GLASSGATE 2K9 - BLOGHOUSE GONE WILD

by Hipster Run Off on Mon, 2009/02/16 - 2:41am Post to Twitter

I was recently browsing youtube, searching for live performances of all of my favourite bands, and I stumbledupon this video entitled “ALICE GLASS BEATS IDIOT OVER HEAD WITH MICROPHONE.” I watched it 2 find out what was happening.

At the 1:25 mark, I noticed that the music stopped, and lead singer of Crystal Castles–Alice Glass–did something very violent. She slung her microphone back, and then wound up, and then hit some bro. U can hear a thud, which was probably an altbro skull being crushed by a microphone. Then she called him a ‘fucker’ and hit him a few more times.

Kinda sad that one of my favourite altcelebs of the Blog House era resorted to hitting a bro with a microphone. Makes me kinda sad, but then u start 2 think, what did the altbro do to get beat+kicked out by a bouncer?

In the past, I have made several posts about ppl ‘having a grab’ at females when they fly into the crowd.
One Post is entitled “Alice Glass Upskirt Grab”

Another post features a tweenAltBro with braces drooling over having his face in Alice Glass’s Business

And here is some other Female Crowdsurfing Theory inspired by Uffie

Hope people didn’t get the wrong message from these posts. It’s not okay to ‘grab’ female altcelebs, yall. U wouldn’t grab a female accountant while she was accounting, would u? She’s just doing her job. Hopefully venues don’t make us start signing waivers b4 we go in to keep us from violating members of bands.

I’m kinda worried. I feel like this act might have happened because the BlogHouse bubble is bursting. A lot of altcelebs are feeling a lot of stress ever since the latest AnCo album came out, and sort of made electro/bloghouse seem obsolote+trivial.

Let’s take some time to remember Alice Glass from her glory days with an old tribute video.

Do yall know if this is the pic of the person who Alice Glass beat up?

Do yall agree with violence?
Or whenever an act of violence occurs, is some1 ‘asking for it’?
How far is 2 far, yall?
Should the other member of Crystal Castles have stood up 4 her?
Should we all have to take Anger MGMT classes?
Are ‘acts of violence’ just viral marketing techniques?
