Is Machine Gun Kelly a Fraud?

The topic of Machine Gun Kelly is somewhat controversial. People don’t agree with the idea that he is helping to revive the Pop-Punk sound; instead, people have said Machine Gun Kelly is a fraud who switches genres and isn’t good at anything. So what exactly is Pop-Punk and is he actually bringing it back? 

Punk rock, according to Merriam Webster, is “rock music marked by extreme and often deliberately offensive expressions of alienation and social discontent,” and pop music  is music specifically designed for mass appeal and commercial success (musical dictionary). Thus, if you were to define the genre of pop-punk, it would be extreme and deliberately offensive expressions of alienation and social disconnect designed for mass appeal and commercial success. Machine Gun Kelly embodies this with not only his album Tickets To My Downfall but with Mainstream Sellout as well.  

Unlike older rap albums MGK had put out, Tickets and Mainstream Sellout have many punk/rock guitar and drum solos. This is partly due to the fact that drummer Travis Barker from the band Blink-182 had jammed out with him during quarantine in 2020 and things just streamlined from there (Life in Pink on Hulu). Travis then ultimately became MGK’s producer on a lot of the songs put out on the albums. Just another reason to believe that MGK is reviving pop punk; Having someone who is known for pop punk as someone who looks over and critiques your work would most certainly influence your sound as well. 

Taking a look specifically at Mainstream Sellout you would think that the main message of the album is that he is depressed, loves a woman and that he doesn't care what the internet is saying about him because he’s going to be himself and do what he wants regardless. 

A good example of that is the song Mainstream Sellout; where he goes on to say that he’s heard everything said about him and how people don’t quite support him. It seems like he’s listing out comments people have actually said to him, “leave the scene you’re ruining it, I’m a poser, does he even like, play guitar?”, which I think represents the idea of punk music because he is going against what social “norms” are. 

The idea that people have a set of ideals that one has to follow in order to be considered into a specific group is absurd. Once out of that group, you get “alienated” and targeted in order to “fix” yourself. MGK’s song ''Born with horns'' starts out saying it's hard to live and then he goes “alienate me i'm not the one you want, I feel so alienated.” This is him getting his emotions towards societal distress out into the world. 

Furthermore, the album has a track that sounds very similar to Adam's Song by Blink-182. The first guitar notes in Adam’s Song sound similar to Emo Girl by MGK and Willow, the back vocals-ish of the song, which makes me think that Blink-182 was also an inspiration of MGK’s music as a whole. Even on different albums as well, if you listen to 27 on Bloom, or Bad Motherfucker on General Admission (deluxe) you pick up rock vibes. 

In conclusion, MGK has a rock influence which is what makes his albums Tickets to my Downfall and Mainstream Sellout so good. He expresses so many emotions in his music and defies a lot of societal norms, as well as playing towards a larger audience. I believe his music is helping to revive the pop-punk genre.

Happy Birthday Piper Perabo!

[kellykswift]

But Daddy I love him - analysis and why I think Taylor reveals the real WB in it.

*Disclaimer: This is only my personal opinion.  I respect the Native American culture and my intend is not to offend anyone when linking Taylor to Lakota.

If you wanna skip to the part about WB, scorll to the end ;=)

Something that stood out for me was the shape / design of the lyrics of BUT DADDY I LOVE HIM

The lyrics are placed inside a triangle shape, which could represent the Lakota symbol. (it could also be a sandclock and 2 triangles but lets go with the lakota)

Its the Lakota symbol for Sun-Earth Connection. The inverted triangle on top symbolizes the stars and/or the Sun. The triangle on the bottom symbolizes earth sites. The Lakota strongly believe that there is a powerful connection between the Sun and the Earth.

It’s also believed that there are still earth and star maps, but they’re kept secret and rarely shown to others that don’t belong to the tribe. This is because these maps mark some of the Lakota people’s most sacred sites in the Black Hills.

The question is: Why Lakota, whats the connection? I get that Karlie is the sun but since when does Taylor have connections to Native American tribes? Well I googled Taylor + Lakota found something else from 2018:

Taylor Swift Denim Shorts by Madewell | POPSUGAR Fashion

Taylor wore an Elizabeth and James Lakota-T-Shirt in 2018 in London, before her REP concert.

So we got the FIRST Betty / James connection here. Karlie is Betty. Taylor is James.

This is form 2018. It’s a pride shirt. But we didnt know that Taylor was James back in 2018 .

But lets get back to the lyrics of BDILH. I think the first part is a conversation she is having with TS the brand.

I forget how the West was won

Well If you believe this is a reference to history then the answer is: a combination of exploration, settlement, conquest, and economic development (the discovery of gold for example). In conclusion: the west was won (taken) by white men. So Taylor makes it very clear in the first sentence. This is a song about power and money regarding TS the brand.

Too high a horse for a simple girl to rise above it

The phrase also implies a sense of determination or resilience, as it suggests that despite the challenges or obstacles. Taylor (the person, not the brand) is still striving to overcome them and rise above the situation.

They slammed the door on my whole world

The one thing I wanted

So white men, Sarahs and Hannahs (the heteronormative environment, also known as hetlors) forced Taylor to stay in the closet, because a queer Taylor woulnt make as much money as the straight Taylor Swift brand. Nice. I would be pissed as well.

Now I'm running with my dress unbuttoned

Running with a dress unbuttoned could symbolize feeling exposed or unprepared, as if one's defenses or usual barriers are down. I guess what she tries to say is that she never learned to speak for herself but something has changed (she met Karlie / or wanted to come out) and all of a sudden she needs to find a way.

Screaming "But Daddy I love him!"

I don’t think this has anything to do with her asking her dad for approval. I mean sure, maybe Scott didn’t accept her but I think she tried to point to Ariel – where this quote is from. The theme of love's power to overcome obstacles and the courage required to follow one's heart.

I'm having his baby

This could be a metaphor for : I am coming out

No, I'm not, but you should see your faces

Exactly what she said.

I'm telling him to floor it through the fences

But she wants to take action - maybe an agreement between her and her management?

No, I'm not coming to my senses

This is not a phase

I know he's crazy but he's the one I want

I am not gonna change. I love her.

So the next verse is interesting. I think she is having a flashback to an earlier situation, where she fell in love with a girl (maybe Emily?) and she didnt do anything because she was too young, too much of a good girl or simply scared.

Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid Tendrils tucked into a woven braid Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all He was chaos, he was revelry Bedroom eyes like a remedy Soon enough the elders had convened Down at the city hall "Stay away from her" The saboteurs protested too much Lord knows the words we never heard Just screeching tires and true love

Now she is back in the present and she is not scared anymore. So if she cant be with this person (Karlie) she will be the one who will take actions:

I'll tell you something right now I'd rather burn my whole life down Than listen to one more second of all this griping and moaning I'll tell you something about my good name It's mine alone to disgrace I don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empath's clothing

Uhh girlie is pissed about how they treated her back than. As she should! Fuck white old men.

There's a lot of people in town that I Bestow upon my fakest smiles Scandal does funny things to pride But brings lovers closer We came back when the heat died down Went to my parents and they came around All the wine moms are still holding out But it's over.

But also fuck her fans who defend her straighness like its the only thing that matters about Taylor. WTF. Anyways, she said it herself. Scandal does funny things to pride and brings lovers closer! Maybe so close, they write songs together and start a family?

Now I'm dancing in my dress in the sun and even my daddy just loves him

So the dress is not unbuttoned anymore, she is living a private live with her love (and the sun is Karlie), and eventually her team (dad) got around.

I'm his lady, and oh my God You should see your faces

Yes I wanna see those hetlor faces when she reveals that they are married with kids :P

Time, doesn't it give some perspective No, you can't come to the wedding I know he's crazy but he's the one I want

So this is basically giving hetlors the boot. They had so many chances accepting her and catching on. Instead they shipped her with men and defended her straightness.

I'll tell you something right now you ain't gotta pray for me

Oh.. and don’t forget to pray away the gay.

OKKK. so now the interesting part about WB.

Me and my wild boy and all of this wild joy

She uses wild twice. Pretty uncommon for her. But Wild boy could be WB. the real Willam Bowery.

He was chaos, he was revelry If all you want is gray for me Then it's just white noise, and it's my choice

This could be about her beards and how her fans only want her with men.

The gray part is the opposite from colors - screaming colors - rainbow colors.

But I guess she doesnt care anymore and she does whats right for her and Karlie (and their family).

anyways, I am usually not doing analysis and maybe this is 100% incorrect but I' ve tried :P

Swiftiepride Exchange Gift!

Hello @blankspacemafia! I wanted to say off the bat that it was a delight making this for you, and after spending time watching your lovely posts on Taylor's performance outfits, I could not resist doing this... I made an oversized doily decoration doohickey based on both the Eras tour costumes combined with outfits she wore over the years at the Grammies and in music videos!

So, this medallion is 23 inches across, it's washable, and has variable texture (the center is petals!)! The colors are more vibrant in person.

Under the cut we have an array of 14 outfits over the Eras tour that match the color changes of your medallion, with selections from Taylor's career! Colors are center-out (and oh my GOSH the pic where her dress is teal and her shoes are bright pink matches so well I was screaming) Images taken from various sites such as Popsugar, Vogue, Vanity Fair, and others, all credit to the photographers!

We start with the Eras tour, detour to the 2015 Grammies, 2014's Dick Clark award for Excellence, an Eras tour dress, a glimpse of a blue dress from Out of the Woods' music video, Eras tour again, the 1989 tour, 2008 Fearless tour and rounding it out, another dark teal dress for 2018's performance of Delicate!

I had hoped to add another aspect to this, to braid you a golden thread and send it along with a needle, so you could weave designs into this (with fray defender on the ends, so you could do it multiple times!) but I tried it and nothing looked good, and I didn't want to send you something frustrating! So I hope you like this, it's a reflection of, hopefully, your enjoyment of her fashion sense, a celebration of her years of work culminating in the Eras tour, and my handiwork!

There was a SNAFU (there were like 10 oh my gosh) with mailing this, a misunderstanding that means it'll take longer to get to you, but I'll get you a tracking number soon! Thanks for trusting me with sending you something I made! I battled some crazy stuff this May and it prevented me from being able to send you as many asks as I wanted, but what I was able to connect with you over was lovely! I hope you enjoy your gift! Happy Pride!! Tagging @swiftiepride so you can see the pictures!

Jennifer Lopez Wears a Plunging Black Bodysuit With a Striking High-Leg Cut

Jennifer Lopez is promoting her beauty line, JLo Beauty, wearing a simple and chic black bodysuit in a new campaign post that emerged on the brand's feed on Jan. 15. The look, which ensured that her flawless skin was on full display, boasts an '80s "Flashdance"-era silhouette, completed with a thong bottom, super-high leg cut above the hip, and plunging neckline that bared a hint of cleavage. Her hair and makeup were natural, aiding to the advertisement of her skin-care range, which is more about the health of your body and skin than the makeup added to your routine. Fun fact? Lopez wore the actual "Flashdance" bodysuit in her "I'm Glad" music video back in 2003, so pulling off this aesthetic (also reflected in the Norma Kamali look she rocked in June) is certainly in her blood. This particular JLo Beauty promotional image comes at the brand's one-year anniversary, having originally launched on New Year's Day in 2021 after two decades of discussion. Right on the heels of her Barbiecore workout look that was posted for Bodyarmor last week, this shoot is a bit cleaner and sleeker in style as well as in color palette. While Lopez wears her bodysuit as a fully skin-baring look, it's one of our favorite wardrobe essentials to layer with other basics. With any of the bunch-free, seamless designs ahead, you need little more than some vintage denim or a silk slip skirt to finish the outfit. As such, take a cue from Lopez's playbook, and shop some classic black thong bodysuits, with styles for every body shape and budget.

January Mini Challenge

So since I’m only doing one official reading challenge this year (Popsugar) - never mind that I’m also doing a book bingo created by a friend too - in typical Capricorn fashion, that isn’t enough and I need to make more work for myself, so I’ve added on the 2023 challenge created by @godzilla-reads. Which is a lot less involved but still some added fun prompts! And I made myself a copy of the list for my bulletin board as well.

Actually, one of the downsides of doing too many challenges in the past few years has been not having time for rereads, which I really miss. I grew up going to the library constantly and only really buying books if I’d already checked them out and reread them again and again a few times… at that point it’s easier to own a copy yourself! Rereading old favorites is one of the best parts of reading in general to me, so I’m glad for the excuse this month to revisit a favorite! So for choose a book that you enjoyed as a teenager to reread, it was an immediate reaction to pick up Just Listen again.

[ad_1] "Stranger Things" season four will premiere on Netflix in two volumes, and costume designer Amy Parris has filled us in on all the wardrobe details that these new episodes will bring. As the aesthetic shift from fictional town Hawkins, IN, to California takes place, it was important to differentiate between settings by color palette, Parris explained to POPSUGAR. Characters Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dusty (Gaten Matarazzo), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Will (Noah Schnapp), Max (Sadie Sink), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), and Robin (Maya Hawke) meet newcomers Argyle (Eduardo Franco), Jason Carver (Mason Dye), and Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) in the '80s, so there are plenty of bold fashion choices. Jason and Lucas embrace jock culture in varsity jackets and streamlined polos; meanwhile, Mike, Jonathan, and Argyle tend toward skater style, with Parris pulling from classic California surf brands like Bones Brigade, Santa Cruz, Gecko Hawaii, Maui and Sons, Hobie, Hang Ten, and Vans. Parris's team thrifts for a large portion of the "Stranger Things" wardrobe. Some of their go-to vintage stores include Meow in Long Beach, CA; The Stash on York in Los Angeles; Recursive Vintage in Delaware; and Rue St. Denis in New York. Since the series is filmed in Atlanta, Parris maintains relationships with local vintage vendors who send clothing directly to the set. "We take a look and keep what we like or need, and send back what we do not anticipate using," she says. "This saves us a lot of time when we can't leave Atlanta to shop in Philadelphia, Florida, or any of the other hot spots we get some of our vintage from." The popular Netflix series has inspired countless '80s-themed collections, from cosmetic lines with MAC and Merci Handy to apparel like Champion sweats and Jansport bags. Parris shared that some of her design inspiration stems from true icons of the decade, like James Hetfield of Metallica and Sarah Jessica Parker's character Patty Greene from "Square Pegs." Ahead, scroll through first-look images from "Stranger Things" season four, and take a peek at a few behind-the-scenes fitting photos Parris shared exclusively with POPSUGAR. window.fbAsyncInit = function() FB.init( appId : '175338224756', status : true, // check login status xfbml : true, // parse XFBML version : 'v8.0' ); ONSUGAR.Event.fire('fb:loaded'); ; // Load the SDK Asynchronously (function(d) var id = 'facebook-jssdk'; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; if (typeof scriptsList !== "undefined") scriptsList.push('src': 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js', 'attrs': 'id':id, 'async': true); (document)); [ad_2] Source link
