Episode 9 2: An Update on the Fall of Jacksfilms

Read episode 9 before you read this one. Well, I guess you don't have to, but you probably should. It's like the Cobra Kai show; you can understand it and enjoy it without first watching the Karate Kid movies, but watching the Karate Kid movies first will make you appreciate the show so much more.

Yesterday, Jacksfilms uploaded a video called "Why I Hate Jacksfilms.". In this video, he pretends to be a new character named Captain Butthurt, of a fictional webseries called Content Complainer. Captain Butthurt complains about how Jacksfilms is so centered around YIAY, and the whole video is him complaining about YIAY and recent Jacksfilms content. Sound familiar? Yeah, in episode 9, I complained about the exact same things.

Which one of you told Jack? I'm not letting class out until whoever did it fesses up. The bell doesn't dismiss you; I do. Just kidding, lol. I'm 98% certain Jack has no idea I wrote that blog or even knows that Mr. Hardy Saves The World is a blog that exists.

I didn't like this video. Call me Captain Butthurt, but that was kind of a shitty thing to do on his part. The people who complain about YIAY, at least most of them, aren't baseless haters Jack should just dab on - they're fans who have some genuine criticisms. Old Jack wouldn't have responded like this, he would've either used the opportunity to make some self-deprecating sketch or would've accepted criticism and suggestions and worked to make his content better. Instead, his response to real criticism is not to learn, but to mock the critics.

Ranking Every Concert I Went To In 2024

  As of this writing, it is September 28, 2024. I have been to six concerts this year. As October seems to be the last month of the year that most bands really do shows (because concerts don't really happen in the winter very much), and October is too close to really get tickets and set up another day to see a concert, I'm pretty sure I'm unfortunately done with concerts for the year. Six is a great number to cap it off on, and I'm excited to see what bands I see in 2025.    So, since my 2024 concert season is (presumably) over, I thought I'd take a little bit to rank all six concerts I went to. 6. Taking Back Sunday  -Opener(s): Citizen -Date: June 12, 2024 - Venue: Mission Ballroom   Let me just first say that it breaks my heart to rank this one last, because I loved it. It's only at the bottom because I can't justify any of the other five being below it. I went with my best friend, and it so cool to see such an iconic emo/alternative band surrounded by so...

The Linkin Park Situation

Image
   In 2017, the music world was shaken with the terrible news that Chester Bennington, lead vocalist and frontman of Linkin Park, had committed suicide. Linkin Park broke up, and for the following years they sporadically dropped unreleased songs and anniversary releases and stuff.    Jump to fairly recently, and they announced they're coming back. They've already released a single, announced an album and tour dates, and are already performing. Mike Shinoda, the guy who did co-lead vocals with Chester Bennington, is still doing co-lead vocals, but now they've also got this new singer, Emily Armstrong, who apparently also sings for a band called Dead Sara.     And she's controversial. For two reasons. The first thing is that she supported Danny Masterson when he was first on trial for his rape charges. Armstrong was apparently one of the people who showed up in his defense. However, she has addressed this, and said that she soon realized she shouldn't ha...

Tours Through Discographies: Green Day

Image
   I finally saw Green Day the other night! I loved the show so much I have made the decision that they are now my #1 favorite band (sorry, Bastille). Not every album is great, but the ones that are great are more than great - they're legendary.    I know I don't shut up about American Idiot, but it's not even just that one. Dookie, Nimrod, 21st Century Breakdown, and even the newest one, Saviors, are arguably just as legendary. They've created literal stories with their music, maintained their relevance since the eighties and on, and their literally in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Plus, all three of them are insanely talented. My sister even said that she liked that Billie Joe Armstrong sounds live exactly like he does in recordings.    I was gonna break this one into two different parts since they have a whopping fourteen albums and counting, but screw it: I'm just gonna do a really big episode! 1. 39/Smooth (1990)    ...
