haters gonna hate

i like "Fortnight" and "thanK you aIMee"

anyway, i generally don't like slow songs, and this has many.

with that said, i find it strange that ppl are bitching about too many songs being released. I don't care if every song isn't a masterpiece. I'd read taylor swift's draft notebooks. it's what she wanted to do, so i try to keep an open mind.

maybe it's not as big of a deal to her either. if you could make songs faster than other people--like a "Steven King" type that doesn't have a problem with productivity, I think you're just naturally okay with releasing less polished material.

artists can do w/e they want: heavily edit and release small amounts, but i'd prefer a greater volume, even if it's rough draft materials.

so anyway, if you wrote 300 songs in 2022-2023, maybe you wouldn't think it was a big deal to release a 30-song album.

I listened to "Fortnight". It sounded like a generic 80s song.

well, if it did that would be awesome. if you could perfectly recreate the zeitgeist of 40 years ago in anything i'd be impressed.

anyway the song is synthwave, with more of a 2010-2012 kind of vibe.

see this song:

synthwave is itself absolutely trying to be 80s music, however you can tell the difference. in general synthwave tends to be nostalgic and depressed in a way that maybe the Cure got into back then, but most didn't.
