TGP is talking unironically about Billie Eilish

[Thunkful]

... mumblers these days...

That one word kinda sums up how I feel about many "modern" singers, mate; I can't for the life of me understand what the Hell they're saying.

Take arguably the most-popular these past few years - Ariana Grande. It sounds to me like she's singing with her mouth almost-closed. Ridiculous. She hits the notes great, but that means little if the listener has to strain to discern what you're trying to articulate. The last thing you wanna do when creating music art (99% of the time), is detract from it by requiring the listener to maintain a left-brain focus in order to calculate stuff that ought to simply flow into the brain / be a natural part of the experience. IMHO.

It's no different from having a conversation with someone; you don't want to have to make a huge effort to understand the words he or she's using.

That singing style stems from the whole hipster indie bullcrap that hit the ciritcal mass somewhere in early 2010's. It pretty much sums up in one thing and that is being pretentious.

Congratulations. You’ve done what many thought impossible. You’ve effortlessly combined the grouchy narrow-mindedness of a senior with the whining helplessness of a tween.

Keep practicing those “sweeping arpeggios.” Maybe someday someone will have heard of you.

So you've been pretty much told off now and now you resort in age remarks that seem to be intelligent in your mind, but end up sounding like a fucking bullied neckbeard that listens to indiepop while creaming his pants. Imagine being this much of a fucking dolt.

This is why abortion is a thing.

You'll get no argument from me, brother.

The jealousy runs strong in you...

The argument about "crappy art" doesn't hold water. I'm sure some people thought Picasso was a buffoon at the time.

Also, the line "So you've been pretty much told off now" is exactly the manner of speaking that one would expect from a stereotypical Billie fan. I.E. a 15 year old girl/boy/zurg

Thanks for telling me! It was like having my work boots bitten by a chihuahua; I wouldn’t have known unless you told me.

Since you insist on having the last word and have lots of free time, can I ask if you summoned enough chihuahua balls to tell off those Billie Ellish fanboys at TGP?

talk about a meltdown

Lol mumbling started well before the 2010's.

Chris Cornell - the king of the mumble. Kurt Cobain learned much from him. Don't get me started on Eddie Vedder. You ever try to decipher the words to Yellow Ledbetter?

I'm sure the 80's had some mumblers also, but considering that decade was musical shit except for the thrash metal that was happening, I really don't know who they would be.

I can't fathom the amount of success she has already at 18. I was sitting in my room trying and failing to get all the licks from Paul Gilberts instructional video down. But she looks exactly like a dude I knew back in the late 80's. Weird.

this forum in a nutshell:
