Is The 1975 'new' punk after the kiss in Malaysia?

In its most basic definition, Punk music is a manifestation of the rebellious, anti-authority punk subculture that peaked in the second half of the 1970s, primarily in the US and the UK. Not just a music genre, but punk is more of an attitude, a philosophy, and a whole way of being.

Sure it doesn't sound like punk music, but they sure as hell ripped a massive middle finger at authority.

The guitarist, Matty Healy, is a racist piece of shit and nothing he ever does is punk. He masturbates to black women being degraded and dehumanized. Fuck him and fuck anyone bringing him or his band up.

Do you have a source for that?

I hadn't even heard of these guys before the Malaysia news so cool your jets there buddy.

Ok yep, sounds like he's just a provocateur.

Masturbating to black women being raped and brutalized is not being a provocateur. It's being a white supremacist. Fuck you op for defending white supremacy

As charming as the production company name 'Ghetto Gaggers' sounds, it wasn't really something I wanted to look up, however; I can tell you one thing. Those women weren't raped. They are paid adult performers. Probably not a good idea to appropriate the rape word because it doesn't apply. Women get raped for real every day and it's best not to water down the impact of the word.

I recommend looking up the "ethics" in the porn industry before claiming those women weren't raped.

Yeah no their whole shtick is they lie to women and don't tell them what fucked up shit they are going to do to them. They are targeting homeless and poor women who have little choices for earning money and then brutalize dehumanize and rape them. What the fuck is wrong with you defending this and what the fuck is wrong with the seven people who upvoted you. Nice to see white supremacy and rape culture alive and well on lemmy.

Can you provide a source for this? Makes it easier to moderate if you can back up what you're saying.

Are you a moderator here? Because it's deeply fucking concerning that people who think shit like this is ok and punk rock and being a provocateur is allowed here and hasn't been banned yet.
