LaLingo

In the early 2010s, ATRL had a large number of LaToya Jackson stans. This was highly unusual, as she was known and discussed for her reality TV career. Her stans inserted LaToya into any thread about anything, making her inescapable for a large period of time. You couldn't enter a thread without seeing one of her iconic gifs:

 

 

Her stans naturally developed LaLingo, where you insert "La" before any word. LaThread. LaBurger. LaARTPOP is LaFreefalling on LaCharts. The lingo became rampant on the website, and it got so bad that mods took action. Mods starting warning or banning anyone who used it. 

 

The legends of LaToya and LaLingo live on today, as we still have a stanbase: https://atrl.net/forums/topic/396674-latoya-jackson/

 258k stamped

it's roarritenow1 dragging artpop's first week sales

ARTPOP's release week was a bad time to be a Little Monster™. Essentially, the album TANKED -- and Gaga was the laughing stock for the entire stanworld. ARTPOP opened with only 258k. She lost the Gaga vs Katy stanwar, which their rabid fans had been insanely perpetuating for months. Back then, stan culture was much more vile and uncensored. KatyKats were rampant on this website, and they were ruthless with their Gaga/ARTPOP lashings. One KatyKat made one particular post that was lengthy, with skulldrag upon skulldrag. The final sentence of the post was something like "...now 258k is stamped on the Koons ball, and Roar will forever echo on repeat in your minds" or something crazy. Idk you had to be there.

 

 

  Demi froyo

"Demi froyo" -> Demi randomly started a feud with a froyo shop. The ATRL thread became massive. 100 pages in a few hours, all kinds of gifs and edits, it's like the whole place united to drag her.

 

Tidal free album

Tidal free album -> In 2018, during Queen's release, there was a voucher you could use to download the album even if you weren't a Tidal user (or something like that). However, there was an accident and it meant you could download any album for free with that voucher. There were members with $1,000+ worth of albums downloaded in FLAC. It only lasted some three hours or so, but it was hilarious.

Fergie's manager sues ATRL -> In 2017, an ATRL member leaked Fergie's Double Dutchess and shared it with multiple members. Fergie's manager went on Twitter and asked if someone would let him use their ATRL account.

 

Shakira to be killed in Saudi Arabia

Shakira to be killed in Saudi Arabia -> In 2019 (I think), Shakira scheduled a performance in Saudi Arabia. Some politician asked the Houthis to kill her for it. It got posted here with that title and thread became an anticipation thread, with everyone (jokingly) waiting for her to be executed. Shakira is kinda the queen of messy thread titles. There was also "Shakira found beating baby" (when Waka Waka surpassed Baby in YouTube views) and "Shakira shot with a bazooka in supermarket" (in the Monotonia video).

 

No one wants to wake up to the news i woke up to this morning

No one wants to wake up to the news I woke up to this morning. No one. I was preparing my coffee, turning on wi-fi and the first thing I read is: "Camila Cabello leaves Fifth Harmony". I blinked my eyes countless times and I went on Facebook just to see more and more posts about it. I couldn't believe it. My Fifth Harmony dream was over and there I was at 8AM sitting in my kitchen looking at the screen of my iPhone.

I know this may sound a bit too much but… Yes. Tears started falling from my eyes and they wouldn't stop. I don't consider this to be an over dramatic reaction like many of you could easily consider. I look at it as unconditional love, dedication and passion. Something unexplainable, no one can translate love into words or even admiration. Some people get your attention and you don't know why. And while I am fully aware that Fifth Harmony are not over, they're just down to four, I also am aware that it's never going to be the same. It doesn't matter if it is Camila or Dinah or Lauren or Ally or Normani. It doesn't. I saw this girlgroup being born when they were just five little girls. A few years later they turned into strong and confident women and extremely inspirational. They brought the term "girlgroup" back in the music industry and scored two of the biggest hits of this new decade. I was obsessed and extremely proud of it.

I've always been aware that girlgroups are not meant to last and that's why I flew to Paris just to see them live last year. I knew this was a fast career and that's why I spent over 800€ on this girlgroup (I've watched them live twice, I met them twice, I bought their music, I took a trip just to see them, paid hotel… You make the counts!). I wanted to live it as much as I could and looking back I am so proud of every single thing I did for them. They brought back my fan vein in a way I've never experienced before. Britney Spears, Shakira… They're both established artists and it's another story on how their careers are handled.

Every Fifth Harmony fan was aware that Camila Cabello was not happy. Ever since "Worth It" became a smash, something went wrong and the relationship between Camila and the four girls has always been weird. There's indifference and I don't know what to think. Nonetheless, I am no one to judge that. All I want to make clear is: Fifth Harmony are never going to be Fifth Harmony again and that's why I feel like my dream has been crashed. My Fifth Harmony dream has ended. It hurts so bad when you're not prepared… After all they announced a third album last week.

And no. I am not turning my back on Camila. This was a rough decision but I know what it's like to be in a place where you don't belong or feel included and sometimes... It's better to just go for it.

Yet, I always like to see things from the bright side and I am going to always support Fifth Harmony as a group just like any of the five girls as individual acts. They've had an amazing and beautiful impact in my life.

Fourth (Fifth) Harmony… Good luck. Camila Cabello… Good Luck.

Fifth Harmony… Thank You. You've given me the ultimate fan experience and you've been so inspirational. All of you.

"You're my everlasting love" Fifth Harmony, "Everlasting Love"

im missing "is katy the new paula abdul" 

the way I know all the classic ATRL moments 

Me recognising all of these, oh it was bad for me.

 

I feel like "The Becky G curse" should be somewhere in the last 4 tiers, though.
