Bad Guy by Billie Eilish.

And every one of her other songs.

I love me some Billie Eilish.

My favourite from her is this track. The lyrics were penned by her brother which is....a little weird given the sexual overtones. Oh well, still a bop:

I got a bunch of radio hits that are out of the realm of music that would be normal for me to be into... Hannah Montana "party in the USA" comes to mind after seeing some other posters mention her songs... I really enjoyed the Celine Dion song from Titanic a few weeks ago hearing it on the radio... This might be an ultimate guilty pleasure of mine:



That song sounds pretty dark to me, probably was actually the intention of the artist while making it, but i always wondered if people recognized how it could be dark or depressing (In a good way).... the first time i heard "party in the USA" by hanah montana i thought it was some kind of joke about the country going to shit or just being a violent terrible cop enforced shit hole, like the song was making light of it or something... i think i might misinterpret some stuff. i dunno.
 
^ loved that song - was great when pop-songs/dance, reflected normal, human feelings/states... conversely, it could make normal, feelings/states, sound sinister/dissociated from the former- maybe, the latter, was relevant, of the time...however, it's Def a lesson in, nuance & sense of determination; how you perceive it & how much you, actually can perceive🤔...

Anyhoo,

 
Violence is terrible but in this mindstate sure I also hate autotune and didn't come close to searching for this feed fodder but they got me I dig it temporarily



The scary thing is they are real killer$

They wonder where this violence comes from look at their Imperial military culture

The world capital of mass shootings is the Savior of the Middle East?

Anyways Roots of violence in America aside this guy killed someone then made a song,



Yes I feel guilty even watching

I really dislike what "gangster rap" has become. Every song sounds the same, every video looks exactly the same. It sounds cool... but there is no originality any more. Everyone just wants to look like the previous guy.

One of my guilty pleasures is old 90s west coast banger shit

I agree, there's still some really good hip hop out there, but I've found it harder and harder to get into. I mean, the genre used to seem to be about bringing the shocking reality of the urban black experience to the masses, and yeah I mean it still is to some extent, but I think a lot of the artists have kind of missed the whole point of it and are simply emulating and mimicking, and it's gotten so diluted with dumb shit for the radio. There's still some interesting transgressive elements, but now that that door has been opened, some of it is really lacking any kind of real radical and honest edge. It's just the same shit, rehashed in a new way. Far be it from me to tell black people how to relay their experience of course lol... That's just my perspective.
