I feel the same :/ I wish I was able to separate the art from the artist, but so far I just can't, and everything Brand-New-related just feels tainted. They were my favorite band and finding out about Jesse just felt like such a punch in the gut. I'm actually mad at Jesse for ruining my favorite music. (More for what he did, obviously, but like did you have to ruin the music for me on top of that?!) I'm hoping eventually I'll reconcile with it in some way and be able to listen to them at least a bit; so far I haven't been able to listen to any of their songs. I think part of what makes it so difficult is that I've been into them since not long after YFW came out and I was just this naive kid, and it's really upsetting to think that while I was blithely playing their albums on repeat, Jesse was doing these things to girls around my age.
- writhing:
- I'm not sure if I can go back to listening to the music. I can't separate Jesse from the words he wrote, because I can't help but think that maybe, some of the songs were written about his actions. And every time I think of my favorite Brand New songs, I think of him, and I get disgusted.
