Usually, I approach literary criticism majors with a mix of pity and disdain: pity, because unlike me, they won’t get a cushy software engineering job right out of college where they get to listen to deathcore on Spotify all day while looking cool to all the comm-major hotties in marketing after saving the corporate website when WordPress takes a shit; disdain, because they are steeped in critical theory and thus are the source of all “social justice” TumblrFggtry.
BTW: EMMURE has a video for “MDMA,” and it has hella yellowbellies in it.
Sometimes, though, they are like a mysterious Gray Knight (alignment: Lawful Neutral) who enters out of nowhere to bring the Hammer of Dubious Relevance down on the enemies of Righteous Wiggerdom only to vanish into the ether from whence they came. Such is the case when one faggot IMN with a stick up his ass attacked Frankie Palmieri for a lack of “lyrical artistry a la Chino Moreno” in “Drug Dealer Friend” (The “I wanna watch you suck his dick” song) only to be deftly counter-attacked by the Partisans of Thanos:
I WANNA WATCH YOU ENGAGE IN INTELLECTUAL DISCOURSE
Wat u think? Is Thanos operating on another level? Do we even know him, and if not, do you think we ever will? Does it even fucking matter so long as the jamz are sick?
Wow, I’m surprised the word “pleb” wasn’t used. This is /mu/ levels of musicfaggotry.
Also LOL @ Emmure censoring all of the visible brand names in the video
imo it’s a postmodern metaphor about how the meat industry treats animals as their bitches and might as well just make animals suck each others dicks.
hmmm.. what does meat mean to me??
Well, that depends a lot on the cultural factors involved! Being an everybody’s a winner white night leftist, I of course vouch for all morality being culturally relative, because we MUST respect diversity! That being said, when eaten by white people, meat is oppressive bigotry, but when eaten by YOU, my human spirit embodied in in a male gendered Chicano American body, it’s a celebration of cultural heritage!
As a vegan, I can confirm this is definitely what he is saying.
I thought it was about faggots trying to fit in the srscore scene?
90% of youtube comments infuriate/confuse me. The rest are pretty funny. This is under the confuse section.
They’re funny when they’re ridiculously stupid. I.E, the following comments always make me lol.

lolz gayness tee hee
My exact thoughts.
I think these guys are just having fun, I would like to see more of this kind of civil discourse on Youtube comments
‘i, for one, appreciate your commitment to standards of conduct befitting a modern-day genteleman’
I’m really digging this song. HHNNNGGG
mirin’ dat KREAYSHAWN lookalike in the MDMA vid.
Groce brah. She doesn’t look like kreay.
more lika YouTuba
btw literary criticism is fine and provides you with a very practical life skill if you’ve mastered it: you can be a major dick to practically anybody (regardless of intellect os status) and still looking at least halfway intelligent all the time. You know if world = text, and you have the tools to deconstruct text you can deconstruct anything, hence the art of trolling. Just ask the Sarge. Even tho he’d probably hatemosh my face off for insinuating he’s well-versed in pomo litcrit. :)
Whoa the ghost of Proust is on the internet
I’ve been called a lot of things but a dead gay Frenchman might be the new low lol.
Not even your final form.
Read dat last part as if it were part of the song, drums and all. Not sorry.
I love how you’ve got all the bros chilling at the beginning and then when the vocals come in THANOS REIGNZ walks in from nowhere and is all liek ‘DONT MIND ME GUISE JST WORKING OUT SOME HEAVY EMOTIONAL SHIT THRU MAI MUSIC’
lol. The bros that look his way are like “jus leav him be, bruh, feel 4 him in his tiem of need”
notice how after combat was engaged, the IMN used the word “fellatio” and not, sucking dicks, as the challenger said. just like “deduce”. really like how he tries to assume the superior position in the debate by trying to seem more intelectual, even though his content is lacking. Which really shows in the tl;dr, he even admits the lack of content himself. Which, of course, boils down to ‘huu i dont lik emmur’ and our literary criticism major bro neatly points out, that that’s his fucking problem, and not Emmure’s.
The aesthetics of this video are poor. Very poor.
yes i concur yellow bellies are nasty as fuck… i would rather drink bum piss (natty ice/earthquake/budweiser/shlitz malt liqour) den dose….
I’m sorry, bro, I guess it’s just a White thing–you wouldn’t understand. Like how I don’t understand Chelada.
As a lit major who somehow turned into a marketing girl, not sure how to feel. :/ I do like that the commenter assumes it is “not too far fetched” for an Emmure song to be on the same level as T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land.”
You should feel that you made the right choice.
By the way, can you grab me a Coke Zero on your way back to your desk? Thanks.
Lyrics can’t matter to me. Especially when I mainly listen to music with screaming lyrics. I can’t and won’t spend all day on lyrics365 figuring out what thanos is talking about. If I can understand them and they reach out and grab me, so be it.
charlie brown ur my hero!!!!!

I never get tired of emmure.
Thanos must be a very strange man
first and last “Early 20th Century Modernism” tag on SYWH
I know I have used ‘mid-century modernism’ before when discussing typography, architecture and furniture.
While there are some very early pioneers like jan tschichold (whose ideas were really only half-baked) that I like, and de stijl had their moments, I personally feel like modernism didn’t come into its own until the Germans and Swiss became the standardbearers in the 40s and 50s… in particular I love Wolfgang Weingart’s adventurous, idiosyncratic take on it and the dry wit that Karl Gerstner added to that usually stuffy, super-srs scene.
wat
…mirin?
ONLY NAEF MODULON IS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<3 mdma…but only 2-3 times a year!!! youtube or emmure or people are not even relevant considering mdmmama
Molly is sooo 2011…I only dabble in test chems like 3-TCi-Hydrochloric Benzopaloid with my friends over high grav home brews while dogging on Bukowski
sad that I know people who have non-ironically said this in almost those exact words ;[
That feel, I am aware of it
Free bait 4 to trolling…

if yall are as curious as Axl Rosenberg is.
MDMA sounds like poison the well mixed with deftones, the spoken parts are really cool and i bet the screamed parts say really dumb shit, but it’s the first emmure track i’ve listened and liked, actually i really like it. hope emmure does more tracks like this.
Reposting my comment from Metalsucks’ repost:
“See, there’s so much depth there! The breakdowns are a defense mechanism. Behind the crushing heaviness and wigger posturing Frankie is a small, vulnerable man in a world gone mad. He clings to Street Fighter because it’s the last remnant of the more innocent time he remembers from his childhood.”
Modernism is still alive and well. James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf… THANOS REIGNZ.

Shit. I usually look at literary criticism majors with a thobbing boner.
This is exactly why I have userscripts blocking youtube comments. This is the first emmure song that I liked btw.
I only have a high-school degree.
