I can’t take any criticism of female artists in indie/alternative/rock Seriously bc I’m always like…the 1975 are right there
not only did these fools get big off the Most incomprehensible music that didn’t even have the decency to, at the Very least, sound Good. they’re Still dropping terrible sounding music in 2018 with lyrics like “you make me hard but she makes me weak” like LSMLSJSKS??? Sir…you are a grown ass man. and somehow out of everyone They’re Not getting clowned to hell and back?? It doesnt add up
if y’all would oppress these famous indie dudes more we wouldn’t get shit like this

“can’t shake the devil’s hand and say you’re only kidding” is the most concise and powerful dismissal of people who are “jokingly” racist and i can’t believe it’s from a They Might Be Giants song

Academics keep writing books about criticism despite the clear fact that things are just good when i like them and bad when I dont
the scene in ex machina where oscar isaac is dancing in a room full of red lights wearing a low cut top should’ve been nominated for an oscar the bit where domhnall goes ‘you tore up her picture’ and oscar isaac just goes ‘i’m gonna tear up the fucking dancefloor’ is a work of art
This new “sensitive” masculinity, where a softer voice and body, creativity and sensitivity, and sophisticated sensibilities replace alpha male imagery, is dangerous. A man aware of the phrases “toxic masculinity”, “intersectionality”, and “socialization” more often than not will use them as disguised weapons for his soft misogyny, rather than use them to interrogate his own position. Switching from one category of masculinity to another is not a solution. When given the chance, the sensitive artist will enact the same violence as the muscular frat boy, to pretend otherwise is foolish.
