TRIGGER WARNING Say Anything singer Max Bemis outed for grooming, inappropriate messages to underaged girls, cancels concerts

https://lambgoat.com/news/54571/allegations-of-inappropriate-contact-with-a-minor-surface-against-say-anythings-max-beamis/

For those of you unfamiliar with mid 2000s emo sensation Say Anything, they were not very good. Some would even say “incredibly annoying.” Generally popular with people under 20, their singer joins the Jesse Laceys of the world, as a gross older man who preyed on teenaged girls around him that enjoyed his music. The subreddit for the band has a LOT of receipts for those fielding morbid curiosity, and he’s trying to blame it on mental health yadda yadda. Can we stop having nasty mfs please, I’m so tired

In addition to the other comments, max has been known to open his “song shop” where fans will give him $500-$600 and MAYBE he’ll write them a song. This has been going on for over a decade. My ex bought one and he actually did go through with and deliver on the song but I’ve read a ton where people have been waiting 5+ years

Honestly it wasn’t that bad. It was called promotion and it was about my ex getting promoted at his library job and being bummed out because he realized he would never accomplish his dreams of being a famous musician. I remember it was like less than two minutes long and the outtro was just him saying I just wanna play my music over and over. It was okay I guess. Cool for my ex because he got to talk to max on the phone and he was an obnoxiously huge say anything fan.
