I complain about it so much in different fandoms but it's so wild to me how much media will have a character be like "I listen to XYZ artist and XYZ genre and this song is my favorite" and it fits so well with their personality and upbringing and brings some rich flavor to their character and then fandom is like "they listen to nothing but top 40 pop stars <333"

#not even real shade towards pop music lord knows how much pop punk and dance pop i listen to yaknow #but idk just rereading rwrby and like the diversity in music that the characters listen to and reference #artists and songs that have historical cultural impact and theres so much meaning to each character #and fanfics are like lol they are all sw*fties and love d*ja cat and etc etc #this isnt the only fandom that does this its just bothering me today bc i forgot #how much music is actually referenced in the story itself #muddy waters and patsy kline and hall & oates and ofc david bowie #little things that speak to the places these characters come from and none of this but the bowie gets brought up #and lbr bowie only gets remembered bc of david the beagle #fandom wank #anyway pop is fine i just wish people didnt act like its all characyers listen to that it was all that had worth that it was characters #personalities or st
