It starts out like you\u2019d expect - more PC generation wars, this time in a punk context, and then you visit the callout/boycott site they mention, <a href=\"https://tmblr.co/mmOvUKjN8xA66mP0m6nTMmQ\" target=\"_blank\">@boycott924gilmanstreet</a>, and even when you read the callout post it starts out like you expect like</p><p>- this place books bands with lyrics that valorize rape culture and don\u2019t support our mission of providing a safer space<br/></p><p>- and they didn\u2019t really care about bathrooms and trans-frendliness<br/></p><p>and then it takes a jag and for a while it\u2019s like</p><p>- AND THOSE FUCKERS BOOKED GREEN DAY, THE MAJOR LABEL SELLOUTS!</p><p>and fucking record scratch and that is ~*~AMAZING~*~</p><p>not least because it\u2019s the first attempt I\u2019ve seen by censorious-liberationist forces to <a href=\"/post/123330745893/\" target=\"_blank\">lay their own claim to legitimacy as heirs of the \u201890s</a>. And it\u2019s not a bad one!<br/></p><p>also, also, \u201cforced fingerbanging\u201d. That\u2019s this amazing wreck of a phrase that\u2019s a synecdoche of this whole generation gap, the \u201cforced\u201d starting out in the modern harm/consent idiom but then realizing midair that no one\u2019s going to go for what, the clinico-punitive \u201cdigital penetration\u201d? and they\u2019ll have to use the earthy Dirt Punk \u201cfingerbang\u201d<br/></p>"}
