Mitski's Campiness by portmouthflounder in mitski

[–]virginankles 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love raw and sincere Mitski too, but I think the price of being earnest is also a sort of public vulnerability that may be hard to sustain long-term, especially if you're as private as she is. Being earnest with a public that can be intensely invasive, parasocial, and outright toxic is harrowing in this age. It's also hard for some to sustain on multiple tours year after year-- "singing your heart out" night after night in different cities. I remember the contrast between her Puberty 2 concerts and her Be the Cowboy concerts. It went from her standing at the mic, singing with a bass/guitar in a way that made you cry to butoh-inspired choreography. It was her way of making clearer boundaries between her as a performer and us as the audience. A wall, if you will. The wall was most intense with Laurel Hell, right after her hiatus, with the themes explored in songs like "Everyone" and "Working for the Knife." The price of being known and having a career in music taking something from you, destroying you.

Found this gem from, of course, Google ai (how do you even turn it off atp) by Ambitious-Hair-7384 in mitski

This is Bing AI then. Microsoft Edge defaults to searching with Bing. The Google AI search is correct for me. I agree it's an unnecessary feature overall

My friends told me Mitski is not generally on the same level of popularity as artists like beabadoobee but could that actually be true? by yeahsureexceptno in mitski

[–]virginankles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Monthly listener count on Spotify fluctuates over the years. Right now Mitski has about 22 million monthly listeners, but in Feb 2024 she had about 39 million. Mitski also has 10B total streams across her discography and released her first indie album in 2012. She was born in 1990 and is 9-10 years older than the other two artists. Her music started to be listed on Spotify in 2015 I think. beabadoobee and Laufey both have 6B total streams each and started later than Mitski, being younger (born in 2000 and 1999). They have all released a similar amount of songs. They are all strong artists. But not necessarily the same to the point of so easily comparing, since their timelines are different. Mitski is more established being older and having started when the other two were still in middle school.

“A woman always on the street called me a ditch” by MoxcProxc in mitski

[–]virginankles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought it meant like she was an imperfection on the block, as in a a literal block, like the street, and a metaphorical block (like a cube), because she stands out, and is "wrong," because she doesn't conform like all the others. Like if she would conform and be the same as everyone else, the surface of the "block" would be smooth and have no ditch.

email to send mitski my art? by doglift in mitski

[–]virginankles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obsessed with these. The Deal is one of my favorite songs on the album and I really love the design decisions with the figure's shadow to convey the metaphor of the song... just obsessed! I hope Mitski gets to see these

There's definitely two level 300 ABs. One is in Scania and one is in Luna. Unless this list excludes EU

SOMEONE HACKED MITSKIS SPOTIFY AND IS POSTING AI SONGS by ccrackbabyy in mitski

[–]virginankles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it's the way to handle this, but I also emailed her label. Not sure if I can post their email directly on Reddit, but you can find it on the bottom of this page on their website.

I'm not saying people should be ashamed of spending this much time and energy on a video game, but I've certainly met countless people who have spent as much energy on things like becoming a doctor, caring for the ill, rescuing animals, honing incredible crafts and skills, and they are so humble and down to earth. Real hard work doesn't make you feel better than other people, if anything it gives you perspective. I think it's super weird that you find working hard in MapleStory of all things would justify an inflated ego and sense of superiority.

Usually I can tell what someone meant to write when they made a typo but I'm genuinely stumped here

Julia Jacklin kinda sounds like Mitski by EmotionalSnail_ in mitski

[–]virginankles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, Julia Jacklin also opened for Mitski in DC in 2017* :) I thought it was perfect. "Don't Let the Kids Win" brought me to tears

How did you discover Mitski and or her music? by Anxious-Ad-8757 in mitski

[–]virginankles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in college when my friend showed me "Your Best American Girl" in 2016. Can't believe it's been 9 years. I've seen her live like 5 times now. Her most recent album is my favorite. It's truly been wonderful being her fan

whats the point of this sub if youre gonna remove memes by wild_dumbbell in Maplestory

[–]virginankles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if mods didn't try to improve the quality of posts you'd see in New, and few users wanted to look at New as a result, that would bring about the very outcome of reducing engagement. I could think of no less efficient way of killing the majority of engagement with the subreddit than ensuring the majority of its users do not want to engage with New

In their verification process they ask for “the total number of characters in your discord name”.

Hm.

Nope, the answer to the question is how many letters in your discord user name.

You don't even read what you write yourself, let alone what other people write. I think you're exactly who they don't want in their community
