women calling each other "bitches" is totally different from guys calling women "bitches"
It may be different, but it doesn't make it better. Women can oppress women, you know.
I know, but I was specifically referring to Lex's anecdote, which (I think) was not about women oppressing women.

Here's the first half, btw, for anyone who wants to catch up: ILM Top 100 2000-2004: TRACKS
That list shows me how out-of-synch I was with ILM in those years. (I discovered this place in '06, I believe.) I've not heard 45 of the top 100. If we repolled those years now, I wonder if Andrew WK would get two songs on the list.

The top 20 in the 00-04 poll is pretty awesome, except for Radiohead and LCD Soundsystem. Can't imagine the top 20 in here being as good, since 05-09 coincided with the Reign of Indie Electro.

I'd argue a lot of rap or r'n'b lyrics are at least a little bit about expressing that which adult society seeks to squish.
Gee, you think? I have to admit I am actually a little fascinated by lex's slant on things at this point, because I can't fathom how these pieces all fit together, especially how this intense anti-twee/anti-Romantic (at least against some version of Romanticism) moralizing fits with the embrace of so much anti-social crap.

Also, in my experience, people who adopt a hip-hop swagger in everyday life treat people like shit a lot more than hippies do (though hippies can be jerks, no doubt), e.g. hip-hop educator/activist J**** G. S****, who used to come in to the public library in Philadelphia and treat most of the female staff like crap (regardless of their race, interestingly).

if you say "really critically underrated" about a record that got an 8.1 on Metacritic and ranked #4 in Pazz & Jop, you're just full of shit, and naming one of like 3 major outlets that gave it less than a glowing review doesn't really back up your point.

Yeah al but if you are talking about its critical rep now no one talks about it like 'one of the best lps of the 00s' it was always just a hit w like mainstream boner critics who think like mgmt is the best rock band of the 00s and drake is a great rapper and success is an indicator of greatness etc

right...but basically you can make that clarification, or that you meant primarily PF/ilx now, well after making a much broader statement that was categorically incorrect and being called out on it. (xpost)

Well you object to misogyny in rock music, I just assumed it would apply across all music.

it's not misogynistic if the hoes are independently dyking it imo

or if you have some bizarre interpretation playing out in your head in which the hoes aren't hoes at all, apparently

― some dude, Friday, 2 July 2010 14:47 (thirteen years ago) link
it's not misogynistic if the hoes are independently dyking it and have signed a release form in triplicate saying that they consent to being referred to as hoes in the understanding that this is merely a signifier of manly but non-threatening attraction and should not be construed to have any demeaning connotations such as might be imagined by women and sensitive hoe-saving indie listeners
