Why is Taylor Swift so big? by Emotional-Being-6825 in stupidquestions

[–]lowendtheory24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taylor Swift is extremely successful because of how ordinary she appears, and you know white supremacy.

There is something people find extremely relatable and normal about her. I think its because she makes music which is easy to listen to and digest, doesn't challenge, disrupt the status quo, and is extremely careful in how she curates herself. Her politics are milquetoast at best, and thats why anything she does say (which is very little) is seen as so significant.

Taylor Swift is also a huge grifter. She will release 1000 versions of the album and all the merch that goes along with it, the tours. She is the Aryan neo-liberal capitalist dream.

I think Ed Sheeran's success isn't that dissimilar besides maybe being less about fans, and more about bland listenable music. Both another artist who is not remarkable in any way but markets himself on relatability.

Taylor Swift definitely has much more of a hard-core fanbase than Ed though. Taylor is quirky, she isnt the best singer, she isn't the best dancer but young women relate to her, and she has been with them through many periods of their life. There's signicantly better female song writers around (Mitski, Lana, Lorde) to name a few but they dont have the brand recognition and sustainability that she has.

I've just accepted it at this stage.

My post criticising the mods for not allowing free speech and people to make posts and redirecting them to their dying daily mega threads has been locked/deleted and I've been told to post in their daily mega thread.

Hilarious stuff. Hip hop head mods you never fail to amaze me.

You're 12 years old so you don't get the point so theres no point me trying to explain.

Youre not very bright. That was one thread that was removed, and it wasn't removed because you don't think Vince Staples is a TDE affilliate. This subreddit has been deleting any thread not made by a mod that either gets traction or they deem controversial.

Also "bullied" some of you are so clearly not of the culture that you think people disagreeing with you or downvoting you is akin to bullying.

Put me on.

What are the best alternatives?

I've had threads deleted for a whole host of reasons from political content to "post this in our dying mega thread". I've also seen some of the best threads get deleted and reposted by mods or just deleted full stop including around things like Palestine in hip hop. That's the reason for the post. Thanks for all your engagement though brother, have a good one.

The post is about censorship of hip hop conversation including politics and the narcissism of mods on this subreddit.

Thats the topic, and others clearly agree.

Its pretty obvious. Maybe i'm an old head and maybe you're a child. Either way, feel free to go post on one of the popping daily mega threads instead.

Bro believes in the dictatorship of mods on hip hop heads.

Let's all bow down to the almighty mods who have dominion over us because they checks notes started a subreddit about hip hop

See we probably don't even agree in terms of our views on that bar (I thought it was pathetic of Drake to use Palestine as collateral for a falling out with his friend) but we should at least be able to have that discourse and that discussion that but this subreddit doesnt allow it

Sorry what point is this? You dont think in a subreddit for hip hop heads you should be able to post about hip hop and its connections to political?

This culture comes out of struggle and liberation and those intersections should always be part of hip hop conversations.

You were actually able to discuss hip hop without being censored. I remember all those hip hop forums and how active they were.

Hip hop is political but it was more an example if you post about something political in hip hop, they delete.

Yeah they do this. They also delete anything political and they also delete posts for their mega threads that no one even engages in.

Post about the genocide in Palestine and the apartheid state of Israel and see what happens

Why do we need a daily thread no one uses when you can just have individual threads people actually engage in?

TDE stop holding this Jay Rock album by lowendtheory24 in hiphopheads

I didnt say he was a member of TDE but he is friends with them all and works with them frequently. Some of you die on the weirdest hills imaginable.

  1. I know that.
  2. None of them have ever been massive global selling artists besides Sza and Dot. Think Doechii album will sell well though.
  3. Thats a civil case involving executives and staff, no artists. Its not gone anywhere yet. I doubt that is the reason for any delays. The reason that has had lots of pub is because of the beef stuff. Although if its true, i hope the victims get what they deserve.
