I made it all the way to "Goo Dole Days" (even through that handshake) and turned it off.

I suppose it was inevitable that the "sharing economy" propagandic bullshit would make its way, however loosely, into song concepts. can't find a real job, ladies? don't worry, you can spend your time cheerily sexting your boyfriend, who has retconned "Bo$$"

danish media up it's own ass wrt lukas graham's inexplicable success in the US adds harm to injury, the worst music is sometimes the worst music that's really really popular
― niels, Wednesday, 9 March 2016 19:32 (eight years ago) link
The Lukas Graham song isn't so much awful as completely forgettable - it's scrubbed itself from my brain since last night and I have no need to ever hear it again.
The Madeintyo track makes me go "is this as terrible as I think, or am I just aging and out of touch?" I mean, I'm sure what I consider gold standard hip-hop - Nas, Rakim, Kool Keith, etc. - sounds like grandpa music to today's teens...

Madeintyo track sounds like the second-tier third-wave ska-punk of rap, but I bet he can ride out that skoo skoo thing for a couple more songs.

amusing that she has such a damaged public image that it's gotten smarter for her to ventriloquize through a bunch of better dancers (who are totally coincidentally PoC i'm sure) and not show up in her own video. call it the "sorry" maneuver.

i mean yeah it's more that she's essentially acting as a jargon-spewing colonizer in a time when women who came up in r&b can't even get traction in their own format, let alone pop

The horn bit isn't offensive. The rest, though...

So... Lukas and the Grahams are stars now? Should we be proud of them? I've always thought of them as "dweebs" rather than "rotters", but it's quite an odd success story. UK number 1, U.S. #3 but U.S. sales #1... That disparity is easily explained, as "7 Years" has the kind of wise wise message that demands to be downloaded or vinyled. AND it's got an original sound not heard since Daniel Powter's "Bad Day". (Not sure where they ripped off the piano line from... Something wise anyway.)
"Work from Home" is appalling shite, and therefore very thread-appropriate. That cheery denialism that Katherine talks about is pretty depressing, at least when heard in isolation. Apparently Fifth Harmony were a lot more conscious of gender relations (or less naive) on their previous album?
Iggy Azalea's "Team" - well, it's encouraging that there was clearly no ghostwriter involved, but printing all the lyrics in the video not a good idea on this song. The backing track and the dancing are great – maybe the vid should've just been those. The rest isn't even as good as the Funny Girls comedy rapping that Iggy both inspired and tried to emulate.
It was posted a while ago, but Say Anything seems like a very interesting artist. He raises big questions, like "How can the guy stand to listen to his own voice, let alone record an entire album?" A fine achievement. Further research could be carried out, but it's not advisable for anybody.
The Uber song, uh, let's just say I don't get any of it, including the title. Is it worth explaining?
Really can't be bothered worrying about yet another pathetic "Large Penis" song. It's even listed as a genre on Apple Music nowadays.

wasn't there another russian song bragging about big dick a few years ago? google is unsurprisingly turning up other things so i'll probably never find it again. i don't remember it being as bad as the one upthread.

I am so used to the fact that when i go into a shop some barbarous pointed garbage will pierce my soul and immediately start draining out the serenity and serotonin which thankfully is restored by trees, canal and sky relatively quickly, that i was unprepared for todays horrendous attack, the sound of a man being sick on my shoes while a dizzying putrid seasick smell starts to make the head wooze with distress, who would do this and why would it be in a public place? 'fuck you you fuck me over' the voice said, it said it many times, as the runny sick pooled all over the floor. Not for me, Clive, absolute garbage in any place
