The 498,516,889 Dead Virgins Great Postering of July 2024
Still laughing to this day hahahahahahah
Below you will find posters we put up in July 2024 and an archive of a reddit thread posted on r/ottawa July 21st 2024. This was in response to some posters we put up to promote a show we were doing at Avant Garde Bar, that ended up getting cancelled likely due to this promotion. Although, the owner stated they cancelled the show because "our lyrics promote violence", we booked the show at the start of the month, got dropped later around July 26th. We find this whole thing very funny. Thanks to all ya'll realcels who repped the band love ya keep truth-maxxing! Some real gems below, enjoy!

Feel free to print and post them yourself where you live or on your travels, we would have a laugh I'm sure, and take pictures (or not). I will make a public gallery if given enough submissions.

Seen these posters directing people to “deadcel.me” with a picture of Jordan Peterson around Centretown. The website seems to advertising a concert in August with this local Ottawa “incelcore” music band called like “400,000,000 dead virgins”. Their website has a bunch of edgy incel rhetoric and jokes? about women not being allowed to their concerts. Also references to Elliot Rodger. I am perplexed.
- Is this a real band?
- Is this an ironic internet culture thing or are these people actually misogynistic/pro-incel violence?
- Are there any issues with hateful incel rhetoric spreading in Ottawa? Does this have traction at the universities?
Comments
lol they updated the site to include a link to your post
entirely ironic. went to a show. all their girlfriends were there and plenty other well-adjusted university kids. drummer screamed he got no bitches and immediately after the show started making out with his girl. they played smash bros after.
Anyone who's actually been to any of their shows will know that those women are clearly just federally employed agents meant to keep an eye on these extremely dangerous and at risk individuals. Thank God our wonderful government stepped in or these men would've more than likely commited violent acts of domestic terrorism
keep on truemaxxing! last show this ger* shane put me in a headlock in the mosh pit, and after the set he enticed me toward smoking recreational marijuana with his cronies. entrapment!
Seems like it's some indie band
Based on their aesthetic, they've had their brains rotted through via unsupervised 4chan consumption from a young age, but based off a quick look they don't seem dangerous or anything, probably a mix of irony/overconsumption of that particular type of Internet content.
the problem is that even tho the band themselves may just be unserious or don’t seem dangerous doesn’t mean that their audience will be safe .
I second the brain rot. But I commend them. I had to drop out from this type of internet culture in 2017 because I just couldn't continue being a pro at it while also trying to actually live my life like a normal citizen.
This guy is definitely 100% ironic for anyone who's genuinely curious.
> definitely 100% ironic
I'm not sure how anyone could look at that website and not instantly get this.
It took me watching like 2 of the videos on the bottom to get the hint.
The guy posted some real gems that only a true mentally ill teen in the late 2010's would understand.
Most younger people just talk like anti-social dweebs from 4chan these days. Public safety concern.
I’m like 99% sure it’s a real band but the incel imagery is just an ironic thing to be provocative. But with incel rhetoric it’s so drenched in irony that it’s like hard to tell. Maybe I’m just being gullible.
Check out their instagram. It's 100% a joke.
Yeah whenever canadians see someone or something political or a certain buzzword majority believe it's real and never satire
Lol, incelcore.. 🤣
it is indeed a real punk band. they’re actually super chill guys. its all a joke, they don’t take themselves super seriously
Yes but we are still outraged anyway!
Seems like their marketing plan is working.
That’s what I figured. A lot of things like that tend to turn out to be ironic. Like we called our apartment (full of trans people) the Ben Shapiro fan club for a while, and even put that as our wifi ssid
I love this, well done
Punk is dead if this is what it's become.
You are wrong. Punk is totally about mocking the culture and politics of it’s time
Maybe by mocking the establishment and authority, but not by parroting a subgroup of people already universally shunned. That's called Satire.
Lots of punk is self-consciously tongue in cheek. We look at punk as inherently and only anti establishment / left-wing but that’s not necessarily true. An example of this would be the Ramones, one of the biggest punk bands of their time, have only one even vaguely political song. Punk covers a lot more than you think it does, satire included
I don't think a band advertising themselves as 'incelcore', is anything other than a comedy band. Sure, they may be competent musicians, Steel Panther is an AMAZING example of how a satire band can be genuine...but they're lampooning the genre of hair metal and it's obvious. If a 'punk' band has to attract attention by advertising themselves as a bunch of incels who don't allow women at their shows...they're just trying to create a bunch of misplaced outrage to drum up attention.
A lot of the OG bands (Sex Pistols, NY Dolls, etc) had trollish appearances but the difference is they genuinely behaved in a manner to back it up. Even the Ramones, who basically lampooned the entire punk scene by looking the part but played three chord 50's pop songs at an increased tempo. They were taking jabs at the Beatles, a manufactured pop band, AND the whole 'look at us, we're young and angry' punk scene. They didn't go around purposely pretending to be a bunch of disgusting misogynists who revere people who murdered innocent women because they wouldn't sleep with them, just to get attention. There's a big difference between acting out in a way counter to the mainstream, and acting out in a 4chan-esque cosplay of awful shit that is only going to be obvious to other 4chan-esque cosplay trolls.
Tongue-in-cheek would be NOFX from the early 90s...not Skrewdriver in the 80s.
How were the Beatles a manufactured pop band? They met in grade school, honed their skills by playing shitty clubs in Hamburg for years, and wrote all their own music lmao
Their entire image was cultivated and moulded by the record label for their first album. There's a reason they were not breaking young girls hearts by the millions before Twist and Shout came out. They eventually had the star power to do their own thing but without the label creating their image...they would have languished in obscurity. Twist and Shout made them famous in the UK and the label needed a way to get North America on board. 4 young, 'handsome' british boys that sang pop music...there's a reason their concerts were 95% teenage girls. Justin Beiber, The Spice Girls, NSync, NKOTB, it's all based on the Beatles path to success. Sorry to burst the bubble of 'hardworking english boys who also happened to be musical geniuses and just all happened to dress the same with the same haircut'.
Sorry buddy, “manufactured image” =/= “manufactured band”. The image is irrelevant and everyone already knows that about the beginning of their career. Ultimately they still wrote the music at that point in their career unlike any of the other pop artists you listed. that’s the important part.
...Who was Twist and Shout written
by?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TwistandShout
Yeah, it
was
a single cover song, and they did write all their own music...but they
didn't write ALL their hit songs ;).
The Beatles are secondary to my original statement, ultimately, and not really something I care about. I feel they were a manufactured boy band, designed to appeal to young girls, and my take on the documentaries is exactly that. I've never been a fan, and John Lennon was a shit human being after he got famous, so hey...there's that :).
Punk's not dead, it just smells that way.
First we had "Powerviolence" now we have "Incelcore"
these guys HATE women
I thought there was only 4 million dead virgins? now its 400 million?! THese women are killing us!@!!
Yo check out their demos they're pretty good. However I really hope they dont mutilate another girl on stage had to go to therapy :(
Was a venue mentioned?
Asking for a friend?
Yeah I saw the poster and went to the site and it said avant garde bar. I might bring a girl there with me to go and do some trolling
This might not be a safe location for her.
you could also go to have a good time and enjoy the show it could be fun

(Note: I did not archive this comment, from memory it was something about it making sense for our band to play at a soviet themed bar)4chan incels = nazis
Soviets defeated the nazis
Makes sense
1) Soviet Russia was more feminist than contemporary Western nations
2) Avant Garde is probably the best bar in Ottawa
I think it's disturbing how much these fringe ideologies have been normalized that it's even a question whether it's a joke.
I think it is a joke, the text is a pretty big tell (self conscious amount of buzzwords with direct quotes of Ben Shapiro and J Peterson - two fairly mainstream people everyone associates with the hard right) and it's pretty self deprecating and doesn't actually hit on that many incel talkint points. The danger is that all the serious fringe hate group types use irony already for plausible deniability so the risk is always that the audience takes it seriously, creates a bubble around the band, then the lines just blur and blur.
You gotta be really careful with irony these days, because even if you're being ironic there's a lot of people who aren't really - and it's those people that ruin it by teaching their followers to treat irony as a wink and a nudge. That said I don't think it's wrong to joke about, you just have to be really careful how you do it so as not to end up spreading their ideas for them. Haven't listened to their demos so I can't really comment on how well they pull it off.
Honestly if it's all meant to be making fun of incels and the people going know it, it could be a fun night. Much as it can go very wrong, I do think we need to have more cruel satire towards hate groups. Take back irony, so to speak.
I'm not surprised followers of Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro find it very hard to get laid. Who would be a follower of those weanies?
I would imagine you're right. Those two fascinate me but not in a good way.
I like how Ben Shapiro keeps changing his image to look more manly and still always looks like the biggest nerd in the campus conservative group.
Peterson's social media on the other hand could be a case study in radicalisation. He was already being anti trans when he misrepresented C16 but made it sound respectable on the correct assumption that no one would read the law, now he writes weird violent haikus, posts scary clown pics with "die woke die" type captions and seems to flip out whenever he sees a post involving a woman (trans or not). It's actually kind of scary to think this is coming from someone who could have retired a respected professor.
They have a mix of good and bad ideas but they're both weanies as people. They both made a career whining about things in high pitched voices. Which isn't very manly.
LOL the 90's called and wants their website back! Dear lord, my eyes! xD
I honestly doubt from the pictures in the gallery that they're harmful in any way. It's just a thing. Nobody gets shocked any more by the Satan worshipping thing, so you have to get 'edgy' to shock people. lol.
Yeah i've found the assaulting myspace aesthetic is back lmao
This is pretty problematic, as a young dude on social media, I see lots of incel/looksmaxxing posts even though I’m not part of that community and it seems have become pretty mainstream rather than a niche subculture. Bad things are to come if we don’t address this male loneliness “epidemic”
What I don't get is how are people this bad at getting laid. Like don't get me wrong I was a complete retard (I can use that word, I am one) when I was younger and would constantly cockblock myself, but I eventually figured it out, I never became bitter and spiteful of it, I knew I had to be a better person, to love myself before others could.
Like come on. Its not women, its you.
Seems like a heavy internet culture band they sound pretty good too, obviously some satire if you know
I made the mistake of checking out their “music” holy hell was that ever terrible. Did they record it on a 1st gen iPod touch or something??
Sausage Fest 2024
Glad if it's a satire thing and not a real thing. Imagine that many incels gathering in Ottawa. Is there even that many incels? I know the community is bigger than most think. Thanks for posting OP.
trust me there is. we should really do something about these absolute thugs
yes, i know them. yes, they are a threat. no, the police arent doing anything its literally disgusting i am unable sleep well at night knowing this is what the youth is up to its making me sick my eyes are itchy i cant stand the thought these beautiful ottawarian streets are being tainted by the sickening delusions of the youth it cant be real but im afraid it is so yes i know them, no they cant be stopped yes, we need to move away
I really hope this is some sort of new Ottawa copy pasta
Uh I understand nothing about any of this. How is the group a threat?
A bunch of outcast wanks. No females would wannabe around that hate.
half the people at their shows are girlies lmfao
Thanks for bringing this to my attention seems fun. Also you seem to use misogynistic and incel as interchangeable lol women can be incels too. Women who only get sex are incels so its equal opportunity lol. idk man you seem really hateful single 30 something year old, who wants to blame their problems on anybody else rather than realizing you fked up.
"You know, Black people can be racist too"
Can they? I mean you said it
It’s called being a virgin grow up.
yeah the guy incels are true and the girl incels like you aren't. know the difference to end your pump and dump cycle lol
I'm guessing it's around Ottawa Pride?
Okay. What makes you guess that?
