Do people really think that lyricists actually believe all the stuff they write about?
And yet you somehow think that all posters on the internet are being absolutely literal?
I do?
i dont know, maybe? im confused.
Can you repeat the question?
You're not the boss of me noooow
That would be my inference from your post, yes.
Was thinking earlier about how, before becoming prominent crypto-Zionists, Radiohead were singing about the numbing effect of working in a cubicle job as a tiny cog in the machine of a monolithic consumerist society, but then thought - didn’t this band form at public school, paid for by their parents, and might they possibly never have worked a 9-to-5 in their life? And could they be cashing in on the aesthetic of pre-millennial salaryman angst as seen in many movies of the time such as Office Space, Fight Club, The Matrix, American Beauty, etc etc?
I don’t know. I’m usually not the type of person to hold an entire band’s worth of people I know nothing at all about- to a standard I can’t know whether or not they live up to.
I’d imagine I’d probably want to research each of them individually to determine whether or not they respectively deserve the aspersions being cast in their direction.
But that just me.
Sabrina Carpenter clearly does. It all describes how much of a stuck up, insecure, bratty cunt monster she is anyway.
Who’s Sabrina Carpenter?
A teenage witch
No, that’s Sabrina Spellman, you’re thinking of the woman that sang the song Superstar.
No, that's Sabrina Ionescu. You're thinking of the WNBA basketball player.
You're not funny.
If I’m trying to squeeze out a few laughs by asking a simple question, I’d imagine that I’d have a much larger problem than just being someone that didn’t know who this person was, and thought there’d be no issue from just asking a simple question to find out, wouldn’t I?
I mean, it’s not like I judged someone for not knowing who some random person is or anything.
Right?
I'm sorry, it just really annoys me when people pretend not to recognize extremely famous names. Feigning ignorance is a major pet peeve of mine.
If you've turned on a radio or have visited a public place anytime within the past year or so, you've heard one of her songs before. If you've spoken to more than one person outside of the internet within that same timeframe, you've heard her name mentioned at least once before.
But you already know who she is, so IDK why I waste my breath on trolls.
I can honestly say that I have absolutely no idea who you’re talking about. And frankly; if she has fans like you- I’m better off from it.
If you think I have nothing better than to “pretend to not recognize eXtReMeLy famous names” then I’d imagine your insistence that I should k ow this prison is the least of your problems.
The bigger one being that you see to enjoy assuming things of people you’ve never met and know nothing about.
I don’t listen to the radio. I haven’t listened to public radio since the late 90’s. And I despise pop music in all of its corporate-sponsored saccharine forms. So it’s no stretch that I wouldn’t know who the flavor of the week is.
For the record, you could have just said who she was without being a dick about it.
This never had to happen, bud.
You're not filling concert halls yourself.
