30. I think there's a distinct connection between the decline of guitar (Rock) music and this incel phenomenon.

The young guys who are so deep into this fascist bullshit grew up without guitar. The popular music of the past fifteen years or so is all that electronic, autotune, mumble rap. There weren’t any young guitar heroes to emulate. Ask any Rock Star from the 60’s to the 00’s why they picked up a guitar and nine times out of ten they’ll tell you “to get girls.”

These kids don’t play guitar, they don’t form garage bands which was a great way to socialize and they all complain they can’t get girls. They’re angry and frustrated and turn to these fucknut incel loser podcasters who tell them it’s the fault of “liberal” ideals and women themselves.

No guitar, no girls, super angry = fascism.

Might sound crazy but no crazier than any other theory.
