Maybe Billy really does read Netphoria, would really be a double whammy in regards to why he feels the need to publicly ridicule you and your site.

I mean it's a pretty shitty look for ole Bill. Big-time spoiled rock-star going out of his way to publicly attack a young man who built up his website independently from the ground up into a success, while still pretty much running the thing on his own. Hard to see the rationale behind his statements

"I’ve seen Billy talk in his Instagram story Q&A’s about mental health issues and how society needs to stop with the dehumanizing insults and bullying, so instead of exchanging shots I am going to link to the Stomp Out Bullying help chatline and the Depression Text Hotline if there’s anybody reading this who needs to talk to someone. Alternative Nation still loves you Billy, but maybe you should practice what you preach! We can all do better."



5 Stars Brett.

That's a good reaction, Buttcannon.

It's one thing if we give you shit here for your "revealing" clickbait nonsense headlines, with an audience of what, 100 boarders around. But Bully going after you by name and by name calling like a school yard bully, with an army of ready-to-attack instagram followers, is something else.

And for what, because your reader numbers of the D'arcy story are higher than his Shiny album sales numbers?

A 40 year old millionaire rock star took time out to write that, and thought it would make him seem like the victim.

Thanks for the reaction from you guys to what I wrote. Yesterday was kind of a rough day for me, especially realizing that I'll never go to a Pumpkins show again after what he said, and I'd planned on going later this month. He lost a lifelong fan with that, somebody who actually did support his music and shows, contrary to what he said. I just wasn't a sycophant.

But when I think about it more, like what you guys said, he just sounds ridiculous. He's a 52-year old multimillionaire writing that stuff about some guy in his 20's he does not know? It's one thing to mock the site like you guys said, it's another to say what he did on a personal attack level, especially with what he says all the time about bullying and social media. If he keeps going after me though, I'll just keep linking to anti-bullying and mental health websites. Not going to get into that kind of negative back and forth. He can wallow in that himself.

Billy’s a child. You’re just now figuring that out?

He’s a man child who surrounded himself with brilliant people for two albums and we got two brilliant albums. That’s all there is to it.

And if this is how he acts towards total strangers over the internet, just for having an opinion... imagine what it must be like for people who work with him who are susceptible to his lawsuits and NDA threats.

You're handling it perfectly by rising above it. Although if you had the money behind you it would be delicious to see Billy get rolled over for libel / slander.

Congrats, Brett. You join a long line of decent folk nuked by Billy to maintain the ego that powers him. It’s a noble sacrifice.

I recommend Car Seat Headrest as a replacement for the Pumpkins in your life. They still actually enjoy what they do.

Fucking nailed it dude.

Billy taking shots at Brett is ridiculously petty. Like dude you’re touring in one of the biggest bands in the world, you have a family, you’re a grown man. How do you even have the time to worry about what Brett writes about you? Get over it.

Only the Trumps and Corgans of the world could be sitting on millions of dollars with endless fame but still give a shit about what’s being said about them on the internet.

You just severely outclassed an incredibly successful man more than twice your age with how you publicly responded. And, no offense, but that’s more sad for Billy than it is a compliment to you. We SP fans in our 30s and 40s have been watching Billy meltdown like this and embarrass himself over minor ego slights for years. It’s really just pathetic. Fucking get over it, Bill. You have enough money to buy an island and never interact with the media again if you hate it so much.

We were young and the music was still good. It was before Billy’s insanity got too obvious in public. We thought he was the real deal. Now we are just disappointed. Over and over again.

We are the grown up teenagers of the 90s. We are Netphoria.

I think we can all agree that Billy is a narcissist. It’s only natural for him to lash out at someone that “slights “ him, viciously. It’s a great study in psychology. It’s not personal. Irregardless, it’s a little over the top behavior and the right thing to do would be to stand taller and be the bigger person. Because as much as you’re thinking about it, he’s stewing in it too, as evidenced by how he made multiple posts against you. He has to blame somebody for the Darcy situation - might as well be you. He ain’t gonna blame himself!!

You should go to the show, get a press pass and interview him. That would be classy. Hilarities would ensue, I’m certain!

I came very close to running into him at the KROQ Christmas show last December. I was in the VIP press area, and they had an area where they were interviewing people playing. I think Billy and James were interviewed maybe 15-30 minutes after me and my friend went to our seats. I'd still interview him, but I won't go to a show ever again as a fan unless he apologizes to me, which will NEVER happen.

How is it an insult, the dude is literally a hack, wanna-be-journalist and a huckster. He posts daily misleading headlines pulled from the most meaningless exchanges to trick idiots into clicking so some Google ad algorithm will give him a few bucks. That's his whole existence. Imagine how sad, lazy, and morally bankrupt you have to be to do that around the clock.

It's who you are, own it. Don't act like it's some huge insult when people notice and state the fact.

If I was a ratfucker I wouldn't get all misty eyed and act offended when someone called me one. I'd tip my cap and look for the next rat.

It's really mind boggling. He also doesn't realize that if I told D'arcy what he said about me, she would absolutely obliterate him, but I have no interest in telling her about silly Pumpkins shit unless she asks what's going on.

That's the thing though, it's one thing for Trump to go after a billion dollar company like The New York Times, but here you have Billy going after an enthusiastic 20 something music fan who's managed to make a living off of his website. It's a completely different ball of wax. I mean, what's the point of publicly doing that? It does not make him look good.

He's obviously butthurt that Brett and Alternative Nation gave D'arcy a platform to give her side of the story. Billy probably assumed D'arcy would go about things in silence, just as she had the previous 20 years.

Though I have little interest in the whole click-bait thing, one would have to be an idiot to believe that Brett is the only guy doing it. Tons of big music sites do the same shit and you don't hear a peep from Billy about them. Even Rolling Stone does a lot of stupid click-bait shit.

*Whispers*
The entire internet does it and nearly all digital media outlets empahsize the importance of headlines, SEO and searchable keywords

Remember when everyone trashed reality TV when Survivor started and then 15 different copycat shows emerged and everyone just got immune to it? Sort of the same thing.
