Stinky_Pete posted:But that's just centuries-ago theater producers because they didn't like giving women jobs, where everyone in the audience who wasn't rich as gently caress stood on discarded peanut shells in the dirt. How anyone romanticizes the past I'll never understand. Modern productions don't have dudes playing women and the script is agnostic to the players' logistics so "Shakespeare" does not imply what you're saying it implies. Now lay off and let me denigrate. while shakespeare didn't invent the system of men playing women, you can be sure his writing is "aware" of it and comments on it deliberately; gender-bending is very common in the comedies, and Orsino for instance falls in love with what he thinks is a young page boy... before it is revealed to him "he" is really a young woman in disguise, and then they go get married. you can rest assured that in the gender-bending comedies, both shakespeare and the audience laughed when the man-playing-a-woman-playing-a-man was revealed to be a "woman" and everything was hunky-dory as two dudes in funny costumes made eyes at each other. another instance is Pyramus and Thisbee in Midsummer, where the action of the play is lampooned by the play-within-a-play, where two dudes enact a love scene between a man and a woman; so you have man-playing-man-playing-man in love with man-playing-man-playing-woman, and the humor between these two crude men speaking high poesy and falling in love is in part based on the guy wearing funny woman's clothes and doing a bad stereotyped "woman" character. people may have been smelly and didn't have computers but they weren't any more or less stupid 500 years ago than they are now; and most people agree that, given a comedic context, a dude in woman's clothing is funny.

I remember back in the 90's when I was a teenager and collected vinyl, old people seemed so confused by it. Now I know people in their mid 20's in bands, and they all release cassette tapes and fetishize the poo poo out of them. They say the same stuff people always say about records. "It's sounds warmer/just more real blah blah. Cassettes aren't special at all to me though. Just some crappy dead format I used to have to use when I was a kid. Now I get why those old people couldn't figure out why I bought vinyl.

Like with different formats there is this thing where different frequencies are accentuated by RIAA Equalization forcing vinyl to have less bass and more treble in order to have longer record times and not having the bass jump the needle, and this can possibly lead to people listening and finding records sounding different from digital recordings. Cassettes have some popularity still because people have tape decks in their old loving lovely beaters, and those same people fetish the 80s tape swapping scene like nobodies business. Also it's a metal head thing for some reason.

I was born in the 80's but as a poor I didn't have CD's until the mid-90's so I was very familiar with cassettes because that's all there was as far as I was concerned. I remember getting Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness on two cassettes. As for Vaporwave itself it sounds kinda neat and reminds me of the corporate muzak I used to hear in the malls and outlet stores my mom would drag me to.

I'm old enough to have bought a record though, Fore by Huey Lewis and the News. My tastes changed a bit you could say.

You only get to propose a limited number of times in your life so you have to get as many people to see it as possible. Doing it during a baseball game is a classic choice, but for the modern age couple it may be ideal to live stream it instead! Simply hold your camera in "selfie mode" in one hand while you propose with the other, to make sure that you two and ten thousand anonymous strangers share this special, personal moment together! says someone has tried to do this

The difference with the vaporwave kids is that it's all just samples from 80s music and Smooth Jazz MP3s or Youtube put through some free VSTi filter and warped in Ableton Live and it never had any of what might make it slightly analogue and it enters a lovely digital realm of ironically pretentious garbage. Then they record it onto cassette tape in "limited" quantities. Stinky Pete was correct in saying it fetishizes this whole type of thing they missed out on, making it even sillier by adding this weeaboo-type nostalgic obsession with Japan in the 80s and 90s. It's one of those "started off ironic and kind of a joke, and then idiots fell for it and took it as gospel" type of things. Now there are $10+ cassette tapes being peddled and rabidly purchased because it gets better "cool" points to play their purely digital stolen music made in pirated software on the original true way it was made to be listened; a cassette tape. I think vaporwave visual art is pretty cool, but the music and the artists charging $1-5 on Bandcamp for an album that is essentially brazenly stolen loops from other artists isn't very cool. There's another type of vaporwave movement that is basically making Walmart keyboard demo music and taking it way too seriously and acting like they're the first people to ever write their own music, etc., because they wanted their true vision to not have samples like those other "trendy" people. It's all very Millenial, besides the fact that the whole genre is populated in and out by teenagers.

I tried before, but everyone connected to it was pretentious enough that I couldn't get into it. Every time I open up something from r/vaporwave about music production, everyone is jerking themselves dry about not using samples anymore and how they are making their own awful faux mall jazz. I tried to like vaporwave, but the laziness and often the newness of the people who made releases (as in just downloaded Live/FL Studio and made an album of slow loops in a week) turned me off. That's all personal though, because I can see how other people like it and get into the imagery and "vibe" it's going for. I'm not going to say "people can't/shouldn't enjoy this," but for me I can definitely say "I think this is kind of dumb." nomadologique posted:sounds like teenager music stuff to me, bub It is.
