I spoke to Fucked Up’s Damian Abraham when he was on his way to a Canadian Awards Ceremony with the unfortunate name “The Jew Nose” (come on Canada, it’s 2012). He was under attack from the Twittosphere after allegedly wishing death upon Katy Perry.
Street Carnage: What happened?
Damian: Aw man. So, I’m watching this video
and I’m thinking, “This is an ad for the military.” Now, I don’t mean any disrespect to the troops out there risking their lives but for an artist to go out there and make an ad that encourages their fans to sign up? That’s fucked up. If she really wants to promote the military, let’s see her go there and fight. As I was thinking this I wrote
That’s so gay.
I know but I was thinking of that FEAR song “Let’s Have a War.” Without knowing that song I can see how the “Katycats” just read it as “I want Katy Perry to die.”
No I mean it’s gay that you were watching that video.
Oh. Well, I like a lot of pop music, all right?
Nope. So what did the Katycats do to you? Did they say horrible things?
A lot of Tweets about how fat I am. I’ve been fat my whole life. If they had got in there when I was 14, it might have hurt but now it’s like calling an albino an albino.
Let me check your Twitter feed.
Go ahead.
Here goes…
DIE DICK @leftfordamian: Seeing Katy Perry as a soldier in “Part Of Me” really makes me think that weneed to start a war so she can go die.

@sephiesays now I wasn’t saying she was dumb, simply that I thought that video was a tad out of line
Wow, they’re kids.
Yeah, they are all probably in their early teens. I also think there are some people from other countries and English is their second language.
I hope so. Some of those typos made me want to take my kids out of public school.
You know what’s unique about that generation? For them. the Internet is more than a second life. It IS their life. For us (well, you’re a lot older than me) the Internet is a place where we goof off and maybe read something but as soon as we close our computers, it’s gone. For them, the computer never really shuts off.
I never thought of that. Maybe that’s why that gay kid killed himself after the blow job video came out. We’d go, “Yikes, that’s embarrassing” and avoid going online but for him, it was like having to wear a sandwich board that said, “I blow dudes.”
It’s also why nobody got the FEAR reference. Old hardcore quotes are not going to click with Katy Perry fans.
You know Ian Mackaye says DOA invented the word hardcore?
I know, but they weren’t the first hardcore band.
Who was?
The Rude Kids from Sweden. They were doing fast punk back in the late 70s and it is the dictionary definition of hardcore.
Never heard of them. What an awesome band. Thanks.

UPDATE: It took forever for me to get this up and this story has since become ancient news. I called Damian to ask if there are any updates and he said, “The Katycats are still mad. I stopped retweeting them though because it’s all basically the same thing. I’m not famous and I’m fat. I don’t find either thing particularly insulting. I can’t even imagine not being fat because I never have not been fat and as far as famous goes, Fucked Up is the band I always wanted to be in. I never wanted to be The Rolling Stones, I wanted to be Fucked Up.”
“For them, the computer never really shuts off.” this one observation is better than EVERYTHING on this site.
word about internet life…thought middle class was the first hardcore band, though…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYjBTiB9fN0
Artist? Is there no longer a distinction between artist and entertainer?
Reader’s Digest version: “I made a juvenile comment, used an obscure hardcore reference to justify it, then I felt bad when a bunch of juveniles didn’t get the reference because, you know, they’re young”
She was asking for it with the army music video, we didn’t like it the first time when Green Day did it.
“You know what’s unique about that generation? For them. the Internet is more than a second life. It IS their life. For us (well, you’re a lot older than me) the Internet is a place where we goof off and maybe read something but as soon as we close our computers, it’s gone. For them, the computer never really shuts off.”
best thing i’ve read this week
Just when you thought all hope was lost, the lead singer of a band called “Fucked Up” is this intelligent.
I remember thinking how hilarious it was that anyone could find his comment even remotely controversial.
I always thought the first hardcore band was the Bad Brains.
i have know life
Exactly like that Simpsons episode where they start a boy band to promote the miltary
I wish I was a bigger person but reading those responses made me want to rape katy perry and tweet the vid
Listen to The Rude Kids video and the Katy Perry video on mute at the same time.
