Maybe I’m being too charitable here but I read it as 1980 specifically. Because 2024 is also a singular year. Just scanned the Top 100 singles of 1980 and I can see it. There are some great songs on the list but the “real” 80s hadn’t emerged yet - no full embrace of cheesy synths and bubblegum hooks, plus Michael…

Just clicked on this article to see if this comment is there. I’m glad there are still some small bastions of reliability in this world.

Dammit, you ruined the only reason why I clicked on this review. Have your star.

Don’t know if you’re a Nazi but you definitely seem to have a massive victim complex. Also, I strongly suspect that everyone who doesn’t agree with your point of view is incapable of “honest online discourse” in your eyes.

Huh? I can’t get a read on your take. Are you talking about the right-wing obsession with calling everything they don’t like woke and robbing the term of all meaning? Or do you mean the original definition of woke, which is being aware of systemic injustices? If it’s the latter, kindly fuck off.

I dunno, in my opinion he was corpsing a bit too much in the 2000s.

Just started listening to this band called “Nirvana”. Excited to hear what they do next!

I think Regina Spektor is my Taylor Swift.

I agree. Four reviews at least! The AV Club is slacking with the Taylor content.

I wonder how an adaptation of Authority would look. I’d call it unfilmable but maybe I just lack imagination.

She found the premise of Married With Children disgusting because child brides are no laughing matter.

Yeah, I’m glad I’m only two of those things.

They played Out of Time so the setlist was perfect in my books.

Festival crowds are the worst. I remember seeing the Scissor Sisters on stage before the headliner (forgot who it was). People started booing and being assholes because they were still performing when the headliner was supposed to start. The lead singer’s response: “You don’t fuck with your sister!”

You know there’s always the option to shut the fuck up and not sound like an absolute tool, right?

I’ve become a sort of grumpy gaming purist over the years. I loathe microtransactions and avoid any game that features them like the plague. Luckily for me, I tend to gravitate towards indie fare anyway. Give me a complete experience like Balatro or Disco Elysium and I’m in. Hell, there’s even hope in AAA spheres…
