APESHIT predated blogs, smart phones, social media, ChatGPT, and our only agenda was to write about the music we loved—to spread the good word. As the internet evolved and user habits changed, we made moves to adapt—for <em>20 years</em>. But life happened, tastes changed, and clicks over content just wasn&rsquo;t and isn&rsquo;t our jam. It&rsquo;s long since been time to lay this beast to bed. Here is APESHIT is its (likely) final form. This site will not receive any more content updates but all content will forever be preserved.</p>
