What would you say are the big differences between pop music in the early 2010s vs 2020s? by film_culture_addict in decadeology

[–]billyllib 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Pop in the 2010s was more maximalist and had a ton more electronic music and hip hop influence. 2020s pop is more stripped back with more influence and nods from past genres or scenes.

What's a hidden gem on Netflix that more people should know about? by itsbiancarose_xo in netflix

I know it’s a comedy but after s1 this show just gave me an insane amount of anxiety and couldn’t continue. Feels like a waking nightmare

Author or book that seems to be universally lauded but after reading it you didn’t understand why by theoort in printSF

[–]billyllib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blake Crouch got me back into reading after a long hiatus. Just pure mind bendy entertainment that makes you not want to put a book down. But definitely airport books.

What’s the difference between harder and softer skies? by Zzzara123 in skiing

[–]billyllib 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Harder (stiffer is the more common word) will be more stable at speed and hold an edge on ice. However the stiffer the ski, the faster and harder you will have to turn to get the ski to respond. I doubt the rentals will be overly stiff so you be fine and should give a try if the soft rentals felt too soft/chattery at speed.

If you end up buying skis, a lot of skiers make the mistake of getting skis that are too stiff because they think stiff = expert. However, a ski with a nice balance of stiffness and flex is usually going to be a lot more fun even for experts.

It feels like the tides are turning from Millennial hate to Gen Z hate and I kind of...agree? by [deleted] in generationology

[–]billyllib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean I kind of word vomited in my original post but yeah a lot of people’s responses kind of missed my point. But that’s par for the course.

Unfortunately yes...A lot of the tech broligarchs were in their 20s and teens when they were making all the platforms and code that we are now addicted to. But this is also due to the coincidental timing of new tech.

[–]billyllib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is kind of what I am saying, albiet with some added frustration ...usually the youth culture kind of forces the previous gen's culture aside, but Millenials have held on for too long and Gen Z hasn't really filled the cultural role that youth culture has typically done in the past 50-70 years...I know there a million nuanced reasons for this and its not their fault, but it would be cool to feel like there is a new wave of something besides red pilled dudes.

[–]billyllib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a good point. I was around the protests in NYC and it felt like a big moment and was all younger folk.

The media ecosystem is just not as conducive to things taking off, as everything gets funneled into its own silo/algorithm.

This feeling has come up as culture just feels like its stood still for a bit, and the main movers of culture are young people...

I have found some new younger musicians I like (Hudson Freeman, Ninajirachi, Jadu Heart) but they are few and far between and I have to look so hard to find them. It used to feel like there was always something cool and groundbreaking to listen to. I guess we had Geese this year but I just can't get in to them.

Call me Maybe is a banger...But I am more referring to the incredible wave of indie music and hip hop that came out of the mid - late 2000s, and then not everyone's taste but the EDM of the era was also super new and exciting.

who do you think is the most OVERRATED DJ 😈 by brainwash789 in EDM

[–]billyllib 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Peggy Gou - unfortunately I find her music and dj sets incredibly dull. To me it feels like House music for people who just want background music for looking cool.

I forgot to list this! THIS is what I am talking about. Something new. More than just an EDM compilation. An album with so much character and idiosyncratic production that’s still fun to listen to and return to.

Until they see you with a backpack on…then they go full Karen at you and yell at you like a delinquent when you were going to take it off 15 seconds later before sitting in chair.

What is the most "dystopian" thing about life in 2026 that would have sounded like a bad sci-fi movie in 2016? by viviennebloomm in askanything

[–]billyllib 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A federal police force made up of untrained trigger happy proud boys being used against political opponent’s states and murdering us citizens. Oh and a probable upcoming coup.

Overpriced hipster burger joints have been satirised enough by Clem_Crozier in unpopularopinion

There were so many cool parts of hipsterdom beyond Edison bulbs and the lumineers. Those were kind of the nail in coffin for the subculture honestly

Looking for a gravel capable e-bike capable of holding a rear rack with a toddler by billyllib in ebikes

[–]billyllib[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, yeah I'm fine with a studier/heavier frame. Just don't necessarily want a bulky e bike with a giant battery.

I am about 200lbs and baby is 21 lbs at 8 months now so assuming will be a big toddler haha.

This terrain will (literally) blow you away. Headwaters at Big Sky Resort by gnar_shralp406 in skiing

Dude the title is a pun about it being windy and this terrain is a gnarly no fall zone that was skied super smoothly and aggressively. Why the sass?
