MOD-team What the REN Is Going On? – Sub Updates & Announcements

84 Upvotes

Hey everyone ✌️

We’re doing a bit of a cleanup together to make the sub easier to use, browse and keep consistent as it continues to grow.

We’ll be making small updates over time and some of us are also working on evolving the look of the subreddit to reflect different Ren album eras.

Instead of pinning every update, this pinned post will act as a central place where we can all keep track of what’s new.

📜 Our Rule

We’ve recently added a bit more context to this to make it clearer how we approach discussions here.

And I must not forget, we must not forget, that we are human beings.

“Self-righteous indignation isn’t a useful stance… it is education and experience which melt prejudice, not anger or shaming.” - Ren

Remember there’s a real human on the other side.

• Disagree with ideas, not people
• No belittling or dismissive language
• Keep it constructive and respectful

We don’t expect everyone to agree - what matters is how we disagree and how we speak to each other. If conversations aren’t going anywhere, it’s often worth considering how something is being communicated, not just what is being said.

If you have feedback or suggestions, feel free to share them here so we can keep improving things together.

– The Mod Team

DISCUSSION Potential anti-vaccine line in End Of The World?

21 Upvotes

So I’m going to preface this by saying I haven’t really had the time to look too deeply into Webby’s past just due to life, all I know is that he apparently held some conspiratorial beliefs about things like Covid vaccines and several other things that he’s apparently grown from. In The End Of The World during his verse Webby sings

“go and get another jab again
And just ignore the black box on the packaging
Shoot it up, hey-hey”

I may absolutely be reading way to much into it but give how “jab” is a common term anti-vaxxers use to refer to vaccines, his past I am a bit concerned. What do yall think, am I over reacting or nah?

NEW SONG Dr Myers seriously triggered my medical PTSD

20 Upvotes

I have cerebral palsy(CP). We were poor when I was a kid but not poor enough for Medicaid.

So we relied on a charity pediatric hospital called Shriners.

Excuse me for the rant that follows...

I HATE charity pediatric hospitals. Why? Because what this song talks about is my childhood at Shriners.

Orthopedic doctors would experiment on us poor kids. We would always have to have some new surgery they just invented but didn't perfect yet. Surgeries for minor causes. Surgeries where they would tell my parents (who signed waivers) we should be lucky I got to be first.

Should I talk about a surgery I had where they broke every bone in my left foot to keep my foot flat but my foot swelled up too big so I had to wait a week before they could put a cast on.

I was 10 and I was awake for those seven days with no pain meds. They kept me in a separate room with no windows. We called it the screaming room.

That foot was ruined. It swells often and it can be very painful still.

But at least they practiced on me so rich kids could have the perfected version right?

Or should I talk about the medicine trials they never got permission from my parents? They would hide them in pudding. I remember eating pudding and getting sick or falling asleep. I refused to eat the pudding and got yelled at by the nurse for "being a brat".

Oh and I heard St Jude isn't much better. They only like taking kids with rare cancers first because like Shriners they are an experiment hospital.

So yeah I was the kid in the song. Luckily I didn't die but I survived with medical PTSD and a body that often hurts. And that surgery? It didn't work.

OPINION My Asylum ratings

Post image
Upvotes

Disclaimer: I have no experience with Chris Webby before this. I also listened to the whole thing straight through in one go bc of a long drive

Madhouse: 10/10. Absolutely jumpscared me with Ren howling at the beginning 🤣 It's pure chaos. It's fast, it's crazy, and fun to jam out to and rap along. Kind of an anticlimactic end though.

Instigator: 7/10. Catchy and chill.

Neurodivergent: 9.5/10. Catchy, fast, and fun vocals, classic Ren.

Down The Road: 10/10. Another jumpscare off the bat. Great pacing, and both artists did great with their parts.

Bad Company: 6/10. Chill, but this one didn't really rope me in much.

Asylum: 10/10. Pretty piece, I love the simplicity, and it is a bit repetitive, but I could listen to this on repeat for days. The lyrics really make you think. (Added bonus, no profanity so I can listen to it with my family!!!)

Me And My Monster: 8/10. Absolute bop, even if it's a calmer tempo instrument wise.

Smoking Gun: 5/10. Pretty repetitive. Has good humor though.

Tarantula: 7/10. Like SG, pretty repetitive. The last verse kicks it up a point.

Mason Jar: 7/10. Clever reference to the producer of the album in the chorus. Second half hits hard.

Silence: 9/10. Relateable first line. Pretty fast, good rhymes. F--cking shocking twist. I was expecting it to end like "silence.... sounds so- shut the f--k up" but somehow they went in a completely different direction and made it better.

Dr. Myers: 10/10. Great pace, interesting story that makes you really think about the lyrics like Asylum does.

Caskets: 9/10. Great message, and a good, contemplative addition to the album.

End Of The World: 8/10. A contemplative track yet again, yet with fun humor. Music video is hilarious.

Lunatic Lullaby: 10/10. The electric guitar is pulled out!!! Very serious once the lyrics start. Great thinking song. Chris doesn't get to speak in this track, but Ren absolutely drives the nail home.

Do we know if there will be a colored vinyl/store exclusive at all vs the standard black?

I thought there was gonna be exclusive vinyl variants?

4 Upvotes

I’m not 100% on this but I’m pretty sure it was mentioned in the chat of a recent premiere. And there has been some discussion about it. But now it seems only the standard black vinyl and they have yet to answer any questions about it on the stream.
Anyone know something I missed?
