tumblr rapper kitty pryde

whiney doing some sort of dumbed down megyn kelly routine now

let's change the subject for no reason
https://medium.com/facts-only/b7deb1cb614c

like there's a dozen different places that would better belong, in the medium thread maybe but this one keeps popping up in my bookmarks

um, i didn't get the sense that kitty pryde was "freaking out" about the anime thing because it validated her own cultural existence

i think it was entirely "lol this old rapper sounds like a total weirdo trying to make a reference to a cultural phenomenon two decades removed from his own generation"

like, pretty much a default pre-25 y/o reaction to anything. i prob do it all the time \(o_O)/

the funny thing to me is that she didn't stop for a second and consider if "eat the cake/anime" made any sense at all then think about what else the line could've meant

aka people probably shouldn't consent to having unedited liveblogs posted to web sites with millions of monthly uniques

"A cultural phenomenon two decades removed from his own generation" how new do you think anime is

i thought he was talking about shanghai express

we had our robotech and what not but anime as a thing that lots of americans are into def seems like a millennial thing

i mean adjust the timeline for however you see fit, i think my point stands

btw i know literally nothing about anime so i'm generalizing

its ok u can tell us abt ur anime

we had our robotech and what not but anime as a thing that lots of americans are into def seems like a millennial thing

really? i think it goes back a decade further, that's when I started seeing huge all-anime sections in video stores etc.

i think perhaps the cultural associations around anime have shifted, as cultural associations are wont to do, but I'd say anime fandom was a notable subculture in the 90s/early 00s (i.e. when kitty pryde was a zygote/urchin)

come on dude

opn released a shitty video someone directed for him that was a weak satire of negative stereotypes about people who like anime, not a celebration of it or an attempt to score internet points by using anime aesthetics, laurel halo had an album cover with japanese schoolgirls committing harikari on it that didn't really have anything to do with anime

there is no art-tumblr internet anime appreciation cognoscenti, kitty/hemsworth/friendzone pokemon namedrops on twitter are just representative of the wider cultural penetration of 4chan and video games as a general thing

adult swim on cartoon network shows anime shows, the odd future show, and the boondocks which is literally an anime show about black culture and rap, to suggest that a bunch of obscure white electronic musicians most people have never heard of have a monopoly on anime references is just a completely bizarre new york internet music writer echo chamber bullshit assertion to make

but i guess this is the kitty pryde thread so whatever i mean if there wasn't a new york internet music writer echo chamber this thread wouldn't even be here

sick burns of endearment

this clusterfuck really isnt deserving of anyone's time

james, i would argue back, but it's basically the whole "Did Rihanna steal #seapunk's aesthetic" argument for a hypothetical Jay Z line that doesn't actually exist anywhere but as a mondegreen on a Noisey liveblog

let's all just bump this and call it a night

not sure rappers have heard of daft punk, might have to touch on a stronger case

"proto culture' by del seems like it was super influential on the low

I'm just going to bump the thread and post this song from last year which was good, moving and got some positive write-ups (shout out to tsj but she's mostly ignored by everyone for some reason) .. anyway, just when you thought she was going to go away forever after the mild initial hype died away (admittedly I lost interest myself), and who could've blamed her with how ugly people of all sorts were being when talking about her, she went and did some gorgeous stuff and confirmed, I guess, that she will keep on creating music because she has things to say and show, and found a real new strength of voice- and I can conclude to myself that my initial interest was not misguided

Vis-a-vis Contenderizer on another thread, this might be in place here too:

Abcfsk, that song is fucking brilliant!

Yep, it's really sweet. Narrowly missed my top 25.

yeah, this is nice. video's weirdly poignant, too, especially cuz we all know why comments are disabled :/

Clue me in... :-/

eighty million misogynist assholes + that video =

Oh, I did not know that. :-(

Actually it's about ethics in hip hop blogging

i think her ability to take something that's normally considered sordid or faintly ridiculous and turn it into pathos is kind of genius.

i feel like the last two years of my career have been basically re-fighting this battle from upthread with contenderizer but on a bigger stage

over which artists?

I had been hoping Kitty Pryde had returned with some of her teenage asmr raps, but apparently she hasn't been musically active since 2014.

apparently she's still working on her album

She has released at least twelve songs since 2014, gotten married to Ricky Eat Acid, started a side project with him, and is finishing her new album

over which artists?

and where can i post about them?

xp: I only checked her wikipedia page.

not about specific artists but just this nonsense notion of millennial authenticity that 'adults' cant possibly understand
