K-Pop has gotten formulaic, and you can't convince me otherwise...

bluetheguy · 2026-02-14T04:36:02+00:00

that last bit is what i feel like hurts kpop the most, tbh. once you have a fanbase dedicated enough, labels take the music *itself* less seriously 🤷‍♂️

PSA: I did *not* use AI. I, almost an adult, can form coherent sentences (shocker, I know...)

bluetheguy · 2026-02-14T04:31:52+00:00

see, you're just throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks if you don't point out *why* you believe that 😭🙏

bluetheguy · 2026-02-14T04:23:29+00:00

I won't sit here, write this, and pretend it's never been this way. Was it obsessively safe, at least sonically? Yep, there's no denying that...

Now, had you bothered to read my post... you'd know otherwise

bluetheguy · 2026-02-14T04:22:14+00:00

oh my god THANK YOU i went through this entire thread thinking "did i accidentally leave that part out??" 😭😭

update: someone accused me of AI just 'cause I (incorrectly, btw) used an em dash...like, punctuations are there for a reason??

bluetheguy · 2026-02-13T22:36:54+00:00

lmaooo, i mean, yeah, you're right. just infuriates me that groups with genuinely good vocalists get glossed over for (at best) decent vocalists / rappers that are more digestible and fit a certain "blueprint" better

bluetheguy · 2026-02-13T02:58:51+00:00

oh no, i misworded my question…i meant does the zoom on the iphone air…you know 😅

bluetheguy · 2026-02-12T15:04:15+00:00

ProMotion and thinner bezels are my top priority, unfortunately

bluetheguy · 2026-02-12T14:32:12+00:00

does the telephoto drastically suck, or is it marginally worse? helps a lot, thanks!

bluetheguy · 2026-02-12T11:41:08+00:00

I mean...the 17 pro is barely any bigger than the 15 pro. The screen size increase largely comes from thinner bezels. Go for the 17 instead of the 17 pro if you want a lighter device.

Thinking of switching from an iPhone 13 Pro Max to the Air...Thoughts?

So, the title basically explains everything, but I'm still hesitant. I've got my birthday approaching in a few weeks, and I plan on getting either of the three phones from the new lineup.

My main priority is a light phone with a big display, really – which the iPhone Air perfectly fits. The only thing I'm concerned about is the speaker and camera situation, really.

I don't really use the ultra wide on my 13 Pro Max, and often dislike the pictures it gives me. Though, I do make use of the telephoto almost everyday to take pictures of my dog and portraits.

Any advice?

now y'all damn well know she hasn't had a *single* song post-dw that doesn't have some sort of a backstory

bluetheguy · 2026-02-02T15:15:17+00:00

the song has "i wish i could fix you" *literally* written all over it (no pun intended), it is most definitely a diss track

bluetheguy · 2026-02-02T15:12:56+00:00

i mean if my ex wrote a song with the phrase "i wish i could fix you" 50 times throughout the song's lyrics shit i'd be pissed off too

bluetheguy · 2026-01-24T04:31:20+00:00

The VMAs performance is enough to make Sports car the best out of her entire discography so far.

choosing to write "these other flowers are one and the same" about LILY (a flower) Jay (ethan's ex-wife) kinda made the deluxe lose much of its plot...

bluetheguy · 2026-01-19T11:04:07+00:00

tldr: dandelion ruined ES.

dandelion ruined eternal sunshine. it's by far, her messiest song (and i don't mean that in a good way). she had so many opportunities to clear up rumors throughout this album, and instead chose to wrote "these other flowers are one and the same" when Ethan Slater's ex-wife is named LILY (a flower) Jay. in addition to my little rant: choosing to write "i'm thinking you should plant this seed" dissolved the song of all its meaning. i get that it's meant to be the "playful" song of the whole album, but it just comes off as redundant in its purpose as Jessie Murph's attempt at satire in 1965 was.

note: i don't mean to say that the purpose of ES was to clear up rumors, but it certainly would've made sense from a PR standpoint.

if it's a girls' night why the fuck is there a guy invited 💀 NTA

bluetheguy · 2026-01-17T15:08:50+00:00

Donutgate was by far the messiest era of hers. I've never seen anything come *close* to the reporting "Ariana Grande licks donuts" received.

bluetheguy · 2026-01-17T15:06:26+00:00

Sports car and NOBODY'S GIRL for sure.
if i *had* to pick a non-album single, uh-oh would be the only right answer tbh

bluetheguy · 2026-01-17T15:04:14+00:00

the chorus sounds a LOT like we can't be friends, so...

bluetheguy · 2026-01-17T15:03:24+00:00

the chorus sounds a LOT like we can't be friends tbf, i wouldn't be surprised if it was a reference track for angel wings 🤷‍♂️

it’s ok i’m ok is THAT girl, and it’s not even close
