cool

lol I remember this band's early stuff. It sucked and I'm surprised they still exist

did they find a cure?

Someone lacked the social cues to see that was a bad idea.

lmao
good on them

I mean definitely for the best if they want to be taken seriousky

It is very funny that their reason has nothing to do with the word or idea of autism itself, just that the band has changed their sound.

So the band name autism is available now?

Lithuanian post-metal band Autism

posting disease metal

varg disapproves of this

"It is very funny that their reason has nothing to do with the word or idea of autism itself, just that the band has changed their sound."

maybe the karolis guy has autism and now that he's leaving, the name is no longer appropriate (?

RIP Autism

we did it, we ended autism

autism resigned!

how is the new band name still SO BAD? im genuinely dumbfounded. fucking. anything bro. FIRE WALK WITH ME.

w/e, wil never listen to aorta anyway

Autism is a cool band name

what's cool about it

Nice cover story for what was always an idiotic decision

Didn't think my comment was anything other than making fun of a stupid band name, but ok.

"It is very funny that their reason has nothing to do with the word or idea of autism itself, just that the band has changed their sound." [2]
good on them, it would be pretty lame for them to change it because they think its "inappropriate" or whatever

idk chief I'd hardly have held it against them if they changed it for that reason

good move, fun fact did you know that one point Lithuania consumed the most alcohol per capita, of all countries in the entire world?

I did know that.

So the cure for Autism is clearly erm... alcohol in vast quantities? Cool, let's all get wasted!

I mean if the original purpose of the name was to raise awareness or whatever then I appreciate the intention, maybe? Although if it wasn't put alongside anything of substance, then idk it could be easily misconstrued as a piss-take? Regardless of the reasons this is a good move, although I can't help but wonder if the reasoning in their statement is genuine.

Imagine being like Supercoolguy64 and thinking that having moral stances on things makes you lame

More like Superlameguy64

“Varg disapproves of this” lol

“Varg disapproves of this”
fuck that dipshit

Welllll in this day and age, moral stances are so fucking saturated. so the contrarian point tends to be a more utiliarian/libertarian type reaction. so he could just be reflexively feeling that way

demon gets it

damn, this is going to hurt the sput community

i really felt "seen"

lol

Imagine thinking calling your band “autism” is on the same level as calling it a slur. If anything it helped normalize it.

damn

Is there a fire sale of the previously branded merchandise - might get a hoodie

the 'A' still stands for Autism though, right?

lmfao haha

changed it to aspergers?

https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Aspergers/47376/

Baffled that the reason why they changed it is change of members/sound and not... well.

If they were a hardcore punk band I'd call them pussies, but for a pretentious post-metal band I'd say it was a smart decision.

LOL

Talking about names...what about "Suffocate For Fuck Sake"

i weirdly understand this position

another top contender when deciding on a new name was apparently Downs Syndrome

as an autistic person this loss of representation really hurts the community and me, gonna make even less eye contact today now

'another top contender when deciding on a new name was apparently Downs Syndrome'

too similar to Syndrome of a Down

'downy' are a really good band

Downy with the sickness

Savant Syndrome is a pretty cool band name.

robert downy jr. with the sickness lol.
