  • The deleted thread on ![reddit-logo](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/4aac8007-876f-4c7f-936d-b7eabf506ef4.png "emoji reddit-logo") here

    The state of the band is pretty disgusting right now. People reportedly getting robbed at some venues, several different women writing SA experiences at different concerts of theirs, an admitted crowd killer showed up in the subreddit to brag the other week after punching a woman in the face and throwing a damn garbage can into the crowd. Most recently the band walked off after being pelted with a phone and glowsticks. Haven't heard of anything insane happening at their Austin City Limits performance the other night yet.

    Sucks that a group that I've just straight-up enjoyed the music of since 2014ish has attracted such memetic, look-at-me kids nowadays. Feel like such a boomer shaking my fists at younger generations, but the COVID lockup really fucked some of these children up etiquette-wise.

    I always knew liking Death Grips was a little bit of a red flag to others, but with all of this happening, I feel like I have to say I've barely heard of them, at this point. Which is sad, to me. I've got some vinyl of their's, I've got an Exmilitary shirt (that I don't think I can wear in public anymore)…

    Same thing happened to me with the Gorillaz. I loved them early on, when they were first on Toonami and shit, but their fan base just became so insufferable, I distanced myself from seeing the band. Dunno if I can go to a Death Grips show with a straight face anymore - IF they even decide to tour again. Big if.
