Oh, you poor thing! And it’s one thing for our parents to cherish photos we find embarrassing, but if these are photos of you feeling miserable, vulnerable and trapped in an uncomfortable situation, honestly, your mom should be too ashamed to look at them, let alone keep them hidden away so you can’t destroy them.…

Ugh, that’s awful. I always assumed that these things were basically just supposed to function as an elevated form of playing dress-up; the idea that a mother might make her child do it is so messed-up. I get why parents force their kids to take pictures in general – it’s understandable to want to capture the…

Obligatory :
“I just kept putting the crying-face emoji so that I could make things not as bad.”
P.S. Notably, while bemoaning the appointment of Another White Guy to this position, Kara Brown even conceded that while she had no idea who the dude was, “No one is arguing that he’s not talented or capable.” The fact that he’s turned out to be a disappointment in that regard as well just adds insult to injury.
“He’s not doing any harm.”
Welcome to Pop! 😁
Yeah, I actually did think of her specifically because I vaguely remember her saying something about “her” songs all being the ones she either couldn’t get sold or simply couldn’t bear to sell. It’s just like... her voice is so incredible (UNDERSTATEMENT) and her songs are so personal that it’s hard to imagine anyone…
Gosh, that’s sad. What’s eerie about it is that I can imagine being in that same situation and doing the same thing just because I’m too exhausted to stop and process the situation, so there’s nothing to do but keep putting one foot in front of the other... although it now occurs to me that if that were to happen, uh,…
I always wonder about demo tapes and the people who sing on them. I understand why they’re not released, but at the same time, I can’t help but wonder about cases where the demo might actually be better than the official version, especially if the demo singer had a stronger connection to (or understanding of) the…
Woah, funky! But understandable, I suppose, for someone who has Pop down to a science. That’s what the labels are paying for, after all.
Yeah, it’s like, I can tolerate base corporate cynicism when it at least results in an appealing product, but when you end up with an inescapable torture-fest like “Can’t Stop the Feeling” that screams of nothing but pure conniving, it’s just repulsive – a phony sense of inspiration and creativity that ultimately…
Well, let me say that I am so proud of you, my lovely internet stranger! I’m proud of you for:
Well, that’s the thing, though: “I know you want it” has always been considered a relatively innocuous phrase, and it’s always been perfectly commonplace for sexual aggressors to say such a thing to someone who is clearly trying to get them to back off. “Blurred Lines” simply became incredibly popular at a time when…
When Taylor Swift decided to Go Pop, she was like, “Max Martin and [frequent collaborator] Shellback. I want THEM,” and they both co-wrote and co-produced “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” “I Knew You Were Trouble,” and “22” along with Swift; with both 1989 and Reputation, the same goes for most of the tracks…
“I got my wife pregnant with an identical pair...”
I think maybe the critical point here is not that Kanye’s mania might make him any kind of actual genius, but that it makes him feel like a genius; he mentioned in this clip that when he got out of the hospital, his self-esteem was really low, and I’d imagine it’s both because he’d invested so much of his personal…
Because it’s freaking CINEMATIC, that’s why!
I currently have the next-best thing, which came with the advantage of being 100% FREE. If you can find an excuse to poke around at a convention hall, you might just come across a booth giving these things away as a promotional item with their logo slapped on it:
