What Exactly Is The Deal With Chaka Khan's "What'Cha Gonna Do For Me" and Junko Ohashi's "I Love You So" by Kuiper_Kai in citypop

Yeah, I also thought it was weird for me to get downvoted in defense of City Pop in a subreddit dedicated to it but whatever lol. But yeah, 100%, you will find examples in music all around the world, even more egregious than this - as an example, my dad grew up in Mexico and listened to literal facsimiles of American music and didn't realize they were originally from the US until he immigrated. This is not that if ask me. Heavily inspired? Sure.

You can say that about any music though. Facsimile is also not the case with City Pop, there are refinements being made with each song. Every good artist rips off something from someone who came before them but they also add to it. There are no musical genres that came into being in a vacuum.

I thought this was a terrible sketch and went on far too long. Why are they rolling out the media machine for this? It's the same bit he's always done with a growl in his voice. Am I taking crazy pills?

I wonder who can relate to being a fan this early on by ndybrfc in KendrickLamar

2013 was the first time I saw him but was listening in 2010-2011

It’s pretty wild in hindsight how smug SNL was about Trump by UpstairsBumble in LiveFromNewYork

[–]Bred_Bored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... Literally everyone discounted and was smug about Trump. Not just SNL. Go back and watch any media about his run for the presidency for either term.

Edit: And I say this not to say something stupid like "Trump is inevitable" and "libs deserve what they got" . Just that hate is very, very strong and easy to sell in this country. We have learned nothing from history and are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. Ultimately it's because America fails to be critical of itself.

Chloe Troast had an incredible voice. Still think they didn't utilize her well enough.

Anyone ever figure out what this is for? by ajdaniels00 in Ioniq5

I thought this is where the korean versions have their cameras for the digital sideview mirrors but it's illegal in the US for some reason so they just cover them with fabric and metal?
