Gatekeeping is dumb, but gatekeeping gatekeeping is also kinda… dumb. Idk.
my personal feeling is this: not a fan of his music. (Him in particular, I like a lot of other synthy stuff with more overbearing horror themes)
I think that Abel as a person, just from what I’ve seen and read about them as obviously I’ve never met them, seems kinda obnoxious.
The horror stuff in his work is *alright* but I’m sure it’ll be a cool house because the horror nights team is dope.
I just personally feel that those same visuals could be used without a silly pop star being attached, and there are probably a dozen musical acts who fit better and would have an equally enjoyable house which leads me to this thought: it’s totally okay that most of the reason he is worked into the event is his immense popularity which should drive ticket sales. That’s the thing that puts him as a choice above somebody like carpenter brut, nine inch nails, Ghost, or any other musical act who maybe fits a little better. $$$ and it’s okay to admit that.
still gonna go through the house and hope to enjoy it. Alcohol should help. If not that’s cool too.I didn’t really dig the crypt tv stuff from last year but it was cool they gave it a shot. Hope others enjoy it. Just don’t be a tool to people.
