Shut Up, Dude: The 50 Best Comments Of 2012

“Edward is a second cousin on his father’s side to Ed Droste”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Droste

It is totally unreasonable to assume that he receives financial support from extended family, let alone want to be dependent on them.

Quit being a jerk.

Any time I see the word “hipster” used as baseless derision, it makes me want to write a thesis paper on how the word doesn’t mean anything anymore and how it’s just a catch-all for something you don’t like.

Seasame Street is hipster.

There are literally hundreds (thousands?) of people on this earth. I’m sure it’ll happen.

seriously WTF now i have to delete all my Mozart Symphonies because i didn’t know he was a FAT FUCKING SELLOUT FOR THE AUSTRIAN EMPEROR

No Corban, Taylor Swift isn’t going to go out with you.

the moral of the story is pay for any music you enjoy.

Hey?

Why the hell did I decide to check my Twitter page when I was out?!

“I want to see the final edit of the video of my sister spanking her ass in a tub full of glitter, blood and semen-substitutes JUST IN CASE IT LOOKS WEIRD!”

Corban, I think you’re missing something here. I think we’re all missing something here. Maybe we need to accept the possibility of a record so excellent we don’t understand it yet.

(My apologies. I can’t let Stereogum live that line down just yet.)

And if you look off into the distance, you can see the exact shark which Coachella jumped.

What the article left out though is how the hairstyle makes that one eye look, like, so dreamy and deep.

One time Joe Howse realized he was driving 70 on a 65 mph highway, and he immediately slowed down, drove to the nearest police station and asked for a speeding ticket.

If Lana Del Rey and genocide offend you equally, I think you’re doing it wrong.

Queer boys of color really need visibility and support, the lack of it is the reason why so many of us are still closeted. I’m hella proud of Frank for having the courage to be out and open and true to himself with no compromise, not even with mainstream success. This is great news. :)

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart doesn’t even make the top ten!? So long Stereogum, it’s been a blast!

You were so cute back then, too. Look at that smile…

Moms are soooooo embarrassing amirite?

Beach Howse

to me, its not about any of the members personal wealth,it’s about good acts not being able to be compensated for their hard work.

My hearts and prayers are with the Frank Ocean women fans of this world who are now crying in their pillows I’m sure.

So brave.

“Really? Never seen Seinfeld? The slap bass? Something like puaa-puaa-puaaa-puaaaaa chk ah tn tn tss”

Joe Howse: The greatest man alive

Frank’s mom:

My son is brave and honest and I am very proud of him. I wish more people in the world could be brave enough to be who they really are.

Thank you to all who have shown love and support. My son is the most incredible human I know. Honest, true and loving.We appreciate you!

The scene in the new Batman movie were 3,000 men are stuck in a cavernous sewer is also about Courthey’s vagina.

Or did you mean….this one?

you mean….this one?!

It’s not really very similar to how I imagine my list would be, but it seems fairly well thought through (especially for NME).

What she needs is a good defense. Probably feeling like a criminal right now.

lol gay

The fact that Pablo Honey was not placed in the top 3 proves that these lists are not designed exclusively as comment-rage bait.

However, the fact that Pablo Honey was not placed last proves that these lists are designed at least partly as comment-rage bait.

I’ve been looking forward to this one. Nothing makes people lose their shit like a Radiohead list!

oh i see her now thanks

one time i had pizza with joe howse.he pretended to be full so i could have the last slice.

Glad I’m not the only one who thinks “My Sharona” was 56 minutes too short.

Was their criteria ‘good bands that are popular amongst people who like music’? Because that seems to work for most bands on the list.

“but we need to accept the possibility of a record so excellent we don’t understand it yet ”

translated:

“once an inevitable critical consensus emerges that this is great, you will all like it, even if it sounds like a mess to you right now”

You misspelled “weakly”.

A lot of the homophobia amongst hip-hop fans is being exposed. Not saying they all are, but Waka Flocka tweeted support for Frank last night. And nothing against Waka, but if Waka Flocka Flame’s views are more progressive than yours, you need to re-evaluate your life.

This list is BS, no Fiona Apple?!?

Are they just upset that no one cares about Incubus and 311 anymore?

Pablo Honey should not be ahead of KOL that is some bullshit.
