when r ppl on stan twitter gonna realise the "why is it always people we have to google" comeback does nothing for them like if you don't know who the pet shop boys are or who courtney love is thats just on you for knowing zilch about literally any other music
Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys claims Taylor Swift doesn’t have any famous songs:
“Taylor Swift sort of fascinates me as a phenomenon because she’s so popular, and I sort of quite like the whole thing, but then when I listen to the records … for a phenomenon as big as she
just made this mockup in picsart but is there an image like this out there of blood smeared on an empty abbey road like the beatles all got run over or am i just remembering something that never existed
seen a lot of people confused to what real goth is so as an elder goth (3+ years experience) i thought i might make a definitive list of music that's actually influenced the subculture, lmk if you've got any questions x
@jaqsre
and the fact he does it over and over again too, like if he cared hed be more careful and at least try to minimise his fans attacking people but he just does this over and over again
Taylor Swift on ‘reputation’:
“It’s a goth-punk moment of female rage at being gaslit by an entire social structure. I think a lot of people see it and they’re just like, sick snakes and strobe lights.” (via TIME)
would be crazy if whenever she had an edgy era she started like covering herself in peanut butter on stage and cutting herself up with glass like iggy pop
Sam Smith performed last night in a concert in Sheffield 🇬🇧that had no age restrictions and included the attendance of young children
On stage he performed a strip routine while in fetish gear.
Is this appropriate for kids?
"go to hell" is basic. “i hope you get into an older band who has never rereleased their music so it's not on spotify and their records cost a ton of money.” is smart. it’s possible, it’s terrifying.
i know neil is wrong as much as i am not into taylors music at all but its objectively a funny thing to say and i like pet shop boys so i will defend him
Timothée Chalamet reveals he has access to 12 hours of unreleased Bob Dylan songs to help him prepare for the biopic, ‘A Complete Unknown.’

i dont want to engage in this discourse bc its dumb and nothing good gets done on twitter but everytime i see this i just remember how that was like one of the most memorable moments in the whole movie it was funny and was genuinely a really good character moment for bateman
like yeah he may be one of the most renowned singer songwriters of all time but hes also literally some fucking guy and ive been obsessed with him for two years while he's just living his life not knowing i exist i feel so awkward and kinda creepy if i think abt it too much
imagine if we started treating steampunk people like this and went around attacking millennials who wear goggles and bowler hats on tumblr because they dont listen to fugazi
is it not like so stupid to make a thread about someone supporting genocide and then fill it with other shitty internet drama that doesnt matter like who gives a fuck about him leaking his dms with doja cat right now
i feel like razorblades as an aesthetic thing is something you can do in literally any subculture ever except for pop punk and emo especially when you are machine gun kelly
we need to bring back fucked up live acts like iggy pop and gg allin who just start vomiting or fighting everyone or screaming or mutilating themselves or whatever on stage but you can't do that anymore you'd get twitter cancelled 🙄🙄

@RealJamesFitton
it's ok bc i love to think that there are people out there who sincerely think oknotok got actually rated shit in all caps by pitchfork
i really hate being into old music because reality keeps setting in that by the time im in my 30s most of my favourite musicians that are still alive are going to be dead
What’s the “One Hit Wonder” where you’re like “WELL ACTUALLY THEY HAD FIVE ALBUMS AND SO MANY BANGERS AND ITS A POOR REFLECTION ON *YOU* THAT YOU ONLY KNOW ONE OF THEIR SONGS”
Imagine if bluey came out ten years earlier and people on the internet at the height of its popularity were making up creepypastas about it saying there’s like a hidden episode where bandit kills himself and his face looks like this or something
@trustyousaid
same honestly like striking the balance between telling people about the music you like assuming they know artists when they don't and making them feel bad or assuming they dont know the artists and explaining them and coming off like a tool is my number 1 struggle 😭
@ranmasaotome96
let me go listen to 8000 random ass obscure releases that i know im going to hate just so i can log it all online to show how much of a dick i am
i cant find a picture rn but i think one of my favourite things in music history is when dee dee ramone wanted to be a rapper after leaving rehab and started dressing in his "rap clothes" on stage much to the dismay of johnny ramone in particular
Can people acknowledge every famous musician has done something fucked up but talking about that and saying its bad isnt equivalent to like cancelling them over nothing and saying you can never listen to their music again or does nuance not exist on twitter
