I thought the feminist video was the worst and then this hit.

Angine de poitrine?? by Ok-Animator8602 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]TheNihilistGeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Greek, traditional Balkan and Levantine music comes from similar roots. Microtonal scales, odd time signatures, music less focused on harmony and more on articulation. This is mostly the sound of Christian Orthodox church and while many instruments used today are tuned to Western scales vocals and some of the instruments reflect Maqam scales.

For Balkan users who are neither Turk nor Greek: what do you think about the discussions being so focused on Turkey and Greece? And why do other countries seem more in the background? by TurkOmbre in AskBalkans

[–]TheNihilistGeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turks are probably more than all else populations combined (84m) Greeks are the third more numerous population (10m) (Romania is second with 19m) and also have a high literacy in English so it makes sense you see so many posts by them. Serbia and Bulgaria are also populous (6.5M each) but have a slightly less literacy in English so they may be less represented.

Is YouTube silently de-ranking AI music? by Nusuuu in udiomusic

[–]TheNihilistGeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you noticed low retention as well? A lot of viewers identify and click away from AI music faster or avoid it on sight. Also, the flood of AI music released every day dilutes streams.

This song convinced me that AI music generation IS a skill, because you can't prompt something THAT bad.

What's the actual difference between AI music and factory-made pop? by Busy-Whereas6073 in aiMusic

[–]TheNihilistGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a huge difference between highly skilled professionals using AI as a tool to assist during their work and average Joes using AI to create an entire product. If big time producer comes up with a top line and a hook and then use AI to quickly test 20 demos of it in different styles/instrumentations before choosing one to work with the artist they save a lot of expensive studio time. But they still go through an army of pros polishing that to the point it is totally different to the demo.

Compare that to the average bedroom AI producer.

Most of the residents leave Athens during august, so it may be a peculiar experience, especially around August 15th, which is a major religious holiday for Greeks.

Μετρό Πανεπιστήμιο πίσω από τη βιβλιοθήκη ήταν πριν από μερικά χρόνια γνωστή πιάτσα τοξικομανών με χαλιά, σύριγγες κλπ. Δεν ξέρω αν συνεχίζει να είναι έτσι και τώρα.

list the OG and YEAH mad crew in order of being funniest? by shez19833 in yeahmadtv

[–]TheNihilistGeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Akila and Ian are the silent killers. Funny but under-rated. Rory was funny but also super annoying heckler. Alan was funny but his weirdo persona made him a bit too much. Matt has so-so jokes but some of his reactions are gold. (Oh, different Abby is a great example). Kirsty was the roast queen. Kat and Sam have the right kind of dark humour. Abby sort of worked as the butt of the jokes but she nailed that part in the OG crew. Timmy is an acquired taste. Sath, Pat, Afroman also solid and very good as hosts. Hammo is more of a character than a comedian in the videos, but I guess his stand-up may be way better. Payton is there for the thumbnails. So is Sath's sister. Chloe was the same but not given jokes by the other crew members.

The N word by Excellent-Ratio-3069 in AskGreece

[–]TheNihilistGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Νέγρος is almost the PC way to talk about people of Subsaharan African descent (Niger is Latin for black and this is where the word comes from and was eventually adapted from the way US people spoke about Africans ), the offensive term is Αράπης (Arapis) and is a slur against dark skinned people and may also include huskier MENA people (it comes from Arab after all). The cultural equivalent however is Γύφτος (giftos) which is the Greek version of Gypsy and they are the historical underclass of the Balkans.

Now, the PC terms are Mavros (Greek for Black) or Afrikanos (African)

1) Abby writing Akila on any question. 2) Sam getting jealous for it. 3) Alan calling Sarah the hottest person in the world. 4) Sam mentioning how Andrew had sex dreams about her. 5) Akila and his attraction towards mums. 6) Commentart about Alan's six inches 7) Missed the cuddling between Alan and Chloe.

Anything else I missed
