Billboard Woman of the Year

I know people are saying Olivia Rodrigo is woman of the year based on a photo overlapped with the one on billboard’s website. However, the silhouette looks EXACTLY like Gabby Barrett’s photo on their website just with the border and image flipped. The border is exactly the same. Either they are trying to throw people off track or could it possibly be Gabby even though she already won the rising star award??

Does anyone have any song recommendations for me? I'm having trouble finding new music... I really want songs that SLAP. For example like Psycho -Dixie, Fuck up the friendship- Leah Kate, Psycho - Maisie Peters, Narcissist - baby Queen

Kanye West’s solo career officially began with the release of the single “Through the Wire” on September 30th, 2003.

The sitcom Frasier, starring Kelsey Grammar as the titular character, reprising the role originated on Cheers, reached its end on May 13th of the next year after eleven seasons.

This means that for about eight months, Frasier and Kanye West were both active in culture. Historians will mark this era as the high point of civilization, for obvious reasons.

Just dropped my last class to pass my year level, and I am less stressed. It's one class but goddamn I think of it every single night. Now I am so carefree and doing nothing, move forward, and continue being less academic before I go back to college next year.

I just want the motherfucking Zola movie. I’m tired of waiting. I need to get lost in the sauce / game. I need to vibe over the hoeism.

Ok so this post completely blew me away. It is so in depth and so comprehensive and I was thinking doing something similar for a popheads friendly genre would be really cool, especially as I’ll have a lot of time over the summer months.

With that in mind, I think Art Pop would be a really cool genre to explore because it’s not too huge to follow and doesn’t start too far back (the genre basically forming in the 80s with Kate Bush). If anyone wants to help me make a super comprehensive art pop post I think that would be awesome. I want it to be well researched and I probably can’t do it all my own so help (even as small as recommending classic or modern art pop albums) would be awesome

Jojo Siwa's earlier songs (e.g. boomerang, kid in a candy store) are much better than her later releases...

Also yesterday got my first vaccine dose yesterday and it was a hot day so I wore a crop top and bell bottoms for maximum comfort.

As I was on the bus home, three teens got on (two boys and a girl) and were just like staring at me and laughing but I had my AirPods in so I couldn’t hear what they were saying. As I’m getting ready to get off the bus and the doors open, I step off and one of them screamed out the F-slur like right as the doors closed.

Now I’m obviously (unfortunately) used to it at this point as a guy who wears women’s clothes often, but what really bothered me was that they waited until I was not in a position to say anything back (and trust me I could’ve said A LOT the way they were looking).

Like literally who in the world cares that anyone is gay anymore? Glad to know I had their attention the entire time tho. My power is being THAT bitch!

[–]KaiBishop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom exclusively watches shows full of old British folk. Like the episode of Family Guy where Stewie is obsessed with all those Downton Abbey ripoffs and Brian can't tell them apart, and Stewie describes the genre as "An old-timey British family dealing with very slight change." It's THAT. That's my mom's favourite genre of tv: old-timey British people dealing with very slight change.

Taylor will receive her Nobel Prize for Literature award or even Pulitzer/Peabody award in the future. She needs more consistent album body of work. Don't You, song from The Vault from Fearless, sounds so timely and a cut-out from 1989/Lover.

[–]oath2order 8 points9 points  (1 child)

For what, her songs?

[–]suburbianthief 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh lord. I don't know why I'm getting downvoted. Should have said "Hopefully, Taylor Swift receives..." instead of "Will". But yeah, for her songs. Bob Dylan got his, and if she ever gets one; it won't be surprising.

All my mutuals on twitter were talking about how great duplicity is. So I read it. It is just as bad as after honestly. I enjoyed the occasional feminism, and wattpad comments are surprisingly woke, but it also romanticizes a toxic relationship. The duplicity fandom (yes they have become a separate fandom too) is way too obsessed. They get tattoos, and start smoking because of it... It's almost as bad as the y&b craze (except that was larry, and larries actually thought, harry made a mv about it). Also the writing is kinda cringe, it uses big words to sound cool.

If anyone wants to read a GOOD wattpad book, I rec, 'fraternization with the enemy', 'hotline', and 'before my shift ends'. None of them are fanfic though. Good fanfic is all on ao3, and in my opinion the best one is 'you didn't have a happy childhood', but it's about bade from victorious.

[–]KaiBishop 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I normally hate self-promotion but if y'all really do wanna read a good book on Watpadd my gay fantasy Shadows of Ourselves is on there and a lot of people seem to like it 😩😳 (https://www.wattpad.com/story/122418512-shadows-of-ourselves-m-m-complete)

It's messy and problematic and I have a new better edited version of it sitting on my computer that I should get around to publishing that but I'm the meantime this version is out there and is probably my creation I'm most proud of. Like I've written a lot of books but this is my personal favourite one because it's the most me and it is very bleak and gay and emo and witchy.

Also fuck wattpad tho it's fully responsible for me forming a weird kidnapping kink as an impressionable teenager and now I'll never feel satisfied with a man unless he kidnaps me and locks me in a haunted castle until I develop Stockholm syndrome and I hate that about myself so 💀

[–]who-am-i-anyway-ewMadison Beer flair please!!!!! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow, that's a lot of votes... I'll read it!!!

[–]jaztinax 9 points10 points  (2 children)

super late to this but i just got around to watching billie and finneas’ interview with howard stern and they got into her love life. finneas was asked if he expresses concerns or disapproves of her relationships and he was like “MULTIPLE TIMES”, so then he asked billie if she ever listened to him when he was concerned and she without any hesitation said “no”. howard stern also asked her about older guys and she admitted that she had been dating guys too old for her and she “knows that now”. so i guess that’s why they let so much (using “so much” lightly here) of her relationship get featured in her doc bc she knows now it was wrong. although it does reflect badly on finneas and her parents to not show clear disapproval of it in the doc itself.

anyway, this at least confirms that her family has tried to talk her out of past relationships, but billie also made it clear that she will go after what she wants regardless of what people say and she also is attracted to people that are wrong for her. guess that kinda debunks people who were adamant that her family didn’t care and strengthened the argument that she’s a stubborn teenager who doesn’t listen

[–]KaiBishop 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Still wild how Popheads will see Billie's parents being overbearing douchebags in one clip and from that develop the conspiracy theory that they secretly don't love their daughter, view her as a cash cow, force her to do things she doesn't want, etc, meanwhile how many of US have had our parents pressure us to go through with something when we were tired or cranky or depressed, even if maybe they were pushing us too far? Idk. The conspiracy theories are wild. I know my mom has tried to cheer me up or motivate me at times and it comes off as her pestering me or being annoying, but I think it's too easy to assume malice or whatever when lots of parents are just awkwardly out of touch of how to deal with their teenager.

The conspiracy theory that instead of this family actually caring each other they're just showbizz-obsessed sociopaths who feign having a familial bond for their branding is kind of hilarious to me. It seems like the concept for a family of super villains in The Incredibles universe or something.

[–]jaztinax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

in addition to everything you said, it’s another thing to raise a teenager who has gained international fame and is in their prime. no one teaches you how to handle that even if their parents know about the entertainment business. there’s a clip where her mom makes her talk to business people and she says how much she doesn’t want to or care, but it’s unfortunately a part of the job to interact and network with people. it sucks that both minors and adults who have that kind of fame are so overworked and tired, but her parents didn’t come off as any different than most parents with famous children

[–]qthn 8 points9 points  (1 child)

annoyed at this influencer being rightfully called out for attending an ~openly~ homophobic church and all the comments going “ignore those people! not all christians are homophobic! this is cancel culture is getting out of hand! stop policing people’s beliefs” but like… said influencer can choose to attend a different church? the outrage is because of the church they choose to attend (and probably support? idk i’m not a christian so idk what people do in church lol), not that they’re a christian. people are so purposefully dense when they want to defend their faves lol.

[–]KaiBishop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmao seriously I'm gay af and id as Christian or like, Christian-lite (lmao) and churches make me so uncomfortable they activate a fight or flight response lol. I also just don't like old people touching me and when you go to church they all want to clutch your shoulders and nod vigorously at you. Your personal identity and relationship with God is not under attack just because someone criticized your church. The church is NOT God and acting like a critique of the church is an attack on your faith itself is, imo, a sign of worshipping false idols. But w/e the bible doesn't say anything about that right? 😳

Modern Christians really worship the Bible, not God. And even then they don't really worship the Bible, just their weird fanfic-y assumptions about it/the version of it they made up in their heads. It's fucking gross &a half the reason I always feel weird talking about my own religion lmao.

Anyone know if there’s a way to see songwriting credits in order of who contributed the most? Or a way to see how much each listed writer contributed? Every place i look at seems to list them alphabetically.

[–]atomictartar 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I really liked the fatlogic sub like two years ago, even when I did saw a lot of fatphobia, there were a lot of really good criticism on movements like HAES and so, but every time I check on it again is... trash. Most of the people that lurk on that sub are obese, and it's so obvious they hate themselves thanks to that sub which wasn't the point, like I get criticism to the glorification of obesity, that point is valid but at certain moment it turned into: THE FATS HAVE TO DIE, THEY'RE UGLY, FATPHOBIA DOESN'T EXIST, and while I've seen that kind behavior on the fat acceptance movement (like, skinny people must die), and some stupid bs, fatphobia is real and damage lifes, some people just have the wrong focus.

Ugh, I think that environment is very toxic, and every time I point that out I get downvoted to hell. Same to when I tried to get help to lose weight two years ago, they told me I was lying about my weight because I was skinny and that I wasn't counting calories and I was like, "Sir, I have pancreatitis, I do count fats and calories" and they were like LIER. Toxic shit. That sub could have been good if it wasn't full of fatphobic FAT people that think they're ugly and lazy just because they're fat. Fatphobia is such an interesting topic, specially when you think about capitalism and this fuckers turned the criticism into a hate cult, the discusions are even called "Fat Rant", AAAAA.

Was listening to Noah Cyrus' July ft Leon Bridges tonight and thought I remembered them performing it live on an awards or late night show. However, it seems to have been scrubbed from YouTube. Google confirmed my memory though: they were on Fallon together in November 2019, but even the videos on those articles are no longer available. Anyone know why?

Hi I have spent the past 40-minutes listening to songs on YouTube at 1.35x speed and I just want to say how much fun it is, probably even if you aren't as high as I am. "Motion Sickness" by Phoebe Bridgers and Deja Vu are both A+++ at 1.35x speed.

No more slowed and reverbed. Now I only want sped up and verbed.

e: listening to "Team" by Lorde at 1.35x speed and thinking 'man if you cleaned up the percussions this would be amazing' and you ever get so high you invent the House Remix?

Some random thoughts

  • My song of today is Intuition and Stand By Jewel
  • I dont know why but i really like Dominic Fike
  • Went to the doc today cause im havin bad heartburn-nausea and i thought it was my heart but look like is stomatch issues. Drank too much coke in the last weeks and i got like a bad infection. Also got worried cause i thought it was covid invading me.
  • People who have vocal talent dont know how lucky theyre. Theyre a minority in this planet. So jealous. Wish i was a songbird.
  • This rat eating this chromatica cookie never fails to make me laugh. Look like she's not enjoying it Lol
  • Today i was reading about the Sami People and Indigenous european groups who were erased.
  • Grimes is incredibly talented but that woman really lives in her own reality disconnected from everything. Gwyneth paltrow is another one who gives me the same vibes lol
  • Gonna organize some footage from my dad vhs tapes from 2001. A trip to New York and Iowa. Is crazy how different cars looked back then.

Olivia Rodrigo‘s Debut Album Cover looks like Sigrid‘s Debut Album Cover. Wondering if she got inspired by it

[–]shoestring-theory 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It looks like a lot of the minimalist indie/e-girls’ album covers. It’s just not very unique

CODE by SHINee is the best boy group song in K-Pop of the past few years, maybe decade, maybe of all time methinks? I'm a sucker for an electro-pop song with space/celestial sounds.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Your pfp got me thinking what if SHINee covered or even made a song very similar to Madonna’s “Music” and now I’m dripping. CØDE and Atlantis give off a similar vibe!

The Atlantis album has been on repeat the entire day, it’s amazing, one of their strongest albums yet! I only don’t care for Body Rhythm.

[–]QustoMar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I could imagine SHINee doing a title track like Music as well!! Or the other dance songs on that album like Impressive Instant, Runaway Lover, and Amazing. That space-y, alien, futuristic-y electronic yet club sound would be so good.

I thoroughly enjoy the album as well, it’s just a great, solid set of pop bops!

[–]scherbadeen Popheads' #1 MIKA fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting about this, it's a bop. When I was very casually into kpop like a decade ago (whew) SHINee was on high rotation, fun times.

[–]spectrales 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so fucking good. It’s like a perfect marriage of their older, bombastic sound and more modern, up-to-date production. I’m obsessed and also still pressed @ SM for not giving it a video. Like Atlantis is also really great but CODE............whew

Did I spend an hour of my life watching someone rank every Taylor swift song ever last night? Yes

[–]jasannn 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Are you really a swifite if you've never done a song ranking for her whole discography? I did it way too many times during 1989 and rep era, but I haven't had time to do it since then.

[–]xxpizzasrlifexx 4 points5 points  (1 child)

i can do it for individual albums, but her discography as a whole is so hard to rank because there’s so many songs

[–]jasannn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used this website to rank songs before. It'll suck a good hour or more of your day.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

It’s just so hard to do there’s so many good songs it’s like choosing my favourite child. My number 1 has been the same since red dropped (all too well- Basic I know but it’s just so good) but my top 10 changes all the time.

I remember I loved Emotion by CRJ so much in 2015/2016 that I would google "Carly Rae Jepsen emotion review" every weeks just to see publications praise it to death. This was how I found about Fantano and Pitchfork. I'm pretty sure I watched his review video and read the pitchfork review at least 5 times. I was so hyped when CRJ posted about Side B on insta on it's anniversary. I bopped to all those snippets until the EP came out. I really was a full blown pophead even before I found this sub.

[–]Question4TheCulture 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Even though I kinda hate phcj I feel like I was a full blown popheadscirclejerker before I even knew about these subs. When I first listened to Juice in January 2019 I liked it so much that I started to listen to music in general more often because I realized the full amount of joy that music could give me. And then in April 2020, Damn Daniel got recommended to me on Youtube (and I clicked on it because I thought the title was dumb as hell) and I fell in love with it. It was legit the only thing that could relieve my stress during early quarantine.

[–]threesifyouplease 2 points3 points  (1 child)

YAY! good luck!

One thing I miss about the pandemic is not being able to practice mine!

I work in a school that is predominantly Hispanic students, and I normally pick new stuff up naturally listening to them (and when I have a good relationship with the students they've even taught me the bad stuff), but I don't teach in-person for the rest of the year and don't interact with students enough otherwise to get that like I normally would. And two of my best friends speak Spanish but I don't get to see them because duh, COVID.

[–]DisastrousKelper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!

That sucks so much, hopefully you’ll be able to practice with your students again soon! I’m always so shy when it comes to practicing my speaking haha

Loads of people here are bilingual too because we have a large Latino community, and when I was in high school I knew a decent amount of Spanish but then I moved abroad to the UK for a few years and stopped using it almost completely. I’m kicking myself so hard for it now haha.

Dilemmaofahedgehog put together a really amazing list of resources that they shared with me a little while ago so I’m definitely gonna be using that to practice with 😊

[–]IcePopBandit 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Do we think Olivia Rodrigo’s debut album is going to do big in terms of sales? She already has 2 top 10 singles, but those are largely due to streams. I wonder how the physical numbers will look for her.

[–]untitledmanuscriptstream touch it 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think Swifties will influence that A LOT. They know she’s a fan and they’ll want to help her out and make her a success. I’m curious too how she’ll do with physical sales.

[–]queenmeme2 11 points12 points  (8 children)

[–]jrainiersea 26 points27 points  (3 children)

I think from a technical standpoint, Taylor's voice sounds a lot better on the new version of Fearless, but there's something about the earnestness in her teenage voice on songs like You Belong With Me and Forever and Always that's missing with the new versions. Her straining to hit notes on the originals plays in to the desperation she's feeling from those, at least to me.

[–]popientistheholytrinity 6 points7 points  (2 children)

I totally see what you mean even though for me it's not an issue cause I never got into fearless so I have no emotional attachment to it, I'm only starting to really like it now that Ive heard the new version, but when she's going to drop SN I'm scared I will feel the same way as you do now. She still has her teenage voice on this album and I'm scared songs like Enchanted or Back to December won't hit the same with her more mature voice.

And here I am wondering how they are going to get the baby voice on Gorgeous again unless they find someone else's kid to do it lol.

[–]goteampancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baby Betty might be the right age! Or Gigi's baby

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I need to regain my focus for the next twoish months and spend less time on social media :)

[–]fuoricontestofolklore 12 points13 points  (13 children)

do you see yourself as introvert or extrovert?

[–]lillipup03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’m an extrovert, but my anxiety is so bad that I act like an introvert. Like... I absolutely don’t feel comfortable just going up and talking to random people, but I have the most fun when I’m hanging out with my friends or just talking to people. I always get Introvert when I do MBTI tests, but I dunno, I just feel like once (and if) I get better control of my anxiety, then I’ll be super extroverted.

[–]Bikinigirlout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Introvert mixed with a little bit of extrovert

Like I have no problem being inside all the time so being stuck inside during a pandemic has been pretty easy for me because I watch TV all day anyways but I don’t mind going out for a few hours even if it’s just to walk around my town.

[–]threesifyouplease 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Very much an introvert. I have very few actual friends, will go out in public but still prefer to do so by myself (like for example I am SO okay with going to a bar and reading a book and being left alone), and when I do interact with anyone whether it's at school or socially, I get drained VERY quickly and need a bigger slice of time to recharge my battery before I feel up to doing it again.

[–]fuoricontestofolklore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mmm by reading this i guess i could be an extrovert

[–]heatherdukefanboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

both 💀 like I'm okay hanging out with people but I also am completely fine being by myself. so I can do whatever

[–]megm26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely an introvert. I love my friends and I can spend hours with them, but at some point I really just need some time alone to charge my social battery. This is doubly true when I'm with people who I'm not really friends with.

[–]gelastIc_quInce84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Insanely extroverted. I have tons of friends and I constantly need to be talking to/around people or I get depressed.

[–]popientistheholytrinity 5 points6 points  (3 children)

100% an introvert and sometimes I wonder if I'd be so introverted if I didn't feel self conscious about a lot of things. Cause if I'm comfortable with someone I'm way less of an introvert, tho I guess I still cherish my alone time... but yeah basically I'm really more of an introvert than an extrovert. wbu?

[–]fuoricontestofolklore 2 points3 points  (2 children)

i don't know i guess it depends on my mood? cause i love being around people and meeting new ones and make them feel comfortable etc but i also like my alone time?? i'm exhausted if i'm around people 24h/24h but if i don't talk/see anyone for 1 day i get sad

[–]popientistheholytrinity 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I see, tbh it's hard for me to imagine there are people who don't need their alone time? Like is it even possible? Or are there really people that can't stand being alone?

[–]fuoricontestofolklore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know people like that but it's probably because when they're alone they start thinking a lot and maybe they're not happy with their life and something like that? i used to be 100% an introvert but something changed

[–]noetshep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of both. I think most people will say about me that I'm probably an introvert. I like being by myself and I need alone time, and tbh I almost never talk with most people but whenever I'm with my best friends I'm acting very extrovert-ly. And like I do enjoy being with other people, even if I don't talk to them. Idk

[–]Musichead2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see myself in the middle. I like hanging out with friends but also like going exploring cities alone. Also I am the type of person who likes going to events with a lot of people alone. But also I'd go with a friend too. I try to hangout with a friend at least once per weekend.

[–]okayhowl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

so strange to me to see all these other asians i follow being quiet about daunte’s murder when they were so loud about black lives matter last year

its always those asians who always talk about how people ignore racism against asians :)

[–]futureswife 23 points24 points  (5 children)

It's kinda wild all the shit that goes on in the world that the American media doesn't talk about. Like in India there's a fascist paramilitary organization that has over 5 million members. Or the genocide of muslims in Myanmar (which from what I've heard also isn't talked about in Myanmar either for some reason). Or all the whacky shit that goes on in Sub-Saharan Africa

[–]Bikinigirlout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s also some weird things starting up in Russia where they’re getting more troops by their borders and it’s a bit alarming but I haven’t fully done much research into it and no one has really explained if anyone should be panicking

I wasn’t paying attention much when Russia invade Crimea a few years ago so I don’t know what the fuck is going on over there

[–]threesifyouplease 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we're so self-centered, we only seem to care about domestic stuff, which I'm so sure is why we're (as a whole, not every one of us) so misinformed or uninformed about world affairs or anything outside our little bubble.

I'm teaching world geography this year and we had a section about the ongoing situation in Myanmar! and our Africa unit did talk about some of the whacky shit you mention. I was surprised because I took ONE world history course in all of middle and high school. It's like if you watch American news, you only know there's other shit going on if we're somehow involved :/

[–]xavieryes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Western media only cares about shit that happens in the West itself or somehow affects it

[–]popientistheholytrinity 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I think it's not just America but more so the West in general. Cause I'm just learning about this paramilitary organization in India. I know about Myanmar tho, I even had to do a presentation on the subject last year

[–]oath2order 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Isn't this like every country? Most country's media are gonna focus on that country.

[–]MythicalBeaste 14 points15 points  (1 child)

honestly she was born to be famous

[–]hausofmiklaus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only one who did it with style and looked hot enough to scorch the studio.

[–]katevdolab14 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Does anybody else here who uses apple music find that the replay feature seems super inaccurate?

I check it every so often and the play counts on albums there vs last.fm are often off by like over 200 plays. Part of me wonders if it just updates very infrequently but my top album ranking is just so different from last.fm's ranking, which is much more accurate.

[–]lillipup03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t expect my rewind to completely match my last.fm since I scrobble songs I listen to on youtube and radio, but it’s weird for it to be as off as it is. Like... my top song of 2021 on last.fm has a 70 scrobble lead over the song that Apple Music has at #1, which just isn’t even close. It’s odd.

[–]popientistheholytrinity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's not accurate at all. AM is shockingly bad at this kind of stuff, and its algorithm is pretty bad too. But its library management is so good. The ability to edit metadata is so much more vital to me than the algorithm since I mostly listen to songs I already know.

[–]fallenriotBREERUNWAY 2 points3 points  (1 child)

If you play an individual song on repeat, Apple Music will only count it as one play. That could be where part of the difference comes from, but for me mine is always accurate.

[–]katevdolab14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh maybe it is the repeat plays then idk, my play count is just so much lower on apple music than last.fm

[–]booksandplantsand 14 points15 points  (0 children)

guess who cried as soon as the therapist was like "okay can you give me the big picture of what you've been struggling with?" oh yeah baby I'm so emotionally well adjusted

although having a professional corroborate that I actually mentally ill and not just, like, a miserable person is cool. and hopefully it only gets better from here!

[–]twobrowneyes22 10 points11 points  (6 children)

Anybody else use older technology to listen to music? I still listen to music on an iPod classic.

[–]calebb2108i'd rather be drunk but at least im alive 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Yeah? Well I still listen to vinyl. Maybe you’ve heard of it? You might be too young 😎 /s

[–]twobrowneyes22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vinyl? Those are like big CDs right? /s

[–]threesifyouplease 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I did until someone stole it out of my car :(

and it had music on it that I downloaded years ago that I'm not sure exists to be downloaded anymore :(((

[–]twobrowneyes22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww, that's terrible, I'm sorry :(

[–]McIgglyTuffMuffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd probably still use my iPod if

A) Apple didn't suck so much on my current laptop

B) my iPod Classic wasn't giving to me by an exgirlfriend

[–]Musichead2468 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used an mp3 player till 2 years ago cause I was worried about the phone battery. And since 2 years ago I use spotify on my phone.

[–]chadthundertalk 22 points23 points  (2 children)

Things that I didn't know but did not surprise me: Lin Manuel Miranda grew up rich as hell in Manhattan.

Things that I didn't know but did surprise me: Lin Manuel Miranda and Immortal Technique went to the same high school. (Less surprisingly, Immortal Technique was apparently his high school bully, but they're cool now.)

[–]gelastIc_quInce84 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lin Manuel Miranda and Immortal Technique went to the same high school

That's the high school I go to! The teachers used to talk about Lin Manuel Miranda ALL the time, and my uncle who also went to my school was in a play with him like 25 years ago. He even gave our school the rights to do Hamilton as a school play a few years ago during it's peak (it was before I came though).

[–]nootnoot781 9 points10 points  (1 child)

currently manifesting that i will see "track 7 - back together ft. tame impala" when SZA posts her album's tracklist 🤩

it's my favourite unreleased single of all time and it's not even finished. like the power the HD completed version would have... all my problems would literally disappear.

but then again i was a clown and thought it would be on the slow rush so

[–]trashypaninirelease back together you cowards 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been summoned.

[–]liberalitea 18 points19 points  (3 children)

so have yall seen the pic of Celine Dion groping Katy Perry's hamburger meat while she stands in shock

it's been going kinda viral recently

reference

[–]popientistheholytrinity 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Omg Katy is so tall?

Edit: wait, it makes no sense, google says Katy is 170 cm and Céline is 171 cm, but in the pic Celine is the same height as Katy with like 10-12cm heels??

[–]metanoira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Celine is like slouching a bit though but it also just may be perspective

[–]liberalitea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

shes like 5'7 according to google which is decently average and way taller than i thought she was

i wouldve guessed like 5'2-3 tbh

[–]AllTheThingsSheSays 25 points26 points  (1 child)

I have a kinda uncommon name, and it startles me sometimes me when a character in a tv show or movie has my name too, I'm currently watch a l&o episode, and every time they same my name I feel like a dog responding to their name

[–]getyourwish♡♡♡ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i have a top 10 name from my birth year and i still do the same thing 😭

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My expectations are SO high for the Olivia Rodrigo album lol

[–]fuoricontestofolklore 44 points45 points  (8 children)

sweater weather is supposed to be like the bi anthem or something but it just reminds me of tumblr 2013/14...still a bop though

[–]celladonn 36 points37 points  (3 children)

Same and honestly I don't really get why it's thought of as a bi anthem? It's a good song but there's nothing particularly bi about it lmao
