Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke is rarely shy about voicing his opinions on a variety of subjects via social media. Last week, Radke called out Motionless In White for apparently ripping off a Falling In Reverse video.
He also previously had a lengthy social media spat with SiriusXM DJ and rock ambassador Eddie Trunk after Trunk criticized Falling In Reverse for using laptops and backing tracks to help supplement their live sound.
On Sunday, Radke took to X to blast PC culture, and he called on bands to quit toeing the line in order to keep from alienating fans and followers.
“It’s time for bands to be themselves, and say how they REALLY feel not what they think is gonna keep them safe and sell merch and tickets,” Radke wrote.
“The age of raw, true individualism is on the horizon. just wait, PC culture is the most toxic culture of all. Comedians can’t be funny, musicians too afraid to be honest, politicians pandering for votes to weak minded sheep that follow the narrative, the New establishment is wokism and the people that get their feelings hurt over anything that doesn’t align with their mental illness. i don’t care if I disagree with you I can still be your friend, the issue is if they disagree with you they want to try to ruin your life and control a false narrative. We aren’t afraid of you.”
Radke then went back and forth with one of his followers who responded. The user wrote: “Sure, this tweet should be from 2020 when it mattered, & when the actions you describe were already taking place by a handful of far braver people, but hey, I guess now that dissent is ok, let’s jump on that wagon!”
To which Radke responded: “Yea man cause I haven’t been actively doing this since day 1, name another arena band vocalist saying this? Okay cool haven’t found one? Okay digress back into your pseudo intellectualism and defeat the purpose of what I said.”
The user replied: “Honestly I have no idea who you are, but if what you’re saying is true, then you’d have realized that comics & musicians have been fighting back the whole time & acknowledged at least one or two. Unless you’re that f*cking insecure…”
Radke again responded: “so you have no idea who I am yet you assume I jumped on a bandwagon when my entire scene of music is riddled with terrified musicians too afraid to say anything. it’s a big world mr intellectual. LMFAO”
