#but it still bugs me a little ever since I learned about the Hypogeum and heard the song Diggy Diggy Hole

I have lots of random, minor bones to pick with lots of random aspects of pop fantasy, but I really gotta say the lack of imagination and creativity surrounding dwarves is a damned crime

you're telling me there's an entire fantasy race known for "living in mountains", spaces which would probably produce some of the most insane acoustics, and this race is not stereotypically known for producing the most ethereal and incredible music in all the fantasy world? where is my dwarven opera and dwarven metal and dwarven smithing shanties? why is so much pop fantasy a simulacra of other pop fantasy with about as much imagination as a weak tea has flavor
