Why I Hate Myself For Liking Mindless Self Indulgence

I'll start this off by saying I love Mindless Self Indulgence. I adore their music, and it's some of the greatest stuff I've ever heard. I would also like to follow up by saying I don't listen to a lot of music. MSI have made some songs that are .... yikes, to put it nicely. Jimmy Urine is NOT a good person on top of that, but all the fans that I've ever met are either really chill or downright disgusting perverted freaky weirdos who defend this sick motherfucker. I've had a slight interest in that like, early 2000's emo/scene artstyle, and I think that impacted my music taste drastically.

Going back to the stuff with Jimmy, he's a freak. Not like a 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴 kind of freak, but like a FREAK kind of freak. Less like 𝓗𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓸 𝓥𝓻𝓸 ❤️ and more like "i touch children and watch women pee" kind of freak. There are allegations against Jimmy surrounding him being in a relationship with a 15 year old girl while he was 27. Twenty-seven. That's like, 30, pretty much. Them nearly being a decade apart isn't the only conflict, however. Jimmy apparently had snapped nudes of this FIFTEEN year old girl, and had her act EVEN YOUNGER when they were having sex. 

Although the charges were dismissed earlier this year (March 26th, 2024) his reputation has since been tainted, but I don't think it was too good to begin with.

Lots of people dislike the fact that Jimmy (a bisexual, mexican-white male) uses the N-word and says faggot. You can see examples of the former in the album "Tighter" and "You'll Rebel To Anything" and the latter in "Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy." (there's an entire SONG named faggot.) I would like to say that I'm black and bisexual and it doesn't bother me TOO much, but I can 100% see why anyone of either background would be bothered. He's taking a word that white people used against black people to make them feel subhuman and just tossing it around like it's nothing, despite not being black, and its sorta the same thing with the word faggot. Homophobes used the word 'faggot' to make gay men and other people on the LGBTQ+ spectrum feel subhuman and invalid. I honestly don't think that there's an issue with him saying faggot because he's bisexual (he has had sexual relations with both men & women) but again, I can also see why people, especially LGBTQ+ fans would take offense to that.

But yeah, that's just like my rant (?) on Jimmy Urine. I still love MSI and I think I will for a long time. Comments are open for anyone who disagrees with me as I would love to hear everything that has to be said!
