...and while we're on the subject of misogyny - the most misogynistic products of popular culture I have ever come across was coming from black rappers. I guess it's "black privilege" to call women Hoe and Bitch unless it's your mother.

Sure thing, Sterling right on the money. Nevertheless not exactly a hopeful read.

another giant, forgotten today

Expressions of sexual desire , even crudish ones, are not "misogynist" per se, either. And the frustration of not getting laid atall (or not getting laid by the right person) is possilby one of the main sources of frustration among men AND women today.

These deflecting blame games can be executed as long as you have a (relative) majority behind you. And this can go on for a very long time. Of course, you could consider a "Trump presidency" to be a system of some sorts, and any system has a breaking point.

The only things Trump has "disrupted" is the notion "old" mass media still matters as an election deciding factor - for THIS specific election under the specific circumstances. The notion that globalisation creates losers WITHIN the US (which isn't all that new either, the 1980s up until the...

Nothing easier than that: illegal Mexicans means more police to keep them in check - more police requires more taxes. Muslims are a constant terrorist threat, more law enforcement needed, only doable with higher taxes.

Very likely, but well executed already during the George W. Bush years. Trump will likely intensify scapegoating, blaming whoever is the easiest target. My bet is on = "the liberal elite"

Trump said what was needed to get elected (meaning bring in the majorities in the states where it counted) - that was mostly "economic populist" rhetorics. He now is erecting a kleptocracy and the Republicans are fine with all of this. That's domestic/economic "Realpolitik". Is anybody who has...

The final death of Rockmusic has got to do with the fact today's kids (meaning teenage to early 20s) are the first generation growing up dominated by the digital sphere. While myself (born 1979) I grew up with computers and the net and all, but those things had a confined space and time. For...

Had a quick look louisthecat looks definitely interesting and worth reading more :cool:

Gotta admit, I don't know shit about current charts (download/stream/sales whatever), I get bits and pieces from daytime radio when in a store or waiting room. I assume, daytime radio is still somewhat a reflection of what's popular on a mass basis. Which leads me to the notion I hardly ever...

And here we are, ten years on....

methinks the really deliriously deranged/mental Hardcore stuff reached full bloom in '93 but here would be a suggestion for a release from late '92:

Yeah but that's the result of progressed digitization, which results in spooky conformity (despite the "endless possiblities" sales pitch). On the other hand pop music (and it's adjunct popmusic-subcultures) are pretty much spent forces anyways. BTW Merry Christmas

right, "mobbing" is a German expression meaning indeed bullying

Has got mainly to do with taking revenge for being neglected/expelled/mobbed and the easy access to firearms more likely. There have been four major cases in Germany in the 2000s. All of them have either dropped out of school (due to low performance) or been victims of mobbing. They had easy...
