OT: The Avalounge: A Chicken Is Not A Sweater

[Summer Rose]

Alright guys I'm playing drop in futsal tomorrow. I've never played futsal before, is it fine if I just play in my runners???

Anything with a rubber sole will do to grip the floor, basically.

I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

Or a Wild fan.

I'd guess I am just old, but I really don't get the whole Taylor Swift thing...

 

[Freudian]

Have you played Agar Io?

It's a browser based multiplayer blob eating game, where the goal is to grow your blob and eat smaller blobs. There is some strategy to it in smaller blobs are faster and you can split your blob to either launch yourself at a smaller blob and eat it or to escape if a giant blob threatens you.

Awesome little game.

I wasn't speaking to that video (the video was funny), but in general as to why she is so popular. I'm just guessing that a near 30 year old male isn't supposed to get it.

^^ I'm 52 and I get it. She's popular for the same reasons Brittney Spears was before her.

 

[tigervixxxen]

A 33 year old female doesn't get it either. I get the young, cute, simple personal lyrics and catchy songs that made her popular but her pop stuff is absolutely atrocious. She had so much clout she could have done anything and she makes teen pop, there is no worse genre. None.

Her music is great.

For the love of god... I had work to do.

I didn't get that one either.


I just don't see the appeal of Taylor Swift.

thats terribly unfair to tswift. spears had some singing talent but thats it. tswift is very musically gifted

that igar io just took up the rest of my day...

You mean you can't relate to songs about kissing boys in trucks and getting dumped by One Direction?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

She's hot. What else is there to get?

 

[JWK]

More people should love Christina Perri, her voice is amazing.

Even my TA is bored of this 3 hour class, she's just on her laptop now.

Who says that I don't relate to that?

I guess that with music I really don't give a crap about how hot a woman is. I think that is best left up to other areas of 'art.'

 

[Summer Rose]

I like her music. It's brainless and catchy.

I've played the piano for over 20 years so I can completely understand and appreciate more complex and sophisticated music (in fact, play it myself). Sometimes your brain needs a break.

Same reason a lot of professional chefs can't be arsed cooking for themselves and half their diet is ramen noodles.

 

[UncleRisto]

I kinda liked that Love Story song back then.

 

[not a troll]

I know a lot of her songs but mostly because every fifth song on the local country station is a Swift song. It's actually handy for when I'm out of ideas on what to sing at karaoke.

I don't disagree with that, but so frequently I don't hear that as the justification. I know I probably sound like I have an issue with her or her music, I don't... I just don't get the hype.

1. Florida Georgia Line
2. Taylor Swift
3. Blake Shelton
4. Lady Antebellum
5. Luke Bryan
Repeat.

 

[tigervixxxen]

The country stuff I can understand just the teen pop stuff, which is the entry level genre for artists, is what baffles me. She could have done ANYTHING else but she does music the 10 year olds on Disney start out making.

I understand brainless and fun, I like commercial rock.

Pretty much. I wish they would try to squeeze in some Brad Paisley or Zac Brown more.
