Why is he always so angry?

He has permanent tissue damage in his biceps due to overflexing his muscles.

he was raped in prison

remember around this time last year when some bitch claimed he was actually a rapist but then everyone forgot about it in a month

what are you talking about? look at this smile!

>spent his late teenage years digging ditches in the hot israeli sun
>people want him to be happy now

>>70645730
Did he actually do this?
Wasn't his father rich, why was he digging holes in Israel?

this guy is a classically alienated and anxious person. pretty much the face of /mu/

>>70645812
iirc he ran away when he was sixteen and he ended up selling heroin in israel and then they sent him to jail and some rape happened.

/mu/stards aren't as intimidating or cool as mr Gira.

>>70645910
being intimidating hasn't been cool since 1950

>>70645939
I didn't say it was.

>>70645910
I really think you're joking. I know for a fact Gira attended an art school in his life, and I doubt he went from heroin to art school.
And Swans is about mocking intimidation and power tho

>>70644665
because he has a tiny lil donger

He did run away for school and was in Israel though he wasn't selling heroin but hash and he witnessed a rape of an arab boy not his.

>>70645993
Okay apparently it was just bricks of hash, not heroin. My bad. And he didn't get raped, some old hippies protected him.

>And Swans is about mocking intimidation and power tho
I know. I'm not saying he goes around looking like a big tough guy, but I've always personally thought he has an intimidating, almost scary presence, even if he has shown his more vulnerable side in a lot of his work. But maybe that's just me. In that post I meant intimidating and cool as two separate things.

because of his hat

>>70645993
It's not really about mocking masculinity and power. Gira isn't shallow enough to just satirize and mock. It's more of a commentary.

>>70644919
Not at all. It still see it discussed here daily.

he looks pretty happy in that documentary interview

>>70646351
It is mocking though. Not like SNL mocking, but still mocking. Their first 4 albums are uber nihilistic albums which make out basic human instincts as something to be laughed at by implying it's just as meaningless to be in power as a human as it is to be a slave.

>>70647615
If it's a simple as mocking he wouldn't have made it as heavy as it is. I understand it's not SNL mockery. It's like how Children of God is more of a commentary on religion and the Catholic Church than mockery. I like how reunion Swan has been a complete rejection of Nihilism though. I never thought his music truly accepted nihilism like some other no wave albums.
