Intro

(Felt like I should do one of these cringey blog intros lolll)

Hi, I'm Drew, I'm 19 (just turned 😛), and I thought I should probably do one of these after posting into the void since I was like 14.

I like music a lot, it's pretty much my entire personality.

Music I like: Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, The Smiths, Hole, Nirvana, The Clash, Sex Pistols, The Cure, Derek and The Dominos, Blondie, Pretenders, Guns N' Roses (my blog's namesake, I thought it was creative hehe), The Damned, The Slits, X-Ray Spex, L7, Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, Sonic Youth, The Runaways, The Adverts, Ramones, Garbage, Led Zeppelin, Veruca Salt, Jack Off Jill, Siouxsie and The Banshees, and loads more I forgot </3

I like movies and shows a lot too! If I'm not talking about music, I'm probably talking about media of that sort.

My favourite movies/shows are: Twin Peaks (1990), Fire Walk With Me (1992), Longford (2006), A Complete Unknown (2024), Firebrand (2023), Nosferatu (2024), Little Women (2019), See No Evil (2006), Pistol (2022), Almost Famous (2001), Goodfellas (1990), The Haunting of Hill House (2018), Buffalo '66 (1998), and probably loads more here too

I'm queer and autistic, so I sometimes post about that but not always, hehe

I'm also very interested in the girlfriends/wives/groupies of famous rockstars/bands, usually from the 60s into the 90s. Not a negative word shall be said about them here, or I will genuinely throw hands <3

Im in university and studying Sociology and English! I am also interested in history as a hobby, but I hated it academically 💔 I have various special interests in history, and particular women from the past, be they good or evil lmao.

I really enjoy writing shitty poetry, and I sometimes share it here too

That's it, I think 😛 bye-bye

If only people actually understood how fucking brilliant Nancy Spungen was. She belonged to the music and the music belonged her, despite the fact that she didn't even DO music, aside from like a few shows Sid had her on. Her IQ was through the roof and she had paranoid schizophrenia. Her mother's book is a real eye-opener the masses desperately need and she was the true genius of the Sex Pistols. Actually she was the only one lol. She had some serious and very sad issues, but most genius people do, and she was an incredibly remarkable soul.

Sabel Starr was a young girl in the groupie scene where GROWN MEN took advantage of her. A specific groupie has described her mean spirited or bitchy, but it's funny because that specific groupie was a grown woman and was jealous of teenagers rather than being concerned about their well-being. Sabel was a teenager. Of course teenagers would say "bitchy" stuff when they were young. But that grown woman really took it by heart!

I've seen more hate for Sabel than the adults around her. The victim blaming of underage girls is disgusting. It was not their fault for what happened. They were just a KID. Put that hatred towards pedophilic famous males. THEY'RE THE ONES WHO DESERVED IT. NOT THE VICTIMS.

Nancy Spungen was more punk rock than any of the men she knew, btw

Have you guys ever noticed that whenever the true story of a male serial killer is adapted for television or cinema (not professional documenaries, I mean movies for entertainment), the murderer is played by a marginally attractive actor, and it's always implied that it's just so shocking that someone like him would do something horrible like that (AHEM that fuckass Ted Bundy film with Zac Efron). Also, the title is always something like "my friend Dahmer," which comes off as sympathetic no matter what way you look at it. The male serial killer is condemned for his crimes and his crimes only, which are presented as shortcomings of someone who could have otherwise been a great man. He looks normal, he sounds normal, and he is normal aside from the fact that he savagely murdered a bunch of innocent people.

MEANWHILE, whenever the same thing happens with a case involving a woman killer, she is always depicted as conventionally ugly (even if she literally didn't look like that lmao), and her crimes were not so shocking because she just "looks evil" as if that's even a thing. It's not her crimes that are judged so much as her looks and attractivness, which is fucking weird. She is "the face of evil," while men who have done the same irredeemable things are not seen as so remarkable. It's almost like violence and dominance to a certain degree are seen as normal for men, while the same behaviour is not so accepted in women, who are expected to be docile and submissive. Being beautiful and attractive to men is one of the most important roles of women under patriarchy, so when a woman does something horrible and violent that may be more commonly expected of a man, her physical appearance is undermined alongside her crimes to annunciate how abnormal her actions were. She doesn't look or sound normal, and she never was because she's killed people and we should know that solely based off of her appearance. But that literally never happens to a man who has done the same things or worse.

Have you guys ever noticed that? Because I have, I've done a lot of noticing that.

Obviously, this isn't to defend female serial killers. That would be stupid as hell, but I do find the disparity in media presentations of these people based on gender to be really interesting. Also, the whole thing about a woman "looking criminal" really leaves the door wide open for racist and transphobic biases to seep in. And don't even get me started on how the notion of a criminal that just "looks evil" seriously pays in to blaming their victims once again. Gross.

[cousin-quartz-of-house-paradox]

it's certainly Something that the few people who were nancy's friends think sid didn't do it (while most of the other punk rock guys were like "if sid hadn't killed that annoying bitch i would've done it myself." yes im referring to a specific person. yes this is the reason i will never give that band a chance.)

remember in p.e. when they'd take a bunch of insecure teenagers & be like "today we're going to play basketball" and then not teach you how to play basketball. and then put you in a group with guys who were obsessed with basketball and would get mad at you for not knowing how to play basketball. why did they do that
