Every era has its gems and its turds but there’s definitely some eras that are better than others in terms of what’s popular aligning with what’s good.
Imo the early-mid 90s were a particularly good time for American popular music across the board. The late 90s-mid 00s largely were not.
I dont like nu metal, I never did and I still don’t
Franz Ferdinands self titled album is wall to wall bangers and I will die on that hill
Things got better around Ws 2nd term but 1998-2004 was miserable
I’m serious you have to hear how bad my childhood sounded!
There were dozens and dozens of bands that sounded exactly like this

Rock in the y2k era sounded a lot more like that than American Idiot, on the whole
They’re playing sk8r boy on the radio at the pizza place and this is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard
THANK YOU
Had you never heard it before
This is part and parcel with the preferences that lead to fast fashion.
Ppl want to engage in snobbery on the cheap, and insofar as they cannot afford the highest prestige goods they want to blame someone else for not having them, rather than admit that they’re fine with the cheap shit.
Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success
George Woker Bush and his father, the late George Her/they Woker Bush
Not that things aren’t really bad right now but it’s remarkable how little trump personally cares about trans stuff
It could definitely be a lot worse
He was a Bernie 2016 guy. He used to put on a vaguely left affect but he was always basically like this
Trump and his ilk are positively obsessed with bodies—with their mangling, their alteration, their sexuality, and their destruction.
I wrote about it for @liberalcurrents.com

Somehow objectifying a female form WITHOUT an underlying humanity is so much worse
The problem with Tilly Norwood was that being chaste and respectable was supposed to be her selling point
The real audience for an AI celebrity wants goonbait!
A huge portion of the dunks were *literally* making fun of her for being 24 and I struggled to find a single one that actually engaged with the content of what she wrote
I read the one from yesterday about political lesbianism and mostly agreed tbh. It wasn’t great writing and I came in already sympathetic to her position but the content itself was fine. I thought the line about bowing to no authority but her mother was cute
I guess what I'm saying is that if you think the US is the Great Satan and both parties are warmongering imperialists and the concept of law is a web of lies spun by the wealthy and powerful to entrap the proletariat, then why exactly are we arguing about the wording of Democratic press releases?
"You are loved! Not by me, obviously, i mean, come on, but like, surely some weirdo loves whatever you've got going on!"
Live in Seattle long enough and you begin sorting the world into this chart
Seattle is americas most horny-polarized city, it’s buttoned down for 90% of the population and a den of sin for the remaining 10
Al Overview In 2015, reports surfaced that Danae Stratou, an artist and wife of former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, inspired Pulp's 1995 hit "Common People". She matched the song's lyrics as a wealthy Greek student studying sculpture at St. Martin's College in the late 1980s, where she met Jarvis
Also his wife was the inspiration for by far Pulp’s greatest song
Me: And so in “Queering Mario,“ I argue that as Super Mario Brothers 2 (USA) was just a dream but Birdo was later shown to exist in the real world in Mario Tennis, suggesting that Mario physically manifested a tulpa of his repressed transsexualism.
Audience Guy: What does this mean?
Me: Idk lol.
Blue states have the strongest trans protections in the country! Congressional Dems have reliably stood firm against federal anti-trans legislation, even the PA Ogre! The House Dem minority got anti-trans amendments stripped last month!
What the fuck reality do these people inhabit???
gonna probably tap this sign a lot over the next four years
Thing about generalizing to cis people is that cis people are around 99% of the population and thus round cleanly to "people". Unless you're talking about cisness itself you're just generalizing about people.
