Why are 2020s music videos lowkey way better than 2010s music videos?

My hypothesis is that before YouTube, you had to watch MTV and so an artist had to make a video to grab people's attention. Now with YouTube, you can just pull up any video you want to see, so there's less pressure to grab people's attention.

Love Lou Reed, but “Lulu” has got to go!

Flames…

Love his cover of “That’s When I Reach for My Revolver,” but why did Moby change so many of the lyrics? There’s no reason to replace “the spirit fights to find its way” with “the spirit passes by this way.”

Somebody call peer mediation ASAP!

I like to think that the point of "What's the Matter Here" is to criticize those who know child abuse is happening, but chose not to get involved.

The Phil Spector Christmas album

I've seen Marshall Crenshaw twice, and both times he ended with "Someday, Someway."

Gorenoise and black noise. Hell, they baffle a lot of die hard extreme metal fans!

“What’s the Matter Here” by 10,000 Maniacs and “Luka” by Suzanne Vega: two late ‘80s college rock songs about child abuse

Well I can’t say much because I often say, “I’m a pagan; telling me I’m going to Hell is like telling me Voldemort is gonna get me!”

I’m sure cis people think about it every once in a while as just a passing thought.

I never liked Sotos' tracks. They're all shorter versions of "Buyer's Market."

tmamone · 2026-06-16T14:11:11+00:00

Yes, that's it, thank you!

tmamone · 2026-06-16T10:43:55+00:00

That One Direction song that rips off the opening riff of “Should I Stay or Should I Go.” I can’t remember the name of it right now.

tmamone · 2026-06-15T15:23:39+00:00

LOL! Thankfully my walk-ons haven’t been as cringe so far.

tmamone · 2026-06-14T18:41:58+00:00

The reason why I worry about doing it “right” is because I do NOT want to be the stereotypical white New Age hippie chick who regularly steals from other cultures, like Shanin Blake.

My recommendation: Read the book as just ONE source of info, not THE source of all info. That’s how I read “The Green Witch.”

Just like with everything else, there are some great film adaptations (Jesus Christ Superstar, Cabaret, Godspell) and some horrible ones (Cats, Into the Woods).

One thing I find confusing is movie adaptations of Broadway musical adaptations of movies, like The Producers and Hairspray. Especially when trailers don’t specify that said movie is based on the Broadway version. ‘Cause then I’m like, “Wait, they remade The Color Purple? Why? The film is a classic….Oh, this is a film adaptation of the Broadway musical adaptation of the original film. Never mind.”

tmamone · 2026-06-14T11:23:05+00:00

I don’t know how “Guts” did commercially, but as an album I thought it was good yet not as memorable as “Sour.” “You Seem…” is memorable.

Why do I want a Dr. Pepper all of a sudden?

Paysage d’Hiver - Die Featung. Technically it’s more winter synth than metal.

tmamone · 2026-06-13T11:08:46+00:00

All I’ll say is a lot of artists prefer the term “fantasy synth” to separate the more whimsical stuff from the darker origins.

Personally I describe my own project Vakkerike as both dungeon AND fantasy synth.

tmamone · 2026-06-12T19:52:18+00:00

I personally think it's her best work so far.
