something to be said for the fact that people have enough self-control to write a full thesis on why it’s still ok to listen to misogynistic music but cannot themselves go a single day without streaming the misogynistic music. we uphold the culture of misogyny every time we stream it or add it to a playlist etc even if we don’t agree with the lyrics. like. how is this not clicking. it’s direct support. most likely no one is ever gonna tap dance out from behind a bush and ask you for your nuanced opinion on it, and it wouldn’t even matter if they did if you’ve already given that artist and label uncountable reasons to keep making this kind of music cuz we keep telling them with our purchasing and streaming and editing and trending power that as long as it’s catchy enough for you they can say whatever they want about women

#there are licherally songs abt wanting to murder women like #there has to be more of an effort here #or at least an acknowledgement??#music is so so so influential and it has a chokehold on our culture #and most of what is popular is misogynistic #and female artists involved are probably not in control of their content atp #music needs an audience to be successful. we literally have that power. it could not be easier to do

I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.

It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.

By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.

Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

#anti intellectualism #media #movies #books #music #critical thinking #my friend who primarily listens to one very popular band once said that people who listen to obscure music are annoying and pretentious #which rubbed me the wrong way because 1 she knows that I listen to obscure music and 2 it’s such a cowardly consumerist take. anyone can #make music and hey a lot of the people who do make GOOD music. and this goes for all *obscure* media #this post was mostly inspired by people talking about Barbie and those anti pick me girls like the pick nobody girls who insist thinking is #for boys and having fun with an empty brain is for girls. Greta gerwig is an artist. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I know it has a deeper #message than haha cute pink! I’ve seen the summaries about the true meaning. the pinkness and popularity doesn’t negate the narritive.#though in the notes I saw a lot of tumblristas comunistas shitting on the film for being one big ad that people *fell for* which tbh is #tbh almost as anti-intellectual. don’t get me wrong they milked this film to sell hella shit but I don’t believe kids who play with dolls #are the target audience as these people claim. Barbie is a culturally iconic symbol almost archetypical of societal expectations for women #you say barbie people think unblinking perfect plastic pink girly. reminds me of the poem The Last Mojave Indian Barbie. yeah yeah you all #hate brands but this one carries undeniable significance and makes for a powerful literary device. it’s been used many times before #sorry for writing a tag essay about a film I haven’t even seen but I’m tired of internet people focusing so much on proving others wrong #that they end up oversimplifying everything just as much as the other person. god I saw people doing this to Nimona saying transphobes were #looking too deep into her character and they’re reactionary clowns for making that jump. like for once the transphobes are right. she is #trans. it’s a queer story. and irl the first people who notice queerness are the bigots who can tell you’re different. sick owns telling #them the story’s not that deep is harmful and it’s like they’re ignoring the real message on purpose. okay enough rambling hehe! thanks #barbie #nimona

Sharing my Reverse 1999 Spotify playlists as a treat.

Schneider — The first song is literally sung by her I swear…

Baby Blue — I struggle to put together this once since I’m trying to find a balance between fairy tale-y music and dreampop and mf Melanie Martinez. Spotify magic shuffle do your thing.

Medicine Pocket — A fucked up mix of some mainstream medical malpractice music but then it descends into some obscure hyperpop breakcore bloody transgenderfucked yuri playlist the more i add songs to it oh well. This is more of a personal brainrot playlist but the actually relevant songs go hard so I’m sharing it. Spotify magic shuffle do your thing.

“Why no Kaalaa Baunaa playlist since you’re such a simp—”

Listen, your honor, my so-called ‘Kaalaa Baunaa playlist’ is a 10-hour-long polyrhythm music video on YouTube where the polyrhythm visualizer looks like her planets hope this helps. ( Referring to this! ) Also music by Kenichiro Isoda like Pilocene Beach and Frustation Elimination is very her-core to me. PLEASE LISTEN TO PILOCENE BEACH ESPECIALLY IT CARRIED ME THROUGH DEPRESSION ARC. 💖💖💖

#Spotify #mochagaming #in the medpoc playlist i only listen to the hyperpop shit LOL ☠️#if i play it on shuffle spotify will INSIST i listen to the popular ones #mp3 #i love you underscores - black dresses - femtanyl - changeline - vertigoaway #women make the best music #reverse 1999

Ahhh. Sleep token gets so much hate cause the fandom is full of women and queers (affectionate I am said queer), I get it now.

#very much so #sleep token #when I break containment and see sleep token content on instagram it’s always men who are whiny baby’s #honestly tho it’s the age old ‘women/girls can’t like anything’ they see us enjoying sleep token and they are like ‘you can’t do that #you only like them cause they are popular now’ or ‘they are real metal’ (as if they.. claim to be just metal) or ‘ghost was here and doing #it first’ as if?? sleep token is even as popular as Ghost??#like Ghost has Nine Million (almost 10 mil) monthly listeners. and #and Sleep Token is still climbing their way to 3 mil.#for some reason you can’t see followers on anything except apparently on like the PlayStation app cause that’s where I saw Sleep Token has #only roughly 500k followers on Spotify. idk how many ghost has #on Amazon Music it’s Sleep Token has 11k+ and Ghost has 96k+#like. that’s a good way to judge how popular something is cause there’s not that many people using it it’s definitely the not as popular #service out of the big music streamers.#anyway. I under stand why it’s happening but that doesn’t make it not frustrating tbh #I accidentally called myself a women I meant us as in women and queers.

is it bad that i am bothered by the fact that the mainstream tiktok music slaughterhouse has gotten ahold of Hozier's music. I don't have the clock app but apparently, some people were being like 'oh is it about a younger girl? is he creepy? is he making fun of her for being naive?' no you dumb fucks use your context clues

#this man does nothing but revere women in his music #its literally from eden vibes #its not that hard #go back to analyzing taylor swift lyrics down to the fuckin syllable please #i dont know whats come over me I got a tiktok repost to youtube using too sweet in a pov style thing and got SO irrationally angry #sorry i had a bitch moment but please leave hozier out of the instant gratification monkey's hands where all popular songs are bled dry #until everybody says its a bad song in a desperate attempt to get away from it #hozier #unheard ep #unheard hozier #too sweet hozier

new horsemen of the apocalypse dropped

i love the downfall and degradation of society, this is my roman empire or whatever

#sent this to chelsea last night but had to share it before i delete the cap #because it is too funny #certified iconic fool tweet #what i especially love is that mozart and elvis and the beatles literally revolutionized music as the world knows it #to the point where they still have impact today #so including taylor in their company is a tremendous compliment lol #also please note: what audience originally drove ALL of their popularity #women!!!#so this take is deeply misogynistic underneath #jess.mess

Yoko ono is the literal personification of “God forbid women do anything”

#Yoko ono #Like yeah sure her music really isn’t for people who are just looking for entertainment and don’t really want to be challenged #I’m not the BIGGEST fan of it myself #But I’m sick of people just dismissing her when they clearly haven’t actually listened to any of her songs #Like she isn’t a fantastic vocalist but she’s no worse than Dylan or any of the popular punk singers of the era.#People just want women to sound pretty all the time and I’m sick of it #I can respect someone who stays true to their artistic vision without regard for mainstream success!!!#Even if they’re not my cup of tea #also yes she actually sings!!! She does not just make those dolphin noises everyone makes fun of

usually just ambivalent to whatever t*ylor sw*ft is doing but i'm genuinely flabbergasted that "celebrity released a new album" made it as one of the top 3 news stories on my local evening news right between israel and ukraine. while, mind you, there's currently an entire national affair going on here with multiple of our like 7 parties being involved in a russian espionage scandal and are facing potential legal charges. which has obviously been on the news every day with updates for the past week, except for today, where there were no updates on the foreign spy in custody that was in contact with half our politicians but instead ts and her new album i'm crying

#still no opinion on her music just not for me but i fear that women's popularity is just absolutely absurd by now #why am i hearing evening news about celebrity number 12 dropping new album instead of the nation wide scandal currently going on #kind of funny in it's absurdity honestly

Not listening to her album because I can't bear hearing one song about liking a man 🙏

#seeing that tatooed golden retriever line sent me over an edge this morning 😭#breaking up with a man is the least interesting thing in the entire world to me idc idc idc #her and i have fallen off hard and i don't even care #with the last album it was like well it was bad to me but different phases at different times etc #but the rerecordings have gotten increasingly boring and i don't care about the men like normie straight girls do #and her fandom was already massively lesphobic but she has gotten increasingly comfortable with going oh my god don't say i am a lesbian...#...please god that's the worst thing in the world you could be oh my god stop look at my puppy boyfriend uwu #i don't even give a fuck if she is or not or what any of the songs have ever been about but being a lesbian it's like uh well actually...#... it's really bothersome to hear women upset at the idea of being a lesbian like it's so terrible and freakish #i like being a lesbian more than i want to hear her music now #and the way her popularity being bigger than it ever has been right at the time she's doing the worst things ever has just made a cult of..#...normie girls who are just reveling in her being the face of being straight normie is very off putting #the racist guy and the planes and the being a billionare while making the most soulest music you have ever made...#some of this has been going on all along and i guess i was at a point where i was ignoring it that i have grown out of but it's gotten worse #anyway <3

yeah rest in piss Toby Keith 😎

#there's a lot to be said about toby keith but honestly i don't think the rise of jingoistic bro country is his fault #i think he was a symptom rather than the problem #the problem being larger cultural backlash against feminism and in country music SPECIFICALLY #backlash against the massive and intense success [and crossover appeal] of faith shania and the chicks #plus the success of wome who didn't have major crossover hits but were very popular in the genre and got heavy radio play #like reba martina mcbride leann rimes deana carter or terri clark #that led to a brief moment where country music was FULL OF WOMEN #you could turn on CMT and more than half the top 10 videos of the week were women!#my local country station had people calling to *complain* during the morning show about All Those Darn Girls #y'all remember julie roberts? jolie and the wanted? cyndi thompson? jamie o'neal lila mccann carolyn dawn johnson #all of them had moderate-to-big hits and then the cultural winds shifted and now we have bro country and jason aldean's song about lynching #that said #fuck toby keith
