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

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

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

"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!

So anyway, I'm a trans woman who makes cute and/or chill music in various trackers (ok, almost exclusively Renoise by now) because I grew up making chiptunes and then never bothered to learn how to handle a piano roll. Barely have time for that though because my life is filled with work and polyamory and retro gaming lol. I like raccoons and Diddy Kong Racing is the perfect game.
