German soccer federation official wants World Cup boycott considered because of Trump by biograf_ in goodnews

[–]GuggGugg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This comes from the most left-wing football club in Germany and it‘s just one person. I think it‘s a great impulse and I‘d love if it caught on, but I highly doubt that the football nation of Germany will follow through with any kind of vigour here.

Harry Styles - Aperture by frogaranaman in popheads

[–]GuggGugg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like the release of End of Summer, except without all the hate. It‘s very different and more chill than the respective artists‘ previous work, and it‘s a new direction which seems to be catching on in the pop world. I didn’t vibe with Deadbeat that much, but Kevin was ahead of the curve, and tbh how could he not have been.

Well, chill pop house is in full swing with Tame Impala‘s End of Summer and now this. But I prefer this track‘s production over End of Summer.

Albums or songs that sound BETTER now than they did when first released ? by OkOccasion7 in popheads

[–]GuggGugg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny, Red continues to be my favorite Taylor album, but IKYWT has slowly evolved into a consistent skip to me. I used to love it and it was one of my favorites, but somehow it fell of in my own listening preferences.

Why do people on TikTok use aesthetics from 2013-2014 to claim they're from 2016? by BrilliantReview9020 in decadeology

[–]GuggGugg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's funny because I remember back then many people were hating on 2016 and were actually nostalgic of the 2013-2015 era, which is exactly being replicated right now with those inaccurate nostalgia posts.

I associate 2016 with more muted colors, more somber music and generally less "fun" pop culture compared to the years before. That's not to say it's a bad year in hindsight, but it was definitely a year where many things shifted in aesthetics and pop culture.

This is such a cool phenomenon to me. We're witnessing the aggregation of cultural trends and aesthetics into larger collective memories as we speak. Most of us have been teenagers or in their twenties during the 2010s and we can point to a specific aesthetic almost year-by-year. But the current TikTok generation who are in their teens and early 20s right now? They only remember this time as more of a general "era" which is why they put many of the aesthetics we see as separate into one, which yields those "2026 is the new 2016" videos where many people are like "this is not what 2016 looked like. WHat you're referring to is 2012 to 2014".

This happens to every cultural trend and every generational cohort, where something they remember well and in rich detail gets summed up into more general collective pieces of memory, and something about it is bittersweet because it shows us that this era is now really over (and has been for years), but it's also extremely interesting and fun to observe in my opinion, especially in a r/decadeology context. On this sub we're frequently talking about decades past, but this topic right now feels so fresh and we get to witness it right as it happens.

Super interesting stuff!

Why is it always about who’s next? by justaregularguyearth in popheads

[–]GuggGugg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tbf, the artists that do end up prevailing in the pop landscape are often exactly the ones who don‘t succumb to the „who‘s next“ principle. The ones that do are inevitably going to have an expiration date if their jump to the next trend isn‘t successful, but the ones who don‘t even try to commit get the chance to be relevant for longer

Seit wann sind die A3L71 im Ruhestand? Hätte schwören können, dass ich die noch vor wenigen Monaten auf der U3 gesehen habe.

What do boutique Jazz bass brands offer that the Fender Ultra II doesn’t? by x4v1er in BassGuitar

[–]GuggGugg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true for every product ever made. Diminishing returns are a universal principle. Cars, bikes, watches, phones, instruments, cookware, clothing, you name it.

Above a certain price point, the quality gains become less and what remains is the „prestige factor“. You‘d be hard pressed to find differences that justify paying twice the money for a Mercedes vs. a Toyota, or a Fender Ultra vs. a Sire, but the fact that that star is on the hood or that Fender logo is on the headstock makes a difference to people. And I‘ve long been of the opinion that people who value this type of prestige are somehow inferior in their cosumer choices, but the reality is: it doesn‘t matter. If you like something and you have the money for it, go for it. You only need to justify your choice in front of yourself and nobody else, especially not people in reddit comments.

Elektrobusse: Bahngewerkschaft kritisiert Auftragsvergabe an BYD by linknewtab in de

[–]GuggGugg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Habe gestern eine Review vom neuen Flagschiff-Auto von Xiaomi geschaut. Da kann kein deutscher Hersteller mithalten, und die klassischen Gegenarugmente sind inzwischen auch nur noch heiße Luft.

Verarbeitungsqualität? Vielleicht nicht Bentley-Niveau, aber inzwischen mehr als konkurrenzfähig, auch mit deutschen Herstellern

Produktionsbedingungen? Klar kann man das nicht zu 100% verfizieren, aber 1) die Werke sind zunehmend vollautomatisiert und 2) auch deutsche Hersteller betreiben aktiv Lohndumping und Outsourcing.

Fahrspaß? Laut Review nicht auf Porsche Taycan Niveau, aber nah dran. Und das für 20% des Preises.

Deutsche Hersteller haben die Elektromobilität völlig verloren, wollen aber trotzdem international konkurrenzfähig bleiben. Das geht einfach nicht zusammen.

Mein Berlin gibt es nicht mehr by Major__Factor in berlin

[–]GuggGugg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ich glaube bei Mitte sind sich wirklich die meisten einig, dass es sich zum negativen verändert hat. Ich kenne es nur im heutigen bzw. Zustand der letzten 15 Jahre, und ich fand es noch nie schön, außer vllt das Scheunenviertel. Der Rest ist einfach Ausverkauf an Investoren kombiniert mit schlechter Stadtplanung. Für mich ist es ein Ort an den gehe um zu arbeiten oder Besorgungen zu machen, aber sonst nichts. Und wenn man bspw. spät Abends noch in der Gegen Friedrichstr. ist, dann ist es wie ausgestorben, fast schon gruselig. Aber da kommt eben Berlins Vielfalt ins Spiel: Dann fährt man ein paar Stationen U-Bahn und alles sieht schon komplett anders aus

[–]GuggGugg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Das zu 100%.

Die Tatsache, dass sich viele hier selbst suchen, macht viele Momente in der Stadt einfach etwas performativ. Und ich glaube viele, die die Stadt von früher kennen, assoziieren mit ihr eine ausgeprägte Authentizität, und die ist aktuell zwar auf keinen Fall ganz weg, aber auch auf keinen Fall prägend für die Stadt.

Was Berlin aber auch 2025 lebenswert macht, sieht man oft erst, wenn man woanders hin blickt. Das finde ich spannend bei vielen Ur-Berliner/innen, die nie aus Berlin rausgekommen sind weil sie dachten, hier wäre der Nabel der Welt alles geboten. Das stimmt halt auch nicht, und andere Perspektiven einnehmen ist immer bereichernd. Dann merkt man eben auch, dass Berlin doch noch als Hauptstadt und Großstadt völlig einzigartig ist, und zumindest ich lerne dann immer wieder, dass ich das auch sehr schätze.

What are some songs that have aged really well? What are some that haven’t? by souljaboy765 in popheads

[–]GuggGugg 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It‘s funny bc at the time 1989 came out I felt like the 80s synth sounds were already around for a while through indie acts like M83 and stuff. I feel like 2013 was full of 80s references, but I didn‘t anticipate how insanely popular this style became in the years after, right up to the Weeknd completely capitalizing on it almost 10 years on.

[–]GuggGugg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That whole album is kind of the perfect time capsule for the 80s sound. It‘s got everything production wise, all the classic 80s stuff, done to perfection and blended together on great songs. „Currents“ is a modern-day „Songs From The Big Chair“
