We asked Eileen Peltier, aka the goth-pop all-star Sports Boyfriend, to play a round of Love/Hate with us to inaugurate the dropping of her newest single and also because we wanted to know how she felt about everything from Super PACs to skateboarding.

Destination Weddings / Love
love crying, love drinking, love telling secrets to my family,
love screaming at the DJ to play “Call Me Maybe”
Owen Wilson / Hate
ugh
Making Out / Hate
confused by structure & worried about long-lasting consequences
Super PACs / Hate
(see making out)
Air quotes / “Love”
but actually I air quote a lot and it’s a not great habit that I have
GMOs / Love
I think a lot of GMOs are misunderstood but some of them are obviously more concerning than others — but I also really like ugly produce advocacy that’s like a pretty chill thing.
Steph Curry / Love
shoutout k8 ursu for telling me who that was
Home birth / Hate
Leave some things to the experts I think imo
Sting rays / Love
hi
Friendship / Love

Nike / Love

Boyfriends / Love

Beats By Dre / Love

Katie Holmes / Love

Disneyworld / Hate
everyone is gross there
disneyland is better
Commitment / Love
but it’s bad for the brand
I was destined to always buy coffee in twos tho so commitment is inevitable
