yeah, TG always used their actions as a means of furthering and reflecting their art, they complemented the music, whereas death grips merely sought to garner attention for their stupid arses. the stuff they did wasn't cool, it wasn't subversive, it was just infantile and pathetic, passing off unadulterated laziness and apathy as some grandiose form of performance art.
the fact that I didn't even talk about their music there is a testament to how fucking awful they are. on that topic never much cared for them anyway, pad's right in calling them nu metal. my friend played me their new record though and it was okay, although pretty much came across as histrionically demented crackhead with a couple of distortion filters meets one bar of an snd track repeated for 5 minutes.
