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, motherfuckers.

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

A lot of this #Poptimist advocacy by middle aged adults just sounds like writers who are desperate to be hip with the young crowd but managing to do that in a condescending & wilfully ignorant way.

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

A couple of days ago, while making an Instagram story using photos of two tour shirts I picked up in Melbourne, I ended up discovering the multiverse movie of my dreams.

Ideally, its title theme song should be a mashup of "The Best of Both Worlds" and "Lucretia My Reflection."

If you like both songs, we have similar tastes and will likely/hopefully get along.
