Moment when it became like cool to like commercial pop music?

I don't wanna give too much away, but it was a little like this

reading all my posts like I'm Quavo

iirc it was a fun meeting when we all agreed on this. Good catering.

Geir Hongro was the dissenting vote but then I dropped FutureSex/LoveSounds and he was all like "AHHHHHHHHH!"

call me gotye

hurting, was this really the place for your big reveal

2012: ? The commercial but careful unassumingly cool image for the uncynical tumblr user? (Lana Del Rey and Lorde) Was it that recent?

excellent thread, and yeah, I'd say 2011 for sure.

2004?

2011 ??

turning point = 2005

reason = rachel stevens : come and get it.

(that said, surely girls aloud hit this spot given the chaos on ilm/charts at the time !)

Grimes professing her love for Mariah Carey right when Visions came out was a big moment, I think.

I was thinking of her love of Justin Bieber too ("I mean I don't get why he gets so much hate, it's really amazing what he's acheived at his age, by himself, and he's actually like a really good singer" etc). it doesn't matter whether it's genuine or not, point is it was now a thing to actively support commercialism in music than be anything else towards it, and it never really was before that.

You guys are way off. This happened in September 1992.

Great shout as an early misguided attempt. Ashlee Simpson happened though, before ironic cool tmblr wave, so she had no real options for crossover appeal other than what she tried. And it was never going to work. It was only possible for this sort of thing to work at a certain recent time in our history. The /wmv is the clue to why.

“Overrated and a Waste of Money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2014

Yes, it's a great place to chill out, but to be honest there are better (or at least just as good) coffee places to go nearby. Don't waste your money just because of the name. Go somewhere else for a fraction of the price.

This Starbucks is always busy so get used to it. Starbucks is overrated and over priced anyway. The only thing I ever get from here is an iced green tea or a green tea frap. The coffee sucks.

https://img0.etsystatic.com/028/0/5449023/il_340x270.658601286_depd.jpg

First off, Starbucks sucks. Their only good drink is the Caramel Frap. Starbucks is probably the most overrated cafe in the history of the world.

The only reason I gave this two stars is because the service isn't bad.

Starbucks is also a smoke-free environment, which is stupid. Are you kidding me? Yeah, I'm a smoker and cigarette is a compliment to coffee as much as sugar or creamer.

The crowd that comes here varies, and may affect your experience.

Unlike most, I think Starbucks is quite overrated and too expensive. When my office was nearby I went there fairly often. Now almost never and I wonder why I ever went there. The coffee always tastes burnt and ALWAYS requires "additives" to make it palatable. The pastries they sell are grossly over-priced and mediocre at best. Bread Compny or Eiensteins are always better choices.

I've always thought Starbucks was overrated. To me, they are like the Walmart of the coffee world - too ubiquitous and not as great as their reputation makes them out to be.

the brownies are good!

2004: Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone

http://library.indstate.edu/about/units/rbsc/kirk/images/sm1909_i_love.jpg

no one came to my lieder parties after that one hit the charts

everyone gtfo with this starbucks business, this is a serious thread. are we so vain ?

dudes in a room unite, you have nothing to lose but your cool

another potentially serious answer - 2003:

Ok, I will indulge in one serious response though -- I have a distinct memory of being at a hangout on a rooftop and a friend putting on Justified who I wouldn't have expected to like *pop music*, and being sort of surprised, and then finding a lot of other people I wouldn't expect were also into that record. But that was more just a watershed moment in my corny indie consciousness than in the culture at large.

even 1999 i remember hearing travis do 'baby one more time' and thinking (nb i was 15 at the time) oh! britney spears could be cool. but that was more distant/mocking and not sincere liked.

Mid 00's. Rock completely died after a laughable attempt of garage revival and hip hop took its place. So some producers like Timbaland and the Neptunes made cool to like commercial pop music and here we are.

My job is done. Weingarten showing himself as the bitter cretin he is. Face facts poptimism hacks, your a scam.

still can't figure whether tanuki will turn out to be one of the likely suspects or some heretofore unnoticed follower of rockwrite who could lurk no longer

By blasting Paramore at full blast and locking yourself in your room?

raccoon tanuki do you have bennies

JUST FUN TIMES ON THE INTERWEBZ Y'ALL

xpost IM SAYIN. ott has been my half-serious pet theory this whole time, although as some dude pointed out in the goon thread ott doesn't exactly (one assumes) know enough about rap to fake it for a troll sock identity

dude most likely spends too much time refreshing pitchfork for indie buzz bands he can mock and/or/including angrily staring at ryan schreiber's name on the masthead to pay much attention to even what p4k considers cover-able rap

i think he's mad abt interpol being stuck in the snow right now

lol def seems that way

or i should say he's mad AT interpol for being stuck in a huge blizzard as far as i could tell?

My theory: Rollie Pemberton?

OH SHIIIIITTTTT cadence weapon himself lol

I want to say RT is Tal Bachman but then RT hates DYNASTIES such as THE BACHMAN FAMILY MUSIC DYNASTY

this got weird today

this thread won't load for me, am grateful

iirc Rollie actually likes people?

RP probably wouldn't be dumb enough to say this about the assault by Masta Killa on Cheo Coker over some drawings in a magazine: Including punching smarmy snidey bullshit music journalists of the type we see posting here.

rollie is a good guy iirc and not the sort to do this sorta sockin'

No that's probably true, it just would have explained the rap knowledge.

i like the idea that we have to explain rap knowledge.

did RT drift over here from 4chan or something? his argumentative style is... the word "callow" comes to mind.

Is that why he hates america?

Yeah rollie was p chill
