The measurable difference is that tech makes it easier to get musical ideas down, so more time can be spent on the actual creative bits (e.g. the story about how long it took the Beach Boys to record Good Vibrations.) The downside is that the tech will mostly be used by hacky idiots.

A major issue in the music world right now is that the market is absurdly oversaturated and the pickings are slim as far as getting paid goes.

I don't even know what I'm looking at but I'm gonna hazard a dangerous guess that the top one isn't a rap too.

For anyone who might be curious, the top example is a song's melody, and the bottom is a song's beat (this is why the notes don't move and are marked by "x"). If you wrote out the rhythm to the jazz song it would likely look just as boring and flat. I'm not familiar with either song, and I know there's a general criticism that rap is almost entirely about the beat from people who don't "get" the genre, but I'm willing to bet the song has some semblance of melody.

I actually heard "I Love You Baby" LONG before I ever heard "McArthur Park" (like, decades before), and I thought McArthur Park was some sort of joke.

Even earlier than that. It was on Cartoon Planet (sort of a daytime version of Coast to Coast) in like the mid-'90s, and it was somehow even weirder:

Lol, tries to make a point, but demonstrates a total failure to understand gender issues instead.

Let's tackle these one by one.

1. Hitting women: A man will generally be able to physically overpower a woman, and is more likely to want to.

2. Spontaneous kiss: Life's not a film, and depending on context this could be weird either way.

3. Staring at crotches: women get leered at multiple times every day. They may just want to do their job or talk to you.

4. Split the bill: hey, if someone thinks you're cheap for splitting the bill, gently caress em. More down to the individual than gender, I feel.

5. Wrong bathroom: hey dude, standing next to a stall listening isn't the same as walking in, spoting a urinal, and walking out again with a red face.

6. Work: no idea what this is actually trying to say.

7. See 3. Also, you're complaining that you're not allowed to grope women, dude.

This is the gender equivalent of 'why are black people allowed to say friend of the family'.

I've known a few women who always talked about checking out men's packages but they were generally pretty gross people, similar to how dudes are gross if they're constantly talking about women's tits and asses that they see in public

I'm dealing with an abuse situation with my mother in law, and it had to get really bad for her to finally (get my wife to) call the cops on her poo poo head alcoholic husband.

I wish she was the type these guys claim women to be and just beat the poo poo outta him. This poor women has the beginning stages of battered wife syndrome and it breaks my heart to see it.

Thankfully dick head's rear end is in jail for a minimum of 6 months.

I love how, of all the lovely anti-feminist refrains that come up on Imgur, one of the constant offenders is "why isn't it okay to hit women?!" They're just loving aching for an excuse to beat up a woman. Is it the misogyny talking, or is it the lingering hope of Internet weenlords that they juuust might be able to win a fight if they deliberately pick on a target who's smaller, lighter, and less socialized to violence than they are?

(Trick question! It's both. But mostly the misogyny.)
