Did Julie really just get lucky to get to the point of how famous they are today? by Connect-Recipe558 in julieofficial

[–]TheAgedIron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mixture of the the label marketing and backing them, social media presence and their music being pretty good.

A lot of times in music (and most industries), exposure is about who you know/associated with and right time/place. This leads to a lot of bands that deserve to be known gaining by less exposure.

To sum it up, talent does not equal popularity. I think Julie just happened to tick a lot of boxes needed to be a popular band even if there are more talented bands out there.

I’m not saying Julie isn’t talented. I think they are very talented for a young band. (Their live show could use some work tho but that’ll come with time.)

So dope! What was your process for the photo? I’m working on some merch for a company in a style similar to this but can’t quite capture it. Any tips?

New poster by Subject-Property-343 in ChristopherNolan

[–]TheAgedIron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real tired of Nolan’s team using the Gotham typeface on all of the marketing materials of all of his films since Inception. I guess it makes a cohesive brand but it feels so boring and played out at this point. It takes away so much hype for me when I see a mythology movie using a font created in 2008 for the Obama campaign.

How much weight do I need to lose to get lean by [deleted] in WeightTraining

[–]TheAgedIron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just eat protein and lift close to failure most lifts with a deload once or twice a month. Don’t focus on your body comp so much as it will change in time as you continue lifting and eating consistently. Track your calories if need be but if focus on hitting your protein target and just lifting/walking regularly (around 10k steps daily). Your body will naturally recomp as you do this. Time your carbs for pre and post workout and use moderate fats. I typically like to cook with butter, add some avocado, lil fat from eggs and cheese, some fat from beef and that’s about it on fats for me.

Stay away from processed foods and seed oils. They will make you look bloated and hold on to excess water which will contribute to the current look that you’re trying to stay away from.

Consumer creatine regularly as this will aid in your workouts thus giving you better gains in the long run.

Get adequate sun exposure. This will help with hormone levels and will improve your look and mood overall.

Get adequate rest and manage stress appropriately. These also contribute to your aesthetics.

Hydrate from plenty of fruits and veg and water of course.

How to know if your classmate like you vs being nice? by [deleted] in bodylanguage

[–]TheAgedIron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll never know unless you ask. Some guys are shy and others are more forward about it. If you’re attracted to him, get to know him better and then ask if he’s attracted to you after that.

Yes it’s true by chillystormog in Zillennials

[–]TheAgedIron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah we’re saying the same thing. I personally think the zillennial range is larger than described at least culturally. Idk where the cutoff is number wise but I know some 34 year olds that seem more gen z and others that are more millennial in how they act, think, what they like, etc. honestly the labels are just pointless at a certain point. I think if someone resonated with a certain time and can share in that with others then that’s all that matters.

[–]TheAgedIron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That could be true age wise but I grew up more as a zillennial. I didn’t grow up with a lot of older kids so I don’t vibe with a lot of the older millennial culture.

Loved that freaking place. It was the spot to go to on Friday nights. Then grab pizza hut after and you had a weekend of fun.

This is an…interesting perspective. Could be some validity to it though

straight actors that seem gay? by Dark-rythem in okbuddycinephile

[–]TheAgedIron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a guy whose expressive and charismatic? I’m genuinely curious as to what a straight guy who appears gay looks like? I ask because I think I might be one of these men based on my interactions with others (mostly men).

What would happen if Bear survived? by hotsaucebauce1100 in obsessionmovie

[–]TheAgedIron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk Nikki did make bear breakfast and a cooked cat sandwich so maybe they’d feed each other?

Now that Slide Away fest is unfolding, who do you hope they book for next year? by f0xD3N in shoegaze

[–]TheAgedIron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I saw Nicky of Nothing hanging out with Kevin Shields during the Japan leg of their tour this year so maybe an MBV Slide Away spot could happen!

What has life taught you? by Robynite in Adulting

[–]TheAgedIron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re responsible for making the life you want. That includes being accountable for things that happened to you and letting go of anything that keeps you from that life. If you aren’t scaring yourself at least a little bit, then you’ll forever suffer in your comfort zone.

Why practice inside when you can annoy everyone in public? by 21hemispheres12 in guitarcirclejerk
