how do you write an article attempting to critique neoliberal forces and then use a neoliberal apologist argument (amoral ~market forces~ are further exploited by the upper echelon) while simultaneously avoiding actually discussing how an Iggy Azalea is easier to market than Azelia Banks

ArbitraryC: Pick a number, any number

I heard an Iggy Azalea song where she compared herself to the twin towers because people would remember her when she was gone or something and I thought it was pretty funny so she's okay in my book.

seriously if it turns out critical theory and postmodernism and all that horseshit was a conspiracy by the financial classes to make the revolutionary left disappear up their own assholes I would not be at all surprised

actually that's a lie, I would be surprised because it's waaaaay too successful and clever for a cabal of marketing execs and bankers to dream up

add ariana grande to that list

anyways, iggy azalea is a corporate-produced white clone of nicki minaj right down to facial expressions and style. peace.

American pop singer Katy Perry praised Grande, saying she has "the best female vocal in pop music today. She has literally the best voice, the best voice live."

Is it just me, or has "dat rear end" been the defining factor in song/artist popularity moreso than usual lately? This year's music has just been...ugh.

we're in the era of the rear end. the era in which the great asses of pop culture were celebrated in song and in which specific asses became the object of worship.

Cultural appropriation isn't real

or at least not in the context it is applied by stupid neo-liberals

I am not even speaking as an extreme right wing eugenics activist, but seriously, it is impossible to define cultural appropriation in 21st century terms. Globalization and mass media have made the concept of any culture being 'contained' impossible.

Also one of the fundamental ways humans communicate is by copying and group-think, this is sociology 101.

The idea that white people wearing dreadlocks is somehow a racist display is ridiculous for all the wrong reasons and the people who argue against it usually are missing the essential point -

The entire history of mankind is cultural appropriation of some kind. It is simply impossible to classify on any specific level, the implications it brings forth run so deep through both society and anthropology it boggles my mind that people talk about it seriously as if it's a real problem.
