And I just finished new Wordle, gonna prepare some food now and watch the new Massacre, though I'm pretty sure it won't be good. For mafia mood I watch yakuza films from Japan
Funny, though the femdom liking guy at the beginning is too stereotypical imo. Anyway, I'm watching other vids with Rico Nasty rn
Edit: Lil Mariko seems to have femdommy motifs going strong in other vids too.
This one too has that vibe:Funny, though the femdom liking guy at the beginning is too stereotypical imo. Anyway, I'm watching other vids with Rico Nasty rn
Lil Mariko's songs or Rica Nasty's "Girl Crush" are somewhat similar in some regards to what I listen to myself when I want to have fun (electro, EMB, aggrotech; though these genres tend to have sexist, "edgy" vibes with titles like "Fuck You Bitch", "This Shit Will Fuck You Up", "Die Motherfucker Die", "Fuck That Shit", "Bitch of Dreams" and more). Though I have to admit I'm not following music that much and last time I've danced to aggrotech on a dancefloor was in 2012 during an afterparty to Laibach's concert (one of my favs from them btw) in Łódź, I did dance to the live show though in 2019 when Suicide Commando played in Warsaw. That reminds me I wanted to check new (now not so new) album by Lebanon Hanover, I really liked
Maybe, but I dislike the punk influences in this one [it feels more present than in the typical NWOBHM], in my opinion rock and metal is not sexy in that way, sonically. Especially punk rock, that's the least sexy
Hmm, for me a lot of rock, hard rock, heavy metal is created in a way that maybe is not sexy per se, but is about sexy stuff. Bands like Marilyn Manson, Europe, Def Leppard, AC/DC, Rammstein and many, many more sing quite a lot about girls, sex and often in a way that - I think - is supposed to be arousing (maybe less with Rammstein). For me industrial (and I mean old school aka true one) is least sexy genre, cause even when it talks about sex, sex is always dirty, violent, people are disfigured, there's rape, fringe fetishes etc., so it's more about "shock" than sex; it's anti-erotic in a sense, which is good for the anti-musical approach of especially noise, industrial noise acts. There's a lot of sex in some folk noir/dark folk bands though with acts like Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio or Spiritual Front. For me personally I often found sex lyrics in metal (but in aggrotech too), especially the more kinky, agressive ones as artificial, as posing and not smth truthful
What you say about metal is limited to the 80s glam subgenre, [Europe tho was more serious, nothing explicitly sexual about the final countdown, and carrie lol - sappy love ballads yeah, sexy? not really - at least in my perception], but what I meant is that the music itself is not activating any erotic connotations for me. Partly probably because I always listen to metal and rock when I want something musically satisfying, a cerebral or emotional experience which pushes on entirely non-erotic circuits so to speak. I am smiling wildly while I write this, because I took a snapshot in my mind about the possible sexiness of the different metal sub-genres, and almost spit my coffee on the screen when I got to power metal: "sexy dragons"
So, even if the subject matter in some glam metal songs is about sex, for me it doesn't sound "sexy" at all. Maybe it does for a vanilla female, or a vanilla male or a gay male who overestimates the market value of his masculine charms... ....maybe Led Zeppelin...
I guess it's because they sing that they go to Venus (in Laibach's version they go to Mars btw).
Oh, I guess this must be because for me lyrics are almost unimportant in music [except prog rock/metal where it sometimes matters]. I treat singing as just another instrument, which either sounds good, used impressively or not. For example, I love the singing voice of Coverdale from Whitesnake, but he could sing about going to a supermarket to buy undies, or simply recite a dictionary, what matters for me - like a true metalhead - is the meaning I can form myself based solely on the timbre, sound, and feelings the singing itself conveys, not the words. Words only matter if they are so good that they pique my attention, otherwise I expect singers to sing amazingly and with an authentic tone, and combined with the rest of the music convey a mood, a sonic pleasure, an atmosphere, an emotion, etc. I fill in the text myself, with reflections about my own experiences and feelings. Kinda like when listening to classical music.
Man, I never understood that. As soon as I like the song I immediately want to know/translate lyrics. In Poland before the Internet there were (and still are some) radio programs where they play a song (any genre) and translate the lyrics, because people here want to know what they're listening to. I remember in 2001 when Rammstein's Mutter came out and was a big hit in Poland and one of the most popular radio stations had a program about their lyrics; it's because of this audition my mom started listening to them.
That's because most metal and prog rock lyrics range from utterly dumb to absolutely nonsensical [with some notable exceptions], I mean when Ronnie James Dio sings with a voice forged by Thor himself in the sacred halls of Valhalla "Hoooooly Diveeeeeer" you immediately get the words, but what you actually should hear is how passionate he is about whatever a "holy diver" is
What's "convincing" and what carries the meaning is the mood and the passion conveyed, he could sing "poly driver" instead, but the delivery and the VOICE itself is what matters. This is the way most rock/metal fans listen to music. Sure, I can showcase some very intellectual and great lyrics in metal/rock, but they are instantly worthless if not sung amazingly.
It's binary: trustTH1, now we need to find out what TH1 stands for.
Its a computer protag in the story
But now you get it? Its sang amazingly, and yeah it means something, but that's kinda secondary
Yeah, I got that after some looking. Honestly when I saw the lyrics I paused the vid, translated them and proceeded to continue listening. Because of not knowing what they mean I couldn't focus on the music.Its a computer protag in the story
I am sure Arjen could craft a composition where this Kraftwerk part would fit nicely haha.
