secret_no_03 959 Posted September 13, 2019 I've been watching a lot of Do They Know on YouTube and holy fuck the vast majority of American music since 2010, especially the past few years sounds and is produced like trash. Literally everything that is popular this year is trash, and it used to not be like that, there used to be SOMETHING redeemable. It's odd that it's made me nostalgic for the music of the 90's and before and I used to avoid that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

secret_no_03 959 Posted September 13, 2019 I was so happy when Nicki Minaj announced that she was retiring. Also, why has a bbw who thinks she can rap, plays the flute and whose ass and twerking is her claim to fame is the new hero and voice of the generation for young black women? I'm sorry, but where the fuck is the next Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner or Lauryn Hill? 1 Komorebi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok but like I said, a lot of popular music isn’t bad. Sure, you can dislike it and I do have a few qualms with it, but many people enjoy it myself included. Lorde was popular back in 2013 with Pure Heroine and her hit royals and that was a masterpiece. I don’t understand why being popular suddenly means it’s bad. Sure it may be more by the numbers in some cases but many artists are trying new things and many sound different from others. Ex: Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift (who I consider myself a fan for many reasons) Edited September 13, 2019 by psychonnect_rozen 1 Komorebi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok sure some rap can be awful and I agree, but still, a bunch of shitty rappers doesn't generalize the whole genre of hip hop Same thing goes with pop music, one or many artists don’t generalize the rest 1 nullmoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So-called African Americans are the most glaring example of a collectively dysfunctional people, and unfortunately, everyone is profitting and benefitting from our dysfunction but us. There are deeper reasons for this that I won't get into atm, but rest assured, everyone from the local beauty supply shop all the way up to Capitol Hill are reaping the spoils of pillaging a ruined people and further enabling their continued dysfunction. So it's no marvel that the artists most heavily promoted to this group of people are avatars of dysfunction themselves. 1 secret_no_03 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azealia Banks has a very good recent meltdown/write-up on the status of the music (pop culture in general) that labels and management higher-ups actively invest in, and the reason for certain personalities dominating the media noise while not having the star quality or intentionally dumbing themselves down x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiyoharu is God 283 Posted September 16, 2019 If you don't like Kiyoharu just leave it at that. Don't be so melodramatic about it. You're not going to run into him. He doesn't hang around trash yards. 2 1 psychonnect_rozen, fruitfork and Gesu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come on people, I'm not telling you to stop following him and burn his all CDs, I've just posted my unpopular opinion. I can't do anything about it that for me his voice is annoying and face is disturbing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Don't tell me you don't have such a artists/bands/actors/etc. Not liking Kiyoharu is perfectly fine. His voice and style are definitely polarizing. It's just saying things like "if I met him I'd want to vomit" and "he should do the world a favour and put a bag over his head" feels a bit like overkill for a lighthearted discussion on an internet forum. I mean, it's not like he's going to read it, but that is a human being you're talking about. 2 psychonnect_rozen and Gesu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

secret_no_03 959 Posted October 6, 2019 I hate wireless charging, the slowness that things charge just to not have cords is not worth it, plus it created the rise of glass phones that break easy as fuck. On a side note I bought an ipod the other day and I'm going to see if I can use earpods and if they fit or some alternative works and they won't fall out of my ears I'll get Airpods.

Nor do I think being selfish is inherently bad, actually (in some cases it's actually beneficial). I just think it'd be better if adoption was more popular and I also see a lot of people having kids just because they want to without thinking about the fact that they're bringing another human life into this world that only exists because their parents thought they were worth it. I fully respect people who have children because they want to see a healthy human life grow up and flourish as opposed to "I want someone with my surname", "I want my parents to be grandparents cuz they want to be", "I want..." but that doesn't change my view that adoption is the more compassionate option. 2 1 CAT5, Kuro and ShTon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So If I understood you correctly, what you're saying is something like "having children isn't a bad thing in and of itself, but rather, it's the intent behind having children that matters, and that's where things can get a bit problematic?" Something like that? 1 Gesu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I totally agree with you tho. Bringing life into this world is a huuuuge responsibility, and it's obvious that a lot of ppl simply don't have a mindset that's conducive to raising children. Having a child for those selfish reasons you noted is definitely a huge issue...I know way too many ppl with multiple children that still think "everything is about them", while their children suffer. It's an absolute tragedy. 1 Gesu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
