Goaty Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I LOVE the format of message boards but unfortunately they’re kind of a dying platform in general. They provide a much better format than something like Twitter (or even Reddit) for discussing music and pop culture - so I stick around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wish Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Pop culture/pop music overall. Also I'm low key a marketing nerd so I'm into the album campaigns, single rollouts, radio adds, streaming numbers, etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpiosGroove Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 both but also when you stan someone as out of touch as Beyoncé you have no choice but to sit in places like these to get some news/insider info… god knows she won’t tell you **** 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrokenMachine Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 When I first entered here I was such a data nerd about charts and all of that stuff, but I got bored of it after some time. The mess from some threads is also funny to watch Now this is my primary source of information when it comes to pop culture news, and it also includes some of my faves. It used to be Twitter, but it becomes way more awful as the years go by and you get attacked for just existing Also, I like this whole idea of stan bases interacting with eachother, it gets a little problematic sometimes, but overall it's a nice experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Year of Shadow Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I officially joined ATRL because of the Pokemon Rates tbh. Stayed for Games section, video game talk and the overall funny atmosphere of the site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Year of Shadow Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Also I think ATRL has a perfect balance of not too many people that you feel like your posts get lost in a void, and not too small that it feels dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dussel_06 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Because I stan Taylor. Lol. I won’t be here if not for her. I have better things to do, like browsing lpsg. That’s why I don’t enter threads that’s not related to my fave unless it’s very controversial. Like who has the time?

MusicLoverDude Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 In general I just love music. I've been a member for 15 years now. I don't get involved in stan wars anymore. I post my genuine opinions and stan what I love. I'll be 30 in less than 3 months so the healthiest way to remain an active member on this site is to just avoid all the Stan wars. Show your support for what you love but don't waste energy on stuff you hate. This is also why I've kept my username and profile picture in neutral states. People will find out who I Stan based on my comments, not my username or profile pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liafen Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Ooh boy I registered during the Roar/Applause release week. i jumped in the TRENCHES I don’t “stan” Gaga anymore but still am a big fan. Closest to stanning would be Pink since I keep up w/ her and I’m usually skullldragging her ass somewhere in here but I guess I am here for the pop culture too. I like reading about it for a good 1-2 hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I came as a Gaga stan in 2008/early 2009 and I have my main girls but I'm just here for the whole thing. I love to learn things about people I normally wouldn't check out. The overall taste is very basic on this forum which is sometimes frustrating for a music nerd so I just stay with the alt-girlies. Being on ATRL means you know a bit of everything which is also helpful for my job at a record store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianSolo Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I just love pop culture, in general, and I like the classic forum format. Being on here reminds me of a simpler time, when life wasn't so complicated; it's a link to the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I stan Taylor, but I’ve stanned since 2008, so long before I joined ATRL. I discovered ATRL through something Taylor related, but I joined/stayed because many of the other pop girls I’m also a fan of are discussed here, as well as music in general (even if it does lean heavily Top 40 pop, which isn’t the only type of music I listen to). The only other place to for any kind of similar discussion is Reddit, and…yeah. Since 2016, ATRL has been the go to place for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor fanboy Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I joined because I loved Taylor and wanted to keep updated on how Speak Now will perform since it was the best album I’ve heard for all my life back then (still one of the bests). And then I learned “stan wars” etc. and stayed for the kiis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alldeezy Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I joined back in 2007 just to learn how to make gifs I only stan Allday & Denis stoff and believe me this forum is not a place for them (plus pre 2015 I never heard they existed).. I just stayed because I liked the community back then and the YTT sections plus I discovered Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Kerli, Selena Gomez On This Site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandicha Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 i joined this site because at the time, i stanned a few pop girls but the more that i found out about them because of this site, the less i stanned lol i don't stan anyone anymore, i'm just here for fun and mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Boy Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 14 hours ago, perpetual novice said: I consider myself a music nerd in general and ATRL is the best place outside of Reddit to talk about music, pop music/culture related or not Same here, I'm a Slave to music and Pop culture in general Also working in the music industry so ATRL is really helpful on the daily since you can be sure any news will be posted here in a minute. It made me win several points with my boss since he's always pretty impressed at how I'm aware of the music industry last moves. That's why I'm always having a good laugh when some idiots here try to shade me for being on this forum since 2003,ignoring that it bascially helped my career big time 14 hours ago, Erreur2 La Nature said: None. Yup. I made an account years ago because I was stanning an artist. Nowadays I only come like 15 minutes a week to read some entertaining news and to post a few shades and have a good laugh Yeah sure @Power love @BionicWooHoo @Wewee @WalkAway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watermelonshake Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I just really love music. I like coming to a place that's fairly active outside of twitter and reddit. I like an older type of forum like this, reminds me of 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
