Why isn't shitting on pop music as cool as it was a decade ago?
Why isn't shitting on pop music as cool as it was a decade ago?
because corpo-pop and corpo-rap is all zoomers have
The pendulum swung, simple as. Indie rockism was played out by the recession era and people were ready for poptimism. But now that's played out too so the pendulum might swing back again.
"Music as a fashion accessory" has been largely replaced by "politics as a fashion accessory" since then.
this
also notice how 99% of big pop stars are women now, so if you criticize them you're an incel, just like if you criticize rap you're a maga racist
Poptimism but I imagine there's still a lot of metalheads who want to murder pop stars
it was never cool, virgins
bieber's gone now, off the charts and inactive.
most of the pop garbage we shit on back then is gone. one direction is dead, bts is on hiatus and irrelevant
it's still cool in general to shit on pop, just look at many threads here.
who says it's not cool anymore
every genre gets shit on and every genre has its fans
To not care about Taylor Swift or Beyoncé or Lady Gaga or Zayn Malik is in itself questionable. It reveals not your taste in music, but your prejudices. In the worst-case scenario, you may be revealing your unconscious racism and sexism. At best, you're trolling."
The fuck is this guys problem?
I dont care about Zayn Malik because he performs trash music made to be played at malls and sold to teenage girls. He doesnt even write his own music, a team of managers and salespersons writes his songs. They are made to be as obnoxious as possible so that they can be noticed everywhere. It lacks authenticity, self- expression and artfulness which are core elements of music to me.
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with poptimists?
LE PENDULUM
I swear to god midwits can only memorize the names of numbers greater than two, but can't actually conceive of the numbers themsevles

jesus fucking christ.... touch grass
Girls don't want to crush on and fawn over male popstars anymore. It's, like, totes unfeminist, yaknow?? So therefore male jealousy never gets triggered and the memes never get made.
tupac wouldve been completely washed up by 2008 and thats assuming he had some kind of comeback album in the mid 00s, also hating on Justin Bieber so much was cringe in retrospect hes a terrible target for ire and has ultimately become one of the most harmless celebs culturally of modern day
2pac was zesty af
You have to be a turbonormie of the highest caliber to even know who pop stars are enough to hate them anymore. Like the kind of people who still watch the oscars or some shit. Alot of people have zero exposure to it these days.
It was at very least a lot more common.
Maybe yeah.
2pac was just as much slop as JB was
2pac is a terrible example
of all the dead people to bring back he would never be one of them
tupac would've been grooming tf outta biebs if he was around
2pac was a fag. Black's number one and number 2 heroes were both faggot actors, the wakanda guy really died of aids
black's number 3 hero is michael jackson
Anyone notice the decline of rock music in society correlates with around the time white male demonization became more popular?
now that you mention it, yeah. there could be something there. probably a combination of multiple factors but that might be one.

Biebs is a good guy. 2pac is zesty as FUVCK
Pop music is no longer that relevant beyond its intended demographics
people have sympathy now for biebs because of diddy (whatever happened there)
disregarding the fact his music still blows
getting diddied doesn't suddenly make his music any better
rock was dead since the 2000s though
Oh no Namefag Sperg Faggot agrees with me. Never mind, I take it back. It's because of white genocide.
Rappers (and their fans) are literal dog shit
be rapper
get shot
get thrown in the trash
be rap fan
get shot
get thrown in the trash
Ah, much better
Better than metal fags
No, not really.
Because genre, or something being obscure/mainstream is ultimately irrelevant.
The quality of the music or talent of the performer is all that matters.
be metal fan
get stabbed 30 times by fellow band member
because idol worship won in the end. it is no longer about the music but rather the person behind the music.
Poor Ronnie
What really happened between you and [murdered MAYHEM founder] Euronymous when you met in the early '90s?"
Glen Benton responded: "This is how out of the loop I was. I met him and he kind of reminded me of Squiggy from 'Laverne and Shirley'. Because I met him when I was a kid, too, at a baseball game. I met him and I was like, 'Wow, fuckin' Squiggy.' Anyway, I meet the guy and he's carrying a mace, but it looks like he stole the table leg off his mom's kitchen table and put, like, nails through it and shit. And he was wearing this $1.99 cape that you'd buy at the dollar store during Halloween. They brought me backstage and they said, 'Uranus, or whatever, from MAYHEM is there and wants to meet you.' So I went out there and met him. And in his broken English, he said [in robotic, foreign accent] 'I did not have problem with you, but this band GORGUTS. They are not true death-metal/black-metal band.' And I was just sitting there with a big shit-eating grin on my face like, 'Yeah, that's cool, man.' And I really didn't know the importance of the guy. To me he looked like another goofball fan."

very nice
Because there used to be layers to how bad pop music was.
Bling era rappers, and hackish popstars used to put out music that was bad for a variety of reasons. A lot of the worst pop music of Bieber's time was actively annoying or ridiculous which gave you something to talk about. And back then mainstream artists were such imbeciles that it was fun to laugh at them. There was actually something to make fun of.
In a post-Imagine Dragons world, pop music is just bad because it's unapologetically mediocre and aesthetically-absent. It's so uniform and sterile that there isn't anything particular about it to poke at. Post Malone and Drake are just punchable faced faggots with no personality, making music with even less personality, to an audience of subhumans with EVEN LESS personality.
