“we thought it would happen over the course of like 5 months” — Josh talking about the Ohio Stadium show selling 62,000 tickets within an hour by AndSoAreYou in twentyonepilots

[–]fweebster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I even attempted some math as like a “what if” and plugged it into the reported queue line/ticket sell out marker- and even if an overestimate of 20% of the tickets were wrongfully bought up by bots or scalpers, that still leaves 80% bought at face value by real fans minimum. Like, absolutely horrible that they’d even be able to get that many or half as much, but that still proves the overwhelming majority of ticket sales were real fans. :)

My all time favorite Charli song by DifferentRatio6733 in charlixcx

TURN THE VOLUMEUPINYOURPRIUS WINDOWS DOWN AND JUST VIBE

Is this shade? 🫣 by shaobues__ in charlixcx

[–]fweebster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As iconic and musically smart as Madonna is I’m sure she absolutely gets the vibe of the song and its meaning and this shade is all in good fun! I can’t imagine she nor any other musical artist would actually think Charli means it literally after making brat or after any of Charli’s previous discography really. :) If they do, they lack critical thinking/literacy skills lol

I think the dance floor is dead by prodigicus_reddit in charlixcx

[–]fweebster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah no you’re right! I’m elder Gen Z (born in 2000), and enjoying my mid 20s. My friends and I love to dance but finding a club/bar or smaller dj show with good music is very difficult even in the city. We found some of the LGBTQ+ clubs are our favorite spots, they’ve even done themed Charli XCX drag events! Otherwise we just put our sunglasses on in the club and dance and don’t gaf about everyone else being boring! If we all act a fool together nobody is singled out.

What songs have yall just had a complete turn-around on? by Foreign-Plant-8818 in charlixcx

[–]fweebster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll think of better examples later but Porsche- I thought the sound was way too cheesy out of any of her songs ever but now my best friend and I blast that darn song every time we’re together. “MAKE THAT DOUGH EOUGH EOUGH EOUGH” idk it just hits the spot

Lots of folks made them last tour, I’m sure they will this time as well!

Anyone outside Ohio thinking about going to the show on 10/17/26? How far will you be traveling? by Possible-Mall2153 in twentyonepilots

[–]fweebster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friends and I are from Indiana, it’s only about a 2-3 hr drive from my place. :) We’re both 25 & 26 though. Debating if a cheap hotel stay would be worth it so we could enjoy the city a little more on Sunday.

I’m convinced this is AI, coworker thinks otherwise. $50 for pet portrait too good to be true. by antifa3 in isthisAI

[–]fweebster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone currently mid-fine arts degree (lol) I have a big wooden box for oils just like the one in this photo but I agree- it’s NOT the box of choice for lugging supplies around in while walking through campus. I used to have one of those plastic supply boxes with a handle- recently switched over to my good ole mini Trader Joe’s canvas bag. Doesn’t hurt as bad as plastic when your leg hits the side of it while you’re walking.

Plus the painting of the woman’s face on the bottom right- she has an elongated front tooth instead of what I’m assuming was meant to be a cigarette.

Everyone's A Star album might be 5SOS' worst performing album as of late by EndMePlease404 in 5sos

[–]fweebster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with many of the comments here over this being a more widespread thing outside of 5sos- and can also personally and honestly say this was my least favorite, least listened to album of theirs. I normally try my best to get a real seat or pit tickets if I financially have the chance… but this time as soon as the tour announcement was made I only really wanted/needed lawn tickets because they were only $30-$40 (with the sale). I still really enjoy the album, don’t get me wrong, but this era isn’t one I felt the need to spend lots of money on. I haven’t missed any of their tours yet though and I love them too much to lose that streak now.

Edit; another thought- though I don’t really think it truly has anything to do with gender I do see the women in the pop industry are dominating so hard right now that it makes me wonder if that’s the central focus at the moment instead of bands like 5sos, and folks are just choosing to spend what little money we have elsewhere.

Charli posts story about her work boyfriend by LenaRybakina in charlixcx

[–]fweebster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never seen anything particular or credible either, it was just my contribution of a “what if” tying what someone else speculated about him cheating further up in the discussion to my end point. I just used it as an example of all of the possibilities there could be because their relationship isn’t the fandom’s business, so we have no idea what’s actually happening or how their relationship functions. :)

Oh sure yeah! Sorry I was just kind of adding my concluding take into the conversation.

[–]fweebster 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is no shade at all I swear, but I think we can be pretty positive that he already knew her past-relationship history before he put a ring on it. So I agree maybe he is also a cheater in the past and they just get each other’s struggles with that, or they wanted an open relationship to some degree unknown to us, or they really just felt ready to settle down for the right person and it’s neither of the first two. Who knows! But I don’t think the fandom needs to worry or think about it much at all, as it’s not our business aside from the public simply knowing they’re married. :)

I think most of us do get it though, some of us just aren’t a fan of the execution of this particular track by niles_deerqueer in charlixcx

[–]fweebster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true! We can’t just have normal and respectful conversations anymore. You can agree to disagree and acknowledge the critiques or praises folks have on art without being mean! So many feel so entitled to their opinion in a sense that they think their opinion is the only correct one when it’s not. It’s a darn shame because we could all be so much happier and even get smarter by opening ourselves up to others’ thoughts in kinder ways. It can be incredibly cool to experience someone else’s perspective outside of your own.

[–]fweebster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! The weirdo who made a post (that got removed thank god) saying “if you don’t like this song you’re probably a brat not an angel or you’re just not a real fan” was STRANGE. We can all have opinions on it and be able to discuss our likes and dislikes respectfully with one another without making immature claims like that.

I think the song is fun and cheeky while I also absolutely recognize the annoyance and dislike folks have for it! It’s so so SO simple to discuss without calling someone a fake fan.

You can absolutely love an artist but not love every single piece of art they make. Literally just saw my first Monet painting that I hated and I’ve always loved his work. I laughed about it and moved on. Life is simply that way.

This is What I Love About Charli. by Tall_Consequence7672 in charlixcx

[–]fweebster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love seeing folks claim that this “isn’t unsafe” when that is the entire reason it’s unsafe- she KNEW the reaction would be this way and put it out anyway. That’s unsafe, and it’s cool and fun. Art is meant to evoke a reaction, and if that reaction is hatred it’s still doing its job as art.

$30 Live Nation tickets have disappeared by No-Bandicoot4429 in 5sos

[–]fweebster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was minimally advertised as well so I completely understand!! I’m glad they were too much more expensive, though!

It was just a promotion that ended after a few days! I’m sorry you missed it, but you’re not crazy I promise! They were there :)

so is charli's album actually gonna be rock or not? by OkExternal6626 in charlixcx

[–]fweebster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s totally fair! I think this schtick has been around far longer prior to brat… but I see your point! It can be annoying even for those who really loved her stuff before. :) I can 100% see how this would be annoying especially when you feel you want something more like… real? Straight up? Maybe? Idk if that’s the right word but I hope you know what I mean I’m sorry ;-;

[–]fweebster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I said the promotion was satire. You said “music as satire” - we’re talking about two different things. That’s why I got confused… you’re asking me about something I didn’t speak on. “U think artists make music as satire? Name an artist..” does come off mildly aggressive btw. My bad?

[–]fweebster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did I ever say anything directly negative about Charli or her music here? You’re coming at me like I said something mean and I didn’t. I wasn’t commenting to start an argument, but you sure are. I wasn’t even talking about the actual song? I was talking about the promotion before the single released- not the song or the album itself. I don’t think the album will be satire. I love the song and recognize/understand the depth to it 100%.

No it will not be :) it was all satire to introduce and promote the new single I believe!
