You idiots have ruined the word snowflake. I hope you feel good about yourselves, though I'm pretty sure you do.

Either you let politics get in the way of liking music or you just hate Audioslave. I'm not sure which is worse...but to say Audioslave is "shitty music" is laughable. You're entitled to your opinion but nobody should ever take your opinion seriously.

I don't hate Audioslave, but I was pretty disappointed by it. We Got the Whip should have made the cut.

My favorite bands of all time:

Pink Floyd
Ministry
Tool
My Morning Jacket


So no, I obviously don't allow politics to dictate my music enjoyment. I also don't "hate" Audioslave, but I do find their music to be bland and gimicky. I'm glad you like them though.

My issue with them is that they are making a political statement by "reuniting" in some wasted protest of our next POTUS. That they believe themselves to be that important shows their narcissism and over inflated opinion of their music. Most people have forgotten that they even existed. But, you know, snowflakes gonna snowflake

Then don't. You just keep on continuing to discredit others' opinions for no reason other than they dislike shitty music that you enjoy

The Anti-Inaugural Ball is a celebration of resistance. Resistance to racism. Resistance to sexism. Resistance to homophobia. Resistance to bullying. Resistance to environmental devastation. Resistance to fascism. Resistance to Donald Trump. We are staring down the barrel of a dystopian nightmare unless we act NOW, unless we fight back NOW. We intend to create “No Trump Zones” across the country; in our homes, our schools, our places of work, and our concert stages. Bad Presidents make for great music. Join us as we get loud and stand together to defend our rights, our country, and our planet.

I guess GWB was a great president, because you certainly didn't make "great music."

How does anyone take these clowns seriously?

Never said that I liked them.

Who cares? If Pink Floyd (assuming all original members alive) reunited to play at this thing, would you go?

Again, I never said I enjoy Audioslave. In fact, I've never once played a song by them on Spotify. But that doesn't mean I consider their music as "shitty." They put out a couple of decent albums and have some talented artists. You missed the point.

And I actually agree with you that this anti-inaugural crap is dumb. But that and your opinion of what should be considered good music should be mutually exclusive.

Truth. "Not my thing" is much different than "It's shitty!"

That's how the neo-conservative fake media portrays him for sure.

All of RATM are commies. Cornell is an extreme leftist too, it just doesn't show in his music as much.

He's got the "rich guy detached from reality" leftist socialist thing going on.

I like their music and can ignore the political side. If I disliked every delusional artist who lapped up politics not to my liking I would have very few choices.
