Dramacow Sam Ray / @fugazi420 / Teen Suicide / Ricky Eat Acid - Egotistical emo musician who really hates the alt right.

[InLivingTuna]

Today on Twitter some verified nobody with the handle of @fugazi420 randomly attacked Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop.

After a bit of back and forth between him and Fantano fans, the people watching this unfold discovered that he has his DMs open, which led to some interesting moments:

Spoiler

Eventually he started getting actually angry at the people fucking with him. Notice the salt in his replies to these two individuals:

It took a while to figure out who @fugazi420 was. In the bio, they link to the bandcamp page for the band Teen Suicide. That band has several members according to Wikipedia, though lucky for us Sam Ray posted a selfie in the midst of everything letting us know who it is.

So who is Sam Ray? Hitting up Wikipedia again, he's not only the frontman of Teen Suicide he also has his own solo project, Ricky Eat Acid. The Ricky Eat Acid account has apparently been abandoned after a hack, so most of the salt he's been posting is on fugazi420, even though it's obsensibly his band's Twitter. Speaking of salt, holy fuck does Sam get angry. I'm surprised this account flew under the radar for so long considering how much he tweets about Trump.

Spoiler: some of the funnier tweets

Also he apparently got really mad at @Teridax (wish I could have seen the other side of this)

There's probably more dumb shit waiting to be found on his Twitter, this dude spergs like a motherfucker. And in case anyone was doubting at this point, his music is terrible too. To get the most out of the Sam Ray experience, pick any of these and listen to them until you get a headache. Shouldn't take long.

Is there any truth to Fantano being "alt right"? I've never heard of him mentioning politics at all, though I don't watch his videos.

He's p centrist, although he hangs around the people like Sam Hyde and Sargon so dumb people think he's a "sexist" or whatever.

When? Carl Benjamin and Sam Hyde aren't centrists, but he doesn't necessarily share their politics just because he associates with them.

 

[InLivingTuna]

When?

they were on his podcast

The name "fugazi420" alone tells me he sucks.

Can anyone summarise those podcasts? I don't have time to listen to 3 hours of content.

This guy used to spam his shitty music on /mu/ in like 2013

Guilt by association.
Also he's sexist because he doesn't like feminism, and likes Trigglypuff memes, obviously.
Sam Ray is a whiteknight faggot, and I would not have sex with him.

Holy fuck music and art is way harder than just doing it, or loving it. I really, really love music. I love it. I kinda went to art school because it was the only thing anyone told me I was any good at. Im a fucking hipster.

The greats make it look easy, that's why theyre fucking great.

This guy makes it look like it's a blight on humanity that never should have been imagined. It's like if, when humans were trying to learn to speak they decided all they should do is different tones and octaves of fart noises and decided that was good enough. Fucking stop, dude, it's all toilet noises.

Especially when you get into the big leagues, when your livelihood depends on being able to do it, it's an entirely different ball game. It's like the fucking Super Bowl except instead of winning every February, you have to win every week, if not every day. Anyone can do art, music, anyone can make it. You have to LITERALLY be great, in the pure literary sense of the word, to really do anything with it.

Just by even trying to don the name of musician or artist, youre doing a disservice to not only the craft of each, but the people who actually DO each, who--if anyone can make a career out of that--they deserve IMMENSE respect, because that's like winning the lottery, only theyve done it through their own hard work and talent.

TL;DR:
I could a-log and get real power-level-y, but Im listening to some random shit on youtube now, and, just as a TL;DR I want to post what I'm listening to in comparison to what this dude puts out as music.

Without words, without condescension. I'll make my argument through simple comparison alone. My shit's not gonna be everyone's taste, but you can hear the care, the effort put in compared to what this dude puts out.

It's the difference between art and art students.

Radio Dept, some indie hipster shit I found on Youtube:

The dude in the OP everybody knows is bad, but this is just about HOW bad:

I listened to more of his shit and I guess he got friends and better equipment but the base problems are still there. Even a one man band can make it, look up Astronautalis.

 

[The Fool]

I honestly don't hate his music. A little off-beat but it's got some merit. Some of it I can even see myself listening to every now and then. Definitely not perfect but it's not ear rape or anything. More like, abnormal ambient/vaporwave shit.
The rest of him is a faggot though and I wouldn't even pirate his music.

Who does that? Let me guess, he'd do cringy shit like name some good groups then list some actually good people and then his own shit.

 

[ExtremelyWokeAnimeTitty]

I'm surprised it took the hipster music community so long to tear apart Fantano. He called Anita shit back in, what, 2013?

Also lol @ one of the OP caps mentioning G.L.O.S.S.; really generic-ass hardcre punk band that music media tries to shill as SO IMPORTANT because the is a trans antifa with extremely woke views like like "Christians were responsible for the Orlando shooting" https://twitter.com/SadieSwitch666/status/744787122515648512 and "LGBT people should enact violent vengeance upon the cishets" https://twitter.com/SadieSwitch666

Indie music culture is a cancerous shitpile

It's not that surprising. Most fans of indie music don't even know who Anita Sarkeesian is, much less care.

Oh , this is really funny. This dude's been making music for a while, and back when Teen Suicide first started up, he was actually known for being an antagonistic asshole to fans and "haters" (i.e. people on tumblr who didn't care for his music) a lot, calling people trannies and shit. He was on a shit ton of drugs at the time though, unsure if he actually cleaned up, but from what I recall he attributes his past views to that. Wish I had sources on this but it's been a long ass time. Interesting that he's become even more the average sad indie white boy stereotype now, I kinda liked his moxie back in 2011/2012.

Drugs don't turn you into a racist, just make you dumb enough to act that way in public.

:powerlevel: but I used to love Teen Suicide in 2011-13. I never expected to see him on the Farms, especially not as a cow but I never knew much about him besides his music.

I mean, yeah, fuck this dude.

 

[InLivingTuna]

He deleted all of his tweets from yesterday and wrote a long ass apology. I'm not really sure what he means when he talks about "his audience" or his "positive voice" since that was never the issue but whatever. Given that we've established his track record of acting arrogant, I doubt he's really going to clean up his act for good.
