@DisgracedProp The only notable contributions NYC has had to pop culture in like 10 years were ice spice rapping about farts and a dorky communist mayor. They really needed that win.
@centristpeater Its got a lot to do with algorhythmic socialmedia making it difficult to develop a monoculture. Everyone is fed their own niche of content exactly tailored to them. All of the current "superstars" (any genre) are at least 33 plus and blew up before algos became so sensitive.
@JXMcKean @Pwnidus @laquiquibufwiwi@AmericanCrime01 Yes because victims could go to the cops without fear of being arrested, and taxation/ higher scruitaby would discourage bad actors to begin with.
@MDebergi@Steve_Sailer What? Thats why it offically takes 1,500 streams to qualify as 1 "sale". He is one of the top charting artists of recent and selling out global tours. Somebody is listening
@HighDefViking@9mmsmg@HighDefViking im not a liberal lmao. Im just not afraid of living in the places where the majority of economic and cultural activity takes place.
@MS66546755@Goldstein_14@Empty_America@hyperlambda Maybe on paper, yes. But when your 18-25 money doesnt matter as much in dating, its more pure. you have a better chance at finding a girl who loves you for your soul when your younger.
@horacesvilla@ScottMGreer@grok Or maybe she (a pop artist, not hiphop) hasnt been 20 something in 20 years and needed a gimmick to stay relevant? How can a scene of music be dead if there are enough people listening and supporting to make billions annually in streaming revenue?
@horacesvilla@ScottMGreer@grok I live in reality and if country and hip hop make up multi billion dollar industries they are far from dead. Artistry is subjective, and the artsier/ more authentic stuff for either genre is going to be more underground (still generating a lot of revenue though)
@ThiefPenitent@paultiseo@DrNeilStone Yep, I remember when they were banning people on facebook for criticizing the jab in the slightest. All while pushing the bat soup theory as fact. Nothing says scientific method like authoritarian censorship and completely fabricated propaganda π€·ββοΈ
@paultiseo@ThiefPenitent@DrNeilStone It was around for decades and never passed safety tests then suddenly they figuered it out perfectly in like 3 months. Lol the official covid narrative is actually the stupidest, most psuedo scientific bullshit I have ever heard in my life.
@paultiseo@ThiefPenitent@DrNeilStone Whenevr I point out to you zealots that "the experts" lied about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine I always get something like well it helps reduce deaths somewhat". Yeah no shit deaths started slowly reducing a year and a half after 2020, the virus mutated weaker.
