conservatives feeling free to be transphobic on lemmy is a bad thing actually

Texas has a lot more guns than Florida, but yes both are awful

I love NV but I would not use the word gorgeous to describe it

I mean getting more than a 3rd of the population to watch anything at the same time is pretty much impossible at this point. The Superbowl in the US is the closest thing to a unifying cultural moment but the monoculture still continues to fade.

I grew up in the 90s and 00s so I'm sure I have a very different relationship with the music of the second half of the last century, but I love new wave with devo being one of my favorite bands of all time. I can also certainly enjoy some classic rock. I also love to listen to high quality recordings of classical pieces and especially love folk and the blues. I'm not very familiar with Chinese folk but would love to hear your leaf guy lol.

For me punk and other hardcore genres are a huge part of my taste but I also love Latin music, pop, emo, prog rock, psychedelic, most hip hop genres, and a lot of indie genres that are debatably separate from 'rock' but that kind of splitting hairs.

I agree with you that a lot of country is not so great but I think that has a lot to do with the "kid rock effect" you mentioned where many of those artists create propaganda at the expense of artistry.

But really my main point is there is good to be found in every genre and in the same way you don't need to be Hispanic to enjoy bad bunny you don't need to be a Chinese arborist to enjoy a man playing a leaf.

"YOU probably dislike far more musical styles than I do."

Idk maybe. I think music is pretty good most of the time.

What are some of your favorite genes?

The most recent of those two was in 2007... There have been plenty of good acts that have played the super bowl since then. I think you might just not like most music.

I'm not Hispanic or MAGA and I enjoyed it. I just enjoy reggaetón and think bad bunny is a great contributor to that genre.

He has some really great songs. Not everything that's popular is bad.

Where I live the cheap frozen pizzas are around $2.50 and the fancy ones can go over $5.

Ubisoft is run by sexual predators for a start

 

Sorry for the awful quality this picture is a screenshot from my dashcam. I saw this strange version of the American flag and can't seem to find a match online. It's like a Betsy Ross flag but an additional star in the middle plus the entire blue section centered in the stripes as opposed to being in the top left. This was captured in Orlando Florida.

 

https://lemmy.ml/c/indieheads has been without a mod for what looks like over a year now and I'm interested in trying to turn this into a real community and viable alternative to r/indieheads a community I've been a part of and was once a moderator of for several years. I'd like to inject some life into this community. Thanks.
