@nonchalantly_ and that what made that age romantic, for them, was its nostalgia for/recapitulation of greco-roman ideals, particularly of beauty, lyric, and drama.

Homophobia is lowkey a class indicator, once guys get into certain spaces they drop the bigotry immediately

mind you these are all classics in their own right for each artist.

[jatella @jatella]

can’t agree on any of these adj.s when I look at r+b albums released in the late 2000s:

Maxwell’s Blacksummers (2009), Chrisette Michelle’s Epiphany (2009), Tr*y S*ngz’s Ready (2009), The Weekend Trilogy (2012), Miguel’s All I Want is You (2010) and Kaleidoscope Dream (2012).

@jatella @keiyaa_ Replace passé with generic, boring, co-opted or over saturated and I think we’ll all be on the same page lol. Semantics aside I appreciate that y’all are at lease engaging me in good faith.

I also don’t mind clarifying because we only have so many characters to work with.

[jatella @jatella]

@keiyaa_ @blackhippyblevz yeah I agree w/ keiyaa here on correlation-causation. I think there’s a reactionary picture being imagined in the move to alt r+b that doesn’t wash, historically speaking.

r+b didn’t so much become passé as it became postmodern—which of course has its own faults but still.
