 Collabs are usually bad and mostly it's just business, though artists act like they're working together because they're ~*best friends*~ ... Oh please. Especially when one is more popular than the other one, we all know what's up.

Artists are always better on their own, I have never ever listened to a collab thinking "thank god they sang this together". It's never fully one artist or the other, especially when both wrote their own part of the song. Hence, collabs are never "proper songs" to me?! I can't explain it but I just cannot take collabs as seriously as the songs an artist worked on alone. They're fun projects at most, but have never had a deep meaning to/impact on me. Collabs on albums always feel like a disruption of the flow to me.

 

Relating to this, rap parts in pop songs are annyoing most of the time. 

i mostly agree when it's a single song on an album but i do loveee a full-fledged collaborative album that's actually a challenging exercise in creativity - they tend to result in something way more interesting/surprising and genre-defying/blurring

Yeah like Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood. I agree these albums are different! Because it's an entire concept. But single songs, fuck them seriously.

You don’t need a reason to enjoy a specific song or artist 

 

At the end of the day, no one will hear a song with the exact same life experiences you’ve had, the same musical exposure that’s shaped your taste and other personal criteria, etc.

 

Enjoy the art that makes you happy regardless of whether others appreciate it 

 

(That being said, it’s really nice that we can all relate to one mutual interest/appreciation on this site.)

Well said! Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to repeat the experience you have, when hearing a song or album for the very first time.

1. I actually really like when artists make a one-off "sellout" record where they blend their own sound with a more mainstream sound (For example: Lust For Life, CRASH, Laurel Hell, Electra Heart,...) as it changes things up a bit in the artist's discography and creates unique bops most of the time. I just hate when they sell out and then never come back to the sound they had before

2. Production is 95% of the time more important than lyrics to me

3. Most alternative music these days is just pop music imo (Rina Sawayama, Grimes, The 1975, Marina, etc.). I'll always remember how Dua Lipa was considered alternative at first before she released New Rules and now these songs (Which ended up on her first album) are now considered 100% pop

Marina has always been pretty poppy to me-she has some pop rock/new wave moments scattered around though.

 

Rina is just any throwback music from the mid 90s to mid 2000s. 
 

Grimes does truly have some experimental moments but is poppier lately.

 

The 1975 started as new wave/synth pop and are mostly pop/pop rock now.

 

never understood the alt pop claims with Dua-management definitely tried to market her this way but be the one has no alt elements-it’s pure pop hence why they scrapped this image.

[evalionisameme 13,889]

Not a Selena fan but this was genuinely a decent alt pop song in the decade of pop stars copying Lana.

folklore-evermore are not even close to be taylor's best albums and i'm so happy she changed a direction with midnights in a very best way

in the zone is better than blackout

brave new girl is one of britney's best songs ever

people are SO misogynistic and ageist to female artists over the age of 30 and it's absolutely uncalled for (madonna in particular)

rina sawayama is one of the best artists of the current moment and people need to pay her more attention

k-pop / j-pop / c-pop is unfairly shit on and i don't really understand because it's just western pop in a different language

blackout is definitely a fantastic album and understandably considered one of britney's best (as well as one of the best pop albums of all time) but i honestly can't seem to choose between blackout and in the zone, they're both so good, but also very different vibes

 

i also like brave new girl! it's so fun!

Nevermind isn't even in my top ten albums from 1991.

“I actually don’t like Beyoncé, don’t kill me!” no one gives a fuck anymore!! her peak beyhive era was like in the mid-2010s. You’re not special for disliking famous artists and people outside of twitter for sure don’t care either. Still seeing comments like this on Reddit like bffr

obviously people are allowed to dislike her music, but when will people realize that it's not as subversive, edgy, & different as they think it is?
