@rarity Yeah, there's definitely a much stronger lyrical focus in that regard. It's also interesting how there are small quirks in the production (like breaks and clips) that make the song sound not quite right without totally derailing it, so there's almost a sort of audio uncanny valley effect when you're listening to it.

@rarity I need to listen to more of it, but I think what I've heard is certainly interesting. In practice it comes across as an art brut interpretation of contemporary pop and electronic music, both in terms of composition and presentation. It tends to ride the line between critical examination of the culture of pop music as well as a somewhat audacious parody of it, so there's a lot to unpack listening to it. I dunno if "enjoyable" is the right word, but it's definitely offering eclectic insights into music construction.

@rarity I actually got into a pretty compelling Twitter conversation the other day about the artistic merits or lack thereof in regards to vaporwave (my stance being things I felt made it culturally compelling).

@rarity I mean, the actual movement's dead, but there is still some background radiation from the aesthetic.

@rarity Woah, I just checked and she does. I remember seeing Paramore live back when I was a young teen.

@rarity But I'm a government employee. I mean, FrankerZ it, you got my vote. But it won't do me cherry. Thanks anyway.

@rarity I think it's deliberately designed just to cherry people off as opposed to making any kind of insightful or meaningful political statement

@rarity I'm not a big fan of sweet onion sauce, but I'd be willing to put hot sauce on my salad.
-
@rarity So you can get whatever veggies you want in your salad? I can have have jalapeño peppers in my salad?
-
@rarity I am not convinced you could actually do that.
-
@rarity Heh. I'll be honest, I don't like Ted Cruz or anything, but that's kind of cute.
-
@rarity Eh, there's a first time for everything right? It'd definitely be a different experience.

@rarity I've been clean shaven for around give or take 2 years now. I don't remember what compelled me shave in the first place, but I guess at some point I decided I wanted to shave and go for a newer look.

@rarity I'd grow mine back out but I don't like going through the phase of having a ton of stubble because it's really itchy and uncomfortable.
