I think it's Ed being pressured into pretending he loves bands like Fugazi, The Frogs, etc due to the criticism of people like Cobain about PJ's music being too corporate. The extent to which Ed had to actually sell how much he liked those bands and then giving into letting it affect PJ's music was pretty embarrassing (to me). I wish he would have just rolled more with who he/PJ actually were, especially since most of Cobain's criticism came from a spot of jealousy.

By itself, no.

In concert with the flex ticket pricing, the 10C seating shaft, the awful Ukraine tweet, the poster artist story, the tequila and “no hyperbole” statement, the silly promo shots, yes. This is definitely the worst time to be a PJ fan. They’re a ridiculous business built upon marginally enjoyable art.
I don't really see any difference between the promotion of this album compared to Lightning Bolt or Gigaton other than the premium seats.

Bammer's post history wouldn't exist without Pearl Jam. So, that.
