And here we are with the final full decade featured on this blog. All throughout the 2010's retrospectives, we have been focusing a lot on how streaming and internet culture in general is shaping pop music. Now, that can be seen more than ever. Especially with the number one song this year, Lil Nas X's Old Town Road -- one of the first viral TikTok songs we'll be seeing. Old Town Road isn't just notable for how it took off through meme culture or how TikTok would soon come to be one of the main forces behind pop success, but the track was also controversial for how it blurred the lines between genres. Not through aesthetic or sound (which is nothing new), but through marketing. After reaching number nineteen on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, the magazine disqualified the song from counting as the genre. It should be mentioned that country circles have a history of drawing clear lines around what counts as their genre. There was a time when many country music tastemakers considered artists like Johnny Cash or John Denver to be too rock or pop for country. In fact during the 1975 CMAs, Charlie Rich burned John Denver's card after announcing him as the winner. And if it even needs to be said, this tension is even more noticeable when you factor race into the mix. Especially when you factor in how country being classified as a "white" genre was a marketing strategy less than a hundred years ago. Here's an article that went more in depth on the issue in response to the Old Town Road debate.

“Determining which chart a song lives on is an ongoing process that depends on a number of factors, most notably the song’s musical composition, but also how the song is marketed and promoted, the musical history of the artist, airplay the song receives, and how the song is platformed on streaming services.” - a representative from Billboard for Rolling Stone

Obviously, this is a lot of discourse and debate to drop onto a short TikTok meme song. But since this blog is essentially about how music is marketed, I couldn't not bring it up. Because Old Town Road wasn't controversial just because it was a song that used both country and rap influences (country had been incorporating more hip-hop production into their sound all decade), but it was largely controversial because Lil Nas X wasn't a country artist. This is a concept I touched on briefly during the rise of nu metal, but the definition of a genre can change depending on whether you're evaluating the sound as music or as marketing. And if you're in the world of marketing, the definition of "country music" is "music performed by country artists within the country music industry". But with the internet making it more possible than ever for people outside the industry to gain pop success, the lines are allowed to become even more blurred.

Unlike the start of the decade, the pop music now is much more low-key and moody. The popularity of trap lends well to a darker sound, and even pop tracks like Billie Eilish's Bad Guy and Ariana Grande's 7 Rings are taking influence from this production style. Lo-fi music and "bedroom pop" are now becoming the go-to sound. More production styles that encourage more individual, introspective listening. Music that sounds like it could have been produced by one person in their bedroom. And maybe the timing was just right. Because soon, most people would have to make their music out of their bedrooms.

See you all in 2020.

Oggi è stata una giornata proprio Bella e sono molto grata di avere queste belle persone accanto a me. Siamo andate a vedere the pumpkin patch in hatters farm ed è stato molto bello, il tempo non è stato uno dei migliori ma abbiamo creato dei bei momenti. Abbiamo mangiato i mashmello, Ellie si è presa la cioccolata e io le patatine che poi tutte hanno mangiato. Abbiamo anche fatto tantissime foto e ne sono stata molto contenta, un po’ frustrata perché non avevo spazio nel cellulare. Poi siamo andate a casa di Ellie e abbiamo dipinto i vasi, mangiato pizza e bevuto vino ed è stato proprio un bel momento. In più abbiamo visto envy la cagnolino piu carina al mondoooo, insomma è stato molto bello. Poi siamo tornate a casa e io sono andata da Lorena, abbiamo parliamo un bel po’ da sole e poi siamo andate da testo a comprare da mangiare e il vino. Io e sarà abbiamo cucinato e poi abbiamo provato a guardare un film. Il primo non è piaciuto a nessuno e nemmeno a me e il secondo era ok ma non l’ho finito perché ero troppo stanca. Il cibo era davvero buonissimo e poi ho lavato i piatti, salutato Lorena e sarà e sono tornata a casa. È stata proprio una bella giornata, top! Ora è un po’ tardi perché ho cazzeggiato al telefono però fra poco vado a nanna che mi aspetta una bella colazione domani. Buona notte

Look who just woke up- is that EMILY KINNEY? No, I must have been mistaken, that’s BETH GREENE from THE WALKING DEAD. I heard she is 22 and stuck here just like everyone else. Even in the 20’s, they still give off a SOFT SONG AROUND THE FIRE, AN OLD WORN SWEATER, BLOOD STAINED SHAKY HANDS impression. They’re known to be quite KIND, but have a tendency to be NAIVE on their bad days.

Gender/Pronouns : 

cis-female, she/her

How long have they been in Sydney :

beth has been in sydney for two years now, but in her mind has grown up on 

Which suburb do they live in? 

beth currently lives in parramatta

Personality description : 

beth is still extremely shy and soft spoken. both in her real life and in her fake life, she was always spoken over by her siblings and not one to stand out in the crowd. the only place that beth has ever spoken up had been when she was on stage and singing, it was the one place she felt confident even if many people had insisted she was too soft spoken to make it into a music industry. above all, beth cares about people out in the world. she goes out of her way to make sure that people are taken care of, even if it means she can’t always take care of herself. 

Memories of their real life:

beth remembers everything that has happened back in her canon. the last thing that she remembers is her group arriving back at the hospital in order to save her... but not being able. to succeed. she also remembers everything that had happened prior to it. she remembered the group arriving at the farm, and the true horrors that had followed her through the zombie apocalypse including watching her own father be murdered in front of her. 

What was their fake life like : 

tbd after plotting but looking for fake life siblings up to 3 that would have had a relatively close upbringing.

Theme Song

Quote

“i’ve noticed something about people who make a difference in the world: they hold the unshakable conviction that individuals are extremely important and every life matters... they aren’t determined to revolutionize the world all at once, they’re satisfied with small changes”

Rolling Stone sums up the collapse of KAOS & makes it clear Marshmello basically killed the venue. Buying out his contract & the contracts of the executives who hired him put the club $26.8 million in the red. I don’t understand anyone being paid for failure but apparently that’s what happened.
