Someone forbade you to make music?
Way to dodge the point! Next lesson in mental gymnastics tutorial is blocking. Press X to continue.
Was this written by the cheapest, worst AI?
Ugly people make music all the time.
You really gonna tell me Ed Sheeran is good looking? Post Malone?
Adele isn’t that good looking as well, but she is well loved as a singer.
You’ve got some warped standards for beauty.
Is that Ed!? Holy shite he’s really changed his look!
Tap for spoiler

But the contention is about music being better, and that’s some bad music.
Did we read the same post?
Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it
I guess your comment makes sense if you find those two attractive.
Like I get the boomer joke of music these days sucks but my comment was leaning into joke.
Your comment makes sense in the frame of “ugly people are allowed to make music,” my comment refers to the “music was better” part of the post.
The ugly people you mentioned don’t support your comment’s argument against the original assertion because their music is terrible, not “better.”
Some music sucked in the boomer’s days, made by ugly and pretty people alike.
He’s simply disputing the assertion that ugly people aren’t allowed to make music.
Yeah, that’s what the comment you replied to starts with.
Pop is just as manufactured and fake as it always was, with the exceptional trend setter or two doing their own thing, but what’s just below the surface is always just as good as it always was.
As a fan of hardcore, electronica, folk, metal, and all of the genres that fall under them, I still get new bands. I still get new releases. I get cheap as fuck concerts and still get cool merch and awesome vinyls. I have zero to complain about. Hell, Primus, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer just made an album together, in 2024.
Anyone who says music sucks now doesn’t really listen to that much music to start with. Music is just fine, man. Maybe look a little deeper than the pudding skin.
An album called?
Is this showerthoughts or oldbumperstickers?
Not every thought I have in the shower is original.
^ Uses 80s iconography to make fun of GenX’s parents.
Isn’t it ironic?
Depends if you ask a linguist or Alanis Morissette
A little too ironic
Moreso than a traffic jam, when you’re already late for work?
Imagine how much less beautiful the world would be if this face weren’t allowed to succeed
Young Mic Jagger was a snacc.
Nah, ugly ppl still make the music, behind the scenes :p
Just about to comment this. Singers these days are usually the “face.”
Blah blah blah blah old man yells at sky
Indie labels still allow ugly people on stage!
Pop / major label’s job is more on the money side than the music. We don’t se ugly people in adverts either.
Not really related to that stupid boomer post, but ho crazy is it that that ugly british lady won music star or popstar or whatever and everyone was like: oh my god this is insane, ugly people can do things? They are almost like real people.
“music was better when…”
Any version of this makes the speaker sound suuuper old and bitter. 😂
What do you mean? there are plenty of British recording artists
Lol, do you think only pop star music exist? It’s actually the contrary that happend. Now, more than ever, anyone can make music. This is a really bad take.
This is a really bad take.

Yeah, by recycling a phrase so popular you can buy it on bumper stickers and tshirts and literally reposted from reddit r/showerthoughts six years ago.
slow clap
Music was better when I used to look at the back of an album and the credits were like a dozen people. I’m sorry to people who like Beyonce, Gaga etc. But you look at their albums and they have hundreds of writers, engineers, producers, mixers, etc. What do these celebrities actually do anymore? Just show up and read the lines and the crew takes care of the rest? I’m sorry but that to me isn’t a good artist or musician, that’s just manufactured branding.
There is a reason Beyoncé is labeled a performer. I don’t believe many of them could ever sing, the popular ones are all autotune performers.
Yea that’s why metal fuckin rules. We got the ugliest guys ever altogether in one room and said “what you got?” and they became legends
And for anyone that might say that doesn’t happen anymore, I ask: how many open mic nights or $20 shows have you been to lately? The scene is doing great in my area, but it doesn’t happen by magic. Ya gotta support it, spread the word, bring your friends.
Most of my favorite artists are beautiful tho… Mikael Akerfeldt, Alexi Laiho (RIP), Devin Townsend, Shagrath…
I also thought Alexi was hot, but I’ve never heard anyone else say that until now.
Also Tosin Abasi (founder of Animals as Leaders), but I’d be shocked if anyone said he isn’t attractive.
Edit: some pics and tunes.
