Very poignant notes, I love this. As someone who does fall more in the nostalgia category, I do still recognize the slop of it all, and I agree with the umbrella term of buttrock. The commodification of subcultures like goth, in that 2000s shift especially music wise is something I always mention and other music genres created from it. The attempt to recreate the feeling siouxsie and the banshees and bauhaus gave, a generation rejecting conservatism , margaret thatcher and all her ideals. It was never recaptured but those attempts are still being made, and an example in conjunction would be buttrock.
i love how u drew parallels to emo rap bc so true even when it sounds bad, it’s authentic, in a way that feels increasingly rare …tbh u might jst have predicted smth bc i wld b curious to see how that too cycles back a couple years frm now…loved hearing your thoughts on this !! you really write so vividly and strongly in your own voice , really enjoyed reading thank u for sharing this 🙂↕️🩶
I love all your takes but my most favorite to read is your discourse about music - it’s super entertaining. Had me laughing between “Music you can pound at a WWE match while the DJ spam drops bomb and eagle sound effects” and “lunchable ass voice”. Fully agree and remember when it was cringe to like this music and I personally found a place in my heart for it now. With the political state right now, Im curious if we’ll get another reboot or if the comeback of midwest emo will take its place
Omg thank you!! Trying to be funny is so hard for me but very satisfying when it works! And yes it’s so nostalgic now, and I feel like you’re probably right it feels like we’re leaning towards the Midwest emo vibe but who knows?? Thank you so much for reading Queen 💜💜💜💜💜

(p.s the jokes are hilarious)
Very well said, per usual :)
