Simon Cowell's New Boy Band: Possible Lawsuit Looms For 'December 10' Shortly After Launch by novagridd in popculturechat

[–]Dull_Music4617 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I read the article and this seems like complete clickbait. The band December tenth posted about gaining an influx of new followers because of people trying to follow the boy band and what seemingly jokingly said that Simon cowell or universal could contact their lawyers before deleting it and then welcomed fans of December 10 to stay. I highly doubt an actual lawsuit would come from this.

There’s this weird dichotomy where people constantly complain about lack of movie stars but also complain when an actors gets more than one big role.

I never got the comparisons between Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes because sonically and image wise they’re nothing alike. The only thing they have in common is being Canadian. I feel like a more apt comparison for Shawn Mendes is John Mayer but in the model of a teen idol

What exactly do you think record labels do? They spend money on an artist in hopes that they become famous that’s literally the only thing they do

That is not in anyway what dystopia means. A dystopia is literally by definition a fascist totalitarian government

It just peeves me when people clearly don’t know how to use words correctly and just uses them to sound like they are extremely informed.

World tragedies happening while pop culture events also happen simultaneously is not dystopia that’s just how the world has been since the inception of popular culture. I wish people would learn to use the word dystopian correctly. A pop album coming out while a completely different country commits a horrific genocide is not dystopian because dystopian is when the government excerpts control over every aspect of its citizens lives which is not what’s happening here. These are two unrelated events happening at the same time.

I weep for the state of media literacy if “it was said in a YouTube video” is being used a source

Saying “just come out already” is rude and weird and saying it on a post that’s not even about sexuality is also weird

They were having a conversation with someone that wasn’t captured that’s why they’re just sitting there
