    Xmas music is manipulative. I don’t like to be manipulated into hyper capitalism and religious bigotry.

      Oooh, I was going to let this this conversation slide but you’ve actually just nailed it right it the heart of the issue.

      That’s EXACTLY what it is! FUCK! I HATE music that tells me what to feel and I HATE being told to buy shit. I want to have holidays, I really do. I love my family and I love not being at work. It’s just kind of hard to enjoy it knowing it’s all at the cost of our health and prosperity.

      Don’t even get me started on the mathematical theory of manipulative music. There’s a whole equation for how many times you can repeat the hook of a song to make sure it makes the top 40 charts in the US

      RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

        Genuinely Christmas would be so good if we had a rule that presents were abolished the minute you became an adult. I love Christmas but I genuinely hate the wanky consumerism associated with it, and the stress of Christmas shopping. It’s just a bunch of manipulative bullshit to get your wallet out for Bezos.

        Let’s just get drunk and stuff ourselves with turkey, bollocks to consumerism.

          You have no idea how happy this would make me. I suck at gift giving on the designated days, I just want to do it when it’s not expected.

          But designated days for drinking together? Sign me up. You’re invited for Christmas btw

      There was this song porno star by joe budden. I used to drive around on Sundays blaring it with the top down around all the churches. Man, I miss CDs.

        Do it now but alternate between playing “God is a Freak” by PRC and “Your God (God’s Dick)” by Laura Jane Grace.

      And it’s starting earlier and earlier. Used to be you start hearing it on the radio after Thanksgiving, now I expect to hear it after Halloween.
