Have I lost track of what memes are?
Or is it the children who are wrong?
Memes died 20 years ago. People just share sentences, sometimes with pictures now.
You are genuinely tripping, 20 years ago was 2004. Are you talking about the dancing baby gif or something? If you’re old enough to make this kind of complaint I can’t believe that you don’t have the attention span to read a paragraph.
20 years ago were image macros, demotivationals, and shortly after that, the following years were advice animals and rage comics.
Dancing baby was mid to late nineties, like Hamster Dance and goatse. Learn your Internet history. 20 years ago Digg was the king of social bookmarking before it was known as social media, 20 years ago was the birth of Web 2.0
"Hey babe, I’m so happy you have forgiven me so we can be a family together, for our child.
Anyways, here’s my new song"
Never understood why people wanna hear him rap about killing his baby momma
Because it’s more nuance than that?
It’s not to be taken at face value. This song is about a man who struggles with addiction. He’s stuck in a relationship with a nasty person all for the sake of his daughter. He’s rapping with raw emotions.
You not supposed to listen to it and be like “ah fuck yeah. Murder is cool”. You’re supposed to listen to it and feel the same emotions he feels, which is vehement rage and desperation.
Still pretty tasteless to make the daughter sing about killing her mother
Have you heard the song? CuZ that’s not what’s in the song. But go off, yeah.
It’s not more nuanced than that, millions of people deal with those issues and don’t directly threaten their significant other/baby momma with literal murder you reaffirm you actually wanted to commit.
Tell me you don’t understand art without telling me you don’t understand art.
He didnt threaten her with murder. He wrote a song expressing his emotions. He exaggerated how he felt to the fullest extent.
I once told my dog that I wanted to eat her cause of how cute she is. I’m afraid to tell you that cause you just might think I run around eating pets just because I think they’re cute.
Wtf
The Your Favorite Band Sucks podcast did a four part series on Eminem last month. Check it out here.
Great show. They know a lot about music. Get over yourself, they’re mostly playing characters rather than villains, but I do think they hate Eminem.
I tried listening to it but can’t stand the meandering style that is common in podcasts for some reason.
“We’re going to do multiple episodes on Eminem because there’s way too much to talk about.”
30 sec prior:
“Take me to a Mexican restaurant and 90% of the time I’m going to spill cheese sauce on myself”
🤦
A lot of podcasts are basically just a surrogate for hanging out with friends and talking, rather than an informational presentation.
Some are a lot scummier about it and actively encourage para social relationships, but most I’ve encountered are best approached as a recording of a group of friends talking about a shared interest, and one brought a PowerPoint.
Needless to say, it’s not the format for everyone.
That actually makes sense, and explains why the format is popular despite frustrating me.
Yeah I get very picky about podcasts myself. This sounds like an interesting premise but one I might skip based on your comment.
Sometimes though, I’ll start a new one and even though the hosts and dynamic can be grating at times, I eventually get used to their personalities and schtick. Guess it just depends.
