i want a 10 hour version of Once In A Lifetime but just the drums and the "dum de de" and background synths to be my main theme

also just a small detail i skipped over but what noodle mentions in the video about the lyrics making no sense yeah that's mostly cause the people who write those songs usually don't speak english very well or if they do they don't care about it and they just write whatever sounds good with the song and shit idk it works for me

Show thread

and fucking god bless them i'm glad they did cause honestly musicallly you might argue that italo disco and eurobeat is just kinda samey dredge that's just pumped out for money but i dunno man i really enjoy it and i'm glad it exists and fucking good for them respect the hustle

Show thread

and you got a bunch of things that caught that wave, even more western stuff like stock aitken waterman, rick astley, divine, etc

but somehow it sold REALLY WELL in japan

and of course is mostly popularized (but not originated by) racing anime like initial d

and so italian producers figured people kept buying it so they kept producing it just song after song

Show thread

ok so the thing about eurobeat is how it mostly comes from italy alright

and that's because

most italo disco producers from the 80s, they were already doing this kinda "music shovelware" thing

fucking michiel van der kuy is known for popping out a whole banger a day

And so the 80s ended and italo disco was starting to lose popularity

so they cranked up the tempo knobs in their synth machines and HI-NRG was born

Show thread

eurobeat is a fucking fantastic genre and there's So Much of it you'll definitely never run out of it

there's like hundreds of Super Eurobeat compilations for god's sake

it's the shovelware of music, except it's good

Show thread

youtube.com/watch?v=wL_de688ZK this feels a bit "he a little confused but he got the spirit" about Why eurobeat is Like That but still he appreciates eurobeat and i appreciate that

I think my favorite use of emoji responses on Slack/Discord/etc is when someone just latches onto a particular word in a message and attaches its emoji, with no semantic content intended. E.g. someone'll say "Sorry, the bus is running late" and someone else will just slap a 🚌 on there to confirm that they did indeed notice and recognize the word "bus"

need like a MSN messenger status message to tell everybody who the hell is fronting

as posted by a headmate on twitter:

"plurality can be just this bullshit handwavey concept you can craft yourself to better explain your shifts in personality and facets and identities and anyone who says otherwise is a rule-shitting gatekeeper"

no big surprises here if you already know about the "racing the beam" euphemism, but a neat post nonetheless!
