I expected it to be higher tbh. This is probably the average score of most zillenials.

Low “unc” risk. “Unc” score: 20. Youth score: 80. Mostly fine, but a few cracks are showing. Stay vigilant.

Most cursed band photo ive ever seen

The band Sick from Belarus. On the left is a relatively normal looking guy in a sleeveless black shirt that says “support the blackmetal underground. We are all that’s left!”. His makeup makes him look like he has two black eyes. In the middle is a very pale man looking to the side with a scraggly red beard and a haircut that looks like he shaved off some of it then shaved some of it off in a different spot. He is wearing a black t shirt that says “69”. On the right is a skinny guy with a humongous shaved cranium wearing what appears to be a black dress and bandages from his elbows to his hands.
