Taylor Swift put out four new songs the same day Ms. Rachel dropped I'm So Happy while her friend, Ed Sheeran, played puppet for Robert Kraft. Macklemore meanwhile took the Free Palestine dates and sold them all out and Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja was arrested in the UK for a sign supporting Palestine Action.

Ugh, can't bring myself to watch a video with such a hyperbolic and ignorant title that can only come from the mind of someone who only listens to the radio. Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift are big acts but they don't represent music as a whole. They don't even represent pop music as a whole.

The description even acknowledges artists who aren't "ruining" music....turns out the bulk of musicians fit that category.

And why is this in an FuckTheUSA community? Ed Sheeran is extremely British.

Weren't they both always 100% pablum for people who think salt is spicy?

For people who think ketchup is exciting, yes.

Ed Sheeran is from the UK.

And? He’s still beholden to US billionaires.

I find the music I listen to stays just as good no matter who else are doing music.

They are playing the algorithm, people did the same in the past with TV and magazines.

Also human relationship with music is kinda weird, seems more of an addiction

[-] remon@ani.social 6 points 3 days ago

Yeah, they have been doing that for around 20 years, why is it news now?

[-] DeadEndLink@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Pop music and top 40 radio are hot garbage.

[-] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Yawn. Every generation has a POPular singer/band that is ruining music. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

Blah, blah, blah...

swift fans said she lost her shtick when she started dating kelce, so her music has been vanilla for thier taste.

[-] Pratai@piefed.ca 10 points 3 days ago

It’s always been vanilla.

The word is "mainstream", and it's okay to not prefer it.

There is a conspiracy theory that her agreement to buy her masters included behavior clauses that effectively forced her to tone down her rhetoric.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if it was true.

[-] Fredselfish@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Why would she need to do that cunt a billionaire. She doesn't need them. I also call her cunt because no such thing as a good billionaire.
