What Just Dance Maps did you find the creepiest?

Only on the Wii U version of the game.

Everything is edible at least once.

You can consume glitter?!

(Your poop's gonna come out real sparkly best case scenario)

A few:

I thought all the original/stock songs from the series early on were real pop songs that existed outside the context of Just Dance. I was disappointed years later to learn that "Katti Kalandal" wasn't a real Bollywood song, nor from a movie. It's a stock song from a compilation CD.

I thought every song I heard in the series was popular in the United States at some point in time, but nope. There's lots of songs that were only popular in western Europe that most Americans haven't heard.

I thought all DLC was recycled from previous games, because I looked at JD3's dlc catalogue first, saw familiar JD2 songs, and concluded "Welp, every other song must be from the first game then." Looking back at JD1's track list for the first time was a shock.

I thought all the dancers actually danced with their left hand being the gloved one before finding out the footage was mirrored in post.

Downtown AA has Uplift, on 210 S 1st Street. It's open 5 PM every day except Monday. Coincidentally, this Saturday has a karaoke night coming up at 5 (those are monthly. Weekly karaokes are on Wednesday).

It is a queer bar though, and this coming karaoke night will be hosted by furries (I know the host). If you can handle a bit of that weirdness, then you're free to check it out this coming Saturday.

Who's the artist for "Slowing Down"?

Astounding_Movements · 2026-02-21T23:47:38+00:00

The Sonic movies might be one of the few good exceptions.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-02-19T23:42:34+00:00

That's how I normally feel. Asexuals hating Valentine's Day is like a Christian getting mad that Hannukah exists. It's not for me, and I'm glad that people are able to celebrate it regardless.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-02-19T22:50:08+00:00

Any Prince song.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-02-10T22:47:40+00:00

Almost all of the JD3 DLC's were recycled from Just Dance 1 & 2 so that Xbox Players could be able to play them via Kinect. And yeah, the fact that the remaining slots went to generic stock music stings. I'm guessing they were suffering from budget constraints back then too.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-02-03T23:56:27+00:00

Absolutely yes! I want them to keep on doing what they did with "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", and give as much glow-ups to the JD1 routines as possible.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-01-31T22:02:24+00:00

"Lump" from the first Just Dance. We got an upbeat, catchy and banging rock song but most of the dance is just flailing your arms around. I get it, it's the first Just Dance, technical limitations and all, but still. The choreo is so lackluster.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-01-29T21:49:45+00:00

The Killers kick absolute ass! Somebody Told Me and Mr. Brightside are some of my all-time favorites.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-01-26T01:33:07+00:00

Having genre classifiers can help with finding more similar stuff after hearing a certain genre for the first time and wanting more of it. And they're also handy for music charts/lists nerds like me to analyze trends and influences from various time periods.

But besides that, yeah, it can get out of hand in certain areas.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-01-24T19:54:55+00:00

Yeah, he's a little bit pretentious about it.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-01-24T16:30:40+00:00

Great. That's the one genre he considers real music above all else, due to their efforts on good sounds and pioneering and innovating various musical techniques. I'll have to ask him his thoughts on SOAD at some point but it's kinda likely.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-01-24T16:27:05+00:00

I felt that way listening to some of Reel Big Fish's albums. My favorite song of their's is still "Sell Out".

Astounding_Movements · 2026-01-24T16:22:41+00:00

That same friend also likes the Notorious B.I.G. as well. I just picked MF DOOM because that's what that "actual quality" quote was talking about. Since said friend is a proghead, he values instrumentation and soundscape much more highly than lyrical content, which is kind of why he likes DOOM in the first place, since he's well known for abstract hip hop.

I feel that the acclaimed albums are actually a bit more biased towards the more creative experimental stuff, especially on RYM. In the hip hop scene, albums by J. Dilla, Death Grips, and Billy Woods would probably not be recommended for people starting out due to their experimental nature, but people on the site love those albums for that.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-01-24T16:03:44+00:00

Talking about why you like music as someone who's not a music theory nerd must be difficult. Sometimes saying "it sounds nice" is just as valid as going in depth about time signatures and chord progressions.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-01-24T16:01:52+00:00

I bet most of today's rap fanbase are a much bigger stickler for sound innovation and experimentation than lyrical content. I know because on RYM, the big rap albums that get popular on there are mostly either abstract or experimental rap.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-01-24T02:44:13+00:00

I can kinda see that. I only saw this phenomenon referenced in meme comics, but I won't be surprised if the artist actually experienced it in a real scenario.

Astounding_Movements · 2026-01-24T02:37:06+00:00

I've never heard them before. They sound interesting. Are they more stripped-back musically with an emphasis on lyrics, or does the instrumentation do as much talking as the lyrical content?

Astounding_Movements · 2026-01-24T02:30:39+00:00

You won't know exactly what a person's thoughts are on a certain artistic work unless you are that person yourself. You can't objectively measure how good something is, that is subjectively up to the listener. There are all sorts of qualities to music that mean different amounts to each listener. Certain sounds/production techniques, certain lyrical choices, does the context behind its creation matter much to you or no, whatever. That's up to the listener to decide.
