"I often lament the loss of the monoculture but the truth is it’s still here, it’s just weakened and fractured.", this is me complaining to my sister on a Sunday car ride reflecting on the Oasis show and what happened to us. I gave example of Turnstile as "fractured monoculture", hardcore is not my music but boy do they have a baby monoculture of their own
the monoculture will probably always present itself as such as long as there are mass media. i think it’s just take what you can, bring it to your community and leave the rest. thank you for these thots
I like both of them but not their ballads. And it's quite a ballad. Schlocky but unfortunately not campy IMO. Not sure how either of you missed that one because I heard it 8000 times. But my kids want to listen to Top 40 radio and that was one of the small handful of contemporary songs those stations played over and over again (for real, there should be/probably are think pieces about how pop radio leans on songs from 20ish years ago more than the stuff that is popular now). Conversely I am very K-pop illiterate and not proud of that. But solidarity with the general gist of Yasi's piece and this thread. I had honestly forgotten the VMAs were still a going concern.

Alex and Addison covering Cohen‘s “Hallelujah” to bring the mono kulcha back back back??!?
I wanna say monoculture now only exists within subcultures?? But also that's contradictory..

I was so happy to read I was not the only one completely unaware Bruno & Gaga did a song together. Love them both but still, I had no fucking clue.
