I disagree. Dude was always a poser. Maybe if he didn’t pretend to be someone/something he wasn’t. But his entire schtick was pretending to be this edgy hardcore emo kid… but that was all just a costume & a ploy to get attention.. which is why he didn’t last. He never had it to begin with. There’s a reason why X is still such a popular artist even years after he passed away & why he still has over 36 million monthly listeners on Spotify. It’s because he wasn’t a poser. He was authentic & that resonated with all of us. He understood us & we understood him. He was writing about real shit from his own personal experiences. Authenticity is more important than anything these days because it’s so rare to find. Mario Judah doesn’t have an authentic bone in his body. All he does is scheme to get views & clicks because he can’t do it by actually writing good, relatable music that came from his own experiences… he’s been larping as a SoundCloud rapper since day one. He was never going to succeed & he never will because of this.

As a kid, I used iTunes to listen to all of my music.

I remember seeing the U2 album and being very confused because nobody in my household liked U2 and I barely knew who they were. I tried removing the album and I couldn't. The hide feature that Matty mentioned was very glitchy and a lot of the time, the album would just reappear again. Worst part is, my parents thought I bought the album with their money and were mad at me for it.

Faking domestic abuse or any other abuse to try to sell your music while others are really suffering for real is pathetic. It’s making a mockery of the ones who been through it. Now you see why people don’t come forward cuz of stuff like this.

I wonder what you would think about the marketing behind some of the 80s hardcore scene? "The singer of this band founded the gang you just jumped in to. They're your favorite band now." And Hatebreed is today's equivalent of those bands. Kids are smarter than they were in my day.

6:10 That U2 themed IPod, I remember seeing a video where Mike Mozart got a bootleg version of the same U2 IPod in NYC, the differences between the real and fake ones is that the bootleg one is thicker, and it had a sticker on the back where all the signatures from each U2 member were that said "Beautiful MP3 Player", and a Made in China sticker.

That U2 Album still pops u randomly even though I keep removing it on every single device I've had since this goddam album dropped. The amount of times I've linked my phone to my car or speaker and this album just starts playing. I'm sure they're nice guys and make music that a lot of people love, but I just can't hear their name without feeling a pang of annoyance about this album that keeps haunting me almost 10 years later.
