Let's talk Ronnie Radke

I discovered Falling in Reverse through Let the World Burn and tried following Ronnie in Xitter for a while and it's just so fucking cringe.

Dude is making some great music lately, but all the "anti-woke" messaging in his latest tracks are such a fucking shame.

I have a pet theory that Ronnie is being explicitly contrarian on social media to feed his creativity through strife and anger. But Xitter being Xitter, he's being increasingly surrounded by reactionary chuds reinforcing his worst takes.

Dude is reaching terminal velocity in falling down the reactionary pipeline. Such a shame of talent really.

Dude has been stuck in a high school drama queen phase since forever. Stir shit up, act like people were wrong for reacting negatively to said shit, rinse and repeat. His anti-woke BS is just the cherry on top, I’m not surprised he went this way at all.
He's an immature loser who, unfortunately, has a good deal of musical talent.
Zombified is the first and only song of his that I listened to voluntarily, the moment I realized that the lyrics were basically him bitching about being treated poorly for being a shit bag I looked him up and have avoided anything hes touched ever since.
