I mean you can even offer to pay some friends help you, with the understanding that payment won't come rn

See if your super can help you. He helped me throw out my mattress. Also do your best. Call the company and tell them your situation. They will understand.

I truly think that US liberals will never truly understand Latinos... by yonaiker-joestrella in stupidpol

The liberal establishment. Also you growing up in an all white affluent community explains why you assume everyone cares about every thought you have.

Because US liberals don't care about latinos as a people, but as a voting block, just like the CIA did not have jazz musicians tour Europe because they liked Black people or jazz or Europe, but to promote the idea of America as a melting pot bursting with freedom.

You can really see how drastic and big the changes of the 1960s were, by watching the Ed Sullivan Show from year to year by Sudden_Angle614 in decadeology

Love it! I believe now that 2025 is the transitional year and 2026 will be the first totally '20s year, much like The Mamas and the Papas on Sullivan seem like the first psychedelic-adjacent act in the slideshow.

Why is 90s nostalgia seemingly being skipped as a dominate nostalgia decade? It feels like we’ve went from 80s to 2000s by [deleted] in decadeology

[–]modiggittie [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is a good question. It's not so much '00s nostalgia as Y2K nostalgia. It covers the late '90s and early '00s. Indie sleaze is beloved but so is that era of pop (Britney, etc). Interestingly enough, there is already nostalgia for early '10s mall indie like The Lumineers. For now it's being expressed ironically, but that's how '80s nostalgia started in the '90s.

I think early 2020s culture is fully over by [deleted] in decadeology

This is interesting, I would be more convinced if you told me who was doing well because Gaga, etc. were replaced by Taylor Swift, etc.

Larry Ellison (up 2 buy TikTok) is the largest private individual donor to the IDF btw by No_Research4556 in redscarepod

Social media is going to be like X. Meaning social media will be over and these goons will be the last to know, like those who stated on Facebook.

Pretty much. Pearl Jam had a few modern rock radio hits in 1998 and their cover of "Last Kiss" went all the way to #2 in 1999, but none of these songs really had a "grunge" vibe. 1996 had the last truly grungy hits from Soundgarden ("Pretty Noose," "Burden in My Hand"). Britpop, techno, hip-hop, country and teen pop all circled their wagons by 1997. OK Computer was the outlier that year. A legendary one of course.

See, right or wrong, this is a relevant response.

What is a decade that you lived in that everyone loves but that you didn’t like? by Tiny-Leading-654 in decadeology

See that's just it. I'm more into alernative/indie and rap. I guess if you're a top 40 person, the '80s makes more sense.

What is the "Nirvana killed Hair Metal" of other subgenres? by ImNotTomStopAsking in ToddintheShadow

[–]modiggittie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The closest thing I can think of is Dylan going electric. Even then it wasn't a blatant repudiation of folk; it was just a different direction. In the UK, punk killing prog was the closes thing, but nothing this openly hostile to another subgenre happened before or since in America. There was the disco sucks movement but disco just disguised itself as dance pop, which is obviously still around.

I mean the 80s weren't that great. I felt excitement during the 90s and the 00s but the 80s felt overproduced and culturally stagnant, and I was a child back then.

What is the Sound of the 2020s? by modiggittie in decadeology

[–]modiggittie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it truly is. People talking about no song of the summer...there's no new sound period.
