A decade later she decided she regretted the whole thing and came out with the story. All of the allegations that followed, to my knowledge, have been along the lines of "I met him once and he seemed like a creep", but actually cited no crimes committed apart from being a jerk.

In the wake of this massive global polarization that's occurring, people have lost sight of the difference between non-consent and regret, and honestly, that's what this looks like to me. She consented to the relationship well past the magical age of consent that everyone is hung up on in this story.

I've done **** I've regretted at literally every age I've ever been and have never tried to take any recourse, nor has a magical adulthood fairy come down from the sky and granted me the wisdom to make good choices in life. I'm not saying he isn't a bastard, I'm just saying that I think people are outraged by the wrong aspects of this story and that I'm getting sick of rumours and stories being equated to facts before a fair and unbiased evaluation of the information.

Cool. My post was more referring to how paedophelia is an attraction to prepubescent children as opposed to...uh...pubescent children.

Um EXCUSE ME? The MANIPULATION started when she was underage and you don't just magically realize "oh wow I am being manipulated" once you reach age of consent people are in relationships being abused and don't realize until years later looking back at it how bad it was and that is not called "regret" it's called waking up and seeing what was going on because the brainwashing has finally wore off. Don't even try it.

Citizen too, even though they kinda built themselves up as being second-rate Brand New.

Still good ****, the new album isn't bad either. (I'd skip album #2 though)

Band suggestions please if you want to discuss and try to defend a pedophile just because his music is so amazing he has to be supported regardless of his actions, please make a new thread for that. And give me band suggestions please or shut it.

Hmm if you want music made by sanctimonious twats that you can relate to better, try U2.

HAHAHAHAHA welcome to Music Banter. If you don't enjoy certain personalities arguing about **** you my as well just leave and in that case not go anywhere else, it's like you've never been on an internet forum before.

If you're not gonna listen to Brand New because their singer did something retarded 10 years ago then more power to you, but don't expect people to spoonfeed you because you're having a dumbasss moral quandary over whatever music you listen to. Just go to rateyourmusic and look at charts.

I repeat JFC man. Sorry if this is harsh, but wake the **** up man and realoize no one actually cares about some rando flipping his **** that his favorite singer might not be the best person in the world. Get over yourself.
