LET'S ARGUE: Soulja Boy Wasn't So Influential

Other topics include Pitchfork being the worst thing to happen to music, and Wolfmother being just as much of a Led Zeppelin ripoff as Greta Van Fleet.

@@Trololol-ch3te Im sure protest music still was mocked at the time.

[@Trololol-ch3te]

The Nameless One But the internet has made it way easier. A movement can become a meme before it even takes off. Like, complaining about the system or whatever in a song in 2020 is just some edgy zoomer stuff instead of actual protest for example. While back then they just had some posters,cartoons or smth like that to make fun of you. Nothing to the level of the internet.

[@thenamelessone6119]

@@Trololol-ch3te I think people have always been that way. If you grabbed a random protester from the sixties and asked them why they are involved in protests, chances are they'd answer about the same as one from today. Change doesnt come about because people are well informed and ideologically motivated, change comes when people are so pissed they are ready to kill. And if anything, the Internet has facilitated that last bit.

[@Trololol-ch3te]

The Nameless One I meant that the internet usually doesn’t take protests seriously and often it tries to make a joke out of it. But yeah it has also facilitated it with it’s reach, if u manage to blow up u blow up.

Canadian here... Souljaboy was only popular in America... he was known in other countries, but I can guarantee he wasn't hoggin any airwaves... Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever heard his songs... ever. As for American influence, I wouldn't know. Most of us up here know him as the guy who tried to sell knockoff game consoles.

Welcome back to another edition of “melon plays the bass”

[@gwakon]

I'm old enough to remember mixtape trading, rappers selling their music out of their car or on the streets...obviously this degree of "hustle" isn't needed with social media etc but the side effect of that is a lack of necessity. I honestly don't really consider newer trappy glossy stuff as hip hop as much as I see it as just a side show of the Pop market.

Monte NG JahPods >> every electronic audio device ever made.

[@puffin_time]

Just as an addition to the "music as a job" thing. Music can be a job even if you aren't signed and aren't hugely successful. I played tons of shows for years and it quickly became a tough job. Absolutely any field can become a job.

[@lordtachanka903]

Let's agree: dalek is pronounced "DAH-LICK" not "DIA-LIC"

[@SocialWalrus]

The alien creature with the plunger certainly is. Don’t know about the group.

[@ethanwebb4738]

Actually it's "DAH-LECK"

[@TheOnlyBootlegger]

The band's name actually spelled "dälek"

[@fromthe4621]

Actually it's pronounced "DIE-LIT"

Fantano is such a nice man. Always putting the title topic in the beginning

[@Bateo16]

Antonio u gotta make a video showing your basses and other instruments you own

[@alroth1035]

Curious point about the Bowie tweet, his 1976 film The Man Who Fell to Earth has his character introduce a new music format that would in many ways predict the streaming and digital formats of today - it seems only logical that the idea would have been floating in his mind since, and he'd be one of the first to partake in it twenty years later.

[@arsenymun2028]

Melon is short for Melonie. Upvote so Melone would see this comment
