    Is anyone out there fascinated by Corey Feldman? A friend and I have been going down a big Feldman rabbit hole with YouTube videos and articles, mostly concerning his musical output.

    I wasn't aware until recently how little self-awareness that guy has. It feels like he's doing a bit, but I think he's squarely stuck in the the late 80's and adheres to whatever his definition of "cool" was as a 16 year old. He's STILL emulating Michael Jackson in style and moves; he was doing this as a teenager when MJ was the biggest thing on the planet.

    This is my favorite though: begging for money to make an album nobody wants, slagging corporate labels for not understanding his talent, deducing that 1 million views of a video GLOBALLY means the entire world wants more from him, and referencing meaningless music charts (some for Internet exclusive "radio" stations. It's like he's trying to sell time shares.

    But if you really want an entertaining video, watch his interview with Steve O on the Wild Ride podcast.

    • I think he was abused as a child ( Corey talked about that IIRC) Maybe a bit like MJ, that can manifest as a weird never growing up.monNom
    • *corey haimemonNom
    • I saw him open for orgy at the whiskey a few years back. He did the same MJ act you mentioned. The whole time we were like wtf is going on?scarabin
    • I remember watching him in movies as a kid thinking he must have had a cool life. I was completely wrong obviously.PhanLo
    • Angelic 2 The Core is the most fantastic mess you'll ever hear. I listen to it from time to time. So many "what was he thinking" moments.jagara
    • Please, please watch this 50 minute review XD XD XD https://www.youtube.…jagara
    • ^ That was on my list of videos to get to. Watching now.mg33
    • Imagine taking the job to play in his backup band. Sheesh.section_014
    • This is Skrillex, no?Krassy
    • It's so weird to try to wrap him up, because he got raped by MJ but is also a vainglorious hack and accidental comedian.garbage
    • He says MJ never touched him. Alphie Hoffman molested him.jagara
    • Yeah, but he also spent years defending MJ before finally saying he was just groomed. I personally think he's still so obsessed that he'll never admit it.garbage
