Mathcore: Am I a joke to you?
Made me think of the KMFDM line 'our music is sampled, its totally fake. its done my machines Cause they dont make mistakes!'
I was sharing music with a friend and their reaction upon being shown an artist (not even listening) was "ew less than 100k monthly listens”
bro? is this your metric for good music ? how many people listen to it on Spotify ?
if this is how avg ppl see music it explains a lot about top 40 charts
It's sadly a very common thing and applies to just about everything. "It's not popular so it's automatically bad", I'm just glad I'm not forced to be around people like that too often.
My mother in law used to refuse to eat in an empty or nearly empty restaurant. On the logic that if it's empty it must be bad. Never mind that the reason a restaurant is empty often has more to do with location than quality, or that it's packed for dinner and empty at lunch or vice versa.
Wild, I refuse to go to packed restaurants because my experience will be markedly worse.. my favorite time is between 2-4, because everywhere is dead then.
To each their own, I guess.
this is also why vote manipulation is a thing. people are prejudiced by the appearance of a consensus.
Oddly enough, I'm on the opposite side. Popularity ruins good things. I'm probably just bitter and cynical though. And that's also not to say that there aren't things with massive popularity that are also good.
Funny, cuz lots of the ones who say "ew less than 100k listens" will also say they're not into pop music. Wondering what they think "pop" is short for lmao
Pop is a genre, and does not necessarily stand for popular music
You're right and also wrong. It's a genre defined by being meant for an audience as wide as possible. It evolves over time like any genre, but in this case specifically what defines pop in an era is whatever is popular in some era. Trying to be popular is like the entire point of pop.

I remember getting made fun of in middle school for listening to Nevermind, you know just a landmark in rock music because it was at the time almost 10 years old. Sigh.
The world starts make a lot more sense when you realize the vast majority of people are just trying to be part of a herd and are either scared to think for themselves or completely incapable. It explains all the gargling of corporate nuts we see at every turn.

What makes an album "female"?
This was easier to figure out with CDs /s
Yeah, but then they tried going all woke in the late 90s with the CD-RW stuff and data reassignment procedures.
Wait until you hear what they did to serial cables.
RadioShack needed to be shut down for providing so many male-to-female adapters
Too much cable affirming care.
"The drives! They're making the CDs gay!"
All CDs have holes. None of them have penises.
rude
If she covers her CD case when you talk to her, she's a female album.
When the album identifies as one.
sales =/= quality
Hence why taylor swift is a billionaire.
Her father, Scott Swift, was a stockbroker for Merrill Lynch and notably purchased a 3% stake in Big Machine Records, the label that first signed Taylor, contributing to her initial success.
Like all billionaires she inherited everything.
Ah. I didn’t know that. But it makes sense. She can’t produce good music for shit. Ofc she had a head start. Ugh
How do you know an album’s gender?
It's easier to find on vinyl
Putting Man's Best Friend and Life of a Showgirl on the same level is slander
Yeah! Sabrina is way better than Taylor!
~ I don’t actually hold this opinion. I don’t actually give a fuck at all. But I do like them both just fine ~

Which is supposed to be the better album?
I don’t listen to either artist and don’t care for either of them from what I’ve heard on the radio and at malls so I’m not the best person to judge. I’m curious what your thoughts are though (and what the general consensus is).
I mean It is just a matter of opinion if course, but I think the common consensus was that this was not Taylor's greatest work, and Manchild is one of if not Sabrina Carpenter's biggest song right now.
I personally was never the biggest fan of modern pop music but it's been starting to grow on me.

Everyone tastes like something
Man, I don't know shit about modern music evidently.
I too, am old now.
Burn was so good, this is too quality for a shit post
So what are the names of the albums for those who want to verify?
I can safely say I know none of these albums. I've enough prior music to deal with first.
Personally the more popular an artist or band is, the less likely I'll enjoy their music.
This is broadly speaking and not universal, there are big exceptions like radiohead, massive attack, aphex twin, BICEP and tool, but for the most part, if something is in the charts, I'm probably going to hate it
It just came out, which probably why it's not on here, but I really enjoyed The Spinning Wheel by Mediæval Bæbes
