ERIN MICKLOW Speaks On The STILL PIST! Drama 

2024; the year we start gate keeping again. "Im gonna hire a body guard" is one the most unpunk things she has said

I used to be on Erin side but after this, I realized what people don't like her......Erin stop with all this extra unnecessary shit...and why do you keep tagging Morracan lounge...what are you expecting a refund?? A year supply of free lunch buffet??

Ok so she says East LA is ghetto then gets up in arms that the community isn’t sticking up for her 🤔

This woman thrives on the attention; good or bad. Bands, people, etc should just ignore her.

I’m not trying to dig or critique Erin Micklow as a person; but viewing this purely objectively, she is just rife with contradictions & inconsistencies. Maybe Erin Micklow thrives on the struggle & conflict - or maybe she should just pick a side & stick with it to be safe. She really needs to honestly evaluate all the contradictions that keep pulling her down & putting her in harm’s way. You be the judge: (1) She deigns herself as a punk (or at least dresses as a punk) but also calls herself and also works as an actress/model/influencer, who has been in some small time films and features. The general themes of punk in of itself is antithetical and or rebellious against Hollywood glamour and systems of control; of which the actress/model lifestyle is decidedly entrenched. (2) Erin Micklow tries to straddle multiple lines and identities that it appears inauthentic and fake and unreal. She has literally one foot in the “punk” world & one foot in the “influencer” Hollywood celebrity world. She has lots of social media pictures of her walking red carpets to Hollywood parties & events; while also going to popular festivals and large shows with all the big punk bands. She is called a “poseur” and a pretender and a fake punk because she can or tries to straddle the line. It’s like if Kim Kardashian or Kendall Jenner wanted to dress down as a punk or metalhead and go to a Slayer show - but then sit up in a VIP balcony & never go into the pit or wall of death. She just talked about how she hooked up a punk rock band with a Hollywood connection to get featured in a Hollywood production?! Really not so punk. Even actual Hollywood connected punks like the Vandals’ Joe Escalante (whom is a screenwriter, entertainment law attorney & former television executive) … don’t drop posts about their pull in Hollywood. Punks would respect Erin Micklow if she chose to be a punk or a non-punk or even a Hollywood celebrity or even just a clingy groupie. Punks (mostly) don’t care if you are punk enough or even punk: they care if you are real and authentic. But Erin Micklow tries to straddle multiple lines and assume multiple identities- & it comes across as inauthentic and fake. Simply put, you can’t be everything to everyone. (3) She styles herself as a punk; but most of her social media posts are very materialistic in nature: e.g.: to show off how hot & sexy & skinny she is; how skimpy her outfits are; her beauty routines; how much she’s accomplished & how many things she has, etc. Her social media refers to her modeling in various outfits, her condo in Hollywood that she also uses as an Airbnb; her new vintage car; her boyfriend; her vacations and trips to Vegas & Mexico; etc. It’s basically like a Kardashian Instagram feed - it couldn’t be any less punk. Punk is generally antithetical to such overly excessive & rampant displays of materialism. Most regular punks only post on social media them actually doing punk things like going to punk shows, playing in bands, buying records, making records & merch - aka actual regular things and tasks related to punk. They generally don’t boast about their displays of wealth or accoutrements or achievements of their private lives. (4) Erin Micklow is FULLY AWARE and conscious of these contradictions and instead of trying to mitigate the criticism and harm; she actually LEANS IN FORWARD to embrace the criticism, harm, and the consequences & then later COMPLAINS bitterly about the consequences. Part of the punk ethos is to be resilient when bad outcomes occur and weather criticism; but then deal with it & try to mitigate later harm and injury. Erin Micklow is aware that she is a model/actress/influencer who dresses up as a spiky haired, leather clad punk & gets in thick with a crowd of fellow punks that were chugging 40’s in the parking lot. Or maybe she is really a dirty tatted street punk who saw “Pretty Woman” and gussies up for four hours by styling her hair; corsetting her frame & squeezing into a vinyl mini dress so she can make a fashionably late entrance on a Hollywood red carpet walk. She knows that she can cross into both worlds easily. But certainly not seemlessly. She gets into trouble when the punks call her out on the actress/model/influencer persona and the dress up punk part. She is absolutely RIGHT and correct that those irritated punks are jealous of her RU-vid fame, her beauty, her achievements - or that those detractors and punks perceive her as a fake punk, a pretender, a “dress up punk”, or a “poseur.” She is aware that she made herself a target to some - and yet acts or appears blissfully oblivious to it. Erin Micklow kinda takes and suffers the long hard way thru it: She suffers needlessly without mitigating, before eventually getting a clue. She actively complains & engages her haters. I mean she often puts a target on her back and then complains when others hit it. (5) She practices transcendent meditation; but somehow doesn’t give her the inner peace to ignore her bullies and haters. Meditation is supposed to make you more resilient and patient with others, along with improved health benefits of better breathing and blood pressure regulation. Obviously the meditation isn’t helping. People romanticize about punk rock and the punk scene as being “the free space” to do whatever you want, and maybe Erin Micklow has internalized this mantra to a fault. But that naive notion has been long repudiated. In reality, it is still a clique and a faction. It has certain rules and limits. The punk scene has its own faults, walls and gatekeepers. Punk is open to all; but it certainly is not welcoming to all. You can enjoy the punk music all you want; but when you call yourself a “punk”, you’ll see firsthand how soon the knives come out. Punk has historically had problems with racism, bigotry, homophobia, sexism and misogyny. Even today Punk is not a completely safe space for women, as Justin Sane of Anti-Flag showed. Most vocal punks are either left of center, progressive or radical left & would rather scream and bully others than want to engage different viewpoints in a civil manner. You can never be punk enough; because other punks like to draw newer lines and newer ways to discriminate (I.e. you’re not crusty punk; you’re not broke enough; Green Day & Blink 182 are not punk; pop-punk is not punk; ewww, you probably like the Casualties). Gatekeeping never ends. It’s ironic that Erin Micklow and her social media brand actively targets and appeals to a segment of punk rock fans and punkers, of which a significant segment might actually become her biggest haters and detractors. It’s as if she flirts with being both simultaneously adored and hated by her same target demographic. If Erin Micklow wants to identify as a punk; she is free to do so; but she has already learned the hard way that the punk community & punk scene has massive walls, limitations & unwritten rules that she punkishly tries to defy & unfortunately, she will continue to suffer the consequences.

People like this(Erin) don’t understand that bands like Rancid, The Adicts… are not the scene. The “scene” is based on bands that play every weekend, pass their own flyers. Those are pretty much the mainstream bands in the genre

Did she just call east LA “ghetto”? Must be nice growing up a privileged rich life.

I'm so glad I grew up in the 80s punk scene. This shit now is lame. We never went to shows for work or make money we went for fun and to see the bands.

She's all over socials calling you a gaslighting misogynist lol

Q: “Did he hit her?!” A: “I didn’t see him do that…” 🚩🚩🚩

She cant control the comments on this post and she will regret that.

The way she kept derailing the conversation to plug her modeling and acting bruh 🐀 🐀🐀

Nacho does ALOT for this scene always has. Way before this chick came along. He brings bands over that never get to play or haven't played in a long time. He brings them here pays for everyone, feeds them, gets their merch made. Does it all. Then theres you that try to get into everyones shows they've worked hard on for free just to interview lets say a band like Acidez that you never gave a shit about before because you didnt even know who they were. You were too busy documenting a vacation in Mexico that no one gives a shit about instead of trying to see what bands you coukd interview in Mexico. Then once they played at Rebellion all of a sudden you want to interview them. Like you know who they are or something. You don't know shit about the scene or the music and then try and use everyones hard work to try to get famous from. Literally the only way you can be on camera and be seen is by "interviewing" bands and its hilarious.

It's annoying how she said keeps putting me and my bf into this. We were leaving the show, and we saw her... we took the video because its Erin... come on.. that's funny. After that we went home and forgot about it. We got a message an hour later saying she was jumped. We didn't know who or how it happened. Then we found out it was over a Dogface Bastard sticker..... I DIDNT MAKE THEM. They are being passed all over LA. The only affiliation I have with that sticker is that its my bfs band, and he didnt make them either. I made a tik tok of my night... and she happen to be in it.. now shes throwing my name around? Ugh...

I thought you did a great job... however Erin posts that you gaslight, victim blamed, antagonized and spoke over her. Conveniently she has turned off the comment section.

I said this in the chat, but I'll repeat it here. "Anyone that knows me has seen me get assaulted" is such a wild statement. If it's true, it should warrant a hefty amount if self reflection, but I don't see that happening.

Interesting that she has the comments turned off on her post, where she claims that the host was ignoring, and speaking over her, yet she is actually the one cutting him off.

The living embodiment of the word POSER

It’s taking me 5 business days to get through this train wreck. There’s a lot wrong here but one of the things I can’t get over is the constant dropping of her new car, her many “boss babe” careers, suddenly dropping all of these extra details that could’ve been mentioned a week ago, cutting you off, talking over you, giving you attitude for asking questions to get answers, adding all of these worst case scenarios into the fight just to make it sound worse, I don’t know if I can keep going

She got banned because she profiting off our scene and never did shit for LA punk rock or took care of the punk bands and vendors in the scene. So basically she getting rich off us and the punk scene. The way she complaining about losing a fight, she will definitely hate the punk rock in the 80s and early 90s lol.

Should have asked her about the SA allegations against her of a minor who was sleeping, and her bullying a 14yo girl telling her to put a bag over her head for feeling ugly... she's also done countless racist things. She asks for this kind of attention and I think she loves it. You were way more patient with her than she deserved.

The way she talks about having "fans"... she's insanely full of herself. Her eyes drifted into outer space when you asked about her self awareness.

she just wants to exploit the punk scene to make money.

she seems like the type of person that i got into the punk scene to avoid.

If she's that concerned about her safety in public. Well maybe its time she gets another line of work 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

Erin reminds me of a news reporter who reports on bands and gets given a list of questions. She dresses in a costume to fit in but doesn't actually fit in.

I wonder what bogus story it's going to be this time. The fact that she reposted her boyfriend's over the top worse accounts of the night that are soooo different than what her story was of that night, her credibility is gone. First it's 1 on one, now he claims a group of men were in the bathroom also and he was scared they would sa her.

Bad interviewer, bad actor, bad "influencer", she's a triple threat.

“i get assaulted all the time, this time i wasn’t gonna let it go” “i didnt hit her first” which one is it Erin? Damn, i wish i knew about this interview before it was being recorded so that you could ask her why she’s deleting comments of people calling her out on her r@pe allegations. i doubt she’d let you get a word in edgewise but she needs to be held accountable for it. not gonna lie i found your channel from all this drama and have checked out other videos, good stuff man. all i’m gonna say is i think it speaks volumes one interview was 20 minutes and another was 2 hours. even with you asking questions she’s making long drawn out justifications & excuses. and calling the area she’s closest to with a huge & thriving punk scene “ghetto”? bringing people’s dead family members up? “i don’t wanna deal with the punk scene unless im working”

Just because you've never seen any of these people before "in your life" doesn't mean they are nobodies and aren't doing shit in the scene. You only interview bigger bands because you're a coattail rider. If you knew anything about the scene in the city you live in you'd know the newer bands and would try to interview them. You don't know any newer bands or even less known older bands and aren't even trying to find out who's doing what in this scene BECAUSE YOURE NEVER AT ANY SHOWS. Total Chaos didn't put you on the list. Why do you think???? Nacho wanted you off the list before you even got there. It was a Nacho show. You are not welcome at his shows so why come period?

Yeah shes definitely not making herself look good talking shit about peoples dead family members, calling East LA ghetto, and saying she hates the scene shes actively trying to be a part of...yikes

At the 1:43:54 mark she says "I'm not trying to squeeze my way into where I'm not wanted." She literally has been for years though. She has a big chip on her shoulder because she knows she's not liked in the L.A. Punk scene, yet she continues to try to get into these shows for free saying that she's "Press/Media". If she's not trying to squeeze her way into where she's not wanted then why does she continually invite herself to "parties" that she's not invited to? You think she would get the hint by now.

All imma say on this initial comment is this is why gatekeeping is good

she thinks shes a “celebrity” sorry sweetheart, youre not a punk rock celebrity.

She posted this on her IG and has now disabled all her comments, this speaks VOLUMES

Why doesn't she just stop exploiting the punk scene. It is so obvious she's trying to look and act punk so she can get more attention on her social media page because she's an influencer. I hate cancel culture but she is one of the few people that literally deserves to be cancelled. Punk rock is way more than just a type of style or fashion, to a lot of people it's a way of life, it is something that is very dear to them. For someone like this to come and take what is near and dear to you and use it for views and likes is really shallow. Punk shows need to ban her.

I was surprised that the interview lasted 2 hours and 23 minutes. I thought she was gonna get upset early on and end the interview . At least she is quite the storyteller.

She didnt get banned from CY Fest. She tried to get in for free and when they told her she had to pay to get in, she said she was just going to not come and they just said "okay".

She's been in the scene since 2012. She should already be somewhat used to the dark side of it.

Whoever is holding the footage hostage, please release it.

Can we acknowledge how much the story changed? Adrian went in on a woman on woman fight in the women’s bathroom then tried to say Erin was getting “jumped” hinting at SA…which is factually incorrect on both accounts…fake SA allegations makes it harder for actual survivors of SA to get justice. They should publicly apologise for that.

I subscribed to you due to the mental strength and your unending patience. I cannot believe you were able to speak to this woman for more than 5 minutes. Respect brother.

Something about this women drives me up the fucking wall.

To bring someone’s pain in losing family shows the person you really are .

Ugh man she is the embodiment of entitlement. Props to you for dealing with that narcissism for that long. Just discovered your channel a few weeks back and had no clue who this person was before a few days ago and let’s just say I enjoy your album reviews and other shows much more than hearing some “glam punk” interrupt you for two hours straight. Respect brother ✌️

She’s calling you a misogynist on her stories for accusing her of interrupting you. I would say her self awareness is 0/10 at this point

She's done weed 🤦

“Exposed windpipe” girl needs to shut up already

I'm kinda annoyed by how she keeps cutting you off lol

Basically she got the standard old school treatment in any extreme scene intended for people who shouldn’t be there as they are there for the wrong reasons. Cope harder

"When I was 16, there was a guy in my class who wore a punk vest, and his name was George, George Glass."

The trauma counselor😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It’s so weird that she did not post this interview on her socials… first off, my dude, you showed great restraint in what I’m sure you wanted to say. Secondly she is a liar and she sucks

This girl is full of drama and she is dying for attention... she is so annoying

Love that she tries to school this dude with her 'insider knowledge' of how skinhead rob and rancid came to be 😂 pretty sure everyone knows that and it's common Wikipedia knowledge that he was a roadie, this dudes probably forgotten more than Erin will ever know about punk

My sole opinion is that EM has been trying to establish herself as a Punk Sex symbol but has gone about it in a really weird way. The internet is a weird place and people are searching for validation in places. I know cyber bullying has cost lives, but lying about being assaulted is not fucking right!

Shes milking the crap outta this

first off i didnt make the stickers..... my bf and i were leaving the show early and we saw them.... we didnt witness her getting jumped... we were home ... again lying

I never had an opinion of her before but very well aware of who she is. But after this interview, she's batshit crazy.

All the therapy and her therapist hasn’t called her out on her god complex??

Besides casuals and people who aren’t in any of the US punk scenes, everyone in the scenes don’t welcome a rich girl pretending to be punk and trying to monetize it. She’s limited her IG comments to try to control the narrative. People are tired of it lol

This is the last comment I’ll make on here: she talks abt how she’s friends with a lot of the bands she’s interviewed and how they like her. Like yeah, that doesn’t mean shit. Of course she’s sucking up to those people. But we’ve all seen that screenshot of her telling a 14 year old to put a bag over her head. How a person treats public figures is not indicative of their character, but how a person treats who they consider to be random people says everything about who they are.

I truly hope any bands she’s interviewed and future bands she wants to, see this video and all of her IG drama and refuse to work with her ever again. I can’t imagine after all of this anyone wanting to have any kind of association with her. Her “career” is pretty much dead

the fact that she was banned from Punk Rock bowling speaks volumes. Even mainstream punk doesn’t want her involvement.

maybe im being paranoid but is she trying to product place "kyla hard kombucha" in your interview? i feel like everytime she picks up her cup she tries extra hard to make sure the logo is right in the camera frame.

Also loved how you gave a shout out to Dogface Bastards 😂🤘🏼

If you're a narcissist, you need thicker skin

I’ve worked many bars and shows and Everytime this lil lady would come in she’s been difficult. She would give the door man a hard time about paying any cover because she was on “their list” despite her name not being there. When she’d come to the bar she’d ask for free drinks saying she’d plug the business in her next show and when we refused she would throw her “don’t you know who I am” bullshit around. The owner would sometimes give her a drink or two just to shut her up. In my humble opinion, she’s a self entitled brat who doesn’t like to be told NO. You Sir have done justice in helping to bring her true self to light!

She is calling him misogynistic now bc hes not kissing her ass and telling her how right she is.

When she came for someone’s dead family my jaw dropped- evil

Jesus Christ, you gave this narcissist two fucking hours?!

This was uncomfortable to watch. Randall, you did well though.

It’s odd to me that a person who has supposedly been assaulted would not involve the police, yet instead resort to reputation attacks (the female version of violence against men) in self-administered pseudo justice. Now justice is social media and who can spin the most effective story. Which option is the more worthless or cowardly?

I've played in tons of punk bands since I was a teenager and toured all over and never met anyone that had anything nice to say about her. Idk not EVERYONE can be lying! I'm only 20 minutes in and already I feel like shes gonna beg you to take this down in a few days lol I'm really not buying her story.

The amount of time you almost lost it because she kept cutting you off is crazy 😂😂 You kept it very cool tho i'd lost my shit

I used to feel like Erin was unfairly judged and just trying to do her own thing but all this has made me feel differently. Especially this interview. She blew this up way bigger than it needed to be and brought more hate on herself.

I wanna hear from the girl who was in the stall standing on the toilet when she crawled under. Lol Why haven’t we heard from her, can she get an interview next? 😂

Went out to the garage and dug out the bullshit detector for this one. Yup, it still works.

You have the patience of an actual saint throughout this whole interview. Erin really dug her own grave here in exposing herself as a lying narcissist while you gave her so much grace and benefit of the doubt. She was condescending as hell the entire time and you were so polite and chill. Following your channel from now on, great work dude!

Idle hands are bad, mmkay? Really what you said toward the end was great, she has potential to be likable and is a bit wrapped up in the wrong crowd. She took that as id expect her to, probably felt like being talked down to a little but what do you expect when you act this way? If she humbled herself and ignored people giving her shit I'd probably like her a bit, but her thing seems the opposite, ego leading to conflict that she capatalizes on the attention of. Not to mention she leans heavy into the surface aesthetics and proudly wants to be a costume punk. To each their own but itll always rub people wrong the way she does it, seems like a bastardized cliche of what's already the most garish punk style

Erin was definitely not the bigger person in all of this. Im not saying Randi was right but something tells me that Erin could have not let her ego get the best of her and she could have calmly confronted Randi. I think Erin chose to get violent and thats when Randi started fighting her with fists. Then Erin let her boyfriend beat on Randi. Erin doesn't support women or punks. She definitely started talking down on punks as all aggressive and just fucked up people. I mean yes, we do have those people but we zlso have people not like that and she basically just lumped all punks who are very involved in the culture as all unhinged. She has a superiority complex. She lacks accountability.

I have known plenty of punks who would dress down and work office jobs. The difference between her and them is that they dressed down for work, not dressed up for work

Why do you still go to shows? “It’s my job.” Wtf is that. Not because I love the music, people, or culture. Punk rock is a job to her

She mentioned "Hippie Punk". She just created a new sub-genre of Punk.

Ptsd?nightmares?seriously.you got punched kn the face.so what it happens youre kn the wrong sub culture

Damn, I sat through this entire thing. God that was like having to sit through one entire single math lecture. I stand right with you, though. I don't agree with how much she gets harassed. But I'm also not a fan of her personality. I felt myself rotting when she talked about her expectations of her enemies. Now I'M exhausted. But uh, I appreciate you reeling out from both parties. I'm moving on now.

I' would see her at shows since 2016. she always be hiding. acting like shes the queen of the punks spoiled, bratty. she never spoke or interacted with none of us. during sets she would go running to the bathroom and then run back ton her v.i.p room. i once tried to say hi at the exploited show and she ignored me

New viewer here. Found you through Erin's instagram post. She trashed you on the post, but encouraged her followers to watch the interview. I felt your frustration throughout, but you kept it cool.

The way she say 'Randall' lmaooo

I have watched this a few times over. I only just found your channel when you made your first video about this subject. I have to say that you are a really great interviewer and im now a follower. We need more interviews like you in the scene, not ones like Erin. Your interviews feel real and genuine!

Jesus I'm sorry you had to do this bro 😆

What a narcissist!

1:09:50 So Tim from Rancid invited her to the next night’s show when she was 17yrs? Not a good look for Tim given his past with underage girls.

This interview was wild.

Damn i am happy to be 57 years old and to have been fortunate enough to have seen Angry Samoans without any of the kindergarten fights going on in our scene. ATX also has only a small scene of fashion punks, and for that i am thankful. Big Boys, Buttholes, Scratch Acid, and the rest of the pure genius noise that came f4om our fair town was a special thing and this reinforces how cool we had it. Clothing did not matter.

Finally getting through this whole thing. If this happened to me from another woman I’d fight back and that’s it. We might even be cool a week later. This is wild. Calling it assault is WILD. It was a FIGHT. This is so hard to watch lol. She is so full of shit on so many things and you can tell when she lies because she sucks at it.

Watch her eyes when she answers questions. She looks away

She hasn't once mentioned what she did wrong in this whole scenario

Co-oberated is not a word. Cooperated (to work with) Corroborated (to confirm or support) But not cooberated.

“not safe for patrons”? NO, its not safe for YOU! lolol
