uhhh so for reasons right now i won’t name the band or dude in question but i really just dunno what to do.
i’m not trying to like ruin the band’s rep or anything because i DO enjoy their music and i even own some of their merch as well. Of course it’s kinda silly to call out some local small band for stuff like this but the thing is: this band is growing in popularity a lot and is touring with larger bands. I know a few members and ex-members mutually (like.. i know people who know them) and lowk they don’t know bout this.
anyways to the big deal:
The lead singer/screamer of this band is talking and is friends with 14/15 year old freshman in my high school.. the lead singer i think is in his early 20’s? i don’t know for sure. The thing is i don’t know if i should really say anything about this because i don’t think anything sexual or exploitative is happening??? I don’t know.
also this frontman has been confronted publicly and privately about talking to minors, the first time he denys talking to any minors, but then the second time he says that he “just recently was a minor”.. bud ur in ur 20s… which i think is strange that he would deny talking to minors if it is just “innocent friendly” stuff.. besides the fact.
i DONT want to drop names or anything rn because generally i have no proof or any evidence or anything to say anything. All i know is that this dude is close to kids in my high school 😭😭😭 if you know who i’m talking about don’t go and attack him or his band because i really don’t know…
aside from that if you are a teenager QUIT talking to these grown men in bands 😭😭 even if they are not ill-intentioned save yourself some trouble 😭😭

Hmm, one of my friends is in a prominent local band, and he was a senior when I am a freshman. We still talk often, and see each other a lot even though he is graduated and I am not yet an adult. I feel like relationships like that can be okay in some circumstances, especially as I know how it feels when people assume weird things (gets annoying), yet if he is denying talking to minors, didn't meet them in an environment where its normal to foster friendships with age gaps (school, camps, etc).. that's a little weird. I feel like if you know the minors in question personally enough to ask about the relationship, maybe do that? If not and there's no evidence of foul play I'm really unsure what you could do unfortunately :/
