@wigglytuffitout well, you got me there, but I'm talking more in the way that the kind of mass market appeal that pop music is defined by. Rap isn't being listened to by many suburban moms, and can be challenging to capitalism without fearing losing some listener base. Punk can be challenging to music standards. I'm interested in the ways music can be challenging.
@wigglytuffitout I'll admit that I tend to be a hipster stereotype. My problem with pop music isn't the tendency for fandoms to arise around them, but rather that once they "make it big" by the very nature of trying to keep such a big cultural machine running, it loses its ability to challenge to the status quo. They become the new status quo.
@wigglytuffitout pop music sideways has been and always will be the lowest common denominator of music. It's not popular necessarily because it's good, it's popular because it appeals to the widest audience in the most shallow manner.
Pop music never has been and never will be challenging to the prevailing culture.

@evie I'm like 90% sure that in a few weeks this is going to come it as some art joke by some Swedish artist.

@Nine welcome to rm
Take over an abandoned big box store and build homes inside it. They don't need to be protected from the elements thanks to the structure already surrounding them, so you only need to worry about them being structurally sound if you're going to be building multi-level homes inside the building.
Why are mal-warts so fucking tall inside? Let's use that space for something other than making the malton family rich.
@Nine yes, exactly! Except you close your lips sort of like you're making an "m" sound but you go "weh" while opening your lips like an m.
@Nine it's sort of like a w, but accented.
@evie is this a jape? Is cbs local an onionlike website?
Am I getting punked?
@everyhexcolor this might come close to my all time favorite of #2F90D0
@izzy 🖤
@MrJimmy the first aspect of quality is volume. the second is quality.
@izzy I've had people ass me to leave their queer spaces because I'm cis. I'm okay with that, the people in control of a space can decide who they want in it, but it definitely doesn't help the feeling that I'm "not queer enough"
@izzy as a cis pansexual polyamorous male, I frequently feel like I'm "not queer enough" for queer spaces, and I often feel uncomfortable taking on the mantle of queer because I'm not visibly queer.
Anarchist. Cat. Anarkat. White Cis Male. Don't worry, I'll die eventually. Polyamorous & pansexual. Sometimes I say dumb stuff. When that happens, tell me. I'll figure it out.
Location? Idunno. The walls are grey and plain, and it's difficult to get to. Could be a bunker. Or a suburb. Hard to tell.
I drive. A lot. Many attempts have been made on my life by whatever spirit is behind bad drivers, but I'm still around.
