fascinating how much xenophobia and bigotry is seeping through this discourse… and, as always, how much of that xenophobia is fueled by ignorance and stupidity that they are either blithely unaware of or purposefully perpetuating
@Emol____ honestly, I’d recommended dream/alt pop of the era, like everything but the girl and stereolab. but also a lot of shibuya kei has convergent influences, like pizzicato five! and there’s the 2010s alt pop that was inspired by this era, like camera obscura!

@krystalbaIIad it has to be a microcosm beef one toxic stan to another because the consensus has always been loona, gwsn, and fromis_9 as the big 3 of good music and supporting women and also gay rights
orbits shaped modern stan culture. part of the scene and respected by major international artpop artists (including pre-disgrace grimes). gay icons. shut down kcon. unconventional debut and elevated lore in an unprecedented way.
major companies are still digging into their purse
Idec maybe i am a toxic orbit... I truly think loona are the most influential 4th gen girl group and that's why yall still have shit to say about them to this day 🤷
"My deepest gratitude goes to all the readers who have valued *The Summer Hikaru Died* and engaged with it so sincerely. There are no monsters in this world—yet, for those who nonetheless feel like monsters themselves, I offer my blessings."
Oh my Godddddddd
i know that “best new artist” is controversial bc it doesn’t mean the artist is new but is instead new to the recording academy… but all of that aside, it is so inspiring to me to see an artist get that recognition at 43… there’s always enough time !!!
