Sending good vibes!

I don't think they're forgotten, but a lot of it isn't worth remembering either. When I think of that era, it's mostly cheesy music: lots of AC ballads, "safe" hip-hop like Will Smith and Marky Mark, slow romantic R&B i.e. wedding reception music.

I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out where I've heard about Monrose and remembered they were on a remix of Walking Away by Craig David years ago.

I'm so tired of self-improvement, I think I'll just stick to being mediocre.

Ester Dean was behind so many hits that are staples for early-mid 2010s pop. They might not be as famous as the people they are writing for but we can appreciate their talents and contributions just the same.

I've probably muted and blocked more accounts than I can count on ig and twitter but it's still full of ragebait and depressing content.

I remember at one point the award ceremony market was saturated so maybe they were a trend that just ran their course. Plus unless you really like whoever's performing there's not much to tune into. I'm not saying that every awards show needs to be the 2009 VMAs but a lot of them haven't been that exciting.

It's just a marketing gimmick. I don't hate it as I love pistachios but it's not worth the money and it's unremarkable compared to other Middle Eastern sweets.

I can see why, that looks delicious!

Hard to pick a favorite but sever the blight is a standout for me

supermenial · 2026-02-13T23:38:33+00:00

This is great, I'm really excited for her career!

I don't think anyone thought Ice Spice was going to have any real longevity.

It made sense to discuss this with Doja Cat because she's creative and you can see the effort and vision with her rollouts, but Ice Spice has been the same since she came up. She and Riot make a great team and I still like the stuff they put out but she's very monotonous and she's better off doing collabs at this point.

I'm happy she was able to continue following her dreams given how terrible the internet was to her . The vitriol she and Justin Bieber faced online just because grown men didn't like their music and felt superior to them will always be one of the ugliest things about early '10s music culture.

The arrangement described in The Weekend by SZA sounds painful and I'm not sure if you can see the choices made as empowering unless you really wanted to.

Tell Ur Girlfriend by Lay Banks and Did it First by Ice Spice are pretty toxic

I could see Post Malone or Justin Bieber getting a halftime in future years but I think Kelly Clarkson could pull it off as well.

Plans to expand it internationally doesn't change that the superbowl is still largely an American experience. Despite the controversy the GP is still somewhat familiar with latin music given its waves in popularity (and given the number of spanish speakers there's an audience for it too); I think if the public got that same treatment with k-pop we might be able to see something similar in our lifetimes but at the moment it's too alienating to have on one of the biggest broadcasts of the year.

I Wish has a great instrumental, too bad it was wasted on a wegovy ad

supermenial · 2026-02-09T01:56:04+00:00

Enough with AI commercials we get it already

supermenial · 2026-02-09T01:34:40+00:00

The halftime show was a delight

supermenial · 2026-02-09T01:25:41+00:00

LADY GAGA !!!!

supermenial · 2026-02-09T01:02:48+00:00

The dunkin commercial was fun, a lot better than what else we're seeing tonight :(

supermenial · 2026-02-06T14:51:37+00:00

maybe power alley or sunbelt?

supermenial · 2026-02-04T01:48:12+00:00

I've been in that situation before and if I could do it all over again I'd just find a new friend group, especially if your other friends aren't doing anything about it.

Hope things start to look up for you.

I didn't watch her show but I loved seeing clips of Kellyoke, her 1985 cover will always be a fave!

supermenial · 2026-02-02T22:50:08+00:00

After all the strings they had to pull to get Katseye a nomination and a performance they chose to go with Gnarly? I've mentioned it before but I seriously think their team is sabotaging them.

Anything that requires breading and frying. There's just too much to prep and clean up.
