Yeah I totally agree with the lazy nursery rhyme trend. It's not clever and it's only used for shock value. For an example, Melanie Martinez has used ABC's in her song Alphabet Boy and it's very clever and thought out in comparison to ABCDE FU.
not to mention, that that was melanie’s gimmick, so the thought goes beyond just alphabet boy. it’s incorporated in her whole body of work, fashion & visuals. truly sets her apart from all these try hard “edgy” girls like abcdefu & twinkle twinkle little bitch. i couldn’t possibly cringe harder lol
@@strwbymlk That's true. Melanie's whole Crybaby album is based off nursery rhymes and children's games. And there's so much to unpack lyrically and aesthetically. Even the composition is on theme. Unlike the Twinkle Twinkle little b and ABCDE FU, they are just there to be vulgar, just there to get a Tik Tok hit. I guess it makes sense as to why they went with it, considering Melanie's songs have been having a Tik Tok renaissance. It's the age old difference between artists being creative, and corporations trying to emulate the trend for a quick buck.
@Gina Rose Couldn't have said it better. It's all just for the sake of being vulgar, hoping on trends without putting heart and effort into it, and chasing Tik Tok audiences.
Thank you SO much for touching on the issue of gruesome imagery! We truly have no way to adequately track how damaging it can be. Many of those images can trigger devastating reactions from vulnerable survivors. I work with many patients where social media is a clear factor of poor MH and my heart breaks. Be well everyone ❤❤❤❤
Kinda related, but I've noticed something similar on tiktok. I just open the app and without a single warning I'm bombarded by people uploading their abuse from their partners or parents. It's either footage of them being abused or trauma dumping.
The ironic part about fans attacking music reviewers is when some of these albums they hear it for themselves and then they also hate it but sometimes they hate it more than what the critics did.
I agree so much with the part on gruesome content. This year in my country there was a terrible accident where a young woman was hit by a bus and her body was massacred terribly in the process. There was a lot of people around who recorded the accident with their phones, took photos of her dead body and posted all over social media, there were people who even found her relatives and decided to bully them with those photos in their dms and it ended up with some of those relatives going to a therapy. It felt like the whole country has seen these photos and videos and it was considered "normal" while I was deliberately avoiding clicking at any links that led to those contents. A couple of months later my friends from a group chat made a reference to the girl's name and I expressed that I didn't know who they were talking about and they were very surprised that I didn't know and immediately pulled out the links to those gruesome videos of her death and started sending to me (even though I didn't ask for them, I only said "I don't know who you're talking about" not "can someone explain to me who it is"). At that moment I remembered who they were talking about and didn't click at any of those links but the fact that they felt it was alright to share them among friends and they had them saved just to be able to pull them out within seconds months after the accident made me feel like we belong to two different species of human.
That is horrible i’ve always thought that taking pictures of/recording a deceased person or gruesome accident’s is inhumane. I have no idea what the thought process is.
Also in germany was an accident when guy was driving a car wihout his head and it was all over polish internet because people that found him were polish, it was trending On Twitter for good couple days and it was honestly terrifying
Yeah, but you can hardly criticize them because it’s always the response that “ you just don’t want girls to embrace their sexuality”, or some shit. It’s really stupid. I was one of those teenagers impacted by this idea that my femininity and my value as a person depended on my sexual activity and sexualization of my body. As a result, it has done nothing but negatively affect my life. But no one will be accountable for it because there is still the mentality that open expression of sexuality (and even nudity in some insane cases) is prime female empowerment. Like literally just not too long ago there were so many scandals about adult women on only fans, encouraging there, underage viewers to sign up to only fans when they would become legal and use affiliate links to do so. I don’t understand why some think that sex and biology education has to also encourage overt sexualisation of girls. It’s beyond me.
Honestly, I just wish people would stop commenting on whether or not a girl’s clothes are overly sexual because either way it places pressure on girls to conform to certain/different misogynist expectations and terms (slut/prude, sexually liberated/sexually repressed, etc). This way girls can choose to wear what they want without having the entire internet and their parents in their head as they do so and just dress for themselves. However, this is unrealistic of me as we’d need to change our entire culture 😅
Chrisean and Blueface definitely needs to be left in 2022. Im tired of both. It’s quite distasteful to those who have encountered and/or know someone who is a survivor of DV.
i hope we as a community stop talking about people who are clearly acting out and saying awful things just for attention, we deserve better than their neediness that adds nothing to society, let them vanish until they actually bring something new to the table.
MY POINT! Social media flags absolutely anything such as a minuscule joke that offends almost nobody, yet we choose to post traumatic events for views. DISGUSTING.
I think Beg For You by Charli XCX and Rina Sawayama is another great example of a song which started as a sample but was able to become something new and inventive using the artists style
Stan's being a thing is a trend that became a lifestyle that should have died the moment Eminem rap about it. Yet still people choose to see it as a badge of honor that you would go to the length of making death threats to people if they don't give your favorite musical act the score, or award that you decided that they deserve.
I’m baffled by Stan culture as well. They don’t know these people but spend all their free time defending and worshipping them. It’s embarrassing and a problem.
Eminem encouraged them. Pls. He’s a hypocrite. Stan’s have existed for CENTURIES, way before America or Africa was even colonized. All the way to Jesus and before him.
literally. they will defend their favorite artists by being an asshole to anyone else who doesn't worship them like they do. i could talk for hours about how toxic stan culture is it's truly horrible and only getting worse and more people are getting sucked into it.
And when you call them out, they always say that Stan “has a new meaning”, and then proceed to tell you the literal definition of a FAN. Fans are unproblematic, Stans are toxic and damaging. Just be a fan.
I wish people would stop hating on artists JUST because they are popular. no, you don’t look cool by hating on Taylor Swift. No, you’re not 100x better than everyone else just because you listen to smaller artists only.
I’m so tired of artists sampling and interpolating hit songs from the past. It’s the music equivalent of remaking films and like- can we have something new and fresh??????
I mean it can be seen as a homage or tribute to the songs of the past. It can also let a new generation of music lovers search and listen to the old songs, making the old songs relevant again. Sampling isn't as bad as people make it out to be.
@@sergel2108 it can be seen that way but only in moderation. the music industry nowadays is so oversaturated with remakes that it feels like a trend more than any 'homage'
Not only is Quavo traumatized by life by Takeoff's murder, he's probably processing the fact that the whole world watched it. It's unfair to Takeoff and Quavo. I agree that gruesome videos must be regulated. We've been letting TMZ be awful for way too long
We have to stop glorifying toxic relationships, toxic music, toxic negative people alone… are we done with so much sexualization and we are tired of songs that are are less than 2minute. We need more VISUALS & ART! STOP reusing so much music from the past and sampling… we get it, it’s reminiscent but get creative. AND the fans need to CHILL and stop getting so aggressive about their favorite artist.
LAZY SAMPLES. Thank god I'm not the only one who felt that so strongly this year. I worried I was getting too old by recognizing so many samples so easily, but honestly it's the laziness that's really making it more apparent, not age. It's so boring and so lazy and I hate every single one of those lazy sample songs, especially the one that sampled Never Gonna Give You Up...
I just hope that in 2023, the charts finally get out of this ridiculous lull that it's been in since the end of last year, and we actually start getting "interesting" new songs instead of relying on songs from a year or two ago that are still hanging around (or really old songs that get popular again because they were in a TV show or something) to be our "current" big hits
The lazy Sampeling is something we in Europe have been dealing with for a while. European songs will be ccopy and pasted with an american artist, but in English in stead of the native speach.
Some older songs do this really well. The Next Episode by Dre and Snoop is 2 minutes and 41 seconds. Still holds up as a well-versed and well-produced song today. It's a matter of getting your point across in a unique way.
I feel like the other two were kinda dragged down by how many duds there were Last year had some great highs and many cavernous lows In comparison to this year where weve had some nice highs but not so bad lows
I do want some newer acts to actually blow up. I have heard a lot of amazing acts on tiktok and UA-cam but you have to dig so deep to find them. The ones that blow up and have an industry push don't seem like they will have longevity but the acts that really feel like true artists are being pushed aside and are fighting tooth and nail to be seen. Idk I feel like the industry used to really scout for new artists, now that its more accessible it has become lazy and just looking for what 20 sec. sound is popular (for all of like 10 minutes)
super agree!! I’ve found some acts I like through socmed (ex. FLO), but I agree that we need to see the artists that fight for their place become successful more
I don’t know because a lot of the time when these good artist do get signed, it ends up being a mistake. The labels end up keeping them on retainer essentially. They don’t promote them or let them release the music that made them so great. Their careers fizzle out.This has happened to Tinashe, Normani, etc.
@@LoveK1 that is true. I guess I mean like I wish record labels would really take a risk and bet on new artists. If they make amazing music independently, give them a push in the right direction, see how there first album or two turn out and go from there. They give up on new artists way too soon.
Thank you for pumping out so much of this quality content. I’m here for every piece of commentary, addressing everything we are thinking is so refreshing
Thank you for drawing attention to the gruesome videos, it’s disgusting! I deleted twitter because of the amount of animal and child abuse I was being exposed to.
1. I’m glad I found your channel in the past year. Quality content, earnest perspectives, and extensive knowledge! 2. HEAVY on the Halloween thing. Dress up in the costume and enjoy the costume! 3. See #1
I’m glad you mentioned sampling cuz that’s the first thing I thought about when I clicked this video. The lazy ones are the worst like you mentioned but I honestly personally hate all of them. Even the songs that are legitimately really good like a summer renaissance, 7 rings, etc. I just get so put off with the samples
stans really need to chill, and i say this as a stan. at the end of the day, critics are just doing their jobs, and i don't get why people are so bothered by what a single publication said about an album. there are hundreds of thousands of people giving that same album a 10/10, so why be bothered by another person saying it's a 7/10, especially when it's not a bad score like you pointed out?! i feel like people have to take a step back sometimes. fandom is supposed to be fun, an outlet, not a reason to attack people.
@@nbabackcourtmediawhile I don’t know about Roddy cause I haven’t listened to him after LLF, but the others I fully agree with you! That list is just the surface too. I feel like so many artist go unnoticed for the good projects they put out and people just say rap is bad now or there isn’t good music. Keep telling people stop looking in the gutter for gold cause all that’s there is trash. Radio and mainstream playlist
I agree with the sampling I love a sample but not when it’s literally the same song a good example of a sample I heard recently was coco Jones double back sampling svw rain
Mark Grondin who goes by the name of Spectrum Pulse here on UA-cam actually gave up giving albums scores in his reviews this year on his channel because of fans giving too much emphasis on the score and not on the review itself like I agree giving an album a 7/10 is not "terrible" it's constructive criticism that's their job to give their thoughts and critique on an album whether it's UA-cam music critics like Mark and Anthony Fantano of the Needle Drop or a major music critique publication like Pitchfork and Rolling Stone it's their job plain and simple music is subjective at the end of the day just because a critic doesn't enjoy an album doesn't mean you have to take their word and just because an album is not a perfect 10 doesn't mean they hate it and that you have to berate them either
THE LAZY SAMPLES omg YES! Leaving Blumenace and Crazysean in the Past YES YES YES. I’m so sick of them. They’re abusive towards each other and volatile.
I blame Melanie Martinez for the nursery rhyme pop, but the music she’s inspired is so much worse than anything she’s actually dropped herself. It is sooo creepy and weird. Why do you have to make sexual references while your music video takes place in a child’s room and you’re singing twinkle twinkle little star, Leah Kate? Keep your weird kinks out of your music. It makes my skin crawl
It's good sampling its done right because everyone involved are talent, seasoned musicians that know how to interpolate music. Like Nicki's always been a creative person when it come to interpolating song lyrics/melodies/rythmns etc from other musicians and even genres. However, going into the discussion about sampling I think it's unfair to call it 'lazy', even for the examples given - i may not like them...at all - they are song that are written by producers and artists who just want to churn our a hit/single/whatever to get their names out there. Also their young, so obviously circumstances are this may be the worst music they released in their career as they are just starting out. I take for example alot of DnB + EDM producers who have watched the entire jungle grown and evolve over the years through the use of sampling hits and remixing them, in their inception it was incredible but nowadays taking a song and slapping a nice drum pattern over it isn't gonna cut it. TL;DR sample culture is good, Nicki is good. Young pop/celebrity artists will by default make shit music because they aren't seasoned and or haven't found their strides yet.
I see an example on social media: pop stans rely so much on critics/media/chart/award show to validate their artists' existence, starving to be praised so hard. They always bring numbers to the table. While rock stans for example, just vibing the to music, debate the music quality according to their own taste and go to sleep.
Nah rock and metal fans are cunts mate. The second an artist changes their sound they get ostracized by their own fanbase and boycotted. Like all the metalcore gateway bands started taking an Industrial, alternative or punk approach to music and every metal subreddit and discussion space just fucking hates them now; hell Metallica's fanbase's gimmick is cyberbullying Lars for his entire career
Not trying to rain on anyone’s parade, but are we really not trying to hold Taylor accountable for the time she took to Twitter to defend herself using feminism about a line in the tv show Ginny and Georgia yet remained silent when her fans unleashed racist threats of death on the actress (a woman of color)? This was two years ago and still no comment from her or her team. There was also her attempt to silence a blogger for saying she should denounce white supremacy in 2017? That was just not it. And then she tells her fans to “Let (Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun) know how you feel” in response to the Masters Controversy, only to say nothing when fans released their addresses online and sent death threats to him and his children? It’s giving “I’m a super powerful person who gets my way by siccing my rabid fans on all my foes” and I am beyond grossed out by it. Someone. Could. Have. Died. Tay, I have loved you for years and spent a lot of time, listens, and money supporting you. but at this point I’m not sure about you. This is not a cute look. To her other fans, all the love to you, but it’s a bit eerie to me that your allegiance to her outweighs your principles of right and wrong. She’s been heavily criticized for her silence, and in the ways she has responded to this criticism, I applaud her. In the situations where using her voice really counts, I have indeed never heard silence quite this loud. *As a commenter pointed out, she also dated a minor in her 20s. I am genuinely disturbed by the fact so few people seem intent on calling her on her bullish!t.
She also has a predatory dating history, where she was in her 20s dating teenage boys around 17. She also has queer baiting allegations. Taylor’s goofy.
@@rileysjonger4192 I have heard about that! And yes, her You Need To Calm Down video was one big queer bait. Taylor is for sure goofy. I’m glad someone else sees it. I’ve gotten a lot of hate for sharing these beliefs online.
Same...used to be her fan, it's not that I dislike her now...but I simply stopped following her. Something is off and I realized it when I thought that if I had to take off one layer after the other in her songs, at the core I would always sense this "I'm always the victim, and the time I was the perpetrator..but yeah, I was inexperienced and innocent". And I'm not referring to her old songs, it wouldn't be mature of me to dig in her past teenage songs, I'm talking about the overall image.. (Here I took the songs as the medium to describe my impressions of her actions)
@@bebaios it’s true. That is central to her image. I’m glad to know it bothers other people too. Not because I want anyone else to be bothered, but because I feel like we should be bothered by it. ❤️ I won’t ever quite be present for her music like I used to because of this. My sense of unease towards her takes over
Leave bad concertgoers acting like they don't have home training or common decency at concerts in 2022. You pay a pretty penny to go see your favorite band. And then they have to stop the show for someone else's stupidity.
I agree with you on the gruesome content! Just recently I saw a dead baby on my feed and it was absolutely heartbreaking...they need to do better with censorship or blocking that content.
@Pink Pussy Records Lmfaoo I bet you laugh at “gaslight, girlboss” memes. 💀💀 Acting like the Ohio memes are bad, y’all goofy. There’s nothing wrong with the memes. The “boys” don’t have bad humour, especially since it’s not just dudes making those jokes. Y’all mad at jokes, LMAO.
Good that u speaking your mind. This world is definitely 90% fake driven and I hate the fact that people make credit out of nowhere. There's gonna be shit everywhere, always. But if u are open and real inside, the whole shit is blurry and u see real art somewhere. Meanwhile, real creative artists are living and I am happy that my brain isn't a dummy thing like the mainstream media/music wants to.
I want to add a trend we need to leave in the dust. Acting like Elon Musk is the second coming of Christ. Or acting like any regular person is infallible and verbally attacking another over that person not agreeing.
I have one, can artists stop releasing Sped Up/ Slowed Down Reverb of their songs, it's getting old fast. I know this has been a trend for a while (even back then) but the difference now is that labels are taking notice and making official versions of them to increase streaming activity. They add nothing and are just a lazy cash grab.
I agree so much with the saturation of these gruesome videos. People freak out over kids being exposed to dangerous ideas but no one is talking about that creepy childrens side of youtube. Kids are such a huge percentage of the people on this and much other social media.
Singers need to stop claiming they write their own music when all they do is change a word, it irks me so much and it’s kinda disrespectful to the actual songwriters who create a body of work.
the sampling one!! one good example of sampling is the song “feature me” by Flo. they took the instrumental of one in a million by Aaliyah and made it into their own thing.
I would love to see the end of the BBL era end in 2022. It would also be nice if celebrities and influencers STOP ADMITTING THEY JUST SHOWER ONCE A MONTH! They'll share that real quick, but fans wait months seeing pics of their cute babies.
Why should the bbl era end? I’m genuinely curious because I see a lot of plastic surgery shaming going on on the Internet and that seems to be fine but if someone makes fun of someone with a natural body then all hell breaks loose. I think people should be able to do what they want to do with their bodies and look how they want to look. I may be biased because I’ve had 2 BBLS but I just don’t see why it gets so much hate. Otherwise I agree with everything else the not showering trend has been happening since 2017 and it’s only gonna get worse as the years go on 😩
@@pj45queen well, bbl has cost countless women their lives but you’re right. People can do whatever they want to their bodies. I just want to stop hearing people complain about beauty standards then in the same breath say people can get whatever work done they want. The math isn’t matching.
@@LoveK1 The same can be said about pretty much anything! You can die at any time doing anything such as driving, doing your hair swimming, walking etc. surgery is a choice just like most things and there’s a lot of factors that go into it. I just think that the surgery shaming is a bit much.

Another trend: stop giving Kanye West any kind of attention and platform.

I honestly think Melanie Martinez did a wonderful job using nursery rhymes as her base. Crybaby and k-12 was perfectly used
Yeah but Melanie was not a basic B tryna be edgy she was in her own lane
she’s always that girl! she is not trying hard to be unique because she has real talent
And didn't she fund the movie and release it free on youtube?? I can't wait for the 2nd!

I said it once and I will say it as many times as I need to. No one does nursery rhymes better than Melanie Martinez
THANK YOU!!
Completely agree with this.
Not only is Quavo traumatized by life by Takeoff's murder, he's probably processing the fact that the whole world watched it. It's unfair to Takeoff and Quavo. I agree that gruesome videos must be regulated. We've been letting TMZ be awful for way too long

Honest hates the ABCDFu song, and I'm here for it. 😂
We all do 💀
The chorus of ABCDEFU sounds like a Country song.
@@wowpoopstaylorsversion3267 Sounds nothing like a country song. lol More like a beginner emo pop-punk band.
We have to stop glorifying toxic relationships, toxic music, toxic negative people alone… are we done with so much sexualization and we are tired of songs that are are less than 2minute. We need more VISUALS & ART! STOP reusing so much music from the past and sampling… we get it, it’s reminiscent but get creative. AND the fans need to CHILL and stop getting so aggressive about their favorite artist.
LAZY SAMPLES. Thank god I'm not the only one who felt that so strongly this year. I worried I was getting too old by recognizing so many samples so easily, but honestly it's the laziness that's really making it more apparent, not age. It's so boring and so lazy and I hate every single one of those lazy sample songs, especially the one that sampled Never Gonna Give You Up...
Trends we need to leave in 2022:
- Social Media addiction
- Balenciaga
Not people correlating addiction to a trend. It's getting weird here.
@Tae-Jakkob it‘s AN not A if you want to sound ‚smart‘ you little addict, educate yourself first. And get off Tiktok honey
pure irony for the first one...
I just hope that in 2023, the charts finally get out of this ridiculous lull that it's been in since the end of last year, and we actually start getting "interesting" new songs instead of relying on songs from a year or two ago that are still hanging around (or really old songs that get popular again because they were in a TV show or something) to be our "current" big hits
The lazy Sampeling is something we in Europe have been dealing with for a while. European songs will be ccopy and pasted with an american artist, but in English in stead of the native speach.
Literally 🤦🏽♀️😭
Wait really? Like which songs?
That's called translating mate
songs less than 3mins need to GO. i need a second verse, a strong bridge and an outro instrumental PLEASE.
THIS
some songs do it pretty well tho
Some older songs do this really well. The Next Episode by Dre and Snoop is 2 minutes and 41 seconds. Still holds up as a well-versed and well-produced song today. It's a matter of getting your point across in a unique way.
2022 was kinda meh in comparison to the previous two in pop
It was crazy in pop culture in general tho.
Totally agree
The only pop song that wasn’t cringey and was a breathe of fresh air, was Bam Bam by Camila Cabello
@@jordanhaller8973 No. 💀
@@jordanhaller8973 not Cameltoe-
I feel like the other two were kinda dragged down by how many duds there were

In comparison to this year where weve had some nice highs but not so bad lows
Leave the nursery rhymes to Melanie Martinez
Porn in the comments of tweets. It could be a cute video of a cat playing with a laser, and then you go to the comments….
How about we just leave TikTok in 2022? That app has become too much. Makes me glad that I don't have one.
@Pink Pussy Records, I agree
Same. I only have youtube and Tumblr 😭
Only instagram, UA-cam and Pinterest should stay ❤
I still believe that Facebook is the worst one though...
Or leaving the artists make their own music instead of forcing them to trend on TikTok...
I do want some newer acts to actually blow up. I have heard a lot of amazing acts on tiktok and UA-cam but you have to dig so deep to find them. The ones that blow up and have an industry push don't seem like they will have longevity but the acts that really feel like true artists are being pushed aside and are fighting tooth and nail to be seen.
Idk I feel like the industry used to really scout for new artists, now that its more accessible it has become lazy and just looking for what 20 sec. sound is popular (for all of like 10 minutes)
super agree!! I’ve found some acts I like through socmed (ex. FLO), but I agree that we need to see the artists that fight for their place become successful more
that or they're talented but end up in scandals
@@yona4121 Oh my goodness I love FLO (I found them on my spotify discover weekly) I really hope they blow up big we need new girl groups
I don’t know because a lot of the time when these good artist do get signed, it ends up being a mistake. The labels end up keeping them on retainer essentially. They don’t promote them or let them release the music that made them so great. Their careers fizzle out.This has happened to Tinashe, Normani, etc.
@@LoveK1 that is true. I guess I mean like I wish record labels would really take a risk and bet on new artists. If they make amazing music independently, give them a push in the right direction, see how there first album or two turn out and go from there. They give up on new artists way too soon.
There's 2 songs named after DOJA? She really is that girl 💅
they are about two different dojas
it wasn't about crusty musty doja cat

I guess that’s it
I kind of want more creative music videos and actual album projects from artist. Not everything has to be a single.
well what artists are you listening to that only singles
You’re so on about the gruesome videos on social media, I feel desensitized and hate when stuff like that comes up on my feed.

They’re not even trying with the nursery rhymes songs, Melanie Martinez is the only one that actually does it right and these “artist” should learn

2. HEAVY on the Halloween thing. Dress up in the costume and enjoy the costume!
3. See #1
the Kardashians thank God are fading
I’m glad you mentioned sampling cuz that’s the first thing I thought about when I clicked this video. The lazy ones are the worst like you mentioned but I honestly personally hate all of them. Even the songs that are legitimately really good like a summer renaissance, 7 rings, etc. I just get so put off with the samples
stans really need to chill, and i say this as a stan. at the end of the day, critics are just doing their jobs, and i don't get why people are so bothered by what a single publication said about an album. there are hundreds of thousands of people giving that same album a 10/10, so why be bothered by another person saying it's a 7/10, especially when it's not a bad score like you pointed out?! i feel like people have to take a step back sometimes. fandom is supposed to be fun, an outlet, not a reason to attack people.
I feel like this year was amazing for music, especially rap music. So many great albums this year
Rap was complete shit this past year. 😂
@@DrewRueDoomainstream rap was but everything was good
@@DrewRueDoo nah there were a ton of good projects and songs. Kendrick, Denzel, JID, Vince, Smino, Roddy Ricch, etc.
There were a lot of great projects, but also a lot of BS. Kinda ran neck and neck, but I’d say it was a decent year.
@@nbabackcourtmediawhile I don’t know about Roddy cause I haven’t listened to him after LLF, but the others I fully agree with you! That list is just the surface too. I feel like so many artist go unnoticed for the good projects they put out and people just say rap is bad now or there isn’t good music. Keep telling people stop looking in the gutter for gold cause all that’s there is trash. Radio and mainstream playlist
Heidi Klum doing the worm was THE halloween costume of 2022. and thats just a fact
I think we should leave the “obese/being fat is healthy” trend in 2022
I agree with the sampling I love a sample but not when it’s literally the same song a good example of a sample I heard recently was coco Jones double back sampling svw rain
And can we please stop calling everything that's popular overrated?
Melanie martinez is the only one who should and can use Nursery rhymes shes the only one who does it right..
I agree.. Remember that reference in Tag, you're it?
Alphabet boy was genuis
Mark Grondin who goes by the name of Spectrum Pulse here on UA-cam actually gave up giving albums scores in his reviews this year on his channel because of fans giving too much emphasis on the score and not on the review itself like I agree giving an album a 7/10 is not "terrible" it's constructive criticism that's their job to give their thoughts and critique on an album whether it's UA-cam music critics like Mark and Anthony Fantano of the Needle Drop or a major music critique publication like Pitchfork and Rolling Stone it's their job plain and simple music is subjective at the end of the day just because a critic doesn't enjoy an album doesn't mean you have to take their word and just because an album is not a perfect 10 doesn't mean they hate it and that you have to berate them either
THE LAZY SAMPLES omg YES!
Leaving Blumenace and Crazysean in the Past YES YES YES. I’m so sick of them. They’re abusive towards each other and volatile.
I blame Melanie Martinez for the nursery rhyme pop, but the music she’s inspired is so much worse than anything she’s actually dropped herself. It is sooo creepy and weird. Why do you have to make sexual references while your music video takes place in a child’s room and you’re singing twinkle twinkle little star, Leah Kate? Keep your weird kinks out of your music. It makes my skin crawl
Love Dojo's sample of Hound Dog! Thats ho you sample a song!

And there's the legend Taylor who interpolates her own song in her new song, a freaking genius
You mean Out Of The Woods in Question?.... ? 😃

You’re good-hearted and compassionate. Your words and videos make this evident. THANK YOU! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How do you feel about Nicki Minaj’s freaky girl in terms of samples? I’m genuinely curious what’s your opinion on it
It's good sampling its done right because everyone involved are talent, seasoned musicians that know how to interpolate music. Like Nicki's always been a creative person when it come to interpolating song lyrics/melodies/rythmns etc from other musicians and even genres.
However, going into the discussion about sampling I think it's unfair to call it 'lazy', even for the examples given - i may not like them...at all - they are song that are written by producers and artists who just want to churn our a hit/single/whatever to get their names out there. Also their young, so obviously circumstances are this may be the worst music they released in their career as they are just starting out. I take for example alot of DnB + EDM producers who have watched the entire jungle grown and evolve over the years through the use of sampling hits and remixing them, in their inception it was incredible but nowadays taking a song and slapping a nice drum pattern over it isn't gonna cut it.
TL;DR sample culture is good, Nicki is good. Young pop/celebrity artists will by default make shit music because they aren't seasoned and or haven't found their strides yet.
I love "Katy Perry" by Milliarden, it's german but a perfect parody to fireworks. An absolute banger
Chloe's Halloween Photoshoot made sense due to needing Storm's weather powers to pop out.
I see an example on social media: pop stans rely so much on critics/media/chart/award show to validate their artists' existence, starving to be praised so hard. They always bring numbers to the table. While rock stans for example, just vibing the to music, debate the music quality according to their own taste and go to sleep.
Nah rock and metal fans are cunts mate. The second an artist changes their sound they get ostracized by their own fanbase and boycotted. Like all the metalcore gateway bands started taking an Industrial, alternative or punk approach to music and every metal subreddit and discussion space just fucking hates them now; hell Metallica's fanbase's gimmick is cyberbullying Lars for his entire career
Never been this early before, love your content! 🥹❤️
Not trying to rain on anyone’s parade, but are we really not trying to hold Taylor accountable for the time she took to Twitter to defend herself using feminism about a line in the tv show Ginny and Georgia yet remained silent when her fans unleashed racist threats of death on the actress (a woman of color)? This was two years ago and still no comment from her or her team.
There was also her attempt to silence a blogger for saying she should denounce white supremacy in 2017? That was just not it.
And then she tells her fans to “Let (Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun) know how you feel” in response to the Masters Controversy, only to say nothing when fans released their addresses online and sent death threats to him and his children? It’s giving “I’m a super powerful person who gets my way by siccing my rabid fans on all my foes” and I am beyond grossed out by it.
Someone. Could. Have. Died. Tay, I have loved you for years and spent a lot of time, listens, and money supporting you. but at this point I’m not sure about you. This is not a cute look. To her other fans, all the love to you, but it’s a bit eerie to me that your allegiance to her outweighs your principles of right and wrong.
She’s been heavily criticized for her silence, and in the ways she has responded to this criticism, I applaud her. In the situations where using her voice really counts, I have indeed never heard silence quite this loud.
*As a commenter pointed out, she also dated a minor in her 20s. I am genuinely disturbed by the fact so few people seem intent on calling her on her bullish!t.
She also has a predatory dating history, where she was in her 20s dating teenage boys around 17. She also has queer baiting allegations. Taylor’s goofy.
@@rileysjonger4192 I have heard about that! And yes, her You Need To Calm Down video was one big queer bait. Taylor is for sure goofy. I’m glad someone else sees it. I’ve gotten a lot of hate for sharing these beliefs online.
@@rileysjonger4192 I used to love her but truthfully I cannot anymore. I just have this general feeling of unease about her
Same...used to be her fan, it's not that I dislike her now...but I simply stopped following her. Something is off and I realized it when I thought that if I had to take off one layer after the other in her songs, at the core I would always sense this "I'm always the victim, and the time I was the perpetrator..but yeah, I was inexperienced and innocent". And I'm not referring to her old songs, it wouldn't be mature of me to dig in her past teenage songs, I'm talking about the overall image..
(Here I took the songs as the medium to describe my impressions of her actions)
@@bebaios it’s true. That is central to her image. I’m glad to know it bothers other people too. Not because I want anyone else to be bothered, but because I feel like we should be bothered by it. ❤️
I won’t ever quite be present for her music like I used to because of this. My sense of unease towards her takes over
Leave bad concertgoers acting like they don't have home training or common decency at concerts in 2022. You pay a pretty penny to go see your favorite band. And then they have to stop the show for someone else's stupidity.
I agree with you on the gruesome content! Just recently I saw a dead baby on my feed and it was absolutely heartbreaking...they need to do better with censorship or blocking that content.
Lets leave the ohio trend in 22 too

Acting like the Ohio memes are bad, y’all goofy. There’s nothing wrong with the memes. The “boys” don’t have bad humour, especially since it’s not just dudes making those jokes. Y’all mad at jokes, LMAO.
Nope. It’s funny. Humour is subjective and if you don’t like it, cope.

Good that u speaking your mind.
This world is definitely 90% fake driven and I hate the fact that people make credit out of nowhere. There's gonna be shit everywhere, always. But if u are open and real inside, the whole shit is blurry and u see real art somewhere.
Meanwhile, real creative artists are living and I am happy that my brain isn't a dummy thing like the mainstream media/music wants to.
A clever name-drop must put a spin on the name used. None of the songs mentioned in this video do this.
No one does nursery rhymes into songs like Melanie Martinez
I want to add a trend we need to leave in the dust. Acting like Elon Musk is the second coming of Christ. Or acting like any regular person is infallible and verbally attacking another over that person not agreeing.
I have one, can artists stop releasing Sped Up/ Slowed Down Reverb of their songs, it's getting old fast. I know this has been a trend for a while (even back then) but the difference now is that labels are taking notice and making official versions of them to increase streaming activity. They add nothing and are just a lazy cash grab.
I was shocked when I saw artist were releasing official versions of the reverbs. I’m like, “This is what fans do, not you.”
@@LoveK1 SAME!!
That’s literally not a problem. They’re allowed to do that. You should calm down.
For real. Oliver Tree has released like 60 versions/remixes of Miss You. It’s getting annoying
imma keep it a bean with you. ion think the gruesome stuff being exposed in the internet is ever gonna stop. not with the year numbers getting higher.
Anne Marie’s song phyco is legit one of the best examples of sampling I’ve seen in a while, obsessed with it
I agree so much with the saturation of these gruesome videos. People freak out over kids being exposed to dangerous ideas but no one is talking about that creepy childrens side of youtube. Kids are such a huge percentage of the people on this and much other social media.
Blue face being known for his off beat rapping 💀😂
beyonce and nicki are the only artists that have been using samples the right way i believe
Thank you so for mentioning Blueface and that girl. happy you said this
Here's a trend in music I hate and hope stops: whisper singing. For God's sake, just sing!
Singing doesn't always have to be high pitched. It's the artist's choice what and how they wanna sing. If you don't like it stop listening to it
What exactly do you mean by whisper singing?
there is something called tone... not every singer needs to belt out all the time
Singers need to stop claiming they write their own music when all they do is change a word, it irks me so much and it’s kinda disrespectful to the actual songwriters who create a body of work.
the sampling one!! one good example of sampling is the song “feature me” by Flo. they took the instrumental of one in a million by Aaliyah and made it into their own thing.
I would love to see the end of the BBL era end in 2022.
It would also be nice if celebrities and influencers STOP ADMITTING THEY JUST SHOWER ONCE A MONTH! They'll share that real quick, but fans wait months seeing pics of their cute babies.
Why should the bbl era end? I’m genuinely curious because I see a lot of plastic surgery shaming going on on the Internet and that seems to be fine but if someone makes fun of someone with a natural body then all hell breaks loose. I think people should be able to do what they want to do with their bodies and look how they want to look. I may be biased because I’ve had 2 BBLS but I just don’t see why it gets so much hate.
Otherwise I agree with everything else the not showering trend has been happening since 2017 and it’s only gonna get worse as the years go on 😩
BBL died already
@@pj45queen well, bbl has cost countless women their lives but you’re right. People can do whatever they want to their bodies. I just want to stop hearing people complain about beauty standards then in the same breath say people can get whatever work done they want. The math isn’t matching.
@@LoveK1 The same can be said about pretty much anything! You can die at any time doing anything such as driving, doing your hair swimming, walking etc. surgery is a choice just like most things and there’s a lot of factors that go into it. I just think that the surgery shaming is a bit much.
