Oh my god, I clicked for fun but this is sad. This is new level of downhill.
|
| |
not really
edit: nothing like having half of your album being samples of existing flips tracks yea
|
| |
Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz
|
| |
not really
|
| |
but really
|
| |
song is a mess, and not in a good way
|
| |
This album is straight up bizarre im scared right now only half way through
|
| |
wow guess I'll have to check this
song is beyond stupid but I'm intrigued
|
| |
this was probably the worst choice for a single tbh, 1 Sun or Tiger Dreams would've been better
album is 90 minutes goddamn
|
| |
video seems like bad fetish porn (at least, my idea of how it would be)
|
| |
wow guess I won't have to check this
I'm intrigued but not that intrigued
|
| |
what fetish are you talking about
what
|
| |
I didn't think things could get any worse for her. I was wrong apparently. This is a horrible mess
|
| |
this is so good
|
| |
People are quick to write this off because it doesn't have the same intrigue, or underground appeal as they would perceive a similar song by a far more obscure band to supposedly have. Regardless, I reckon this is kinda cool - despite being pretty juvenile. At some point or another people have got to stop reducing Miley Cyrus' music to an attempt to shake her Disney persona - she's experimenting with different sounds and, at the very least, I reckon that's pretty commendable.

@Mr Matt767
What the heck are you even trying to prove?
|
| |
spot on MrMatt
|
| |
just on time for the Sputnik Quotes lists.
|
| |
Matt shut up, this is just bad.
|
| |
You could prolly just mute it and it'd be good for a wank or two.
|
| |
because you'd definitely knock one out to this when there's a whole internet of other stuff out there, and much better Miley videos if you want to stay in that area
|
| |
What the heck are you even trying to prove?
that people are pre-judging this album based on her old disney persona? it's an interesting point worth discussing, and you just proved that with your "just on time for the Sputnik Quotes lists." comment as if what he said was outlandish in any way
|
| |
Tbh. The production on this has some interesting moments. But the vocals and the godawful lyrics (also the last minute of the song in general is just a mess) are just dragging it down from semi-intriguing to pretty much terrible.
|
| |
Also this video is just disgusting.
|
| |
@Keyblade
I don't prejudge based on her Disney persona. I just express my disgust for what people believe music and show is nowadays. Bias aside, this is offensive to my aesthitics. Not art, not something with a message, just muzak with a sexual cherry on top. Stop trying to appear (not you personally, you get me) as open minded as one can be. Such open-minded-ness can be proven to be lack of critical thinking. Do I like it? No. Would I like it even if I didn't know her past? No. Do I appreciate it even if I don't like it? Definitely no. End of story.
|
| |
@Myth
I don't understand, can you not comprehend what I wrote, or...? It's quite clear the point I'm trying to make, if its difficult for you to understand I can elaborate further?
@Chug
Juvenile response. Perhaps you'd be better off commenting in the YouTube comments section instead?
|
| |
This bitch is batshit.
|
| |
"I just express my disgust for what people believe music and show is now and days"
Yeah, because back in the good Ol days of mainstream music there was always 100% integrity and no music scene ever had its entire image or sound based off aesthetics or gimmicks. Never. Never ever in a million years.
|
| |
@Myth I actually think I do need to elaborate further, you don't seem to have grasped my point, thats unfortunate.
|
| |
I understand you think people judge because it's her. If it was someone else they liked they wouldn't be so critical. Also, from what I got, is that you think it's okay she's doing what she does, because it's ''experimenting''. As far as I'm concerned, I don't think this is either experimenting or bad, ''just because it's Miley Cyrus''.
@Clover Yeah, not the best argument I could think of, but this level of ''nope'' I don't think we'd reached before the last ten years.
|
| |
haha classic sputnik hating on this
|
| |
I can understand if you dislike the song, and Matt assuming your hate stems from her being weird to kill her Disney persona is baseless. But this is pretty tame compared to some music released in the past few years. Is the video disgusting? Yeah, a lot, but remove the video and all you have is an uninteresting track (or a good track, depending on what you think) and nothing worthy of anything else.
|
| |
this is terrible
|
| |
@CL0VER
Fact is, I don't hate her. Why would I? I pitty her, and I gather that's worse. Of course, you're right, bad songs always have been and always will be. In my country there's too much muzak the laste twenty or so years that I know there are many levels of low. However, the presentation this one comes with is what makes it utterly abominable.
|
| |
Obnoxious.
|
| |
thanks
|
| |
I'm curious as to why you think this is "utterly abominable" because this honestly just feels like a weak track for me.
|
| |
I was referring to the song, not your comment, if that was where that thanks was directed at.
|
| |
Maybe I'm having a bad day, maybe we have different tastes, maybe I'm just an obnoxious elitist. Anyhow, I would just be happy if this didn't exist.
@DrDoom
Oh, okay. I don't mind anyway
|
| |
Attempt at creating buzz n°124
|
| |
Let me make this clear, I never asserted that myth's hate stems from her previous persona, in fact, I based the majority of my original comment on Youtube responses, in which people EXPLICITLY said her hyper-sexuality was merely her attempting to shake her disney image.
@Myth
Man, please stop with the hyperbole, it just detracts from your argument. Few things about music are objective. One, I could say is nearly objective though, is that this is NOT musak - seriously. Again, "utterly abominable", spare us. And let's be honest, you don't pity her, nor should you even reasonably find yourself in a position where you pity a successful pop singer simply because you deem her behaviour to be offensive to your stringently conservative conscience.
I probably failed to make this explicit in my original post, but the point I was making is that Cyrus' experimentation is very good, for a few reasons. The foremost is that it is quite refreshing to see someone in her position of musical power/stardom do something that is so upsetting to traditional, and what have become rather mundane, pop sensibilities. I made the point that her attempt was juvenile, but that's not really so bad. I, for one, love the fact that Miley Cyrus is so unabashedly sexual (I hope that doesn't come across as perverted haha). The ability she has to make audiences squirm in their seats - you included - is akin to other radical musical movements over the last century or so (think disapproving moms during the punk wave, think of their reductionist arguments that are remarkably akin to yours).
|
| |
thats nice and all, but this song is pretty boring. should've released another track as a single instead.
|
| |
Don't get me wrong, it's definitely boring for you and I. Hopefully though, for her audience, this is quite radical - both video and song.
|
| |
This is close to being a really cool song but it's too much of a mess.
|
| |
^ pretty much, some of the songs on the rest of the album are pretty good. But ultimately, she has to many good ideas she fucks up because it's all so unfocused.
|
| |
album is p rad so far. didnt like this one tho
space boots is ~~~
|
| |
I literally going to puke. She is off key the entire song, surprised it got past her execs.
|
| |
"just in time for the Sput Quotes Lists"
as the guy running the new sput quotes list, there's no way this would make it
"I just express my disgust for what people believe music and show is nowadays"
Now THIS, on the other hand...
|
| |
Man she did that work with joan jett and laura jane grace, why can't she make music along those lines. I know she's capable of better things like damn
|
| |
she should just incorporate a dildo already and this video would be hot and a hit!
|
| |
I like that she's basically pulling pop music down from the inside out by making people realize that it's a circus and not about music but about parties and theatrics, which is cool. Even if that's not actually what she's doing, ima just pretend anyway. Will watch this trainwreck later tho.
|
| |
@MrMatt
This is going to be the last comment I'll write on this thread, as I think you jump into conclusions more easily than a kangaroo can jump at all.
First. Yeah, this is not muzak. This is something coming from her heart. Yeah, of course, she's not into the money, she does what she wants, not following 'orders' from producers and whatnot. Originality, passion and artistic anxiety.
She's so artistic and puts value in her music, she doesn't do anything just to draw attention.
Second. The right thing you could have said (and I realize it just now, after a nap I took)is that I'm not in position to pity anyone, as pittyness means I'm superior to her and I think that I'm not superior to anyone. I could have said that I don't like her to do such things that, in the end, offend herself and only objectify and sexualize her image. But ney, you claim I cannot judge because she's famous. Yep, right, cos once a person is known by many people and makes money from that, they no longer can cause negative emotions to others. They are pitch perfect and money equals no problems.
Third. Comparing this video and her career as a liberatic act that tries to offend the norms of society and conservatives (like me, as you said), the same way Punk did. Well, I could claim I'm not conservative (maybe even less than you are) but that's not the point, is it? The point is that, while Punk had a true message to send, this video alone can only say ''Yeah, I like cum stains all over my face. Take that society!'' Sexism and objectification of a woman at its finest.
Fourth. Because this video is refreshing. Yes. No other pop singer nowadays uses sexuality as a mean to become famous and draw attention.
I've said what I had to say. Now, you can speak well for her and yourself and think you are open minded and I'm not, and honestly, this is only an internet fight so
a. who cares?
b. I don't give a damn.
|
| |
LOL The guy from the Flaming Lips wrote most of the songs on the album.
Fripp will love it lol
|
| |
Is this that collaboration with Flaming Lips?
|
| |
The canceled Flaming Lips colab was with Kesha not Miley
|
| |
but yea this is a collab w flips too
|
| |
Well it's not completely awful but it is completely uninteresting and forgettable.
|
| |
Consider me disturbed.
|
| |
Boner confusion doesn't even begin to describe this video LOL
|
| |
I thought this said "Miley and Dead Prez" at first.
|
| |
This is awful, stupid, and a mess, what's so unbelievable about it, MrMatt?
Thread is beyond stupid
|
| |
here's your reply
|
| |
hayea i smoke weed bro, u?
|
| |
This is like the Lulu of pop music
|
| |
I love peace. That's what she went with.
|
| |
shaping up to be the techdeath release of the year 11/10
|
| |
she's trash don't know about her music
|
| |
she's a nice gal but her music sucks
|
| |
she's racist and says she's a feminist but the only movement she supports is the one where she can walk around with her boobs out and makes light of police brutality so
|
| |
How is she racist? Did she say something racist? I didn't know :0
Well the boobs thing is actually one issue I feel we need to work on so I'm not bothered by that; there are other issues yeah but I don't see that as a bad thing
|
| |
video is horrendous but im only kinda indifferent to the song
|
| |
i support that movement too but i mean if you're gonna call yourself a feminist you should call attention to movements that actually have more significance in equality. pretty sure she's like the textbook example of a white feminist.
and about the racism she wore dreads to the vmas which is pretty offensive if you're white. nicki minaj called out award shows for systematic racism (macklemore winning instead of kendrick, videos with conventionally attractive thin white women with black women being used as props) and all miley had to say about it was she was being rude
|
| |
^ That's exactly what feminists do.
|
| |
How are dreadlocks racist tho
As for the Nicki thing: Nicki actually criticized the fact that she wasn't nominated/she didn't win, and blamed it on racism (?), Miley is actually right on that point
|
| |
Nicki said that her video for "Anaconda" was revolutionary but it didn't win because of racism
|
| |
dreadlocks are racist on white people. it's actually called cultural appropriation, basically white people start wearing something culturally important or sacred to a certain ethnicity and it's considered really cute and trendy when the ethnicity in question has been mocked for it for centuries
|
| |
and i can't say anything about racism it's just that a lot of people today mistake sexuality in music and self confidence / taking control of your sexuality as being dumb
|
| |
can we just talk about how great the album is
|
| |
I know what cultural appropriation is. How is it racist? Is Miley 'mocking' dreadlocks?
And how was she racist towards Nicki?
EDIT: Sorry Yak album sucks >:^)
|
| |
miley's taking a hairstyle that's been around for centuries and is very important to certain communities and wearing it to be trendy / shock factor
|
| |
can we just talk about how great the album is
|
| |
double posty
edit: triple post lmao
|
| |
It's been around for millenniums, and again I know that, how is it being racist tho? And how is she doing it for shock factor? It's a hairstyle
|
| |
Well what pisses me off about white people wearing dreads is that they can wear black hairstyles, listen to black music, and be all hip but still they will always benefit from being white. They can just shave that shit off and that’s the end of the story
|
| |
How is it racist tho? And what does that have to do with anything?
|
| |
tbh the album so far isn't the worst thing on earth. But yeah, video is nope
|
| |
Video is ok imo, not great but decent. It goes well with the aesthetic Miley was going for too
|
| |
okay maybe i just meant cultural appropriation.
|
| |
Yeah it's definitely cultural appropriation
I don't see it as an inherently bad thing though
|
| |
i mean it's not your culture. it's not mine either but it still really annoys me and i have a lot of close friends who it really upsets. it's one of those things that most people don't see and when they do they're like it's just hair. and i've been there too i just had someone explain it to me and it kinda clicked
|
| |
It is my culture tho
Honestly, out of all the problems with racism and xenophobia, 'cultural appropriation' is one of the least relevant issues ever
|
| |
Is this for real? Dreads have been a hairstyle in many different cultures throughout the world for centuries, for example the Celts. Dreads aren't specific to one culture.
I think cultural appropriation is a very big issue that needs addressing but this is not an issue. The world is not America, other countries exist you know.
|
| |
OK just listened and why did they alter her voice to make it sound like she was tone-deaf the entire time? She can sing, yet they changed her voice to sound like she wasn't hitting the correct note and it sounds really awful as a result. Song was lolawful, vid was wtfawful
|
| |
Yeah let's have a reminder that pretty much none of the music we listen to on this site would exist if it weren't for cultural appropriation
other than classical o/c
|
| |
Classical isn't American either, much less from current America
|
| |
The song is awefull, but the video is even worse
|
| |
can we just talk about how great the album is
|
| |
Ok: it's about 1.5/5 great
|
| |
how great the album is, can we just talk about it
|
| |
where is phil
|
| |
[2] yeah p. much
|
| |
i fuck with the beat but
yeah i smoke pot
|
| |
wait hold on I reached the end whats going on
alright, I'm intrigued. just a bit
|
| |
lol
|
| |
"Classical isn't American either, much less from current America"
Yeah that's what I'm saying. Classical music is one of the few genres of western music that didn't come out of some kind of appropriation of black music. Jazz is black music. Rock is black music. Most electronic genres have their roots in black music. And yet nowadays these genres are performed mainly by white people.
If you have a problem with Miley wearing dreads, then you should by extension have a problem with the above as well.
|
| |
to clarify, what I'm saying is that cultural appropriation is something that's been happening for a long time and it's resulted in a great deal of innovation, in art and otherwise. as long as you're respecting the culture that you're taking the appropriated elements from, there's really no problem with it.
Miley wearing dreads is a non-issue.
|
| |
I repeat: Honestly, out of all the problems with racism and xenophobia, 'cultural appropriation' is one of the least relevant issues ever
|
| |
very solid 1/5
|
| |
Personally as a white dude, I think dreads are really gross looking on white people, our hair just doesn't have the texture for it. That said I do believe there are more pressing issues than cultural appropriation, just sucks that ethnic minorities are made fun of for their style, cause it's theirs and they rock it
|
| |
Making fun of other people for their cultural aesthetic is disgusting, childish and dumb af agreed
|
| |
agreed [2]
|
| |
It smells like Tumblr in here.
|
| |
It smells like Tumblr in here. [2]
|
| |
If you disagree with something, you are free to explain yourself :^)
|
| |
because wanting to have meaningful discussions about culture and discrimination is totally worthy of mockery yeah
|
| |
@Myth
Sexual liberalism is inherently progressive, contrary sexual-social POVs are inherently conservative, it's that simple, you're conservative. Few things I suggest; look up what musak means, don't strawman my arguments - I never once suggested you can't judge someone because they're famous - and finally, don't equate sexuality with objectification. It's foolish to think that Cyrus does what she does to a) become more famous or; b) please producers. If you think stuff like this sells over churning out generic, safe and sexually conservative pop music then you need to rethink. The music video is NOT on par with other sexually promiscuous music vids. Cyrus isn't trying to be appealing, if anything the video is intentionally revolting - that's what's so great about it, she doesn't give a fuck. Cyrus can do what she pleases with her image, if you think that is some form of self-objectification (it certainly isn't objectification on her labels' part) then I'd like to hear you even attempt to justify that.
Your claim that punk music has a message and this doesn't is the same as musical conservatives of generations before, belittling the punk message as retrograde. In this instance open mindedness is synonymous with progressiveness and you're attempts to disregard it only speaks volumes about your conservativeness.
|
| |
I agree but my did that sound pretentious.
|
| |
my did that sound pretentious [2]
|
| |
All users with an "M" in their username suck and are to be ignored
|
| |
I think we can all agree there
|
| |
same
|
| |
This album is strange as fuck yet makes a 3 for me.
|
| |
All this Miley drama/hate is just putting her back in the spotlight. She likes it there.
|
| |
lolllllll
>this is the future of music
|
| |
She's bold, and I like that. She's a music artist who sticks to her guns, even if she isn't the best at what she does.
|
| |
soz for sounding pretentious, I take it you all agree though?
|
| |
Nope
|
| |
regardless of all the praise she getting for trying something different this song is absolute shit.
|
| |
I like that she's trying new stuff... If she's going to play shit at least it has to be original shit, however this video literally made me wanna puke
|
| |
I'm pro uncensored radio. I pray this song never sees the light of day. This is god awful. No artistic value, no message, nothing. She's just shouting at a camera covered in differed foods/liquids. Good lord. If someone on here says she's being "satirical" I will seriously question their sanity. There is no message to be heard. This is probably one of the worst songs I've heard in my entire life.
|
| |
"Good lord. If someone on here says she's being "satirical" I will seriously question their sanity"
who's ever said that
|
| |
To any defenders of this song: read the lyrics. Not with the music, just the lyrics alone.
|
| |
who even cares about lyrics
|
| |
I just read the lyrics; what about them
|
| |
i'm assuming there's no artistic value™ or message™
|
| |
lol p much (although there is actually a message, and it's grreat tho)
|
| |
It's kinda charming, but it could be done a lot better
|
| |
No dw, I already gathered you don't agree Asdfp:
"All users with an "M" in their username suck and are to be ignored"
nice 1 big fella
Instead of being butthurt though, why don't you tell me why?
|
| |
No dw, I already gathered you don't agree Asdfp:

lmao
|
| |
Oh dear, how embarrassing
|
| |
but its amazing you just dont see the artistic value fam
|
| |
There is a rich artistic value in this but Miley didn't exploit it, and for that, I am so very disappointed
|
| |
think last.fm will care if i jam this for endless days straight before its formal release?
kk cool
|
| |
...ew. In more ways than one.
Definitely not my thing. And the video... ugh.
|
| |
It has taken me about half an hour to think of a comment to put here, and this comment will be:
Why ?
|
| |
why not?
|
| |
she can afford it so why not
|
| |
Well, that was something.
|
| |
I dug it *shrugs*
|
| |
This video physically disgusts me.
|
| |
Yeah I had the same reaction but it don't mean the video's bad
|
| |
this video just makes me want to vomit, it is legitimately disgusting to watch jesus
|
| |
don't mean the video's bad [2] i mean most PE makes me want to vomit too but it's cool >:]
|
| |
No I am not but I recognize its coolness!!
I've been checking out your list of PE and I'm liking most of what's there but I want something, I dunno', more unusual >:]
|
| |
I mean yeah it's racist and sexist and misogynistic and violent but I can understand that artists can make art with themes that they don't necessarily approve of so yeah
|
| |
Ugh, well at least I'm pretty confident in my beliefs so I'm not fazed lol
|
| |
Inb4 Nicki Minaj asks her "What's good?"
|
| |
experimental or not, this is fucking dismal
|
| |
We get it Miley.... you swallow and do facials.
|
| |
Weird fucking thread idk why I just read through it
|
| |
@Judio! well, that's a weird f***g video clip.
@KevinKC "Why ?"
@Frippertronics "why not?" Do you need an answer to this ?
@Asdfp277 "she can afford it so why not" Do you need an answer to this ?
|
| |
Do whatever you wanna do my man, nobody cares really
|
| |
I don't know how I feel abut Miley anymore, I fluctuate between slight disgust and weird respect, I don't know.
|
| |
Gotta say this song and video are shit though
|
| |
