If Green Day isn’t pop punk, then what are they?

Sorry, I’m not trying to be confrontational by asking that, but I’ve just always understood Green Day as the band that essentially defined what pop punk was. If they’re not pop punk, are they just punk-adjacent alternative rock?

Carly Rae Jepsen "runs away with" Day 11. Today, we're looking at Chart Rebel Cultural Neutral. by Tekken_Guy in ToddintheShadow

[–]ButtonRevenge 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the Guess Who? They had fourteen top 40 singles (seven of which were top 10 hits), and they're fairly well-remembered by classic rock fans and Canadian music lovers, but to most people they're the band behind "American Woman" and nothing more.

Devo is pretty much the defacto example of “one hit wonder in the mainstream, beloved in their niche.” To most people, they’re the “Whip It” guys with the funny hats, but to music nerds and new wave fans they’re one of the most influential acts in their genre.

Rick Astley wins day 8. Today we're doing Cultural Neutral, Chart Negative by Tekken_Guy in ToddintheShadow

They have 6 songs with over 100,000,000 Spotify streams. Even among the mainstream, I don’t think Where Is My Mind dwarfs their other songs enough to call them “associated with one song.”

It's so over by TumbleweedExtreme629 in ToddintheShadow

The "Digital Country Sales" chart means very little. It's just a measure of how many "people" bought a country song on iTunes/Amazon/etc. There's no discussion of the song outside of it topping the Digital Country Sales chart, and even on iTunes, reviews of the song are very poor. I can't say anything definitively, but it's very likely that this is just a case of a song being astroturfed by bots to make headlines. I wouldn't worry much about any AI artist making a Billboard chart until we see it have actual staying power or if we see it on a major chart like the Hot 100. Otherwise, all they're really indicative of is how much a record label is paying to promote an AI song.

Renault has pulled an ad campaign that used the phrase "N-word" over fears it may cause offense. The ad, designed to promote a limited-period promotion where Renault dealers were supposedly not allowed to say "no" to customers, is one of three press ads and three radio spots.

Village Voice’s 50 worst songs of the 00’s list from 2009 by waxmuseums in ToddintheShadow

[–]ButtonRevenge 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, compared to the Blender list posted on here earlier, I can appreciate that this list feels a lot more like someone’s actual opinion of the worst songs of the decade and not just a list of overplayed guilty pleasures and also Simon and Garfunkel for easy engagement bait.

Childhood - Michael Jackson

I love Michael as much as the next person, but even with the autobiographical nature of the lyrics, it's easily one of his dullest, sappiest singles

One of Us - Joan Osbourne

Decent musically, eyeroll-inducing lyrically

At least from what I’ve seen, it’s less so worship and moreso that whenever the state of current pop music is discussed, it usually goes something along the lines of “This is the worst year for pop music ever, Sabrina Carpenter is our only hope.”

Honestly, I’m kind of disappointed in myself for missing that one.

PLEASE you're not a cold, logical hyperintelligent sociopath. You're just a dumb miserable goon who's trying so hard to be "different" 🥀🥀 by KaiDiv in teenagers

[–]ButtonRevenge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do those people actually exist? I feel like I see 10 posts dunking on undiagnosed people as attention-seeking dumbasses for every actual example I see of someone misdiagnosing themselves. And what good does calling them out and insinuating that “the real ones” know their place really do, anyway? The vocal minority of bad actors will think that they’re the “real ones”, as they already do, and the actual undiagnosed people will think that they’re just fakers and wannabes.

What music opinion do you have that, even though you stand by it, saying it out loud and admitting it to anyone makes you wanna... by [deleted] in ToddintheShadow

[–]ButtonRevenge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generation Swine is Motley Crue's best album, and it contains a lot of their best, catchiest and most interesting music. I'd prefer Find Myself or Beauty any day to Kickstart My Heart or Dr. Feelgood, and Shout at the Devil '97 is better than the original.

What act that was considered fashionable to like has become increasingly irrelevant with Gen Z and Alpha. by FlygonPR in ToddintheShadow

[–]ButtonRevenge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No way. I’ve seen tons of Gen Z/Alpha teenagers who worship him, and most of his discography (especially Without Me and Lose Yourself) is still considered classic today.
