This is exactly how I feel I feel like music has been devalued too much these last few years

The average user in this forum has been out the target demographic for 5-10 years maybe some even 15 years Pop culture entertainment targets 13-23 year olds usually And that didn't stop us from enjoying it earlier this decade The last couple years the industry has completely dried up to a level that is not existent anymore

Because you don't get to be ageist with Taylor in your username, you are literally shooting yourself in the foot And calling out someone for being immature is a valid critique Calling a woman a fossil is extremely disturbing, especially knowing her story

I honestly think Billie/Olivia were the last monster debuts Both compete with some old pop stars, they will probably pass a lot of them in the long run

Coming for a woman's looks is all you have People drag you and your fave for being 40 and stuck in high school, and everything you post in this forum reflects exactly that, its a very valid critique You are attacking a woman who had a hard life and making fun of her looks and her mental state Immature, irresponsible and very stupid Tbh

I joined as a teen to this forum Everyone is "older" here tho, you won't find young people in a website pop forum, is extremely rare

I don't stan Madonna, but your replies a giving 39 year stuck in high school

Babe you and your fave are almost 40, you don't get to call anyone old

Sure TaylorSquad

She looks good, but she kinda looked younger a couple years ago ago She had a sweet spot were that she has overdone now She looks her age but still good I just hope she stops getting work done cause she is definitely in the limit

I kind of feel like 2024 was the last year of pop culture at least in the old school way

But let's be real, are Katseye and Stella Lefty really comparable to Billie in 2019 or Olivia in 2021? They are not even 1/5th as big and famous as the other 2 stars I mentioned Like hell even Sabrina who had a smaller breakthrough in 2024 felt way way bigger and her music actually felt solid

Trump is basically all she has left

I'm definitely growing up But I've always checked new music, and 2025-2026 are very very different Like everything goes too fast and nothing really sticks, everything is too fragmented The phrase of monoculture being dead is overused but honestly there is no community anymore, pop is extremely niche now. The quality of the music this last couple years is abysmal in mainstream My favorite tracks these last few months are from artist no one has ever heard of, and they are so superior to mainstream

Ngl I've noticed most artists are avoiding describing their album's periods as eras True
