I want to dig Speedy Ortiz but they dont grab me.

I was going to check them out when they played w ex hex (another band I feel I should like but don't) but my kid got sick and I had to go home - I did hear the opening band Flashlights, who I love now.

SO is coming by again and I might go. It won't cost much.

Didn't say it was sexist that's not the point at all.

Just bands with masculine front men sound like Nickleback

bullshit, why are you trying to turn "masculine" into something negative.

Is Josh Homme not masculine? does Qotsa sound like Nickelback?
ffs elph.

Homme's voice makes it really hard for me to enjoy that band, yes

Masculinity in music is just funny to me I'm sorry

It's a huge amount of rock vocalists. Rock with a capital R is a genre practically defined by androgyny

a couple of years ago someone asked me "what i thought about girls in rock bands" or something along those lines

i thought it was the stupidest question ever at the time, why would anyone even think about that, i didn't discriminate between portishead, no doubt, kate bush, whoever else i was listening to at the time with bands who had more guys in them or whatever, it was a true "none story" but then ever since that i've been somewhat more aware of it or something

there may be an overlap in the "core" energy sometimes but it's more the boundaries or reaches that differ a lot more, when they indeed differ

homme sings largely in a higher register with relatively common use of falsetto from what i remember

in what world is that stereotypically "masculine"

yeah there are some winking jabs at... machismo or something i guess? or whathaveyou, in things like i'm designer, but wow, clearly a fucking joke

Homme sings in a falsetto from time to time but mostly he uses his natural range which is a baritone. He sometimes gets compared to Jack Bruce as a singer. I would say his style of singing for the most part is very masculine.

i mean, practically every time i've listened to anything with homme it's been in this



general range, so honestly, i don't really know what you're talking about. feel good hit of the summer or something, maybe? or i don't know, i guess leg of lamb is a little lower technically, but far from being "overtly masculine"

show some examples or i'll never be convinced!

It is fitting that a guy called Homme should sound masculine. Would have been more ironic if he hadn't though.

I defintiely find QOTSA too macho for me. Overall, not just vocally.

Games are played for 40 minutes with complete strangers as a hobby it's not like I'm going to my place of work like Westbrook is

Also MOBA's aren't as toxic as people say they are the types of people who play them are incredibly diverse

Edit: And "Go play sports" was meant as a joke btw

I think in general people just think i'm a shitstain. What i say about qotsa is irrelevant.

You don't think Westbrook goes home and tells his friends he would have won that last game if he was on a better team? Of course he doesn't say things like that at his place of work
