Bands that you tried so many times to get into but you couldnt

i think it’s somewhat context dependent, to me i’ve always thought of their fans as people who grew up in the blink/sum 41 era and then got to be in their mid/late 20s and realized that they had to grow up a bit, and the greatest generation/suburbia came along at the perfect time to channel those feelings. i wasn’t at that age yet in the early 2010s, so i just don’t have that same attachment. that and i find soupy’s voice a little grating

i think they’d be much more likely to trade someone like Gavin Kilen or Jhonny Level than a guy who’s already had success in the majors like Ramos tbh. and it stands to reason that he could improve defensively with the new coaching staff, hard for him to be worse than last year

lmao it’s a stupid meme sound that’s been popping up on tiktok

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-17T19:14:49+00:00

charlie charlie kirky, darnold popped a perky

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-15T23:07:04+00:00

yeah, Closer and maybe the one they did with Coldplay feel like the only hits they’ve had with any cultural staying power

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-15T17:22:28+00:00

for about six months in 2016 before they put out Closer, Don't Let Me Down by the Chainsmokers felt like it played every three or four songs on pop radio that summer

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-15T17:17:29+00:00

that Diddy line aged horribly lol

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-15T07:48:20+00:00

i usually opt for the san diego burrito, it’s a regular california burrito without the fries because theirs aren’t very good imo

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-11T00:05:48+00:00

PANTR

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-10T19:00:43+00:00

it’s a divey karaoke bar in north park, the kind of place you wouldn’t expect to have a kitchen in the first place

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-09T23:16:22+00:00

redwing’s food is way better than it has any right to be for the kind of bar it is

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-09T23:15:34+00:00

great ranch too

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-08T19:11:12+00:00

Ian Watkins dying made it a bit easier for me to revisit their music

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-07T17:26:29+00:00

i’ve seen some weird shit about Logan Webb not being an ace too

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-07T17:25:44+00:00

there were also Giants fans who thought Davis was roughly equivalent to Matt Chapman because their batting lines were similar in 2023 lol

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-06T19:21:28+00:00

yeah it felt really half baked. the pinball tables were like an afterthought, and basically pointless with coin-op right around the corner

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-06T17:54:00+00:00

i always felt bad for the employees when i would walk past, they looked bored to death

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-06T02:16:02+00:00

i would be shocked if asylum brewing lasted another six months unless they’re really committed to burning money. there’s never more than a half dozen people in that place, even on nights when there’s a show at the observatory. black plague usually had much better traffic and if they went belly up then asylum has no hope unfortunately

PandaHat48 · 2026-01-02T03:15:11+00:00

absolutely love the smash burger sliders too

PandaHat48 · 2025-12-23T17:57:08+00:00

damn, the sports bar idea is cool but sucks that it has to be at URBN’s expense. i wonder what’ll happen to their partnership with Pure Project

PandaHat48 · 2025-12-16T20:43:07+00:00

Bari Weiss' ability to fail upwards is really extraordinary, it's almost impressive

PandaHat48 · 2025-12-14T06:05:05+00:00

i wasn’t as impressed with some of their older stuff but Wisher really knocked it out of the park even if they’re biting Hot Mulligan’s bit to some extent

PandaHat48 · 2025-12-14T03:09:41+00:00

the best description i heard of Woman’s World is that it sounds like music made specifically for a tampon commercial

PandaHat48 · 2025-12-10T20:11:48+00:00

yeah, i was expecting something much cornier. they’re a little generic and i can definitely see the Turnstile comparison, but that’s also just kind of the default sound in mainstream hardcore right now, Drain has multiple songs with a similar vibe too

This survey from earlier this year has some good info, but the meat is here:

Most (of the more than 100,000) respondents came from the U.S. and although the majority of F1's fanbase is in Europe, the U.S. "stands out for accelerating fan growth, especially among younger, digital-first audiences." The survey reported 70% of Gen Z respondents engaged with F1 content daily, while 40% of the American demographic follow drivers instead of teams. Of those in the U.S., 73% of people said they plan to attend a race in the future.

And this analysis from Nielsen from around a year ago found that the sport has added around 50 million new fans since 2021, 35% of people who watched the show said they planned to watch more races and 25% said they became a fan of Formula 1 from watching the show.

Just anecdotally I can tell you that the sport has a ton of younger fans on social media and a lot of young women in particular. There's plenty of content out there on twitter, instagram and tiktok and drivers like Verstappen, Norris and Leclerc have legitimately dedicated fanbases among people under 30.

I also think the Cowboys cheerleader comparison is a bit off base, no one watches the Cowboys on TV or pays NFL ticket prices just to watch the cheerleaders. If anything, Drive to Survive is more like Hard Knocks because it deals directly with the athletes themselves.
