When people on Twitter have unkind things to say about musicians, they draw heavily on phallic imagery, at least according to the selection of mean tweets picked out for Tuesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live. With R.E.M. playing in the background, Nick Jonas and Alice Cooper didn't disagree with the tweeted descriptions of them, Green Day and TLC responded to their mean tweets with short discussions, Erykah Badu offered an explanation, Common offered an explicative, Pink and Adam Levine had some constructive criticism for their mean-tweeters, Zendaya took her tweet as a compliment, and Meghan Trainor looked sad. Pull on your schadenfreude and watch below. Peter Weber
