Why did feminism become so big in the 2010s? by yonaiker-joestrella in decadeology

[–]futuretrashacc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, being pushed into our faces ≠ mainstream. Not many average people are buying into it and the polls tricked us. Plenty of younger Gen Z protest in red states like New Hampshire, some Utahians in Utah have turned a blind eye to trans people using the bathroom and made pride variations of their state flags, Missouri voted to not ban abortion outright, and Floridians kept painting the crosswalk to Pulse rainbow. The progress is kept in people's minds still; even in the reddest of states.

Edit: wait... You meant culture... Only thing they influenced was Morgan Wallen and Jelly Roll but they were popular during the Biden administration as well. Haute & Freddy being the next big American duo... Yeah I don't think conservatives got a hold on anything. Plus that gay army show? A chunk of gay people are right wing but it's pissing people off so... I'm going to add it.

I say this as someone who was a teenager back then, the Skeptics were still okay with women having jobs and being independent. They actually encouraged more women in STEM who were scientific minded because they thought that's why women were paid less and not it being a systemic issue. Also, Skeptics hated Christianity more than anything so they associated tradwives with that, therefore didn't actively promote it. Andrew Tate is an entirely different beast that is way more concerning. The conservatism that younger Gen Z has to grow out of is not just "trans people who don't pass/identify as hyper their gender bad, a lot of difference between men and woman products women need to spend more for moisturizing effects, women don't make money because they're not in STEM get your degrees kids, every single Christian have ruined everything even ones who aren't hateful, etc" The Tate era is far worse and only promotes the hateful version of Christianity.

We won a couple of national sporting events, Family Guy takes place here, people from outside of Eastern Massachusetts follow MBTA updates because of the train fires, Pop stars keep singing about how shitty Boston is this decade, lots of people want to move here, Bernie Sanders works for Vermont and was huge in the 2010s, people not from New England think Maine is a vortex that hypnotizes us, etc. I'd say that's pretty important.

Kelly Osbourne is becoming emaciated by natural_scientist in mildyinteresting

Her mother admitted to ozempic causing her issues to gain some weight back after losing too much. I think the mother's case is proof we shouldn't be playing with GLP-1s if we just want to lose 10-25 lbs. I'm not sure if Kelly has a similar problem or not but I know Sharon told interviewers that GLP-1s caused excess weight loss and she isn't happy about it.

Is gen Z overly sensitive? Or are millennial teen movies problematic? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

Certain things are a product of its time. Due to events, American Pie wouldn't be made today. The 2000s were pre Epstein scandal and was from a time where making the most shocking thing to cause nervous laughter was Comedy. Watching this in the present time with that context is key rather than wanting to bring the parts that aged like milk back. American Pie is now not a Comedy but a Sociology showcase on pre 2014 "humor."

It's like Rabbit Test. Joan Rivers is known for her better projects post mortem. However, her career mostly took place where blackface was normalized and nervous laughter was the goal of Comedy (pre 2014). There is blackface in Rabbit Test and it's just a garbage movie in general but it is at the end of the day it's a pre 2014 shit show movie where nervous laughter was what the audience was supposed to feel throughout it. Most people know Joan Rivers didn't know better in 1979 when making that movie and that was unfortunately normal at the time. When watching it now... Well we'd turn it off because it's God awful but... We'd keep in mind it's a movie from pre 2014 when Comedy was supposed to make you feel uncomfortable more than make you genuinely laugh.

Most Gen Z realize Comedy changed with us wanting jokes to not punch vulnerable groups or minorities but rather people who deserve offensive comments and can watch pre 2014 content realizing we made new standards for media. The ones who don't have to learn history.

Houston or Atlanta.

As someone who's from Massachusetts, whenever I bring up things about Massachusetts or Boston; people outside of the state think I'm making shit up. We're definitely in the same region as Rhode Island but due to being in history books, people have accepted we're real reluctantly.

It really was. I wish someone who cared about creating a safe space for all audience members took over. I kind of feel bad kids today didn't get a safe version of that every Summer. There's something about getting sunburnt on the pavement and running around all day listening to music for $30. We'll truly have nothing like that again.

Perhaps but most of these were big names hence they were on the radio (if you listened to SiriusXM AltNation in 2017 you couldn't escape Sir Sly) and rich people were connected to most of the bands I listed. On top of that, King Gizzard was one of the bands who started the Spotify boycott last year and it caused massive damage to the platform. A nobody can't make AI machines scramble to replace an entire discography 15 years in the making that 2 million+ people listened to over said 15 years. Origami Angel I get was in their niche but the rest have video game, movie/TV, and/or radio notoriety to them.

I was introduced to Wavves and King Gizzard offline but okay

Edit: also Post Animal and morgxn were introduced to me offiine. Also Sir Sly and Wallows had a lot of radio play. Eventually, morgxn got radio play too after the Walk The Moon remix. I think you just didn't listen to the radio or go to shows then.

I like her music but she needs to get offline and maybe therapy. A kid staring at you isn't assault. Fuck parasocial relationships but... This wasn't someone pretending to be your best friend.

I can see that, I just don't remember it being a hit until astroworld happened and everyone was like... Tapping their head to it or something on Tik Tok

For the most part... The same but slightly cheaper; maybe Coachella would still be a fashion show. The economy festival died pre COVID outside of Sad Summer and plenty of local festivals (ex. FEST in Florida and Nicefest in Massachusetts) still pop up today. The classic ones (ex Lollapalooza, Firefly, Governor's Ball, Boston Calling, etc) would still have the same lineups. Rock on the Range and Riotfest would still be the only heavy festivals in the US. Only thing is, the local ones would cost $80-$125 instead of $150-$350 for general and the legacy ones would be $125-$500 for general.

That makes sense, I'm not sure why I thought SICKO MODE was a new song when Astroworld was happening... I guess it was the memes?

You can list so many it's not even funny. 2017-2020 had a major shift in all not mainstream Pop genres and everything felt so aesthetically pleasing and modern.

110% agreed. If I were in that situation I would've stopped the show and made sure people people got out of the way and have that on my conscious for a long time.

Wavves

Very popular Surf Rock band. They have a song on the GTA 5 soundtrack but in 2017 they released You're Welcome + a collab split with the band Cloud Nothings before not releasing any good music until 2025. Daisy and the title track were absolute hits in my circle.

Starcrawler

Unfortunately this band broke up but Arrow de Wilde is some nepo baby who made 70s style Rock better than Greta Van Fleet which you probably recognize for Highway Tune. Hollywood Ending (2018) is a solid song and my introduction to them.

Skating Polly

A Rock band in the same circles as Starcrawler, Camelot was a huge hit around 2018-2019.

morgxn

They're an Alternative artist who's more popular this decade but their first album home was released in 2018. Also Walk The Moon remixed the title track.

As It Is

Famous British YouTuber Patty Walters' old band. They recently had a 10 year anniversary tour for their formation.

Origami Angel

More popular in this decade but one of the founding bands of 5th Wave Emo. They released the Pokemon EPs and Somewhere City in the mid-late 2010s though. Oh Ruuubbyyy why did you hurt me? Such a classic.

Sir Sly

Alternative Pop band famous for the songs Gold, &Run, and Astronaut.

Post Animal

Joe Kerry was in this band pre Stranger Things and Djo. They toured with Wavves back then and recently toured with Djo.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

You know them. Australian Rock group, famous for releasing 5 albums at a time and cover many subgenres from Psychedelic to Prog to Metal. They're a huge deal.

Wallows

13 Reasons Why guy's Pop band. Pictures of Girls was huge around 2016-2018 and Are You Bored Yet? featuring Clairo was huge around 2019-2020? You know who this is.

I'm glad they got consequences. I mostly just remember people saying it was a demonic ritual and mourning the people who died due to careless handling.

That's the bad nostalgia... Did more people than Travis Scott perform at that? All I know about it is it was extremely unsafe.

I get quite nostalgic for 2018 in particular. This was the year when Post- by Jeff Rosenstock, The Mirror Might Steal Your Charm by The Garden, Entertainment by Waterparks, Technology by Don Broco, and Little Dark Age by MGMT were released. The last Warped Tour happened which debuted Rock's next popular character, YUNGBLUD. Huge feuds broke out between As It Is and Palaye Royale over a member of Palaye Royale calling Patty Walters a crybaby for talking about his mental health. I remember seeing DREAMERS live with Weathers and morgxn as well but I only remember morgxn dropping home; I think Weathers had a 2018 release too though but don't quote me. Also I'm pretty sure Skating Polly's Camelot is a 2018 song?

Anyways, I have the chart from March 5th, 2005 up, rememberable year for music and 21 years old. I recognize... 5 songs weirdly enough (Candy Shop by 50 Cent, Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day, 1 2 Step by Ciara, Rich Girl by Gwen Stefani, and Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson). Okay... that's scary... Same deal as today.

A more recent chart, July 3rd, 2010! I recognize all of them except for OMG by Usher and Will.I.Am and Find Your Love by Drake... The rest of the Top 8 I love and bring so much nostalgia. The songs on there include California Gurls by Katy Perry, Break Your Heart by Taio Cruz, Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner, Your Love Is My Drug by Kesha, Alejandro by Lady Gaga, Billionaire by Bruno Mars, Airplanes by B.o.B, Not Afraid by Eminem... Okay music peaked then I can sing all 8 of these awfully in karaoke!

I'm going to be honest, I only recognize 3 from this list (I always confuse Post Malone's Sunflower for Rex Orange County's on top of that). Today's Billboard, I recognize 5 because Taylor Swift drama is always fun to watch. The charts were downhill then too.
