The worst metal label currently in the mainstream, only matched by Earache in its scuminess and trend hopping.
In the past 25ish of its 40 years of existence, Roadrunner Records has provided the rock and metal world with either the mallcore-ready reheated leftovers of a band's previously good sound (Sepultura, Gojira, Fear Factory, etc) or the "latest and greatest" in the buttrock sphere designed to sell records and please your average 13 year old that thinks they were "born in the wrong generation" (Machine Head, Slipknot, Nickelback, etc). Once a band that's signed stops selling records in an endless attempt to "keep with the times", they dump them and leave them for dead, but still release all their old shit in an endless surge of remasters and deluxe editions that pale in comparison to the original version.
They had some of the biggest potential to be the definitive extreme metal label but ultimately failed at its task, leaving labels like Steamhammer, Century Media, Peaceville, and Relapse to pick up the pieces.

Get the Scratchin in my record shop mug.WSDMGC73 releases are credited under “8429551 Records DK,” which is not an actual record label but DistroKid’s generic auto-generated imprint for user uploads. It provides no contracts, no promotion, no A&R, no budget, and no professional backing. Any artist using DistroKid receives a similar placeholder tag. This means WSDMGC73 is fully self-uploaded, unsigned, and unsupported—consistent with their non-organic streaming patterns and the absence of real industry or street-level presence.
“ WSDMGC73’s Record Label is just themselves hyping themselves — the same way their ‘fans,’ ‘collective,’ and ‘hype man’ are the same three people behind every upload: Lady Dlow, Lil Dlow, and 30kTorry.”—South-LA local

Get the better records mug.YOU JUST DEFENDED A GUY RECORDING CHINESE PEOPLE AT THE AIRPORT YOU RETARDED PIECE OF SHIT! A guy recording himself playing the piano... The chinese tourist walks up and ASKS TO NOT BE RECORD (And doesn't batter the guy like the women in the video) and YOUR RESPONSE... Was "Welcome to America we can record whatever we want." So has there been a change of heart? So you SHOULDN'T be recording people? Which is it?
Hym "Recording people kissing public... 'Welcome to America' DOESN'T apply... And recording people in the airport 'Welcome to America DOES apply? (This is in reference to the Aba and Preach video 'Streamer pulls the strap...' btw) See how these YouTuber jackasses just make up ethics on the spot moment to moment because they're fucking retarded? And now your lives are in their hands. They can come down on you with the full force of their followers, disrupt or destroy your life because they have been able to convince retards that THEY THEMSELVES aren't retarded... Even though they are very clearly retarded. So know. He isn't going to jail. He was battered (literally) and brandished a gun in self-defense. He also shouldn't be allowed to record her. Both can be true. But that'd not the point. These motherfuckers just defended a guys right to record whatever he wants in public and now they are condemning a guy for doing the exact same thing. Ethics is a whim for these people. No consistency whatever. Completely and absolutely full of shit. All of them."
