OK, is this the worst piece of music writing ever?

the post was penned to create the illusion of an idiotic hick (also note the intentional mispelling), but the irl whiney didn't want to risk an ironic slur being irl triggering

the practice of typing an asterisk in the place of one vowel when typing a slur doesn't originate with whiney tbf, it's a baffling practice to me but that's for another time mebbe

"phew, with an i/a in it that word might be triggering!"

language is changing, and the inalienable right to type a misspelled homophobic slur in all its glory is not exactly a hill worth dying on

(as i have said before)

then why did you type it

well, the irl wins would err on the side of not typing ironic slurs in the 1st place

xp

it's not like we don't know what word you meant...

i honestly toyed with the phrasing of the post to find the right combo of "ignorant disdain for coastal elites" to juxtapose with "having opinions on william congreve" and I couldn't find something that was as concisely effective at conveying ignorance as misspelling a homophobic slur

i sound like LJ now

And, also, my politics don't line up with every Louis CK routine despite also being a human Wall•E

It's like the text equivalent of a silicone nipple petal

i'm doing a character, you *insert horrible insulting term my constructed stereotype would use*!!

i'm not sure why whiney doesn't just stick with "diaper drinkers", because he's never going to top that in or out of character

reminds me of

[adds 'triggering' to list of words that now instantly give me a headache when I read them]

Aww bless, does it trigger you?

let's just say it's become a problematic word for me

tr*ggering

i'm not sure why whiney doesn't just stick with "diaper drinkers", because he's never going to top that in or out of character

I stole that line from J4son P3ttigrew of Alternative Press iirc

Wading through as much of this as I could stand is what I imagine listening to 45 Omar Rodríguez-López solo albums is like:

I feel like every ex in this piece should receive a paycheck for being subjected to this http://www.complex.com/music/2017/01/what-happens-if-you-text-your-ex-bryson-tiller-lyrics/

gross

(assuming they're real people, which if not, it's equally shit in a different way)

No way in hell those are real, but he sure did get a lot of clicks with a headline suggesting they are

lol there is a zero percent chance those were sent to real people. are you kidding?

i don't think they're trying to fool ppl into thinking otherwise either but apparently it's doing that regardless

it's definitely fake but also gross in its own fake way. horrible piece of course.

What if someone texted these Run DMC lyrics to real sucker MCs

you say "are you kidding" but if it turned out an actual publication actually commissioned this sort of thing, would anyone really be surprised

seems more corny than gross to me, i mean the punchline is "do you guys realize that bryson tiller is kind of a creep" but written in "we're down w/ the kids" memetalk via text messages ... its bad content but im not sure i see how it's 'gross'

i guess the execution is kind of unintended-ly gross for making you think abt the poor people on the other side? but still it's clearly positioned to be mocking bryson tiller

the suggestion that your exes are guinea pigs you could subject to a mind-fuck social experiment in the name of #content is gross

sure? idk what kind of person reads this & goes away thinking "i should try this on my ex"

like the message is clearly "this would turn out badly"

idek why im arguing this point, we all the think the article is bad

there's also the angle of (probably-)white dude using rap lyrics for his hilarious idea of a "self-deprecating" prank

i mean, its more white dude stealing the concept from black people on twitter, where it's a longstanding joke where ppl express their *self awareness* about the douchey-ness of the lyrics by pointing out how no one would talk like that irl, drawing attention to the role of music like tiller's as a kind of therapeutic or emotional "its ok to feel it but not to act on it" kind of thing

no one (w/ a moral compass) would talk like that irl

obviously those jokes can also be interpreted in other ways, like there's a subset of dudes who send those texts to their exes just to get funny responses (which is gross) & there's probably a subset of weirdos who dont get the joke, but the overall thrust of it is supposed to be: the way bryson tiller talks is not how healthy people in relationships talk to each other

point being as i said before: there are problems with this bad article, but i think you're misinterpreting it

there's something about how the female voice is being subtly mimicked and mocked here too, i think...some of the replies as written are i think meant to be self-deprecating to the author but come off the other way a bit.

this has little to do with the quality of the piece, I admit, but just the sheer arrogance of it, how women are called clingy bitches if they even so much as think about contacting an ex once or, like, go to an event in their neighborhood or whatnot

(and then how something like this fits perfectly into the ironic-acceptable ex behavior overton window)

Could you imagine being an adult media professional and either having or pretending someone is in your phone as "ex-bae" even jokingly
