Fitting since she makes music for people that are exactly like that.
People that think they’re wild and crazy but are actually the most mild and middle class white people you’ve ever met.
If swifties were a pokemon, they’d be normal type.
Ditto has a place in the world
And it’s getting railed 24/7, the dream
dude sometimes I just wanna be a basic white girl
That’s ok.
The power is in your hands to do so
“If they were a spice, they’d be flour.”
yeah but they’re into being spanked so clearly they’re FUCKED UP and if anyone knew their terrible secret they’d be horrified
Photo of the Swift Asylum, it’s actually horrible! Just 3,600 sqft on 11 acres?? who could live like that!
Okay completely irrelevant but I feel like infodumping and it’s crazy how THIRTY TOUSDAND PEOPLE lived in a city just over HALF of her property size. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City
Just to be clear, the photo above is of her childhood home in Wyomissing, PA, and the property is definitely much smaller than Kowloon Walled City. I’m guessing you’re talking about a different property?
Having been to Kowloon 20 years ago, It sure seemed like every 5.5 acres housed way more than 30k people.
yeah but if you live there your parents leave you alone at Christmas and two guys attempt to break in and kill you so you have to improvise booby traps
No argument that she’s from the wealth & privilege class
But you don’t become the biggest pop star ever with a completely healthy upbringing, either, right?
…why not? Pop isn’t exactly a reaction like metal, punk or hyperpop, it’s just… The default genre of music she could have made?
What unhealthy part of any upbringing would compel someone to make pop?
Anyone that driven was probably abused mentally to some degree at the very least… I know you think you’re being “funny” because it’s just “pop music”. Like being pop means it isn’t a horrible cut throat industry that regularly chews up and destroys child stars …
No, she had the fucken cash to sit around and get the fucken recording equipment and instruments for country songs. That shit ain’t cheap, and she started before the home recording revolution. So you know Papa Swift paid for some studio time. Its not abuse at all, its wealth and privilege to pursue what you want.
You’re not wrong on all your points but also jesus christ if you think DIY started after T Swift.
No, but in the 2010s it became much cheaper to record at home than it ever was and we saw countless artists come from that.
From everything ive heard, it seems her parents were super supportive and understanding, from driving her hours away so she could get lessons/coaching, to moving across the country so she could start her career.
You know what else regularly grinds up and destroys children?
Poverty.
Which occurs to far more millions of people than whatever tf this princess went through
But you don’t become the biggest pop star ever with a completely healthy upbringing, either, right?
Paul McCartney had, by all accounts, an idyllic childhood
So that’s where the Beatles dark sound comes from…
Keep it down, you might interrupt the circle jerk. Don’t worry, they will tire soon.
What is the point in ever defending a billionaire for any reason?
Other than the jet thing, does she really have a scandal?
https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-33678225
She’s a lawful evil devil who seems to be very mean and very manipulative
Aka, a billionaire
So 1 guy.
I’m sorry, I’m gonna need more than that.
Maybe she’s horrible, maybe she wouldn’t sleep with him.
I don’t know, but I’m sure she’s not perfect, and we’ve all been an asshole to someone who didn’t deserve it on a bad day.
Now repeated behavior is a completely different thing
That’s not what he’s alleging. He’s implying that she has a network and team that will destroy people who publicly oppose her
ITT: people who would have thrown away rap albums when they found out the rapper never actually dealt drugs defending a billionaire from a little joke she’ll never see.
I throw away rap albums from the ones that actually are murderers, come at me
rap quality scales directly with how hard the lyrics diss violence
gangsters paradise is genuinely one of the best works of art ever made
Power and the money. Money and the power.
Raised a barn on monday. Soon I’ll raise another.
Jenny from the Block moment.
Can some ELI5 Taylor Swift drama? I haven’t listener to her since middle school, and my sister’s keep trying to tell me what’s up but I have no context.
The conservatives don’t like her because she’s popular and she is pro LGBTQ+
And she tells her fans to go vote. Republicans really don’t like high voter turnout.
Voters turnout doesn’t favor one party over another
https://www.nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/does-high-voter-turnout-help-one-party
Yeah but Republicans think it does and have been trying to suppress voters for a while. Mostly in specific districts and for specific methods like threatening people using ballot drop boxes.
that’s a really interesting read. i’m surprised by the data. i couldn’t find any surface-level errors with it either. guess i got some thinkin to do.
That, and many liberals don’t like her bc she is extremely fucking rich, and grew up as such.
And she doesn’t say a peep when her zombie army of deranged cultists send death threats to people who review her albums in a negative manner.
She’s an opportunistic cunt.
Liberals care about that?
I thought hating the rich was a left thing?
As a leftist myself, I’m not a fan of TSwift, but I think there’s much bigger and much worse targets to meme about. So I think all these TSwift posts are conservatives or bots.
The left doesn’t like the rich. The right envies them. It all works out to dislike from both sides with the right willing to suck up since they have a never ending delusion that they will magically be rich one day.
guys guys GUYS this song has lyrics in it that aren’t literally true omg
Isn’t autobiographical songs and leaving breadcrumbs in lyrics and music videos Taylor’s whole schtick?
Wait, are you saying that Billy Joel doesn’t actually live in Allentown??
johnny cash is a fucking liar he never shot anyone in reno
Still one of the most metal lyrics ever.
“I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die”
How much more detached and psychotic can you get? Even with goregrind, the motive is clear, albeit deranged. This is just, fuck it, I just want this person dead just to see them die.
That song was initially “Levittown,” but he changed it to make the message appear to a wider audience. And Billy Joel sings about growing up on Long Island all the time! You can still meet him at his Scenes Italian Restaurant if you know the right neighborhood.
He came into my job once! He’s a real jerk from what I’ve been told and wouldn’t even look at any of us let alone a nod or a wave as we’re just worthless factory schmucks lol
lol I blame the divorce
She sang fondly about that Christmas tree farm, so I guess this new song is just to shit talk about New Jersey.
Understandable
Have you met rich people? These two locations definitely housed the mentally unwell.
Most rich people are also sociopaths that show little to no empathy for their offspring.
i think im starting to understand why some people don’t really like this album.
though to be fair, i don’t listen to music to read a story. So.
You’re missing out if you’ve never heard Alice’s Restaurant Massacree by Arlo Guthrie.
I don’t even “hear” lyrics in songs! Is it typical for albums to have songs that tell an overall story?
re: dark side of the moon
Yeah. There are Rock operas which are albums that tell a unified story, but not one which is meant to be acted out like an actual opera.
The
DoorsWho album Tommy was one of the first to be billed as such. As well as most of what The Protomen and The Mechanisms have put out.
