The Punk Rock MBA
In June 2015, McKenty established the website The Punk Rock MBA whose objective is to promote "career, business + life advice for the DIY community".[14] In September 2017, he began uploading YouTube videos primarily analyzing the music industry with a special focus on rock and heavy metal subgenres. Billboard praised the channel for its "deep research and endearing DIY production". By June 2019, The Punk Rock MBA had over 100,000 subscribers on YouTube.[13] As of September 2023, he has over 510,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel.
Stuff You Will Hate
In March 2009, under the persona Sergeant D, McKenty launched the comedy website Stuff You Will Hate which focused on satires of the heavy metal and hardcore punk subcultures and their trends.[15] It became an "internet phenomenon among metal and hardcore fans".[16] He also began to collaborate with comedy website Something Awful[17] and heavy metal outlet MetalSucks.[18] His writing alternated between comic and serious articles, the former, on occasions, featuring a deliberately provocative style.[18]
Stuff You Will Hate was praised by the Chicago Reader,[19] Vice,[16] and NPR, which named one of Sergeant D's articles the best heavy metal writing of 2010.[18] According to Sean Wright of WVUM, Sergeant D posts "brought back the spirit of satire-fanzines from the 90’s such as The Grimoire of Exalted Deeds".[2] Stuff You Will Hate closed in December 2015.[20]
