I rly miss how it used to be with album releases. Back then we’d get teasers, 2-3 pre release singles that were all well promoted and given a music video, playlisting, and radio play, we’d also get an album announcement/trailer and tour announcement a couple months after the album. Nowadays it’s just a lead single announcement, album release 2-3 weeks later and MAYBE a tour and that’s it, we all move in the span of 2 months if that. We need to make album eras longer again

[@kevinnunez2516]

Not to mention, no one doing post-album release singles anymore, it’s just the lead and maybe a promo single before the album and after it’s crickets

[@daylighthabit]

i think it’s also the way artists announce the tour for the album before it’s even released. fans who want to see that artist live will buy tickets but people unsure about liking the album the tour is for or just the general public don’t tune in especially with ticket prices these days. i just feel like eras for albums outside of the artist’s fan base don’t exist anymore with how we consume music, which is really sad.

Kpop is having the same issues!! I used to be able to look at a photo of a group and tell you exactly what era it was from just by the member's hair/styling. Now they only promote each comeback for 2 weeks and then release the next comeback just within a few months. Groups are even dropping comebacks mid tour which is so confusing cuz you don't even have an idea of what the setlist is gunna be then. It's like we've hit the over consumption era of music, companies are pushing for quantity over quality and it's back firing cuz everyone is just content fatigued. I used to use music as a way to cope about working a shitty 9-5 but now keeping up with my favorite artists feels like a chore.

the dropping comebacks mid tour is SOO true like it's so overwhelming tbh 💀 how am i supposed to keep up with a tour AND whole new music at once?

[@emiros]

No offense but K-Pop has never been about quality or artistry, I don't remember his name but a few months ago one of the CEOs of one of those companies literally said that K-Pop is a business model and not so much a music thing, the fact that they usually have a "visual" in a group whose only job is to look pretty but barely can't sing says everything about that industry. The mass release of multiple albums during a year is also not a new thing, that has been happening since forever. I won't deny that there are talented idols that may create some actual good music but that's always the exception and not the rule.

The worst part is this fake love hurts the artists the most, cause they have a false sense of what the actual fans like and gives them false hopes. its cruel. i think with normani it was all rooted in what she went through with 5h and the discrimination, which also explains the camilla situation and your comment about the hate being reflected on streams and sales but not the love. They say they wanted normanis album but they didnt want her music deep down, they just used her pain as a way to victimize her so that they could tweet about how much they will support her cause shes a black woman and how much they will not support CC in return. In the end they lead on normani with the false idea that she would be received with love and excitement whenever she returned, only to realized people moved on to someone else

[@starheartskull15]

i think some people forget camila also got a lot of hate because of her racist and ignorant comments and views… it’s not just about hating on her for fun or cuz someone doesn’t like the music. but it’s true, if you don’t like someone for whatever reason, just leave ‘em alone!! i don’t like camila cuz of the racism and cuz her music just isn’t my taste but that’s why i haven’t listened to her in years instead of complaining about it

@@starheartskull15 I agree, but people do change and grow. In society we are asked to give murders, rapist, drug dealer, pedophile, etc, another chance. But yet people want to hold something against someone that happened when they are 13/14 years old.

Sabrina has been giving us the album cycle with Short N’ Sweet

[@StxtchKiss]

While I definitely concur that stan culture plays a part it’s also due to the artists themselves as well. Nobody promotes their music seriously anymore. Normani took 6 years to drop her album and then left it for dead. Not a talk show- hell not even a tweet. Ariana gave eternal sunshine a little bit of steam with the singles and remixes but it’s well known that wicked is her primary focus and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. Beyoncé too, she’s well past the point of needing to do shows and performances for people to want to listen to her- but she did it too for Cowboy Carter. Just a tweet of the cover and a launch date. Charli is fr the only one not letting her album go to waste. She hops on tiktok and dances to the sound as soon as there’s an inkling it’ll become popular. Same with guess, now we have a Billie remix. Overall it’s a combo of things imo. Also part of the reason Ariana is who she is today is because of how that label made her work, you couldn’t walk 5 minutes without hearing problem or break free when they came out. They had her singing on stairs in Tokyo to Jimmy Fallon, no one does that anymore.

[@harasnicole]

I’m always impressed by your in depth analysis of whats going on in pop music/culture and you’re so right. Camila’s album was one of my fav releases this year and it got a very unfair treatment because people cant think for themselves. I hope she has better luck with her next project with no cutthroat khias piggybacking on the hate train to promote their «era»

[@ghostin3274]

BRAT is literally doing better than C, XOXO????

[@jordanhaller8973]

You were spot on with Camila. People simply didn’t listen to the album and just compared her to Charli, and considering Charli and Camila have been supposedly good friends for YEARS now, it was very weird of her to post that video knowing how much hate Camila gets for just breathing. Cxoxo is honestly a really good album and Charli could’ve supported her and it could’ve been a moment for both of them, but she chose to cause just another hate train for Camila

[@AdamZugone]

To be fair tho the first information about Camila's new era was all very reminiscent of Charli. I was actually surprised when I listened to the album that it was very different from what I expected, because everything about I luv it - the name, the chorus lyrics, the font style used, the fact that it's such a different vibe comparing to Camila's previous work - it was all giving Charli, and then the album name C,XOXO, you read it and it just looks like Charli xcx. I get the meaning, but at a time where Charli is getting really mainstream it was on everyone's minds. I honestly think either it was on purpose to garner some attention or it was poor choices that made her look like she was trying to copy Charli's style.

[@ytd3772]

Charli clearly wasn't really a good friend then.. incredibly selfish🙄

[@EntrEsprit]

Regardless of Charli though, Camila just sadly didn't do a good job of putting the album together. Why make an interlude instead of a song with Pink Pantheress, what was that separate Drake song for, it's just messy in many places

I'm glad you made this, I totally agree with what you're saying.

Really grateful to have your community for that.

[@izzyisabrat]

i think stan cultures only gonna get worse. at this point theres no fandom i enjoy being in coz its all so toxic

[@spawn3721]

Honestly I miss when albums actually felt like ERAS, with their teasers, promos, tours and everything. When artists released 1-2 maybe even 3 singles then the whole album and release another 1-2 singles after that, idk in a certain way it almost like it injected life into the album and made it feel ALIVE, think about albums like Dangerous Woman, 1989, Prism or Born This Way, they felt like true eras in the artists' career and today I feel they closest we've gotten is with Brat (Possibly with Short n Sweet too)

[@winkkplight]

arent olivia's albums rolled out like that? Like her eras are disti nguishable esp Sour. And with Guts, she released like four mvs; 2 before and after the release of the album. And she kept the aesthethic all throughout especially that she gave various performances and also a world tour after that. It's literally an era.

[@iwouldgiveyouthemoon_]

@@winkkplight guts was defo like that but it's also clear that she's not as chart obsessed as some other artists so guts wasn't quite as visible in the mainstream (vampire did go no1 but it was defo not as big as sour)

[@tarathoughts13]

⁠​⁠@@winkkplightit is an era but I feel like since Olivia isn’t as chart crazy or media crazy as other artists, she doesn’t really promote her music as much, like besides a couple performance on Kimmel and here and tehre, she doesn’t really promote as much, she just releases the album + a few mvs, and then just goes on tour and lets the music speak for itself. So like you don’t really see her like performing at award shows (besides the Grammys) like the vmas, or like on pap walks that often, she’s naturally a quiet person so I think she just stays to herself a lot.

[@tarathoughts13]

SAME. as a swiftie, my biggest gripe with the new ‘eras era’ that Taylor is going through is that I feel like we really lost a crucial part of the previous album cycles which was the actual era, like remember during reputation or lover when she would change her whole instagram set up, hint teasers of what’s upcoming, even with midnight when she did midnights mayhem with me. I feel like we got NOTHIGN with ttpd besides the music and 1 mv, and that sucks bc I feel like ttpd is such an interesting album lore wise and even concept wise, and I would love to hear her thoughts about it, see the live performances, etc.

[@brendanthornton]

stan wars have ruined music all together. recently, it’s been about who has the most streams and what’s charting the best, and which concert has the most ticket sales, to the point where it’s not even about the music. we can’t even appreciate the good stuff. not to mention, people don’t even LISTEN to albums anymore, and just categorize a whole album based on the single(s). it’s just really disappointing to see people think this way.

I agree with this SO much. Something important I feel to mention is stan culture has completely diminished the joys that come with “moderate success”. Artists seeing their songs and albums finally even debuting in the charts in the 50-100 range is still a HUGE achievement and yet stan culture just ridicules them. There are SO many artists that would kill to even chart at all and when they finally do, the internet tries to rip their happiness away because they’re not on the top spot.

[@thomashavard-morgan8181]

Streaming is really what killed ''the era'', if we go back to an album like Teenage Dream, you had two legitimate options physical or digital . It meant for the most part songs weren't heard before they were announced as singles, which gave time for them to rise organically. You would then need to also need to create a video and promote to sell that single. Now the whole album is available immediately and songs will go viral, or be heard, before they would ever have been considered for single treatment, so why spend money on a video or bother promoting, that costs money and time and the album is doing it's thing. Now also with streaming it's harder to get a hit post album, so we get like 3 singles beforehand, all the promo and videos and the album and the era ends, because music doesn't make money and it costs to promote and touring is where the money is and that's why era's like Charli are an exception not a rule.

[@miguelcontreras-rivera5245]

i think BRAT is actually the first album to have a more traditional and “fun” album rollout/era in awhile. being introduced to it, getting it, and then continuing its longevity with a deluxe and remixes (with more to come!) all while having an almost takeover of the industry with BRAT being adopted into so many different aspects of culture and media. i think stan culture has definitely ruined a lot of the fun for other releases, but i do think one certain artist can kind of be blamed for that (lemme not name names because we know her fans don’t play). unfortunate! but a byproduct of the times we live in now i guess

@@parnianpalangbod Agreed, but I feel like there are a bunch of factors to this. One is that there are just too many releases and people can’t focus properly. Also, I think there’s been a major change in how YT filters “bot views”. Maybe they implemented this after the pandemic? And this is just from my observations, I’m not a massive streamer, I look at the video just the amount of times I need to process everything (song, choreo, visuals, looks, lyrics, etc,), so about 4 times more or less. And what I’ve noticed is that numbers fall just as fast as they rise. I remember watching Jimin’s Like Crazy and the views were dropping drastically to the point where his interview released after the MV had more views that the music video the fandom was waiting for for weeks. It was just nonsensical, that doesn’t happen like ever. It’s just sad because you know that both artists and everyone included in making the MV work so hard for it, they deserve recognition :(

[@ellam464]

I made my own comment but I'll copy it here cuz I don't think anyone is gunna see it LOL but Kpop is having the same issues!! I used to be able to look at a photo of a group and tell you exactly what era it was from just by the member's hair/styling. Now they only promote each comeback for 2 weeks and then release the next comeback just within a few months. Groups are even dropping comebacks mid tour which is so confusing cuz you don't even have an idea of what the setlist is gunna be then. It's like we've hit the over consumption era of music, companies are pushing for quantity over quality and it's back firing cuz everyone is just content fatigued.
