QuoteThis article examines the symbolic whiteness associated with pumpkins in the contemporary United States. Starbucks' pumpkin spice latte, a widely circulated essay in McSweeney's on "Decorative Gourd Season," pumpkins in aspirational lifestyle magazines, and the reality television show Punkin Chunkin provide entry points into whiteness–pumpkin connections. Such analysis illuminates how class, gender, place, and especially race are employed in popular media and marketing of food and flavor; it suggests complicated interplay among food, leisure, labor, nostalgia, and race. Pumpkins in popular culture also reveal contemporary racial and class coding of rural versus urban places. Accumulation of critical, relational, and contextual analyses, including things seemingly as innocuous as pumpkins, points the way to a food studies of humanities and geography. When considered vis-à-vis violence and activism that incorporated pumpkins, these analyses point toward the perils of equating pumpkins and whiteness.

If that much can be written about pumpkins, think about what could be written about watermelon or fried chicken.

I guess it comes down what kind of band you want to be a fan of?  A band that is sincerely dangerous and sketchy in multiple ways in their private life for the complete package, or safer people referred to as 'hardcore' because they wear black clothes, socially drink, do drugs, come up with 'dark' riffs, and create various 'depressing' and 'nihilistic' album covers.  I'm sure there were yacht rock artists in the 70s that led way gnarlier lifestyles than some contemporary black/death/grind band that plays the drums 'really fast'.

Ding ding ding!

I scanned incels.me; I did not see anything interesting & I couldn't find Incelocalypse. Reddit users write that it's been taken down a month or so ago.
