i miss churchcloud and the church of charlatan, it was actually a religion my gay ass could get into

Thank you, I have been lurking mostly lol.

But it's great to be back. Reading the thread backwards was definitely... interesting lmao. The 17th of January was a messy day in this thread.

 

 

Edit: putting post here because I don't want to clog the thread up with my posts.

 

 

But the meme thing is such a good idea - my memes are actually being used by record labels to generate buzz for songs. Bur Charli's flop ass label hasn't even tried that smh.

really? what songs??

 

+ if flop ass atlantic wasn't 'forward-thinking' enough to give Charli's bops the attention they deserve, they'd never be smart enough to come up with the idea for meme marketing  those dusty old raisins probably don't even know what memes are

really? what songs??

Oh no, not mine! But there's a guy who is actually paid to make memes to promote rap songs. And they get really popular and end up with loads of plays on Spotify.

It's weird how memes are now inorganic.

The monopoly companies now have over the Internet is just... wow.

 

The Internet was once regarded as this as a space that kind of decolonised commercialism - it was the true zeitgeist. But the things that were happening with magazines, radio, and TV are happening online too. I am just confused as to why the label is not trying to take advantage of that with Charli.

 

I mean if Camila's team can transform what started out as a flop into a major success, why can't Atlantic? Epic records used noise marketing to its fullest potential. like paying for the 5 star reviews of her album

I'm not sure how I would feel about inorganic Charli memes as a ploy from her label, but I suppose as long as it's not obvious enough that we notice, it doesn't matter anyway. I get that you're talking about commercial memes but conversely, I wouldn't call a bunch of lanaboards stans making Vroom Vroom memes "inorganic", I mean, memes have to come from somewhere, and what's a better place than from dedicated stans?

 

True but that was in it's "wild west" stage and all good things come to an end, it was bound to happen :/. Look at all those big 1mil+ meme pages on instagram that are all part of some weird club, it's not unlike the leakers' circles that are hoarding the Exchange songs. Most people like the feeling of exclusivity and feeling like they're in on something. I guess you could say that's the whole idea of advertisement - trying to get in on the next big thing before anyone else does and capitalizing on it.

 

I feel like the major push behind Camila was that she went solo from a major girl group (biggest girl group in america etc however you wanna see it), and that made a lot of people wonder what would happen next - people were actually checking for her. Plus, given her circumstances, that's a lot of pressure for the label to make sure she doesn't flop. There just isn't that kind of major push behind Charli (but according to the Pop 2 stans, she doesn't need paid reviews as the critics love what she's doing)

 

On top of all that, I'm not sure huge commercial success is where it's at for Charli. I've said this so many times it's becoming platitudinous, but she wasn't happy in the Sucker era and if you trace everything back, her unhappiness began when she broke into the industry with 'I love it' (although that could've gone way worse, look at Bebe Rexha with that rihanna monster song and how much of a sell-out she is now). Commercial success is a hit or miss when it comes to whether or not someone is truly happy with it and if everything doesn't go well, we'll have another Sucker type situation. But who knows, maybe the second time around she'll know how to play the game with what she already knows.

 

I really just want Vroom Vroom to be a meme bop because I'm hoping it'll kickstart something. She's not making waves outside of her immediate reach (her fans and the fans of the people she's collabing with) and she's not producing work (I'm looking at you Pop 2) that showcases everything she can do. When she's given the chance, she can make some really solid, stellar pop, and that's what I miss. 

 

Best case scenario is that it kickstarts the proper era we've been waiting for. That's why these mixtapes don't feel substantial. I don't know about everyone else but I crave a proper era that I can look back on years from now the way I do with Sucker. idk. Maybe it's just because Sucker was my introduction to her music and it carries a lot of nostalgia for my sophomore year of high school and the summer of 2016.

btw does anyone know where I can watch The Candy Shop without having an iTunes subscription or whatever? Not that I care what Billy Floplish has to say but yeah  

[where tf is sticky 1,131]

^ honestly SAME. I'm so grateful for the mixtapes but there isn't something as solid or official about them (obviously, they're mixtapes after all). There's something so wholesome and full about a full length album with visuals and music videos and singles and a physical release.Like the the OG XCX3 with the supposed tracks with the photoshoots/images we were getting around then would have been BEAUTIFUL. I can just imagine the insane music videos that would've been delivered with it all.
