When it's not Radioactive by Imagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons are the new Nickelback.
Was that song overplayed?
- Definitely where I live it was. I used to cycle between all the rock radio stations when listening to music and around the time that song came out it was all the radios would play. I actually liked the song when it first came out but it got so overplayed.
Relax... Take a deep breath...
Iiiiiiiiinnnnn...........
Oooouuuuutttt.......
WAKING UP, TO ASH AND DUST
I'M WAKING UP TO ASH AND DUST
Give it 5months

More like Imagine Dragons - Radioactive comes on.

Shotgun and 5.56 combo sounds like amateur sound design for sure....it's perfect

It's the radio ¯_ (ツ) _/¯
- Red tailed hawk screech!

My local rock station started playing straight-up modern pop hits a couple years ago. Could have at least left it at pop rock, there's no shortage of that ...

Though they never pretended to be brutal, they were always about classic rock and 90s pop rock. AFAIK they didn't even play Black Sabbath.

That's depressing. My local station is still rockin' hard with "A Little Bit Off" by FFDP on repeat, with some Metallica and Black Sabbath sprinkled in. They do the cringy "we do things the other stations won't" innuendos, but they don't gave a morning show and don't play ads on my drive home (except for their own station), so I'm happy.
- “A Little Bit Off” by FFDP on repeat
  Gross.
All your favorite classic rock hits from Nirvana to Metallica!
- If only, Metallica is way too hard for them. Their main thing is 70s rock, minus Black Sabbath and punk.

The other classic

I'm a big fan of this very specific type of greentext

the OG. i think I like that one more

rock you like a hurricane is way too edgy a choice. i'd go with i wanna rock and roll all night

Idk that song’s pretty edgy, it’s about le sex, if you didn’t know 😏
- nah

Every time Baba O'Reilly by The Who ends, my brain adds in "Q104" before the next song starts

As happens to everyone who grew up in the greater Cleveland area in the '90s
- Must be more than one Q104. Mine was out of NYC.

This sounds like a GTA radio station

My instant reaction to this was an overwhelming sense of vice city nostalgia

This feels like a "Sex FM" thing.

What's sex FM and why didn't I think of it first?

I am not sure how to read this. Is it a reference to something in particular ? are the two interlaced texts happening in parallel ? what is the link between a radio announcement and killing dogs in a nursery ?

So greentext is usually used like quotation marks or asterisks to denote roleplaying. Here it's being used to denote a soundboard like radio DJ's use.
The reference is to American classical rock stations that use very aggressive sound bumpers but play very milktoast music, usually the same 40 songs since the 80's
- I think milquetoast is the word you want; milktoast is phonetically correct but that spelling refers to a breakfast dish.
it's very common for radio personalities to be like "THIS IS THE REAL STATION FOR HARD ALT CLASSICS, KEEP YOUR GRANDMA AWAY!" and then play the same 200 song playlist as every other station because radio has been captured by iHeartMedia and homogenized to hell and back.
- I'm grateful every day that my rock station is independent, and they still play Black Sabbath and Tool and whatnot. It's still pretty repetitive, but that's because there's not a ton of new rock music.
- iHeartMedia plays artists that they own, either record contract or catalogue.
  When I lived in the UK my local gym always had the same shitty radio station on and I was like "Why do they keep playing these artists? I almost never hear them on BBC" and it turned out to be because the owners of the radio station also owned those artists. Vertical integration baby!

I mean, do radio stations like that still exist?

THERE'S TRAFFIC THERE'S TRAFFIC NO TRAFFIC THERE'S TRAFFIC

This does not boad well
