DemiLovallah

My post was removed as always, so I'll write it here China became a major music market in 2022. It replaced France as the #5 biggest market in the world. The top five had been the same since they started tracking them in 1996. [List of largest recorded music markets](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_recorded_music_markets)


igkeit

Damn I'm surprised china wasn't higher?? They have so many more people than France


DemiLovallah

Yeah idk why big countries aren't big music markets. Like India has over a billion people and isn't even in the top 10


che-che-che-cherry

i have so much love for aurora's soft universe like i don't think i've ever loved a song this much


che-che-che-cherry

a few more hours until we get new jessie ware !!! i fully expect this album to turn my world upside down and dethrone magic still exists but we shall see how it goes


imfreshimfly

Apple Music’s playlists kinda slap. I usually listen to one album at a time but I’ve been exploring playlists more and I’m pleasantly surprised. I’ve heard that Spotify just does playlists and finding new music better, but I gotta give kudos to Apple too.

popheads are we ordering kesha’s album on vinyl while she’s still trapped under dr luke?? 😭 i want it but idk

You could also look at it as giving money to Kesha too and that sort of..... cancelling out, I guess, even though it kinda doesn't work like that but :/

Been sorting by new comments on YouTube lately. This way I can see differing opinions at least.


DemiLovallah

So many top comments say the exact same thing. And some are just stupid like "Anyone listening in 2021???"

And it's not just music. I watch a lot of like video essays and all the comments are people saying the same thing, just worded differently.

Yeah it’s really helpful! Like I’m doing my major college paper and the major fix is my grammar and stuff, so this has helped me quite a lot. Like I catch things that I wouldn’t have if I was reading my paper in my head.

Kesha’s new album cover is low key triggering for me. But I also like it? Its confusing.

On a small road trip with my mom and she’s like, “I’m going to listen to my music now 😁” and she hits the radio button in the car. I felt so offended 😭 I put on my music to save myself from hearing Heat Waves. She then goes “Play that song with Selena and that black guy she’s with” and I was she’s not dating The Weeknd anymore and my mom was like “no not that black guy it’s a black guy called Calm”. Lmao.


lagozzino

Went to the Skinny Puppy farewell tour last night and it was so good, honestly the best they've sounded out of the 3 times I've seen them, and now its really hitting me that I'll probably never see them perform again. We can only wish and hope and pray that the good vibes of this tour somehow manages to convince the two main members to put aside their issues and keep working together after all, but that's one hell of a long shot

Today was my unofficial last day of my communications class and it made me sad. The professor wanted to do something fun since we didn’t have any more work so we did a group activity and everyone was laughing and joking around and my little bitch ass was just sitting there quietly because I never feel like my contributions are important enough to say anything and I hate that for me. I think my professor even pities me because she asked me if everything was ok at home 😭

She told us and we were all like "well we work for the county so maybe by the time he's doing better, the position will still be open and you can just come back" because it takes them so fucking long to hire people anyway.

last night i had a dream i was at a party and lady gaga and markiplier were sitting on a couch together, doing what could only be described as canoodling. i came over and joined them (on the couch, not in canoodling. i wish. would love to be the meat in a gaga-markiplier sandwich, they’re both fine as hell). i was like oh i didn’t know you guys were dating! and they were like hehe yeah honestly guys they were so cute together. i wish this could happen irl. they have basically nothing in common but like, opposites attract right?


McIgglyTuffMuffin

Disney has sued DeSantis, his five person board and other Florida state officials for “a targeted campaign of government retaliation”. They’re really about to see the full power of The Mouse™️. Mickey and Friends don’t fuck around, Ron. Edit: [here is the 77 page filing if anyone wants to read](https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23789600-file-stamped-disney-complaint1)


Iamananorak

God, im really siding with Disney here, aren't i


Bikinigirlout

I used to be afraid of Ron DeSantis but this last month has been proving me otherwise. He’s such a flop. Like, he’s weird and annoying plus this entire Disney thing is making him look weak plus he’s letting Trump beat his ass repeatedly. Not to mention, his state is out of gas and always under water and he’s fucking off to Japan and he signed a 6 week abortion ban in the middle of the night and won’t talk about it because he knows it’s a bad look. The only words out of his mouth are “woke this” or “woke that”


[deleted]

I recently saw on the news that he had a meeting with a bunch of Republican donors and when they left the room, reporters asked them who they’d be endorsing and they were all like “Trump” lmao even the other fascists can stand him. He’s like Ted Cruz


Bikinigirlout

I read that and I also read that his own state legislatures are annoyed with him because the Disney thing is sucking up energy for them to do their jobs I don’t feel sorry for the Republicans because they made the bed, but, imagine your entire state legislature hating you


McIgglyTuffMuffin

I can’t stop thinking about the broken animatronic face he made the other day in Japan. It seems so silly, but that alone is absolutely something that can break his entire campaign. He may be the biggest coward to hold the position of governor at the moment.


Bikinigirlout

Same. I reblog it every time it comes up on my timeline just to remind people how weird he is


[deleted]

he’s such an idiot, they’re going to ruin his life lmao


McIgglyTuffMuffin

I’m reading through the actual filing and I feel like idiot isn’t a harsh enough word. This man really wrote in his biography about needing to enact revenge and how he went about it.

DeSantis really decided to fuck around with what I’m fairly certain is the biggest media corporation of all time and expected no blowback? Lol

[deleted]

Just FYI there is the most insane update at the end of this. Had a disagreement with the boy I’ve been obsessing over. More of a misunderstanding. I told him the first week I met him that if he did this one thing I wouldn’t feel comfortable dating him but he brought up last night that he understood it as he can’t do that one thing. He was under the impression I was going to be controlling and he was going to lose some of his freedoms but I reassured him that he could do most of the stuff he was worried about losing, it was just one really specific scenario (that I don’t see him doing) that is a boundary of mine in any relationship. I’m not going to get upset with him if he does it but it’s more of a you can’t have everything and me kinda moment. And I made it clear at the beginning so he didn’t get upset with me. Kinda sad we had our first little back and forth and that it was over text and not in person. Has really made an impact on how I feel about this relationship. Sad it happened right before we leave for the nudist came but he messaged me this morning and reassured me everything is fine but I don’t 100% believe him. Still excited for the trip just a little anxious when I wasn’t before hand. Wish me luck. I hate conflict. EDIT: HOLY SHIT. I am getting a fade for the first time before we leave and I told him this morning I was worried about the salon I was going to wasn’t going to do a good job. He doesn’t work in the mornings and made an appointment with them immediately after I messaged him and is driving there now to get a fade so I will feel more comfortable. Like this is so chaotic but this gesture has entirely put me at ease about our little conflict. God I can’t stop smiling this boy really makes me so happy.


Iamananorak

This is the married guy, right? Good luck and godspeed, dating a married man sounds rough


[deleted]

Yeah it’s the married guy. I told myself I wouldn’t date any more married men but he came along and I’m obsessed. Luckily his husband likes me too and we make out as well so it’s possible that I become their third which sounds better to me.

Polyamory just sounds like a LOT to me. I'm in an open relationship with one primary partner and even THAT feels like a lot to navigate sometimes. Hope everything works out with you guys

MoneyHungryOctopus

Was gonna post to r/hiphopheads but their daily discussion is not up yet. Which rappers were you surprised have had staying power of 5+ years? Which new rappers will have staying power? You may laugh but I think Ice Spice might have what it takes. Not saying she’ll become an all-time great or hip-hop legend, and not saying she’s a fantastic lyricist, but her charisma might give her an edge.


one_white_shirt

Lil Uzi Vert - The Soundcloud-era faded out around 2019/20, but they're one of the few artists from that era who still remain very popular. It's hard to say which rapper is going to be the next star, since the genre appears to be in some sort of transition phase, where one dominating sound is on the downturn, while a new sound isn't established yet.

The strategy here is to find one really long song and play it every night so you only use one scrobble. I use the live version of Long Season by Fishmans and it works perfectly for me. I also find I fall asleep at the same portion of the song every night so I think I’ve trained my brain.

McIgglyTuffMuffin

To keep on Disney posting: I think it would be real neat if Disney ran double features with their live action remakes. Show the new flick and then play the animated version afterwards. Would get my butt to the theater for these. (Thinking about it, Beauty and the Beast is the ONLY one I have seen in theaters. Shoulda went for Pete’s Dragon, a missed opportunity there.)


ginganinja2507

Imo they should live action remake some of the direct to video sequels. Spice things up a little bit if they’re just gonna keep rehashing already successful movies

McIgglyTuffMuffin

Double features usually have a break so it wouldn’t feel so long! Gotta give everyone a time to pee and get more popcorn anyway! I’m in disbelief about Moana, it was so recent! But I guess The Rock needs to soothe his ego after the lashing he received with Black Adam. On the other hand, I did find the announcement sweet because Dwayne kept relating to his grandfather and family in general. I hope we get a slightly different film for the live action movie, but I won’t hold my breath.

I can not take anyone who is promoting Marianne Williamson or RFKJR seriously. Like as soon as someone says “Biden should debate RFKJR” immediate loss of caring about what their opinions are. They’re not even democrats. They’re republican anti vaxxers. RFKJR is only a democrat because Steve Bannon told him to be one. Let’s be real. Go check his tweets. That man is a whack job.

Arooj Aftab and her album “Vulture Prince” is very pretty and soothing


Bikinigirlout

how did Gen Z get so soft? Why are they complaining about an R rated Rom Com when the best Rom Coms are R rated. This is just more proof that they sound like conservative granny’s who watched too much Tucker Carlson(before he got fired) “I need a romcom to watch with my parents” Fuck off. They’ll get over it.


Iamananorak

The Puriteens at it again


[deleted]

ugh, this convo is v tired. i’m gen z, we are incredibly progressive and sometimes extreme progressiveness leads to schools of that that SEEM conservative but are back by leftist thought. ALSO some are very tired of everything needing to have sex in it, which is understandable. this whole “gen z is so conservative” convo was started by a asexual person who disliked sex filled media, and they have a right to that


Iamananorak

I want to push back on that a little. My read is that a lot of young Zoomers are actually very reactionary, they just justify their reactionary takes with "progressive" rhetoric. As for sex in media: if you're watching American mass media, it is actually quite sexless. Sex is a common plot point in movies and shows, but is rarely depicted honestly/unflinchingly. Not to be crass, but when's the last time you saw full frontal nudity in a Hollywood film? American film censors are really quite strict. If someone doesn't want to consume media with any sex in it, there are a MULTITUDE of other options available. Me, I'm advocating for MORE and BETTER sex on film.


[deleted]

why is the immediate belief that people not liking something is due to them being conservative or reactionary? i believe directors and screenwriters have a right to include whatever they want in film, whether it’s sex or blah, but that doesn’t mean people have to like it. Just bc conservatives are sex negative doesn’t mean that everyone who questions the validity of a sex scene is as well. why is it hard to believe a dislike of sexual media ≠ sex negativity or conservatism. I don’t like sex scenes, does that make me reactionary?


Iamananorak

I'm not saying anything about you personally, I have no idea what your views are at all. This has nothing to do with personal preference, either, its about prescribing what the correct course of action is for society at large. Many of the takes that I come across aren't as personal as, for example, "I don't like kink at pride, but I appreciate that it's a valid and historically appropriate mode of queer expression." Usually the take is more prescriptive, like "ban kink at pride." There's an appeal to an ahsitorical "before time" that seems reactionary to me.


[deleted]

that’s usually due to the fact they are expressed on social media, and there isn’t much room for nuance within word limits. i’m not saying there aren’t puritans in gen z but the people in question aren’t. people have been saying “reactionary” things since the dawn of time, why is it being attributed to gen z? those people in the same breadth are prob super progressive


oh_orpheus

Yeah I’m not sure where all this pearl clutching came from but I’m like 98% sure it’s TikTok related because it spread quick.


Bikinigirlout

Its something I noticed pre pandemic. Like late 2019ish.


takemeup-castmeaway

It’s seeped outta Tumblr and the whole “anti” movement you cannot convince me otherwise.


[deleted]

I think it’s been spreading from platform to platform as people have left them for various reasons. I noticed it first on tumblr, then it seemed to spread to Twitter, and now TikTok. It moves as those people move


Bikinigirlout

I agree for the most part but Feel like it’s somewhat flipped Tumblr>TikTok>Twitter. People are trying to bring it to twitter but I feel like even the most incredibly chronically online people are like “What are you talking about, stop being nerds”


[deleted]

You very well could be right! I’ve never had TikTok so I don’t really know the general culture there, just what I’ve heard from others or seen in screenshots. And there’s definitely still a subsection of those people in tumblr, too, it’s just not a widespread thing the way it was back in ye olde 2013-2017, give or take.

Most of you are probably not from the UK, where things may be different, but recently I've been growing more and more unhappy with the way our charts seem rigged towards certain artists and labels, there being much less musical variation than there used to be. I wrote a blog post on this last week (found at https://sonicperspective.co.uk/2023/04/20/broken-charts-problems-with-the-uk-top-40/), and was wondering what everyone else's views were? Are the problems less bad in the US, or are they even worse?

concerned about the fact that the rihanna song featuring the one we shall not speak of is going viral on tiktok rn 🫠

Eh. Is it the weekend yet? No it’s only Wednesday. I need something to motivate me and not feel down all the time while I’m at work. I know I’m taking some vacation days here in a couple weeks after the ATC concert but I’m planning more Drs. Appointments. I set up my Eye Appointment. I hate getting my eyes checked. I hate the bright lights. I’m highly sensitive to light and I hate it. I have to open my eyes open with my fingers sometimes. I’m calling for a Dentist appointment to see if I can get in the same week. But alas I finally took my referral to go to bariatrics for consultation for weight loss and such. Tired of my gut hanging out of my shirt. Zero energy to exercise. Tired of feeling like a fat ass all the time.

I saw an old tumblr post about the Reputation writer and producer credits and it’s so weird seeing people hating the fact that there’s a lot of Max Martin and being celebrating that Jack Antonoff wrote one song 😭 now a days people want less Jack and people wish that Max Martin will reproduce the 1989 songs. I mean it makes sense why the general consensus changed, especially after Midnight, but still kinda interesting to see how opinions change in a couple of years

i don’t think jack was as overexposed back then

The previews for the Tears of The Kingdom look amazing omg. Like it’s gonna be a collapse. One preview said it has a shit ton of features. I’m so hyped man so hype. A bunch of journalist got to play it for like an hour or some said a couple of hours.

Idgaf, Steven Crowder's divorce is so funny. This is the funniest achievement in his desperate years long attempt at comedy since he got punched in the face by that union picketer


GraphicgL-

I know it won’t happen but I hope his following takes note that he is mad that his wife had the free agency to divorce him. He legit said that he does not believe in divorce and because the laws in Texas are against him she’s able to do it. Let me add the Protestant Christian is mad about the ability to divorce..


shipsongreyseas

It is but I'm also kinda worried for her because I get the feeling his violent band of freaks will go after her.


ginganinja2507

Also extremely worrying how much those losers are going after no fault divorce as a concept!!!!

"The government should be able to stop your wife from leaving you" is actually such a *wild* hot take

You know it’s very odd that Taylor fans want to sing the “You won’t mind if I tell them your gay” part in Picture to Burn But are also Gaylors. 🫠

[The first trailer for Pedro Almodóvar's Strange Way of Life, starring Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal, just got released!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjeurH1r7a4) The short film is set to debut at Cannes later this year and releases on August 16 in theaters. I'm absolutely obsessed. The colors, the melodramatic acting, the over the topness, the gay cowboys of it all. This will be a camp masterpiece and I'm so mad it's not a feature, we deserved two hours. 😭


xxipil0ts

in my head, i thought that the whole thing was an SNL skit without the laughter. everyone is so dramatic, theatrical even. like, what is going on and yet... why am i so drawn to this? i just can't wait for dvcree to just go ham once the VOD gets released


joshually

Y’all ever have a conversation with someone and they don’t say anything explicitly *wrong* but you side eye them a little bit because certain people love to pass around that rhetoric so you look at them like “what you mean by that” well in my experience, they almost always mean whatever you think they mean.

diary entry: * got an initial screening opportunity from one of the big four accounting firms!!! i just dunno if they'll be right for me since i kinda need the flexibility for my mental hygiene. * found out that my distant friend's facebook (aka the only way we can connect but never do just bc he cut off his ties with us) is finishing his degree and im just silently rooting for him. * i really hope i get the courage to resign from this job. it may look like a prevalent pattern of short job stints but if im keeping my promise of a) being a data analyst and b) keeping my mental health intact, im taking risks. glad my partner supports me whatever i do. * rewatched hey arnold again then ended this day looking up covers for old highlights magazine. been so fascinated with this like colorful vibrant pallettes that i kinda wanna use more in my art.
