No one ever asks me questions about FYSM because it’s so fucking self explanatory. But if anyone did, this is what they might ask.
WHAT IS FYSM?
FYSM, or Fuck Your Social Media, is a Colorado based music blog run by me, a random dude. A random dude that absolutely hates social media. I hate Elon Shitface telling me what I can and can not share; I hate Mark Fuckerberg telling me what I can and can not share; I hate Jeffrey Dahmer telling me what I can and can not share.
I want to say things like “fuck”, “cunt”, and “lick my asshole like a dog licking peanut butter”. So I will. If the Dwarves make another album with titties on the cover, I wanna put those titties front and center. So I will.
I don’t care if you share my work on social media, just don’t tag me. You won’t be able to.
HOW DO I STAY UP TO DATE WITH YOU IF YOU’RE NOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
It’s crazy – if I’m not shoving my shit down your feed, how do you know I exist? Well, you can sign up for my weekly newsletter below.
You can also follow my donation page on Kofi. It’s your choice. Just please don’t follow me in real life. Shit’s weird.
CAN I HAVE THE PHOTOS YOU TOOK OF OUR BAND?
No.
But you can buy them! And you can rest easy at night knowing it’s going towards me buying more band shirts, which supports your peers, and youth art education, which happens to be my day job.
And hookers! Wins all around!
CAN I CONTRIBUTE TO FYSM?
Sure. Feel free to email me at fysmadmin@fysm.world and let me know you exist. I’ll look at it, be like “cool”, and then forget you exist. But at least it’s a start!
You can also send me completed articles that are too raunchy for your Instant Grams. I need good words and great photos. Just don’t upstage me please.
DO YOU PAY?
I’m, in legal terms, broke as shit. But unlike multi million/billion dollar corporations like Westword and IHeartRadio, I DO pay! I love buying tees at shows, and the average band tee is $30, so that’s what I currently pay so you can buy a tee too! Which is also $30 more than those multi-state corporate conglomerates pay! Weird, huh?
Though that also means, being legally broke as shit, the amount of Guest Articles on here is directly proportional to my bank account balance.
HOW DO I SUPPORT YOU?
Easy! Buy merch and wear it with pride. You’ll never get anyone asking for an Insta follow ever again!
You can also donate on Kofi. One time, recurring, doesn’t matter, money is money.
And that’s really it. You’ll never see ads because I fucking hate ads and you’ll never see sponsorships unless it’s a product I actually like. Which means FUCK YOU Manscaped! Your products are shit and don’t hold a candle to Ballsy.
WHAT’S YOUR ALL TIME FAVORITE CONCERT?
I have a secret Must See List if you want to peruse.
HOW DO YOU WASH YOUR SHIRTS TO PRESERVE THE FRAGILE GRAPHICS?
Flip it inside out and use cold water.
