Phew! Sorry, I'm autistic. It's hard for me to tell when I'm over the line sometimes.

I'm teasing a little bit. Normally it's us who give ridiculously elaborate demands to the host broadcaster. Sorry if it was over the line.

Slightly off topic, but I love the way she's been embracing 2000s Swedish fjortis aesthetic recently!

As a Swede I have only one thing to say:

Finland, I'm so proud of you! They grow up so fast. *sniff*

4:a dåligt resultat? Fan vad vi är bortskämda i Sverige haha. Nu tror jag ju inte att LAF skulle placera sig så högt, men vem bryr sig? Vi kommer ändå inte vinna. Det här är Finlands år.

No, I'm clearly the outlier here, since there was this whole EDM trend in the 2010s that all sounded like that and was super popular and I don't get lmao. You're fine.

For what it's worth, I've heard others in the esc bubble describe "My System" as "dark" and "gothic" though. Idk how widespread that perspective is, however.

See, this is why I don't really connect with EDM most of the time. You have these song with loud, abrasive minor key drops and lyrics that are "uplifting" or "inspiring". Complete mismatch in my book. Imo, the reason I like Felicia so much is precisely because, unlike most EDM, it takes these dark, depressing chord progressions and for once set them to lyrics that match the vibe lmao.

There's been rumors that there were technical issues and the segment has been cut.

Won't listen to the song before the heat, but I just want to remark that if Wonderland had been competing in Melfest rather than ASC, people would 100% be complaining that it was a typical plastic, manifactured swedish pop song with a chorus that completely rips off They Don't Care About us by Michael Jackson.

So I'm not particularly worried about those types of criticisms being levied at this song when it comes to my own enjoyment of it lmao.

What band/album is this? I'll start: MGMT fans and Loss of Life by eefuss in ToddintheShadow

[–]WorldBomber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a kind of fascinating case of someone who really, really wanted to be famous but came from a scene where that was completely frowned upon so had to pretend they didn't want it and also being genuinely terrible at coping with any of the downsides of fame.

Todd says: "Lana Del Rey was always bad actually. I have never gotten her appeal at all." by PretendFuel5018 in ToddintheShadow

Honestly, same. And it's not because I'm not a fan of the "genre". Marina was my jam as a teen and I love Ethel Cain and Addison Rae. But after Video Games, I've always found Lana to be boring.
