I hate the Melvins. Buzz is fucking annoying as a person, and as a songwriter, every album they've ever put out is composed of 1, maybe 2 good songs and the rest filler. Their newer stuff is just butt rock.

      Adorno's takes on jazz haven't even aged poorly, they were already ignorant and bad at the time of writing, and that's far from the only thing he got wrong about cultural production. i still think his ideas on the cultural industry are absolutely worth looking into, but they require some heavy revision because he was just some old white cishet dude from Germany who painfully lacked understanding of the popular culture of his time.
