People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No bullying or international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

Where they really that big of a deal? They had that one song that was a tie into that forgettable Ben Affleck Daredevil movie.

They pushed their way into the Christian market but claimed not to be a Christian band, in the Bring me to life/ My Immortal release they managed to get a pretty wide audience. Bring me to life, was pretty unique and haunting at the time.

Coldplay studied this, learned from their mistakes and then mastered the art of claiming to be a christian band while simultaneously claiming to not be a christian band

They used to be really good!

They still are now, but they used to be too.
