I think I can get away with a 4-year age difference.
But Jesus, she’s in her 30s. If you think it’s unacceptable for someone her age to be dating someone who is 15-20 years older, then you’re the one who’s fucked up. Not saying that’s ideal or healthy for everyone, but you could say that about any romantic relationship. And making blind assumptions about such a relationship and calling it gross is, um, stupid.
Not that anyone here is likely to end up with T-Swift. But ‘fawning’ over her with a group of (mostly) male peers is no more or less misogynistic than fawning over any other woman.

Yeah, once you’re 30+ pretty much you can date anyone 30+ so long as yr into it. Middle aged folks finding comfort where they can as death looms.

The whole 'fawning' thing is just a misogynistic dog whistle. It assumes women are inherently sexualized and otherwise useless. Besides infantilizing an adult.I think I can get away with a 4-year age difference.

Besides it being no different than talking about women of another age, it is not different than talking about men either except if you think women are inferior.
Metal head types from Fred Durst to heavy metal parking lot dudes have always had issues with pop. Usually as a mask for their loathing towards women, black people, and/or the gays. wok is just part of a proud tradition.

I agree with you 100% on this one, but what I’m saying is that her age shouldn’t factor in that discussion. I’m only a few years older than she is, and I have a teenager.
‘Too cute to be talented,’ if said unironically, is certainly problematic. But that’s really the only thing that’s been said in this thread that really is. ‘Sexy as hell’ is pretty much universally standard among all sexes and sexualities with respect to talking about celebrities, save the asexuals. See: Idris Elba.

reading comprehension
and your continued effort to try and equate my musical tastes with the worst excesses of misogynist fratboy music is rather endearing
i must have hit a nerve

Her talent transcends genres. I'm not necessarily a fan of Nashville stuff, or teenage pop. If it's good, I will listen regardless.
I took my daughter and niece to a show on the Red concert tour. It was fantastic.

Well it was a cryptic remark with no referent. So there is nothing inherently to comprehend about it.
If you're referring to specifically two posts in this thread (one of which I didn't see until a minute ago), and not all Taylor Swift fans, why not mention those people specifically instead of being passive aggressive? Then there would be reading to comprehend. As it is, it is not clear what you actually meant. It sounds like someone just shitting on the entire thread. Especially since it is not your thing apparently.

Chelsea Wolfe is in her 30s. I hope no metalheads—all gross old men like @yabba—have been gross about her or mentioned her looks.

yabba is gross in general so I think it's a given

I think yabba was being ironic. And I agree that Knox's comment is so tame it didn't need to be called out.
Some threads here are gross. Like that one that had people talking about instagram models that had to be closed. But I actually feel like people behaved themselves here.

I'm glad that creepy old guys are monitoring these things. Good work!

I gave it a listen. I expected to think it was good but not really like it for my own consumption. I liked it more than I thought I would.
One musical observation I had why noodling along on piano. Whatever you do, do not get out of a pentatonic sort of thing and you’ll be ok. I want to complain about the lack of harmonic complexity, but it really works. The harmonic simplicity allows the textures to shine without getting in the way of the words. It’s really nice.

Wife likes it. It’s meh. Just like the Phoebe Bridgers record. Could definitely be worse.
