This was very corny. I hate all of you.

I don’t know what’s worse: associating Beyonce with “artistic depth” or the induction of “slaying” into the lexicon of corny slang. Still don’t get the talented argument people use in describing her mediocre music.

This article was great. Sorta wish the writers here were as openly critical of Beyonce and other artists who are hijacking certain images because it sells.

It’s like people have never read literature written by men. Illiterate society 2016.

I really do think it’s a matter of both. I find the content of the blog interesting because I don’t find any of the writers really knowledgable about anything— not even the pop culture they disseminate. There’s little critical engagement. I see this environment more as a place for normalizing or co-opting ideological

Sums up Jezebel:

What really gets me after watching this vid is the setting is ignored. This man is sitting well beyond the action.

Something weird is happening.

Woah.

Jezebel is really conservative— just not in the full fledged Republican sense.

Interview him because he read a book during a performance by an underwhelming pop artist whose musical acclaim is exaggerated to match her marketing spectacle? Maybe an introspective essay examining your desire to interview him would be more appropriate. Something about the incredulous belief that Beyonce’s music

Gross.

Will Amy Schumer be next?

This sort of comment is just as bad as corny fad vegans talking about 51 bananas a day.

What’s a TERF?

It’s because vegans are a minority lifestyle group. It’s a novelty to a lot of people when they begin (and subsequently quit); it’s really much more about identity status and that sort of person usually goes on to other dumb identities and does the same thing.

It’s really sad that people in this part of the internet don’t get that, pretend that Beyonce isn’t an act, and then pretend any of this pop music is art expressive of anything besides marketing calculation.

This garbage are for people who talk about “talent” in music.

But for real, you all listen to garbage. How is this on anyone’s radar?
