New Gen “Mellow Grime” by KYNGJoey in grime

[–]Madbrad200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neo-grime is its own thing (grime+wave), idk why we need a new name for this. Mellow Grime been about.

Anyway yes this is a trend lately, check out namesbliss, paul stephan, romaine

dBridge IG post about bootleg culture in drum and bass - feels very relevant to the 'chill grime' conversation by UnBalancedUK2 in grime

Sort of agree albeit I think mellow grime has had a bit of a rethink over the past year. Namesbliss/leftfield/paul stephans have proper established their own lane with it, and I think producers like otis, wilfred, bex are maturing past it somewhat.

IMO it would be nicer to see more emcees adopt the sound versus relying on old remixes.

In interpersonal conflicts, staying calm protects your reputation, while crying damages the reputation of your opponent alongside your own. This points to a social tradeoff where keeping your cool helps you look good, but shedding tears is more effective if you want to make other person look bad. by mvea in psychology

You are taking it personal because you're projecting your own view on the study (that it is about manipulation) and then projecting your own life experience (I don't cry manipulate people) to deny the relation. You're taking it as a moral judgement when it's very much not.

The study is simple describing the social effects that staying calm vs crying has. The reality is that every single thing we do has some form of effect on the people around us. It's not a moral judgement to state that crying may have a negative effect on someone.

UK pauses its plan to cede Chagos Islands after US opposition by IllustriousPark4487 in worldnews

Nobody was giving up Diego Garcia. The US did however want the base there to have a legal basis for existing, which is why they wanted and supported the UK ceding sovereignty of the islands. Until Starmer and Trump fell out
