I feel like the curiosity that propelled early rate culture is sadly dead.

Might partake, but that will entirely depend if I'm able to go through that awful boygenius album again, the other picks are great :clap3:

But yeah I wish Caroline made it instead.. or Lana

With all respect, in what world was a Kim Petras of Maneskin album definitive of 2023?

That's my fault for not reading "biggest" @ kimberly, but maneskin's album was definitely big, just with an audience of wider age range and less american centric too i suppose

The way I’ve heard the Amaarae and boygenius albums and don’t remember them. :deadbanana2:

 

I don’t mind if yall wanna destroy the record, but can we please agree that “Not Strong Enough” is innocent??!

It just feels niche. I don’t remember discourse about them in the broader culture. But I guess they did get that big NYT profile.

I listened to it when it came out last year and I just don’t remember it inspiring such strong feelings. Will be interesting to revisit in light of everyone’s hatred.

I get that Caroline will be on This Was Pop, but no Kelela here? :chick3:

 

This is gonna be so bad for Zach Bryan and boygenius. Will be supporting Livie and Ms. Rae with my ballot though :party:

Talked about including Kelela. She was very close, but it just felt like the narratives for a few others were stronger.

Not a criticism! Just surprised with the way everybody else was dragging them.

Well, that's patently untrue. Listening to "alright" as I type this... just patently untrue!

Caroline and Kelela - the Joan and Bette of our day - will be in THIS WAS ALT POP 2023. @supaspaz would have to be paid to host a rate with a Lana album in it!

 

Boygenius's effort, however, transcended alt lanes - they just had multiple categories named after them on a recent Jeopardy episode!
