I’m not against debates, but the obsession with “winning” killed the listening.
Let the music live a little. Let it breathe. Everything ain’t a war. Sometimes a song just… hits. & that’s enough.
Everything is a debate. Everything is about first week numbers. Streams. Algorithms. “This didn’t age well.” “He cooked you.” “She flopped.”
Do y’all even enjoy music without comparing it?

“That was one of your worst takes I've heard in a long time. That was horrible... I think we really need to do a better job of reframing some of these conversations.”
