#not bop culture

[bop-culture-is]

i think a lot of people need to take a second to understand the difference between “i was questioning my sexuality and identified as bisexual, but have since realized it doesn’t fit me and that i am actually straight” and “i call myself bisexual because it makes me look cool and quirky but i know i’m actually straight lolol” 

you are not gross or a ‘faker’ for using a label you’ve since realized doesn’t fit you! you are trash for knowingly taking advantage of a marginalized label to look “cool” or get a slur pass.

One day I write my unnecessarily wordy essay on how Miss Swift's brand actively encourages parasocial obsession because she has essentially made herself into the beloved protagonist of all these musical stories she tells, which makes it so much harder to separate art from the artist and also makes her fans unwilling to criticise her as a real human being (and neoliberal billionaire) because they see her as more of a flawed yet sympathetic fictional character in a series of romance novels.

#i dont really see myself as a hater #love story. you belong with me. bops tbh #im just a person who is very fascinated with her ascension to godhood in the last year or so #and the culture shes created in her fanbase

i had a horrible(ly funny) realization

yall know old town road? that shit was so popular in the us with the 6 and below crowd when it came out, i know because i worked with that age group at the time and it was all i heard. every single day. every single movement break. old town road. but not by lil naz x. by kidz bop.

so, the realization: if cha cha cha was released in the usa, there'd totally be a kids bop version

#käärijä #jere pöyhönen #i just read an article about käärijä's language at simerock being more 18+ than not #despite there being a lot of kids in the crowd #and i was just thinking about the difference between finnish parents and usa parents #he wouldve become a culture war topic by now #what with his clothes and hair and jewelry and makeup and low riding pants that always look like theyd fall off with one wrong move #not to mention all of his social media posts 💀 #cha cha cha kids bop version would be cursed #im tempted to check the kids channels we used to use in public education to see if it made it there 🙈 #i doubt it #but itd be funny #especially if koo koo kangaroo did it

Me at any given moment: BLUNT THE KNIVES BEND THE FORKS—

#it’s such a bop #i wish we got more of the dwarves singing #i love that song is an important part of their culture #same with the hobbits and elves like YES LADS SING #anyway that’s what Bilbo Baggins hates #lord of the rings #lotr #the hobbit #bilbo baggins #thorin oakenshield #gimli son of gloin #lotr dwarves #kili and fili #fili and kili

Anti-Hero, a song about raging mental illness, painful self-destruction and deep-seated self-loathing, has absolutely no right to be so full of catchy hooks and beautiful falsetto notes and be an all-out banger 🤣

#taylor swift #anti-hero #midnights #shifting back from my speak now era to midnights appreciation #sometimes I can't believe how much of a cultural Moment this song became last year #I'm like 'do you actually know what it's about because it's 😳' #but on the flip side we all Stan a queen and if that means I hear bops on the radio all the time I'll allow

[marsixm]

the thing thats really driving me crazy about the you know how to ball i know aristotle touch me while your bros play grand theft auto thing is my brain cant parse how those fit together with music, like the cadence doesnt scan, which makes me curious to go see how it sounds, but i REALLY dont want to listen to that fucking album

#and like i dont like the cultural impact on mainstream shit or stan culture that ts has been causing #BUT! i AM willing to bop to her tracks now and then! it has been noted! #these albums sound like a nightmare tho

lol today i was talking to one of my pan friends and she mentioned how she has a tumblr but never uses it and i was like "lol i have a queer positivity blog" and she got all excited and started asking about it and i said that i usually try to stay out of discourse but some people (battle-ax bisexuals) tried to rope me into it a while back because i said pan people were valid

and she misheard me and thought i said "WEREN'T valid" and i was like no honey no i love pan people so much

anyways if ur pan i love u and ur valid and bi/pan solidarity is very good and cool (and we should kiss)

sincerely,

ur friendly neighborhood bi person :)

Apparently tumblr hates my concert photos and keeps eating my posts with my tag essays so HERE U GET MY CONCERTPOSTING TAGS SEPARATE and I'll try the photos again after BC if I type this one more time on my phone to lose it I'll scream

#franposting #ANYWAY. 3rd times the charm. lets see how much of my stream of consciousness i can remember #made eye contact with JD and shared a smile and that is the closest i will ever come to expressing my gratitude #for his work has saved my life and my soul over and over and over again #a boon and a comfort. and knowing that someone else has gone before? had felt it? understood it? and learned to live again #i want to live again. #absolutely broke my voice on this year #smthn about a room full of ppl screaming there will be feasting and dancing in jerusalem next year #??? nothing will ever replicate that. nothing will fill my soul the same way ever again #they played a good mix of new stuff and old classic concert bangers #ans ALSO stuff not usually in concert rotation (it froze me) #AND some stuff that i rlly just love. like hebrews 1140 my beloved.and some new force galesburg #ugh. just. so good. i was worried about being a weirdo loner #but the atmosphere was generally chill. more than half the ppl looked like gays at brunch chronically on tumblr ppl #so at least i wasnt worried about being The Most Awkward or getting murdered #also the opener was a nb southerner ans i dont do country usually #but there were. some bops #and they were hilarious in conversation #and just! smthn about loving your culture even if it doesnt love you #and you can reclaim it and enjoy it and the bigots dont get a monopoly on it #it meant a lot even tho im not from Tennessee obvs. #also the religious dynamic. the judas references. the line about glimpsing god thru the curtain. the fervour hunger metaphor #ugh. soooo good. thank u adeem the artist #anyway. i will find a setlist tmrw #i am too fuckin tired rn. got home at nearly 1am. thank GOD i took tmrw off work #tmg

nobody:

14 year old me listening to time (clock of the heart) on the radio in the back of some rando’s car:

#such a bop #there was this radio station that was always playing culture club for some reason #multiple times one of their songs will pop on my playlist #and ill remember some weird memory #and im like “uhhhh…the fuck?” #my humour is weird memes only i can relate to that are mildly questionable

[authenticaussie]

What should I call the star trek au....

#IT'S NOT A G O O D STAR TREK AU #it's 'i was reading a star trek fic that was an au for the untamed while Just having finished a fic about kon' #'and so ended up thinking about kon & What Would It Be Like in a world where actually aliens DO exist and are commonly known ala star trek' #'AND IF YOU'RE AN ALIEN CLONE BUT RAISED AWAY FROM YOUR CULTURE ETC. BECAUSE YOUR CREATOR SUCKS WHAT DOES IT DO' #bip bop nari drops #i just. clark having a hard time. kon having a WORSE time. trying to be palatable for humanity..... #waaaah <333 #anyway it's not a star trek bc I don't know enough about trek BUT i am. stealing vulcans for the Kryptonians #i know they have their own lore ima steal that too #IDK!!!!!!! #title hard

[smol-blue-bird]

Six the Musical would be about thirty billion times better if they just removed all of the outdated memes and cringey slang

#so many of the songs are bops! #but then Anne Boleyn says “epic fail” and you just cringe into oblivion #I feel like it’s a bad idea for Broadway musicals to include so many pop culture references in general #they take so long to get through the development process and onto the stage #that all of their pop culture stuff is bound to be outdated for several years by the time they even open #DEH suffers from this too (less because of slang and more in its portrayal of social media) #(although tbf that’s one of the least egregious things about DEH. I hate DEH) #anyway

therapist: glowing red eyes pogchamp freddie mercury isn't real, he can't hurt you

glowing red eyes pogchamp freddie mercury:

#living on my own is a bop. please listen to it #and the music video is so extremely 80s Gay Culture it's incredible #99% sure a guest arrived to the party dressed as frank n furter #my posts #freddie mercury #music #living on my own #music video #80s

I know this is probably too niche (except for the few fellow Irish people that follow me), but this dude is amazing

There's shit going down rn here with the national broadcaster (shady dealings - the usual)

but he made this song based around stuff that came out during committee meetings to get to the bottom of it

#he does this with pop culture stuff and it's so funny #he's really talented #michael fry #irish stuff #lmao #Youtube #It's a bop - been in my head for days

[terrainofheartfelt]

do you think blair or serena is more anti-hero

It is both of them, but I raise you this: it is most Jenny Humphrey

I mean, the parallels!

I wake up screaming from dreaming / One day, I'll watch as you're leaving / 'Cause you got tired of my scheming and You say that now, but I'll do something to let you down, then you'll turn your back like everyone else.

and the repeated refrain of I'm the problem, it's me with No one is forcing you to be here and The only thing that needs to get back to normal here is you.

"Anti-Hero" belongs to Jenny Humphrey the most.

#i said this in the discord before I received this ask #and now i am only more certain of my choice #it's loving jenny hours #it's a bop that song #my pop culture podcast gave a very good review of the album that i really do agree with #(in that it's not her strongest and feels more like a regression than a progression) #but i disagree with their opinion of being over the 'i'm the problem' stuff in her songs because it is so... #that's what being a woman in your 20s feels like. like we're all carrying damage and it's because we're worse than the next person #and that we deserve our pain more on some level #but also: i support women's wrongs #and anti-hero and vigilante shit fuck. i love the goodbye earl instinct in my music #asks #anon #gg meta #my best girl jennifer tallulah humphrey my sweet summer child you deserved so much better #though I think this could also fall under my thesis that blair and jenny are the same. #two girls screaming to be loved while being so so afraid that they never will be worthy of it #i'm high and rambling in these tags now i'll stop
