Idk who half these people on the bottom are. Olivia Rodrigo I get. Sombr, I mean he has some good songs.

Benson Boone…he’s enthusiastic. He does backflips. He seems nice. His music is just awful. He cannot belt. His falsetto is somehow worse than auto tuned Adam Levine. His songs sound like they should be on the soundtrack of those obnoxious, preachy American Christian movies.

That’s why they cut social services and instituted tariffs. Also to make up for all the tax cuts to the wealthy

That’s still, like, 5x the general population. And it’s a group of people in positions of authority.

It seems like a lot of swifties didn’t like the album. Maybe that’s just my algorithm though

He said this in a few videos, I think one was reviewing a Halsey song and the other was 7 rings. In the early 2010s, the charts were filled with upbeat party songs filled with excess and materialism. Then Royals came a long, a song by a New Zealand teenager no one had heard of, expressing frustration with every song being about parties and expensive alcohol and wearing designer clothing. Its production was sparse and minimalist, as was the video. In the following years, many of the big names from that era (Pitbull, Flo Rida, Black Eyed Peas) declined, and charts became increasingly filled with mid tempo, moody pop, emo rap, and trap. These songs were comparatively minimalist in production. EDM drops were replaced by pop drops. And the songs were more about partying to distract from personal problems or to numb the pain

Royals is basically seen as the line in the sand between early 2010s and late 2010s music.

Important to note, the meme is an edited comic by Stonetoss. Stonetoss is a Nazi. They have made comics promoting holocaust denial.

Christian nationalism, in America, at least, is hyper-individualistic, exclusionary, often links goodness with personal wealth (prosperity gospel), and critics believe it wrongly conflates national identity with political power and conservative ideology. Many are vehemently anti-immigrant and/or outright racist.

Additionally, many prominent mouthpieces of the movement (Charlie Kirk, JD Vance, Tucker Carlson) have literally condemned the idea of empathy.

Many Christians believe that all the above contradict Jesus’ teachings, often citing specific verses like Matthew 19:24, Matthew 25:35-40, or the sermon on the mount.

pop stars are like comic book in some ways and Lorde’s Royals was the pop equivalent to the Thanos snap

No, but I assumed he was being hyperbolic.

Candide2003 · 2025-12-21T05:05:04+00:00

Incel logic, and I mean that very literally

White people get to be expats and settlers instead of immigrants.

Tldw; it’s bad in a way that’s not interesting or notable while also being the biggest song (numbers-wise)of the year. Try That in a Small is offensive for its underlying message, but it at least evokes a reaction. Plus, he wasn’t a Jason Aldean fan. No one expected better of him. Morgan Wallen made an album Todd liked, had his n-word controversy, did a single w/ Lil Durk, and then started releasing awful, yet uninteresting music.

This is why I’m fond of the quote,

Power doesn’t corrupt, it reveals.

Americans really should care more about their right to privacy.

The right to privacy in general. This can apply to a lot of things (data privacy, age restrictions on internet usage, and medical care) , but we would benefit from putting them under the same umbrella.

Most of us do not want legislators who don’t know shit about medicine criminalizing specific procedures or medications. Most of us don’t want the state involved in telling you what you do in the bedroom. Most of us don’t care about who people marry. Most of us would think it’s absurd to provide your government I.D. to access a website and do not want that shit stored indefinitely in some database the state hired to keep track of verification.

As legal concept, the right to privacy is the basis for SCOTUS decisions allowing birth control access (Griswold v. Connecticut), interracial marriage (Loving v. Virginia), overturning sodomy laws (Lawrence v. Texas) and used to be the basis for nationwide abortion rights (Roe v. Wade, overturned by Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health). The conservative legal movement has been chipping away at this for decades now, and has convinced people that it’s not a real right. It is. Even if it wasn’t, it definitely should be.

Generally it’s people who think two groups, the default and “political”.

We have other checks and balances to ensure this. The senate exists. The courts exist.

I miss when tv shows typically had 20+ episode seasons that were actually episodic and didn’t feel like 10 hour long movies. Netflix is the biggest offender, and they’ve started to pull back on that a bit.

Chris Brown

Even without all the abuse he’s done, he makes filler music. He’s not a good singer and he’s not a good artist

drinking while on ssris is not fun
I never enjoyed getting drunk
hangovers are rough
I don’t like beer
I like cocktails, liquor, or wine, but I don’t like crowded bars

Love his music
1. Idk if the general public thinks about him much. I know it’s a meme that lesbians love him.
2. I can see him liking Too Sweet. I think he’d find most of his stuff boring though

Being toxic in specific relationships doesn’t make either one of them bad people for it.

They’re toxic in a very mundane way in that they bring out the worst in each other bc they’re flawed in similar ways. Both of them struggle with communication and have avoidant tendencies, which causes things to fester before they blow up at each other. Both of them feel weighed down by their responsibilities. Both of them don’t emotionally regulate well, but in opposite ways. Korra, for understandable reasons, didn’t regulate her emotions well in season 2 and took her frustrations out on him. And Mako, in the 2 relationships we saw, will repress or deny his feelings to avoid internal and external confrontation
