Es geht hier um (den positiv konnotierten) Fotzenrap. Shirin David, Queen Latifa, Ikkimel und Katja Krasavice, Mysogynie und Sexismus, nur am Rande um Trump, aber das konnten die wohl nicht in die Headline oder den Text schreiben 🙄

"Seit einem Jahr ist Donald Trump zurück im Weißen Haus. Kaum eine US-Regierung zuvor hat für so viele Memes und so viel Protest gesorgt. Musiker, Comedians und Schauspieler sind auch in Trumps zweiter Amtszeit nicht mundtot gemacht. Aber die US-Popkultur tut sich schwer mit seiner Brutalität."

US-Popkultur gegen Trump: "Die Leute denken, das ist jetzt Ernst"

Musiker, Comedians und Schauspieler sind auch in Trumps zweiter Amtszeit nicht mundtot gemacht. Aber die US-Popkultur tut sich schwer mit seiner Brutalität.

Rebellious individualism is a quaint anachronism in an era where everyone is pointing a camera at their own face all the time - the only kind of individualism is the kind that makes you just like everyone else...

A Few Indisputable Points About Poptimism and Then I Give Up

everybody's afraid to disagree with you, so, you know, cool

LOL, 4 years #Critics of the #MusicIndustry have been labeled #Rockists and Elitists 4 complaining about the decline in the quality of lamestream Music quality for decades, especially in #PopMusic, but we were right and something had to give.

BTW, you can loathe #Poptimism not because you hate Pop Music, but because you care about it.

Record Labels May Need to Adjust Their Expectations for Pop Stars

At a time when executives agree it’s harder to create superstars, the music industry may need to change how it views a win.

Poptimism: an outdated term

The Justice
Other than the Optimist part of the Word, my other problem with “#Poptimism” is that it isn’t Genre Neutral, it leaves out a LOT of Music, especially the kind of Music that mainstream entertainment coverage all too often ignores, which Rockcentricism/#Rockism was also guilty of.

My anti #Poptimism, continued-

But we shouldn't forget that #GothMagazines of old were often just giving descriptions of Albums & Singles, not real reviews much less negative ones.

Let's avoid looking back at the past with rose tinted lenses.

Honestly I feel like my mother finishing her junior year of high school while I was in my third trimester took more gumption than Rihanna lipsyncing for 10 minutes but times change

@inquiline #poptimism approach to #music mirrors critiques of #Mastodon:

#noncommercial #IndyMedia start off as #white #male and #elitist, with steep barriers to entry by #class #gender and #race (true of #Mastodon #OpenSource and #The1980s #TheEarly1990s #PostPunk #BBS #Usenet)

while centralized corporate industries provide a #space for #race and #gender #diversity and #community building
(true for both #BlackMusic and #BlackTwitter)

#HackingDiversity may be a way out of this conundrum
