I might end up getting a lot of Bulgarian music videos on my Youtube recommendations

Not at me watching a review video about some werewolf book, and suddenly having a story idea, where this one family can turn into border collie dogs. (maybe they turn into dogs every twelfth night and keep turning into dogs until Easter time)

And the reason why they can turn into dogs is because a century ago, someone in that family made an elf woman so angry that she cursed his family.

And no, I'm not going to write it lol.

and yup, that kinda sounds like that one kdrama.

I remember back when I made up a group with BTS' Jimin and EXO's Sehun, and the group was called "Boo.T". (because of "Sebooty" and "Jibooty")

And the debut song was called "Twerking in the club for no reason at all"

Well... I just discovered this group.

I thought at first that the member ITARU was a girl. (like I thought he was an actress)

I'm not a dance expert, but I kinda like the choreography. (I especially like the dance scenes in the beach)

I felt though that the fancy B&W clothes paired with old computers and VHS tapes seemed like an odd combination.

I just found out today that this week is lesbian visibility week.

edit: now I think of it, perhaps this week was too invisible for me to notice, just kidding.

Egil Skallagrímsson and Snorri Sturlusson would be shaking, just kidding.

WARNING FOR RANDOM READERS: this post is a little judgy I know. I'm a little sorry but still will state my opinion.

I don't know if I understand your question but I will try to answer to what I think you asked. Feel free to correct me if you questioned something else.

I think people in general listen to a few genres and most of them only listen to popular music. Classical music lovers are subculture, contemporary music have crickets as audience. Which I find sad but that's the truth.

I think many musical genres have it's role in our life. Popular music tends to mirror the emotional and mental state of our current time, it reflects to everyday politics, problems and trends, but in a limited and very short time with easily accessible, but limited deepness to it. Depending on one's personality and world view they choose some pop genres fitting their taste. I don't think that many kpop fans are just kpop fans, but the loud and toxic part of the fandoms does tend to be a little superficial regarding their music taste, they like the perfectionism itself in kpop. They want: good fashion sense, cool outlooks, perfect faces, perfect attitudes, cool dances, etc. and they are sooooo judging sometimes, it's scary. They will call idols ugly without a heartbeat even though all of the idols are so much more beautiful than general people because of the diets, cosmetics, camera angles, photoshop, plastic surgery, etc. But to be honest, I met many people who choose kpop for this and choose other genres for other interests so in the end they are not superficial, they just don't look for the vocals in kpop, they look for inspiration for outfits, for beauty hacks, for coolness, etc. (And again, I am stereotyping here a little, I'm sorry for that.)

What bothers me though is that today's society have this inability to experience someting in depth and for a long time. Classical music tends to require you to reflect for 2-3 long hours (or sometimes even more) about more complex topics (sometimes only more complex by how elaborately it approaches the same topics that popular music do, sometimes because it is more daring or more philosophical than popular music). It's language is less easily accessible or quite trying at times but because of that it gives you back more. I don't think that it's always more valuable than pop music (or it's more needed than pop music) but a 45 minute long symphony or a 3 hour long opera of course have more to show and discuss than a 3 minute long song. And it's a different kind of experience, it's like kpop = a poem, classical music = a novel or a book. In music. It's oversimplification but I will go with it for now.

On another note, classical music has long history without all the cheat codes of popular music so the performers are more well trained. Audience is way more critical too so they have no choice. And they do wonders sometimes. But many people don't have time for those wonders these days... well, I guess it's my problem if I have a problem with it. But it makes me sad.

At the end of my monologe: I think it does wonders for people to listen to both popular music and classical music and experience the different qualities they have.

Display More

Well.... that post makes me want to listen to more opera and classical music.

Even though I feel like when it comes to "opera", I guess I listen more to classical crossovers. (one Korean example would be Forestella)

I also listen to Dimash sometimes and I used to listen to Il Volo a lot in the past. (heck, there was a time when I had an Il Volo aesthetics on AKP lol)

When I see someone say something bad about my art, my short stories or my fanfics, I go to Charles Dickens' yard and sob in Danish while lying face down in the dirt, which annoys the ghost of Dickens.

Just kidding

Yup, that was a reference to a famous Danish author.

and that was his reaction to reading a bad review of his work.

And well... Dickens comforted him while he was crying and said that he never reads reviews and neither should he.

he's serving

Yup, he is serving beauty and hotness.

Was inspired by a few short videos that asked the same question.

Well... there is AI "art".

And there is also the thing that I forgot the name of, but pretty much someone putting paint in a cup, then pours it on a canvas and then is like "Done". (Okay, I guess I explained it badly...)

Like if I did something like that, I would at least try to be more creative with it. e.g. let the paint dry on the canvas and then paint (or draw) something on top.

I'm also not a fan of some "modern art", when the art is something like a banana taped on a wall or someone painting a canvas like a fence in only one colour. Or I just don't understand.

I have seen some people mention "jelly art style", but I'm not quite sure why there are people who dislike it.

I know that many people don't like that one Lady and the Tramp sequel, but I actually prefer that one over the original Lady and the Tramp.

But I feel like I like that movie because of nostalgia. (and the only scene that I had seen of the original, when I was a child, was the Bella Notte scene)

I also like Tim Burton's version of Chalie and The Chocolate Factory.

But I haven't watched the version with Gene Wilder. (and I know that some people prefer that one)

For movies that many people seem to like, but I don't like, is probably Taken.

Or it was more like some classmates of mine saying "Taken is such a good movie".

But when I watched it, I was thinking "Nah, it's not good."

Well... this was back when I was a teenager. I perhaps would feel different about that movie, if I rewatched it.

I wanna kiss a kitty too

But yeah, I like the song.

The lyrics are a bit silly, but it's a guilty pleasure for me.

Okay, I actually wouldn't kiss a kitty.

I'd rather give it some pets, even though I did also pet a cat an hour ago or so.
