ega v johnny is my most heartbreaking sputnik rivalry

Agreed

i just wish they could finally admit their love for each other

there's definitely a tinge of mutual respect and a whole host of sexual tension

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

What, we regularly declare a profound and brotherly very manly love for each other.

i mean you can guage sincerity

Album Rating: 1.5

that doens't make any sense, what you just sauyd

critiquing an artist's success in painstakingly telegraphing an impression of authenticity is entirely different to calling them insincere
>“hey YES that is how my experience of the bad thing felt”
yeah this + remainder is v cogent, and i v much get why folks have found this so cathartic. ftr i don't think that trying to engage with something as universal as covid makes it worse or whatever - it just personally turns me on a lot the BB wasted a whole load of concerted (though i wouldn't say condescending - self-congratulatory maybe) smartness on a brief that imo would have been far more compelling + relatable with less palaver and whatever bo burnham considers a good framing device

I learned a new word today: palaver

Thank you jonathan

>It’s an interesting conundrum though in that because I recall feeling profoundly moved or some bollocks when I first saw the thing in a “hey YES that is how my experience of the bad thing felt” kinda way that reading the counter-take of “btw this is lowest common denominator zeitgeist chasing hot air that only dumb dumb self-centred people would find value in” immediately demeaning/putdowny/someothernotnicefeeling even though I get that the criticism is directed at the art and artist rather than those who enjoyed it (also not directing this rambling rant thing at Johnny or fog or anyone specifically as there’s obvs more nuance to what you good people are saying). Idk, I find it’s a weirdly easy piece of work to get emotionally invested in and then difficult to detach yourself from when people are hurling well reasoned and genuinely not at all mean spirited criticisms at it as a piece of music which perhaps is what has led to some of the heat around the debate (like, the feeling is a weird “if you criticise this art and my enjoyment of it then you by extension are not respecting or acknowledging how fucking depressed I got in the whole pandemic thing”, which I know is not what the takes are intending to do, but is a feeling that I occasionally feel seeing the critics do the thing).



Asleep should get an award for that comment.

'how is an impression of authenticity different than being insincere'

do some word thinking and compare the concept of authenticity and sincerity and see if theres a difference

then do some word thinking about what an impression of authenticity would be

then post your findings

thanks

double post woooooops

It's not really important whether a piece of art is actually fully sincere or not, but if it doesn't feel sincere then that's a whole other issue

“Asleep should get an award for that comment”

Who’s in charge of merit badges around here

And if there isn’t one can we appoint them

I think their title should be Palaver

mood
also can we have a little targetted appreciation of the Haruka Nakamura Acoustic remix of Luvsic 2 plz, one of the most cleansing heartthings i ever did hear

oh fuck wrong thread but we move

comment was extremely obviously destined for the Luv(sic) Hexalogy thread and the fact that I can no longer be bothered to delivered it is tbqh the greatest tragedy of our time

Album Rating: 4.0

Where is my trophy I demand recognition and dolla thanks

Johnny there’s only two ts in targeted

'hmu when you learn what an impression is morty'

literally your job seeming as youre the one who is confused
