What, you don't like my collection of glass bottles including a Perrier?

I feel like every touring musician with a mostly youth audience at least up into the 2010s was taking advantage of their underage fans. It just wasn't as big of a deal, culturally. I graduated in 2009 and had plenty of friends and classmates dating older people, and I do think it's creepy now as an adult but the adults in our lives at the time certainly didn't seem that bothered. The fact that some artists have been crucified over relatively benign behavior while others are still revered despite their repeated flagrant abuse of minors I think speaks more to the fan bases of those musicians than anything else. MSI and Brand New fans are more the types to hold people accountable for their actions than RHCP fans, for example.

They used to be, but lately idk, I'm too old to be keeping up with all the kids.

As another big fan, I don't think there's a single surprising allegation against Jimmy. When people tell you, repeatedly, who they are you gotta believe them.

It's definitely missing Gir and the Blink-182 Self Titled album logo.

Actually if we wanted to be pedantic, (and why else are we here?) we could argue this is too wide a spread and encompasses multiple mini-generations. For example I loved MSI and Foamy and Tenacious D, but I was already in high school when Pick of Destiny came out and likewise I hated Happy Tree Friends as I felt it was both awful and mostly for younger kids (who shouldn't have been watching it, but it beats rotten.com and some of the other early Internet stuff they missed the boat on, but I digress...) This covers a wide spread of the early and mid to late 2000s and that doesn't seem like much from an outside perspective but this was back when years felt a proper length.

I'm something of a man of culture myself.

I'm having a hard time finding a good picture, but I had a whole wall of Frankenstein Girls lyrics written in silver sharpie.

We get something from this one because it's his AI that he is constantly tweaking by training it on himself.

Sorry, I can't continue or provide the next lyrics of a copyrighted song. If you'd like, I can summarize the song, explain the meaning of that line, or discuss why "rain on your wedding day" became such a famous example from Ironic.

Nope, that happened. If the institution spying on you in your home sees you naked, in your own home where you foolishly expect privacy, you're a criminal.

But... But I have it on good authority that Cleveland rocks!
