A late step even
One of the first big steps was probably Leonard Bernstein praising the Beatles, Kinks, Zappa, Tim Buckley, Rolling Stones in the 60s. However, I definitely think that this decade has seen a turn to an even more dominant form of poptimism. Popular rock and therefore rockism basically passed away.
one of the worst moments in music journalism. The album ain't bad but it was the final victory for poptimism to reign and just ignore artists who are not easily accessible and a bit more obscure and would actually benefit from more exposure.
basically the Margaret Thatcher of music journalism ideologies.
emotion was an amazing once in a generation album. stop
feelin like mugatu right now
What speed
Normal Person 1.25x (issue being that the guitar riff doesn't work that well anymore)
Joan of Arc 1.5x
You Already Know 1.25x
y’all really forced Jai Paul’s trash ass this far
dead pegasus

yes, much better than an album of chillstep beats and weak ass vocals + some of the worst lyrics i’ve ever heard in my life
at least God’s Father is experimental

lil b was a fun meme for a while there but its 2020 now bro
tbh I would really love a longer discussion about poptimism (Culture industry being prasied by critics) but I really don't know where that would fit.
Not to disregard pop in general. I like pop music too.
List is now invalid.
Better luck next decade guys, we almost made it this time.
We haven’t done the ‘00s tho

That's true, and Im sure the rise of the internet factors into that a decent bit as well too
Also, remember when Robyn dropped Body Talk five years before the "once in a generation album" Emotion?

you know no one has even thought about J Paul since 2013 right??
meanwhile, Lil B has gotten nods from/collabed with Kendrick, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Peep, E-40, Skepta, Clams Casino, Danny Brown, Vince Staples, Chance the Rapper, YNW Melly, ASAP Rocky, Mac Miller, Metro Boomin, Chief Keef, Lil Yachty, Tay Keith AND MANY MORE.
so tell me more about how Lil B doesn’t belong in 2020???
f***ing idiot
what kind of s*** is this
you guys are acting like pop wasn't acknowledged or respected before carly lmao
“Dance” music was never respected by critics, but I think it was made without critics in mind. That’s why Aphex was called “Intelligent” Dance Music.

much better than EMOTION and i’m a huge Carly fan lol
