Dismissive Engagement / dismissive engaging
When someone half-heartedly enters a debate just to shut it down, insult, or provoke — then immediately claims they don’t care, cutting off any real discussion.
They engage long enough to invalidate your point (or rile you up), but then retreat into “I don’t care” mode so they don’t have to defend themselves. It’s basically a one-way valve for arguments: their opinion goes through, yours gets dismissed.
• You: “I think the government should…”
Them: “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. But I don’t care anyway, go argue with someone else.”
• You: “Here’s why I like this policy.”
Them: “LMAO that’s trash, but whatever, not my problem.”

Get the <.7.9.7.6.>Any 100% Of The Drum Roll of The Bachs That I MissedFor The LicquorsI Missed, SPilling Onto The Floor Before Engaging With It<.7.9.7.6.>mug. A metalcore band that is actually different then others, The band contains 5 members
Justin Foley: Drummer
Joel Stroetzel: Rythm guitarist
Mike D'Antonio: Bassist
Adam Dutkiewicz: Lead Guitarist
Jesse Leach: Vocalist
Unlike other Metalcore bands. Killswitch Engage's song isn't filled with breakdowns and instead has a nice riff. Sure there's gonna have breakdowns but not enough. Also it's known for the former vocalist Howard Jones which is the best vocalist in the genre due to his powerful operatic vocals.
