed, have small penises etc etc while also complain about men wanting sex and shit and how men make comments like that about women" it's just attacking people for the thing that you think will hurt them the most, and yeah it's pretty incongruent with body positivity.
“we aren’t objects for sex but let’s brag about sex and how much we love it” this isn't hypocritical, though. the concept of women being sex objects is about their value to men, like their purpose is to please men. women can reject that and demand to be seen as people with agency and value, who don't exist just to be attractive and pleasing to men, and still be horny as fuck
If anyone is looking for the second kind, I highly recommend Tonight Alive.
Jenna McDougall (the lead) is super into empowerment for all genders really, but the band also tackles some more traditionally feminine issues in their music here and there.
Like "Lonely Girl" is about letting toxic friends go and finding yourself as a human being, but from a perspective that most men don't really go through in their lives. (Also it's a total JAM of a song)
But yeah overall she's just really into self-care and gender equality and all that, and the band as a whole supports a lot of female artists and such as well
I abolsutely LOVE how they're trying to appear as teens but then one of the members has been married for 7 years which makes them around 25 years old at minimum. gold
Who gives a shit really though? Its literally not your body
I REALLY thought you were going to say "Paige has had success... Dating her cousin" at the end there 🤣😂
💙I was intrigued because I had no idea any of this was happening. I learned a lot today that I didn't need to know but now I do. I don't regret it because its an Izzzyzzz video!💜
Was gonna post a comment like “THE TUMBLR STUFF WASNT REAL PLEASE I RESEARCHED THIS SO HARD” and thank god you addressed it
I do believe one of those accounts was actually real- 1-800-miss-ur-guts on tumblr. It was a fake stan account that didn't post any of the outrageous stuff, just a weird corporate imitation of "how fans of a band talk online". It did even have a wattpad account linked to it with a bad fanfic about the Tramp Stamps that was posted before this entire drama. I think they might've been hacked after the Bug Ass incident.
Honestly you can tell they're industry plants because of how fucking awkward and weirdly uncomfortable they look in their newly adopted aesthetic. Like it's so obvious based on that alone & them you include ALL the other evidence and it's kind of mind-blowing. x.x
old comment but every time they're sitting talking to the camera they look like they're on a zoom call rather than punk grrls having fun lmao
It's very similar to a few years back when being 'alt' was popular on tiktok, and every other (usually white) girl was buying black clothes and demonias or docs. Flash forward and they, like many predicted, quickly abandoned the 'aesthetic' once it wasn't in vouge. I'm happy tho since it means the clothes are finally going on sale and down in price. Those ppl also always looked like they're taking photos for their mom, so awkward 😅
I love that ‘pandering to Tumblr kids’ it’s considered an allegation lmao
Oh my gosh, that is an absolutely 10/10 makeup job this vid. It's not always for me (and it's never done just for me ofc) but I love this look! You pull it way off.
I appreciate Izzzyzzz for reminding us that they don't have to be cartoon villains to deserve criticism. Like, the fake posts can be debunked AND they have verifiably screwed up and not taken responsibility
Yeah, if Internet mobs are going to be judge, jury, and executioner for people's artistic careers, it's so important that the truth is widely known.
@@MolecularMachine "Internet mobs" can't do shit to someone's career other than provide bad publicity. The issue is that artists need to have "careers" and sell themselves.
Honestly she and ShoeOnHead are like some of the only content creators I know who care about presenting a balanced story
@@antonioscendrategattico2302 that is objectively untrue. not for this case but there sure are smaller creators who have been literally traumatized by mob harassment over any fault real or fake. Lindsey Ellis is a really good example.
@@ayanaalfonso5339 For smaller creators, yeah. Idk if Lindsay Ellis is a good example though - the harassment campaign was limited to a small number of people, it didn't damage her financiarily. It hurt her mental health, and that's bad, but there's a difference between someone like Ellis who's in good faith and cares and certain, ahem, other people complaining about "cancel culture".

This group look like Hot Topic models from circa 2002. I'm not saying that to be a hater, I'm saying that because I WAS THERE working for the company. If anything it's the biggest "tell" to me of how manufactured they are.
Izzy NAILED the look right down to the mesh undershirt and fuzzy hat and I can confirm it because this is how I used to dress, gems around the eyes and all!!!
Oh, and one more thing: the particular ant that got linked to the 'bug ass' meme that's shown on the "Anger Issues" image? That's known as a "Honeypot Ant." Mm-hmm, I see exactly what those three stale little sadsacks (or their management) are doing.
Honestly wish I could work at hot topic back when they sold usable things that would break so easily & fashionable , it’s so bad in comparison to now
@@kittycatgirl1139 Filled out 3 hot topic applications in teenage lifetime and they never called me back 😔
What's the honeypot supposed to be doing
Their look was definitely outdated. And although I am a 2001 baby that has no memory of the early 2000’s, I definitely remember seeing teens that looked like them in the mid 2000’s when the style was fizzling out. They could of at least looked up some tutorials on how to look like an eGirl or Pinterest posts about current styles :/
wait what about the honeypot ant? english isn't my first language so maybe i'm missing something?
so i actually followed Caro(carobae) as she goes by now, before she got in the band, so i already kind of knew what her style was supposed to be, pop, so having her switch her entire aesthetic that from what i thought wasn’t really her was off putting a bit, having caroline go back to her normal aesthetic and finally put out music that is good and interesting instead of it being manufactured makes my heart happy, because i know she wanted so badly to go back to being a pop
artist, and now that she’s switched back it kinda makes me feel like this whole TRAMP STAMPS thing was fake and manufactured when it didn’t match any of the artists styles or aesthetics, i’m glad this era seems to be over, i see a lot of people asking them to come back and idk if they’re trolls or not but i don’t want this back, i want genuine artists. not made up pop punk bands, i have no idea what the other two are up to now as i don’t follow them, but as a Caro fan, i’m glad this era seems to be over and she’s back to being her authentic self

*Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss!!!*
Not defending, but that “practice your instruments for decades” at 14:17 makes me think they didn’t ever intend to hide their actual ages. The rest of what was said about them seems true.
creased that their version of political punk was "i only have sex with men i do not like teehee #girlboss" like pretty sure i've heard more biting lyrical content from kero kero bonito
