  • underscores@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I was sharing music with a friend and their reaction upon being shown an artist (not even listening) was "ew less than 100k monthly listens”

    bro? is this your metric for good music ? how many people listen to it on Spotify ?

    if this is how avg ppl see music it explains a lot about top 40 charts

      It’s sadly a very common thing and applies to just about everything. “It’s not popular so it’s automatically bad”, I’m just glad I’m not forced to be around people like that too often.

        My mother in law used to refuse to eat in an empty or nearly empty restaurant. On the logic that if it’s empty it must be bad. Never mind that the reason a restaurant is empty often has more to do with location than quality, or that it’s packed for dinner and empty at lunch or vice versa.

        Oddly enough, I’m on the opposite side. Popularity ruins good things. I’m probably just bitter and cynical though. And that’s also not to say that there aren’t things with massive popularity that are also good.

        this is also why vote manipulation is a thing. people are prejudiced by the appearance of a consensus.

      Funny, cuz lots of the ones who say “ew less than 100k listens” will also say they’re not into pop music. Wondering what they think “pop” is short for lmao

      • bequirtle@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Pop is a genre, and does not necessarily stand for popular music

      I remember getting made fun of in middle school for listening to Nevermind, you know just a landmark in rock music because it was at the time almost 10 years old. Sigh.

    • yabbadabaddon@lemmy.zip ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      You could make an argument that if a song is listened a lot, it means a lot of people find it good and thus is could not be bad. But then again, Suicide Squad was a successful movie if you were to base your judgement on popularity.

    Hence why taylor swift is a billionaire.

    source
    • Canconda@lemmy.ca ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Her father, Scott Swift, was a stockbroker for Merrill Lynch and notably purchased a 3% stake in Big Machine Records, the label that first signed Taylor, contributing to her initial success.

      Like all billionaires she inherited everything.

    What makes an album “female”?

    source
    • Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      When the album identifies as one.

    • GreenShimada@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      This was easier to figure out with CDs

      • chiliedogg@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Yeah, but then they tried going all woke in the late 90s with the CD-RW stuff and data reassignment procedures.

        If she covers her CD case when you talk to her, she’s a female album.

    How do you know an album’s gender?

      Woman albums get paid 20% less.

    Putting Man’s Best Friend and Life of a Showgirl on the same level is slander

    • wavebeam@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yeah! Sabrina is way better than Taylor!

      ~ I don’t actually hold this opinion. I don’t actually give a fuck at all. But I do like them both just fine ~

      source
    • BurntWits@sh.itjust.works ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Which is supposed to be the better album?

      I don’t listen to either artist and don’t care for either of them from what I’ve heard on the radio and at malls so I’m not the best person to judge. I’m curious what your thoughts are though (and what the general consensus is).

      source
      • JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I mean It is just a matter of opinion if course, but I think the common consensus was that this was not Taylor’s greatest work, and Manchild is one of if not Sabrina Carpenter’s biggest song right now

      Aw man, I loved their last album. I never realized they released another. I was listening to The Scholars by Car Seat Headrest for a good portion of last year.

    • Danitos@reddthat.com ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      They are not a female-only band, which I think is the idea behind the post.

    mans best friend in bad invalidates this whole list

  • Diddlydee@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I can safely say I know none of these albums. I’ve enough prior music to deal with first.

    source
  • AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Personally the more popular an artist or band is, the less likely I’ll enjoy their music.

    This is broadly speaking and not universal, there are big exceptions like radiohead, massive attack, aphex twin, BICEP and tool, but for the most part, if something is in the charts, I’m probably going to hate it

    source
  • faythofdragons@slrpnk.net ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It just came out, which probably why it’s not on here, but I really enjoyed The Spinning Wheel by Mediæval Bæbes

    Yes. Bad Bunny have a lot of numbers in spotify BECAUSE it’s the default/background music that plays in every party.
