Should tweens and entry level alts boycott Girl Talk live performances because they are not ‘green’ enough?

As you know, I have refrained from blogging about the Girl Talk live experience because of his increasing levels of inauthenticity. However, I noticed a lot of terrible things happening at his show that have to do with one of my biggest passions–’going green.’ For those of you who don’t know, the phrase ‘going green’ relates to ‘doing shit that will help 2 save our environment and keep humans around 4ever.’ As u can see, Girl Talk’s show is not very ‘green.’ Not sure what the opposite of ‘going green’ is.

It seems like the Girl Talk is a ‘celebration of waste’, like they are just converting a local park into a ‘huge fucking dumpster.’

Not sure if toilet paper shooting technology really enhances the live music experience. Most bands I have seen did not construct ‘waste machines’ that fling paper into the air–instead they focus on making authentic indie rock.

People even find a way to use the wasted toilet paper as ‘temporary clothes’, then they probs ‘wiped their metaphorical asses’ b4 throwing it on the ground.

Probably is some sort of ’status symbol’ at Girl Talk shows, much like mainstream kids are ‘proud of their Abercrombie’, alts at GT shows are ‘proud that the Lord delivered them some toilet paper’

Photos like this make me 100% certain that the ice caps will melt, and the oceans will flood 90% of the land on Earth during my lifetime.

If I had some tweenage kids, I probably wouldn’t let them attend a Girl Talk show. Not only are there structural dangers when it comes to ‘200 kids crashing a temporary stage’, but also it seems like a ‘big ass’ ‘tweenage fuckfest.’

Seems really unchill. Worried that there are ‘altbro predators’ there.

Ultimately, I am enraged that Girl Talk promotes such waste. We are trying to save the environment, but it seems like his live show figures that if ’shit gets crazy’, then it is worth it. The concept of ‘toilet paper’ is wasteful, as is the act of ’shooting that shit into the air on top of a sea of alts.’

Ultimately, I am sad that Jaime, the latino man who works as a foreman for the Parks and Recreation Department will have to clean up the mess.

Put litter in its place.
Support GREEN artists.
Save the Environment.
Save Jaime.

Feeling sad in a celebration of waste.
