this is such a reductionist take on what pop music actually is and is 100% indicative that you don't know how to actually engage with art. citation fucking needed br0o0o0o0

I'd even agree that the ones that are empty like that, are still made by brilliant artists and producers, but I'd still hold them to the same level most people would hold a Keemstar Drama Alert video. Which is the point of the remark.

and this is 100% indicative that you don't know a single thing about what goes into music production.

Hey Choof, let me tell you something. You said this to me recently, and I think the advice is more fitting for yourself at the moment.

Find a better hill to die on, a sarcastic one-liner about Pop music isn't a good one.

funny that you'd mention this because iirc I said "find a better hill to die on" in response to you
ahem

charting fucking freedom dive

which is incredibly ironic given that freedom dive has genuinely more views on youtube than some pop artists and bands that I could post

I can't say I agree completely with you, but I could acknowledge you have a point, though I am going to ask you cite the video in specific so I can check to see if you're correct about him telling the fans to go harass people.

here's the first vid that's since been deleted since, you know, it made fun of an autistic kid

I didn't spout some bullshit, I made a sarcastic remark about putting Pop music and Drama Alert & Leafy content on the same level. It's fine if you disagree. That's why it's a discussion? Nothing I said was worse than what DBP said about Keemstar. I didn't even say I hated Pop music.

you implied that pop music is for idiots
there are genuinely avant garde and forward thinking pop artists, in the mainstream, right now
