#bad song description

Pick a Cure song from a bad description! You do not have to recognize the song to choose it. Go with whichever description tickles your fancy. Maybe you like it when Robert sings about his Bad Domme Experiences (kind of a Cure subgenre, tbh). Maybe you still fucking hate Bush and Blair. Maybe you just want to set something on fire and make out with someone.
At the end of a week, I will make a playlist out of the results of the poll, going from the song with the least amount of votes to the song with the highest amount of votes. If you would like to hear the playlist, let me know in the comments or in the tags on your reblog, and I will tag you at the end.
And please reblog the post! I mean, we're all listening to the Cure this week to prep for the new album, right? Why not listen to a curated list of some weirdo's favorite semi-deep cuts?
(new album this week you guys oh my god oh my god I never thought this day would come)

Okay, but no. I’m sorry. My mom tried so hard to find me a different fantasy book series to redirect my somewhat worrying Redwall obsession, and she couldn’t. It’s not that the Redwall books are inimitable, they’re actually very imitable. But it is that Brian Jacques wasn’t setting out to write fantasy, he was setting out to write a story that kids would enjoy and that he would enjoy telling to them. I wasn’t reading 350-page novels in one sitting because I loved fantasy, I was reading them because I loved Redwall. Obviously I can’t speak for every kid, but I didn’t branch out by being handed more books in the same genre, I branched out by being given books that were written with the same genuinity.
#actually it’s a lie to say I ‘branched out’ I just read whatever I could get my grubby little hands on#but I did get irritated by well-meaning elders who went ‘Oh! You like stories with talking animals!’#or ‘Oh! You like fantasy!’#when those were just /incidentals/#what I /liked/ were stories with tension and description and excitement and humor and riddles and songs and joy and grief#I /liked/ stories where the good guys were good and the bad guys were bad and you could tell who was who#I /liked/ stories that told me it was okay to be angry and confused and hurt and scared and sad but I had to do the right thing anyway#I /liked/ stories that used big words and let me figure out what they meant instead of just telling me#It’s not that you can’t recommend books that are like Redwall.#It’s that people get confused about what makes something /like/ Redwall.#Ranger’s Apprentice had a lot more in common with Redwall than The Mistmantle Chronicles.

I've also been thinking a lot about closeted pop stars (including Harry) in the time of Chappel Roan. Mostly unformed thoughts but very eager to see what's next for all of them
You sent this a while back anon - and I keep thinking of answering it and each time what 'in the time of Chappell Roan' has shifted slightly and so my answer has got more complicated and the fundamental differences between Chappell Roan and Harry have become more obvious.
I think there's an emotional landscape question about what it means to be a closeted pop star in this moment. I don't know if we can imagine the complexity of this answer - and when we try it's important to include the push back against the fan gaze that is coming from queer artists.
The other side of this question is what it means for his career. And here I think it's worth asking what does it mean that Harry is going to be making pop music in this moment. It's been a time of these massive, interesting, female pop acts. All of whom in their own particular ways say something about themselves and something about pop with their art. It's been a time that Taylor Swift, who has baked cookies for her fans in the past, has told fans to fuck off in songs.
None of this is very Harry Styles. One of the things that has been really interesting to me watching the pop landscape shift this year - is that has really made me define what Harry does. These are I think the key elements to his proposition:
With each album he has had a very big song that spoke to the moment we're in
His aesthetic is striking, interesting and playful (thanks Harry L - but also thanks to hiring strong artists with a point of view for key tasks such as album photography)
In his music there's a lot of space for people to project onto, with particular space for fantasies
The core of the fantasy is the live show and its place of joy
And certainly there's a huge gap between that - and what we've been seeing from other artists recently.
I was listening to a recent episode of Every Single Album and Nora and Nathan were talking about Harry Styles for a while (I can't remember which one and would welcome pointers, because it's not clear from the episode description). And Nathan in particular was suggesting that Harry would need to think carefully about how he presented himself in this space and it wouldn't be enough to be projected onto - he needed to share something of himself. Here Dua Lipa is used as sort of a cautionary tale of what happens if you don't have enough Lore.
It's not that I entirely disagree. I think there's a lot that Harry address in his music that would be thrilling, if he was interested in sharing. When you think of songs like 'But Daddy I love him' or the 'Girl, So Confusing' remix - and imagine what would happen if Harry was interested in playing even near that playground - that's something I'd look forward to. I also think the most effective way to address the way people do and don't talk about his sexuality - would be a song that had an element of fuck you in it.
But I think there are multiple dangers here - and not having enough lore is only one of them. I also think there's a worry of losing what people want from you, by trying to be what people love in other people. (I think this, far more than anything, has been Katy Perry's problem. She's trying and failing to be a more relevant version of herself - but she'd be far more relevant if she'd kept doing what people love from her.
I really think the 'if he's interested in sharing' is the key point. If he has any interest in writing any music that comments on his life in a way that is intelligible to listeners - then I think there's real potential. But I think nothing could be more fatal than doing it for the lore.
To come back to Chappell Roan - I just listened to the popcast episode about touring, and read Jon Caramanica's review of Chappell Roan's show in Tennessee. In that he compares the show with the on-line discourse - and basically argues that the way forward, the way to build a career that matters - is to ignore the people who want to talk about you and focus on those who want to be part of the collective experience when you make music.
I hope that this, more than anything else, is the message that Harry takes forward. If he has anything to say, then I'm all for him saying it (although I think the response to Chappell clearly shows that people don't really want popstars to say things). But I think the most important thing for his career will be him continuing to do what he does well.
#I think there are two important determinants of this next stage of Harry's career#One is the next tour#There's every reason to be confident that people still want what Harry is offering#And the other is whether he has a song that speaks to this moment#It seems incredible if he could do it#(and I wouldn't bet against it)#but if he's more of a touring artist#than a centre of the conversation artist#It's not necessarily a bad thing#The other Every Single Album bit I was fascinated by#was there description of Tate McCrae's career#Which begins with mentioning that she's managed by Jeffery Azoff#There are certainly similarities#and the difference seems to be the lack of the big songs

ive never been so unreasonably angry with an album before oh my god
#noonbeam rambles#YOU CANT JUST MAKE AN ALBUM OUT OF 20 SECOND LOOPS LOOPED FOR 3 MINUTES#credit where its due. it does in fact have the aesthetic. if someone told me these songs were from the 20s-50s id believe them#BUT LIKE !!!!!! ADD SOME VARIETY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WOULDNTVE KNOWN IF IT WAS A MURDER CLOWN STORY IF THE DESCRIPTION DIDNT SAY ITTTTT#ITS LITERALLY JUST SOME LOOPS. ABSOLUTELY NO DEATH IN THE MUSIC ITSELF WHATSOEVER. ITS JUST SO BOORRIIIING#i wanted to click off it so bad but my brain was like but youve gotta finish it now .......#OH. OH. EDIT. I DIDNT EVEN SAY THE PART THAT REALLY GOT ME SO FIRED UP#IN ONE OF THE SONGS THERES A SLIGHT CUT. SO YOU CAN LITERALLY HEAR IT LOOPING.#DUDE.#YOU CANT GET ALL DARK WITH IT WHEN YOURE NOT EVEN BOTHERED TO FIX THAT STUPID MISTAKE. LET ALONE MAKE A SONG THATS ACTUALLY LONGER THAN 20-#--SECONDSSSSSSS

That scientist should not be 18 years old are you kidding me???
#prince's talk tag#so i found out something today#for the better part of the year ive been obsessed with the song Science by Sh/un'ichi To/ki#and today I thought about buying the single online bc i love it so much#so i go to the product page and read the description and it turns out#the song was used as an ending for an anime that came out earlier this year#and ofc To/ki plays one of the main characters in the anime: the aforementioned scientist#the character said he worked for the government as a scientist#and he when he first met another main character who's a child he kept calling him 'boku' which the subs translated to 'son'#plus the other main character in the show is 28 so i had assumed the scientist was 28 as well or maybe a year or two younger#nope! the same episode it turns out he's 18. eighteen years old#what kind of prodigy child do we have have here???#anyway the anime is kinda of mid and im starting to see a trend (probably not a trend and def not the first person to do this)#he acts in mediocre anime but also gets to do an opening and/or ending for it too. a two for one deal#in this case the op is sung by the three leads and the ed is just him#they are both bops but im bias to the ed bc ive been playing it on a loop#anyway im on ep 2. it's a goofy show but ill stick with it. ive seen worse ones and this one isn't bad#oh the name of it is De|usional Month|y Magazine#also i lied the op is sung by the four leads. theres a dog who is part of the principle cast and he sings too

Happy STS. Okay, hear me out. Your story becomes a musical. *grandly presents you with the opportunity to turn this into literally whatever you want* (Who knows all the choreography? Who is pissed? Who somehow escapes singing?) (What scene has the best song? What your story's musical sound like? Does it being a musical make any sense at all?)
I am HEARING you out. happy sts
I'm not sure about the others, but all I know is Leo gets a very theatrical disney villain type song. They would still be very branch trolls or eugene fitzherbert tangled core. I am Not singing and you Can't make me (someone will) (jaxon most likely) (poor leo)
Jaxon is THRILLED. He sings wherever he goes anyways. He knows all the choreography. He makes everyone else join. Same with Sam and probably Lily
Logan and Cass are secretly really good singers in my head. I feel like they would both have a sort of lullaby song. something soft
Dylan gets out of it. "ohh sorry guys. i didn't realize it was a musical :| my bad you guys have fun though" Ryan also gets out of it. Elliot TRIES but he falls victim to Jaxon making him
#ALL I KNOW is leo gets a disney villain song#you KNOW she ate the shit out of that jekyll and hyde musical. ive never listened to it but i know it in my heart#and the frankenstein one#and the death note one#my favorite leo headcanon is that they just adore niche musicals#classic novels nerd Leo has evolved like a pokemon#by ''its suddenly a musical'' i was thinking the henry danger episode where everyone just starts signing out of nowhere#that was my immediate thought because i loved that show when i was like thirteen#my headcanon for the chapter that is suddenly a musical episode is that dylan just had their hearing aids out all day and didn't realize#they see everyone doing little songs and dance numbers and go alright? why? cool i guess? whatever. you guys are weird.#dylan probably could sing but they're not Going to#around dinner they get fed up and are like what the HELL are you all DOING#thanks for the ask!#sts#writing#isaac says things related to his writing again#original work#wip: forget me not#im saying that it's the first one specifically because of jaxons description. he is NOT singin songs in the second or third#he's having too bad of a time#the descriptions for them are also somewhat based on the voice claims playlist i have on youtube for them lol

The Vivziepop fandom is really dense...
Like, totally media illiterate, and it's sometimes really frustrating.
#and this probably goes for all media and I just missed the discourse#but since Hazbin Helltell is big its all over YT shorts and hoo boy#they take anything and misconstrue it so bad that it takes on a whole new wrong meaning#the Hellaverse clearly made Lucifer and Satan different entities#famdom shits because of a 'plot hole' over a comment made by Beelzebub#fandom says theres a plot hole with Vaggie not knowing Excorcists could actually die by Angelic steel 'bUt ShE GOt HuRt ShR ShOulD KNow!'#fucking pay attention and calm down y'all#the one that really gets me is Alastor's solo in the Finale song#Fans think his last name is 'Altruist' because they can't hear the comma that Amazon failed to put in their subtitles#the line 'Alastor .altruist. died for his friends' theres a fucking comma there.... Altruist is the description of him#hes singing his obituary bc hes an overdramatic bitch#i think Ill just block some tags and remove some YT recs because this is clearly taking too much of my time#im going to return to my rock and give random opinions on things without being in Fandom and reading discourse#jeezus louiseus

no stronger bond than between two people who were online friends and then lost touch
she deleted her tumblr in 2022
i hope she knows i still think about her
#she had a different tumblr before that aswell#and she deleted it#but she made a new one a few months later and texted me#she remembered my name#she had made me a spotify playlist dedicated to me with songs that she wanted me to listen to#i was so bad with texting her because i was still socially awkward and didn't know what to say#i should have texted her more#i think about her every now and then#i just went through all of our messages and read them all#she was so sweet#i have no idea what her life is like now#i still have that spotify playlist#im listening to it right now#i could make a playlist for her and tag her in it? is that a thing? do i need to actually send it to her?#i hope i can talk to her again#i want to know about her life#i had a little crush on her for a bit#even though all i knew was her name#and a description she told me of herself of what she looked like#all we ever talked about was small talk about our lives and about music we liked#but it was somehow still so personal#back then i didn't have any other friends#i got so excited when she messaged me#but half the time i was too scared to text her back#i miss her#non fandom stuff

Oh, wait, part II:
'Cause I felt like doing a metal one too.
So none of this is Pure Moods! Most of it is pretty metal, though.
Pick a song from a bad description! You do not need to recognize the song from the description. Go by vibes. Listen to your gut. At the end of a week, I will make a playlist out of all the songs from the song with the least votes to the song with the most votes. If you would like to listen to the playlist when it's done, leave a comment or put it in the tags when you reblog, and I will tag you! If you really want to know what a song is, shoot me an ask and I will answer.
And please reblog the poll! Reblogs make it fun.
#polls#music#mystery songs#bad song description#metal version#'cause i felt like it#also again i can't stress enough you don't have to recognize the songs#it's fine it's kind of the point just go by vibes#it's kind of about discovering something new without a lot of preconceptions#take the baggage away what would you choose you know?#so go by that#and then if something sounds too fun to wait for then okay ask that's fine

whenever i hear a song that i would like if it weren’t for the fact that it was too long, i think about this:
like you can afford to write tangentially if you/your music is already popular and you know that people are going to listen to you no matter what and in fact laud your longer pieces as being genius etc but can you really be releasing 5+ minute long songs without a built-in audience?
#idk. thinking about this because of the new lana album and i think i’d like a lot of these songs better if they were shorter lol#some of these songs drag so much especially when she includes these long sections of like one repeated line over and over again#or like when taylor swift releases the extended version of all too well and everyone freaked out#that’s all good and well but she HAD to release the shorter version first#and she knows she has this huge fanbase that will eat that shit up no matter what she does really#part of it is nostalgia admittedly but i also think the shorter version is just a better song#that song is on the longer side to begin with but 10 minutes???? why#(i did listen to both songs back to back to make sure my opinion was still the same as when the 10 minute version was released & it is lol)#idk! obviously i’m bad at this myself because i write so fucking much to express a simple point but it is more skillful to be able#to say things as effectively and precisely in a more concise way#not saying this ONLY applies to mitski because she’s the one this article is about but she is a good example of it#like being able to express a feeling in just a couple lines that would probably take a less skilled writer like a novel to express#it also reminds me of how my high school latin teacher described how in college he took a class about museum design or something like that#and their first assignment was to write a description of an artifact to tell museum visitors what it was#and every time he submitted a draft the professor would tell him to make it shorter while still communicating the necessary information#until he literally could not make it any shorter than it already was#because you have to assume that people are not gonna read all that! because they won’t unless they have some kind of external motivation to#idk there IS something to be said for including ‘unnecessary’ parts of writing etc obviously there’s nuance#but a lot of the time i think if there isn’t a reason to include something then why include it!

its like that one time i asked my friends for songs that go absolutely apeshit sounding like a rabid animal. and my friends recommended me halsey. like okay
#at least halsey is popular enough that i knew right off the bat that her music wouldnt fit what i wanted#but if it was someone i didnt know and then i listened to it expecting what i wanted and then heard. That........#sorry and i just listened to an album earlier today where the album description made it sound so fucking cool#and then i listened to it and it was just like. like every other 'pop but darker uwu' kind of song. like alrighty#it wasnt even bad its just. it did NOT sound like it was described to me !!!!!!#so now im left feeling disappointed and disgruntled when i otherwise wouldnt have!!#brot posts#music

The second opening of BLUELOCK singlehandedly moved this show from “not interested in this at all” list to “might watch in free time” list it’s in the bottom of the list, but still the opening song is g o o d
#blue lock#not what i think this anime is supposed to be bad#can't really say that before watching#but it's description and some other things i've seen made me skip it for personal reasons#like disliking football#and weird clothes#and the whole prison thing#but this song is fire#that's the sport show energy in there
