More Evidence Against Erin Micklow From The Band Still Pist

May 1, 2024 / dystopiagal / 0 Comments

Their version of the incident, which is way more believable than the other side.

EDIT 4: Punk Rock Review just posted a video in which he talks to Jesse from Still Pist about what happened that night. The dude saw Erin’s boyfriend clock his girlfriend in the face. I had no idea he actually witnessed it, I just thought somebody else told him. Erin’s boyfriend got a beatdown that he totally deserved.

EDIT 3: Erin has made a new video. Is it an apology to the people she lied about? Of course not, because she has an extreme lack of self awareness. Instead it is all about her one year anniversary of practicing meditation. She is obviously learning nothing from it for her to be acting like this. Also, notice in the video that she has no marks or bruises. She is definitely not doing herself any favours by posting this.

Not a single bruise. If she had truly been ‘jumped’ she would not be that lily-white right now.

EDIT 2: There have been allegations about Erin raping multiple men. Below is a screenshot of somebody with facts about one occurrence in which she was caught giving oral to a guy who was passed out drunk. I quite honestly can’t see her ever being welcomed at a punk show ever again because she has been telling lie after lie after lie about that fight. I, and some others, have been joking that she is probably going to pivot to goth next. Which would actually be funny as hell because there are plenty of us with a foot in each camp that wouldn’t let that slide.

EDIT: I found this video over on YouTube by Punk Rock Review, and in it he dissects her video about the attack. He notices that she has cut out part of the video. The cut is right after the chick threw the drink in her face. She edited it to where the girl is attacking her to make it as if the girl threw the first punch. Proof Erin is lying and that she did indeed throw the first punch. Holy shit!!! Start the video at 27:49.

I decided to make a new post about this because the other post is already crowded with updates. The truth is starting to come out and it is what was expected; Erin threw the first punch, lied about being jumped by multiple people and got her boyfriend involved. Said boyfriend then proceeds to punch the other girl in the face so hard that his ring left an imprint on her cheek. As seen in the below photo. Then that moron got a beatdown for clocking the other chick, who was a very small person. He could have pulled her away, which would have been easy since she is so small, but he made the very bad decision of clocking her instead.

A closer photo of the cut and swollen lip that were the result of Erin’s boyfriend clocking her.

This band is getting a lot of threats from Erin’s fanboys, because of course they are. The whole Madi Danger crapfest is much of the same thing; pretty white women can get away with anything in the punk and goth subcultures if they have enough simps following them on social media. However, as I have said before, the age of the ‘influencer’ seems to be coming to an end. There really seems to be more of a backlash against neoliberal capitalism right now than there was just a year ago which can only be a good thing.

Again, I will give more updates as they surface.

Erin Micklow, Infamous Punk Influencer, Got Beat Up At A Show

April 29, 2024 / dystopiagal / 0 Comments

Video about what took place because I don’t link to her.

EDIT 30/04: She has apparently been told the names of the people who fought her and her boyfriend and is going to call the cops. You know that phrase ‘snitches get stitches’? I quite honestly don’t think she is going to be welcome in most places after this which can only be a good thing. If I still lived in California I would make the drive to LA to verbally harangue the hell out of her. I’m kind of known for being good at it.

EDIT: Just found out from some online friends whom I trust that she has been accused of raping a guy in the past. She sucked off a dude who was passed out drunk apparently. I knew she was kind of horrible but I had no idea that it ran this deep. Fucking hell. I have now changed my mind about her. Rapists should never be tolerated no matter who the hell they are, and especially if they are using the punk subculture to gain status and money. FUCK YOU ERIN!!!!

Erin Micklow is an ‘influencer’ who uses the punk subculture to make cash. That is who she is and that is what she does. It is also the reason why she is pretty infamous in the punk scene; using a subculture that isn’t about material gain to gain a lot of money. She has been denied entry into Punk Rock Bowling in the past because of her refusing to follow the rules when it came to getting access backstage. So, her being attacked by another chick at a show didn’t come out of nowhere; she has a long track record of treating some other people horribly.

So, what exactly happened? That is kind of up for debate right now because she is telling one story while others are saying something different. She claims she got ‘jumped’ in a bathroom by a group of women, but others are saying it was just one chick who attacked her. Her boyfriend then wails on the other chick. Other chick’s boyfriend enters the combat and proceeds to beat the shit out of Micklow’s boyfriend.

Do I think all of this is a bit shit? Yes, because nobody deserves to beat up at a show like that. Personally, as many of you know, I can’t stand influencers period because it is all about material gain in subcultures that weren’t meant to go down that neoliberal capitalist road. I think what we are beginning to see right now in society is a backlash against influencers because people are broke as hell right now and don’t want to watch people brag about everything they own constantly. I think what happened to her was bound to happen at some point because of her long history of using the punk subculture to make money. Like I said earlier she is not completely innocent; she has a documented pattern of some shitty behaviour.

People are telling her to go to the cops, but right or wrong there will be even more backlash against her if she does this because the police have never been liked by the punk community for obvious reasons. She is between a rock and a hard place. She chose the punk subculture to be an influencer and that subculture is now physically fighting back. Do I find her annoying as hell? Yes. Do I think she should have been beat up for it? No. I think it is totally fine to verbally berate somebody when they are being an idiot but punching somebody takes that to another level.

I will give updates as more information surfaces.

Geordie Walker Of Killing Joke Has Died

November 27, 2023 / dystopiagal / 0 Comments

Geordie Walker, one of the founders and guitarist for Killing Joke, has died of a stroke at the age of 64. Killing Joke is a band that is impossible to fit into just one music style box, and that is the reason why they have always been such a highly influential band to so many different musicians. My thoughts go out to his friends and family. May his memory always be a blessing.

Cool Documentary Called The Chinatown Punk Wars Has Been Released

October 5, 2023 / dystopiagal / 0 Comments

Preview that is very peachy-keen.

If you know about the history of LA punk then you know about the battle that happened between two different Chinese restaurants in Chinatown who both wanted to cater to live punk shows in order to make more money. A documentary on PBS has been made about it, and it includes interviews with Alice Bag, Keith Morris and others who were in the midst of all of the chaos going on. If you don’t know the history of LA punk then this would be an excellent starting point to gain some knowledge.

Cleopatra Is Rereleasing The Misfits Single Who Killed Marilyn

September 23, 2023 / dystopiagal / 0 Comments

This is a pretty big deal because no Misfits material has been rereleased since that complete box set came out over 25 years ago. It’s a picture disc and Cleopatra say that other versions, including a signed edition, are in the pipeline. Being the huge Misfits fan that I am I had to order this, and when the signed edition comes out I will also be ordering that. This is probably going to sell out fairly quickly so grab one while you can. It’s a pre-order that is going to be released right around Halloween, which is very fitting. EDIT: Signed edition sold out before I could get to it, which is fine because they wanted over £100 for it. LOL EDIT 2: More signed editions are coming supposedly. Knowing Cleopatra they’ll make twenty different colours of it.

Fuck The U. S. Government, Unhappy 4th Of July

July 4, 2023 / dystopiagal / 0 Comments

I think the last time I celebrated the 4th of July was in the late 80’s when I was a teen, and even back then I knew what was up; the racist Reagan administration sucked and there was nothing to truly celebrate. As of right now the Supreme Court has struck down a law concerning Affirmative Action and is now allowing businesses to discriminate against others for any reason they wish. They don’t like the colour of your skin? They can refuse to serve you now. The United States is very quickly becoming a true fascist state and I for one never want to go there again. FUCK THE USA!!!!!

More Breaking News! Cruel World Sharing That Siouxsie And Iggy Will Be Performing Today And Doors Open At 5:00 PM

May 21, 2023 / dystopiagal / 0 Comments

What a clusterfuck of an event. A lot of people flew in just for this event and will be flying back out today. They should have announced this last night. Remember, large corporations really don’t give a fuck if you miss your favourite band.

I Am Uploading A Ton Of CDs

May 2, 2023 / dystopiagal / 0 Comments

I used to DJ goth-rock, deathrock and punk music over twenty years ago. It was at the height of when synthpop and EBM music took over goth clubs so it was a pretty dire time to be into goth-rock or deathrock. In fact I was one of the few DJs in the areas that I lived that spun the deathrock revival music that was appearing during that time. So, needless to say, I own a lot of goth music from the 80’s and 90’s. Including tons of compilations. During the 90’s there were a lot of them and many were quite good.

So, I will be spending the next few days uploading all of them to my new laptop. Technology is both a curse and a blessing.

Album Review: The Damned – Darkadelic

April 26, 2023 / dystopiagal / 0 Comments

How did I get my hands on this early? Again, Amazon delivered a new release to me a little early. Not a complaint, just an observation. There is an upside to living in the middle of nowhere.

Again, I am just going to give you my feelings on listening to this the first time rather than go in depth on every song. There are people really good at giving flowerly descriptions of songs…and I am not one of them!

First off I would like to say how much I love the instrumentation on this album. You have fast punk guitar, spooky keyboards and even horns! Phantasmagoria, Everything and Grave Disorder are all represented within these songs with some added psychedelic type guitar work. These songs actually remind me of the band Vanilla Fudge, which can only be a good thing. If you like a more ‘rocking’ Damned then this is the album for you!

This is a very political album which is so awesome! The Damned have never been ones to shy away from speaking out against bullshit and they do it here in spades. My favourite song so far is Follow Me, a little ditty about how shallow and fake internet influencers can be. Some ‘goth’ influencers are probably going to feel called out by it; which can only be a good thing of course.

Well, first listen and I really, really like this album! The title of the album is a very apt name for it; lots of psychedelic keyboard and guitar work. If you are new to The Damned this would be an excellent jumping in point, and if you are an older fan this album will make you want to boogie: From Your Lips made me want to uber-goth dance!

Thoughts about Scene Queen’s Anti-Pedophile Song 18+

March 18, 2023 / dystopiagal / 0 Comments

Love her!

This is one of the first times I have heard a musician in the pop-punk/metal-core/alternative music sphere actually majorly call out sexual predators who go after underage fans. It is a dirty ‘secret’ that has been going on in alternative circles for literally decades. It happens in punk, goth, metal and every single alternative type music genre you can think of. Predatory musicians who want to screw underage girls, and boys, get away with it way too often because their music is deemed too ‘important’, or their music connections are deemed too ‘important’. Nobody should be deemed untouchable, or ‘too important’, when it comes to calling this shit out.

This is a brilliant song and video and I stand with her.
