My inner monologue brought up a "um wait it's fine actually" intrusive thought about No Fear's talking about needing a purge, so I've added some explanation on why I think that interpreting it as reactionary rhetoric is more backed than it being general emo misanthrophy because of how the song and rest of the album are framed. Sometimes intrusive thoughts make counterarguments which are worth taking down.
Also finally posted my Empty Lot Travellogue...which was immediately proven wrong by Max Green himself which I'm more than happy about.
But wait. There's more! I also thought it'd be fun to pair this with a little contest for engagement, so here's the deal: email / DM me a screenshot of your filled out bingo cards by the 14th. Whoever has the most checked off is entitled to either a review of the vaguely scene/metal/punk-adjacent album of their choice or a flatcolor fullbody art request of whatever they want. Let's see how much Ronnie would hate us.
