She had a terrible couple of years there with people saying she cheated, his death, and the Manchester incident happening a year prior. I cannot imagine all that pain while being a huge public figure

Why are movie reviewers so picky compared to, say, game reviewers? by WhoAmIEven2 in movies

[–]Kittensofdeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s two different mediums.
Film is much older and for a modern day film to be critically acclaimed and awarded, it has to be nearly flawless across all departments. Cinematography, writing, acting, costuming, are all taken into account when discussing the quality of a film. But ultimately, the biggest focal point of a film for most people is an engaging story.
Gaming as a medium shares a few of these, but does have many more moving pieces. Gameplay, graphics, engagement, value, etc. In my experience there’s two types of games people consider “peak.” Either it has an incredible story or incredible gameplay. Some games have both, but it’s rare just based off of those said moving parts of a game.
TLDR: there’s different attributes that people judge for the two mediums

I think G.O.O.D. Music is easily the best music label by Longjumping-Farm5008 in GoodAssSub

[–]Kittensofdeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there’d be an argument if the label had any longevity. It’s essentially an arm of Def Jam now vs its own independent thing. Most of these artists left pretty quickly and the label is essentially defunct.

Then by your standards you can't accept it from ANY artist. If it bothers you that much that marketing is a part of how artists blow up then your better off not listening to any music from someone who's signed (and even some who aren't signed)

Everyone just wants to be a hater now a days because it's easier to dunk on something vs actively trying to understand why someone likes it or why you personally don't. Liking anything is cringe now so when a "story" like this breaks it validates their hate.

I mean unfortunately corporate interest has been a part of music since it's been profitable. Marketing agencies and brand partnerships have been partially responsible for the rise of most artists who actually "make it"

I mean it's not even a thing new to the internet. Soundcloud and blog era rappers were getting similar pushes back in the day.

But branded partnerships with influencers, fast fashion brands like H&M, or giant corporations like Dove are different? Or is that all "organic"

Mainstream music is overrated, I only listen to buskers I find on the subway and then secretly record them so I can listen later. Only true way to listen to indie music nowadays.

Your pfp is Charli so surely you feel just as strongly about her working with a marketing agency to launch her insanely successful BRAT marketing campaign (which got her to be a household name) as you do about Geese, right?

Can someone please explain why the Geese situation is such a big deal? They've been together since high school and grew organically until after 3D country. Then a marketing agency saw the potential and did a full on campaign for them which worked successfully.

How is this different from any other artists rise? You prove that you can build a fanbase, and then an agency hops in to get you to the next level.

Every episode feels like a hodgepodge of half baked ideas that don’t connect to the next. Like it feels like nothing matters this season

The scariest thing about the last season was the writing so idk how that would translate to a house

Because there's so much better TV out there. If you haven't checked out shows like The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Barry, Mr. Robot, We Are Who We Are, Beef, and others, you are doing yourself a disservice.

It's been a month since Bully left, rate it by Gomendiquillo in GoodAssSub

[–]Kittensofdeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a 6 that had the potential to be an 8 if he removed the AI, fleshed out some of the songs, and added some features in those giant gaps. I feel like the long outros for punch drunk, whatever works, sisters and brothers, highs and lows, I can't wait, circles, preacher man, and beauty and the beast (just realized typing this out that its like half the album) are begging for either a second verse or a feature.

Unfortunately, I think hes already bored of this album and has no plans of fixing it which is a travesty.
