Yeah, I read it right after graduating college while I was unemployed for a year and drinking and smoking a lot of pot. One of the great novels imo if you're in exactly that situation. Really heavy book but it feels earnest. One of those novels I want to write an essay about someday

I'm due for a reread. I think a lot of stuff from that book is happening in America today

All I've really gathered from this and similar stories is that the digital sale charts are trivially gamed and there are companies that can get whatever song you want into the Spotify algorithm's regular rotation

I'm not sitting at home listening to avant-garde music so really I'm just a different flavor of the same thing, but yes, I'm not sure where the opposition to the mainstream lies these days

There's a difference but I'm not sure there's a significant difference when you dig right down to it is what I'm saying. But then again, maybe the whole opposition to mainstream pop is just something you and I imagined lol

For me it seems like whereas alt-pop was once seen as a true alternative, now it kind of occupies the same space as mainstream pop and moreover the alt acts are happy to be accepted by the mainstream. Some folks are Swifties and some folks are Charli XCX girlies and some are Rosalia stans

If there is any beef, it never has anything to do with the music. It's like the equivalent of twitter drama. "This artist said this other artist has bad vibes". Wish somebody would just say "Hey, your music is shit" sometimes lol

Yeah, the utopia it promises is that pop music can be totally weird and queer too, dude, but I just don't know if it ever reached escape velocity from pop music's trappings. Everything is fun, everything is danceable, everything is vibes, everything has to go down easy

I won't shit on anybody's favorite artist for no reason but let's just say this + the trend towards maximalist production has caused some RYM certified hyperpop and artpop albums from the past few years to leave me feeling nothing after I hear it, just "what were they even trying to do?" lol

so what are self styled alt pop or art pop artists defining themselves in opposition to? It's all very nebulous

Yeah, that too. Do pop songs chart because they're great songs or do they chart because the person making the song is undeniably popular for a myriad of reasons? I could have predicted that every song on Taylor Swift's new album would chart before I heard a note of it

Like I think ironically a lot of the underground acts are just better pop songwriters than the pop adjacent acts

The problem I've had with most major "left of center" pop acts is either that the experimental aspects end up becoming subservient to the pop aspects or it just sounds like nothing; a bunch of sound effects and instrumentation that signal "experimental" but the song itself is just mush

Have formative memories of being driven to school by my slightly more religious friend's mom and she played Amy Grant CDs every morning. Apparently it was enough of a thing that they had Amy Grant parody songs in 1987. Just a whole moment
