Thomas Harrison is determined to start his own alternative band after the suicide of Kurt Cobain - it's an obsession that blinds him to what's either the mental collapse, or the eruption of musical genius, of his little sister, Bridget. Bridget boldly rejects her brother's music, and the music of an entire generation of slackers, by taking on the persona of a gangsta' rapper named "Bri Da B."American Pleasure Club (formerly known as Teen Suicide) is an American indie rock band from Baltimore, Maryland. 2 Members 3 Discography History edit Teen Suicide formed initially as a solo project of Sam Ray in 2009, with their first release being the 2011 compilation bad vibes forever which consisted of 'early early demos.'

When Rihanna quietly direct messaged a young gay fan in 2016 , he came out to a friend, buoyed by her support. “Stanning for you was the best decision I’ve ever done,” the fan said in a message.

The thirst is so visible, and if you flop, everybody knows about it. Social media gives artists nowhere to hide, which probably explains why so many of them have forgone the concept of album cycles and ‘eras’ to be constantly present instead. “Here was an artist who chose to step back from making music for three years and live her life like a normal person for a bit, but whenever she chose to upload a photo to Instagram, doing something that wasn’t “being in the studio”, she was met with fans commenting, pressuring her to drop new music. “The difference now is that access is immediate, and stans can question their favourite artist’s every move.“A great example is Marina ,” Douglas points out. Stepping away from the spotlight is near impossible when fans upload stealthy phone snaps wherever you go.”The internet is pivotal, and has amplified the whole ‘queueing outside venues for hours’ culture that’s been about since the time of The Beatles and Elvis,” says NME pop columnist Douglas Greenwood.
After the the singer jokingly posted a screen grab of their conversation, a portion of fans mounted a fightback and things quickly got personal. He’d texted Rexha saying that her video for ‘Last Hurrah’ makes him feel “sick” due to its more risqué scenes. I’m asking you to please be gentler with others, even on the internet.”“I need to remind my fans to please be gentler with others. I really don’t endorse anything but forgiveness and positivity”Bebe Rexha, meanwhile had to call off some overzealous stans after they rushed to defend her… from her own dad. I care deeply about Pete and his health. “I really don’t endorse anything but forgiveness and positivity. After her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson spoke out about the online bullying he had faced since their break-up, Ariana Grande stepped in and urged stans to stop sending abusive messages.“I feel I need to remind my fans to please be gentler with others,” she said on Instagram.
Defending an artist from all criticism, at whatever cost isn’t fandom. Bizarrely, many of them are doing this by referencing the case of Jussie Smollett (who was arrested for staging his own assault) as if the actions of one person can invalidate the words and experiences of genuine survivors. Many are also attempting to smear the two men who have accused Jackson. Frequently, stans aren’t just concerned with what their favourite artist is up to, but what their rivals are up to, too.Pitting stars against peers is another pastime that has become far easier with the help of social media log onto Twitter on any given day, and you’ll spot Cardi B stans having a pop at Nicki Minaj, or Swifties (Taylor Swift super-fans) sending snake emojis en masse to Kim Kardashian.Any artist who ‘slights’ another star faces a potential pile-on, with similar amounts of vitriol reserved for journalists, other people on twitter, fans of rival stars, and anyone else who dares to cross a stanned musician.In some circumstances, stans go to extreme lengths to defend their favourite artists from any form of criticism whatsoever, even when they face incredibly serious allegations.In response to Leaving Neverland, a new documentary about Michael Jackson which outlines disturbing allegations of child sex abuse, and which airs on Channel 4 tonight, the backlash from superfans is deafeningly loud.Some stans argue that the whole conversation is a disgrace since Jackson is dead and unable to defend himself, ignoring his alleged victims’ right to justice, along with the plain fact that Jackson defended himself plenty during his lifetime.Others are taking shots at the documentary’s director Dan Reed, accusing him of profiting off somebody they say is an innocent man and questioning his motives. I’m disappointed in myself”.It’s not only artists who can suffer from the lack of hiding places left by online life. “I should have never posted that screenshot.
Others send torrents of racist or homophobic abuse.NME journalist Leonie Cooper remembers one chaotic weekend when she came under attack from superfans after she wrote a Guardian piece about Avril Lavigne posing naked with a guitar. When called out, some stans defend their word choices by citing freedom of speech, or the idea that a slur is “just a word”. Then there were the people telling me to “cry harder, faggot” and suggesting I kill myself.Though Eminem later apologised for using the slur on his 2018 album ‘Kamikaze’, he’s been throwing around the f-bomb for years. This particular logic also fails to stand up when you consider the stans still protesting the innocence of Chris Brown and 6ix9ine, who have been found guilty of various crimes by a court.READ MORE: Leaving Neverland director Dan Reed on Michael Jackson’s toxic legacyOccasionally, stan pile-ons also become as toxic as the behaviour that’s being defended when I questioned Eminem’s frequent use of the word “faggot” in an article last year, hundreds of stans disagreed – as they’re entitled to.Lots of them called me a snowflake, and to be fair to them all, I am a very sensitive little petal (shout out to Fairy Snow Non-Bio for being kind to my delicate skin).
“The fact that I was accused of not being a feminist for writing it made it even clearer that people hadn’t read it properly and were just jumping the gun in order to seem like they, above all the others, were the most deeply committed fan. Some of the responses only amplified this idea.“T he abuse directed at me was horribly misogynistic – which was deeply ironic considering the fact that the whole gist of the piece was rooted in feminism,” Leonie says. There was outcry from a selection of Avril stans who disagreed with the piece, but ironically, a lot of abuse Leonie received took on a shockingly misogynic and personal tone.Leonie says she originally wrote the piece with the intention of “ laying into a music industry that still treats women in a drastically different way to men”.
I also think it’s very easy to get influenced. “People think they can do things that they wouldn’t necessarily do in person. She’s found the community of 1975 stans to be largely inclusive, but she recognises how social media can help things get out of hand.“Of course, people are going to be protective of their favourite bands, but I think sometimes using the internet in the wrong way accentuates the divide,” Mia says. She camped outside the band’s Birmingham show, and even starred in the band’s video for ‘ TOOTIME… ’.As a result of her cameo, other fans have bought her drinks before in Wetherspoons, and Mia says she has made new friends from following the band.
Xxx (? by post shared by Amanda Palmer on at 11:17am PSTAt the beginning of this year, musician Amanda Palmer took the unusual step of meeting up with a person who posted negative things about her on Twitter, later describing it as “one of the hardest and best things I’ve done with my time for a while”.
