>>1 Semi-old thread, but WTF is OP talking about? Pop punk has millions of listeners every day that are not children. They're surplus value, demoralized, delayed-maturity teenagers and young adults. Obviously, when we get to a site such as denpa-chan, & niche parts of YouTube, where the average user has co-morbid mental illness & social anxiety, there's going to be a lot of people who haven't grown up enough to be comfortable in their own skin yet. This is primarily who pop punk gives a voice to. It's a banner you hang up, for the purposes of showing off, to other people, that you DO belong. It's a line you draw in the sand.
Personally, I've never liked shitty kickflips. Or anyone else, for that matter, who takes denpa-NEET culture, runs it through an Instagram-twomad editing filter, and uploads the final product exclusively to Silicon Valley(Google, Facebook, TikTok)'s data-mining money machine, just to make it go down easier for normals.
This paragraph is mostly my opinion, but, I mean, just listen to SK's music. Think about what their musical output is, the types of people who "bump" it while they play vidya indoors, and then think about who's going to be around in the near future (five, ten, fifteen years later) to appreciate it, & keep the torch alive. Compare everything that's now rattling around inside your head, to the musical project their channel is named after (Lemon Meringue Die - SHITTY DOUBLE KICKFLIPS), youtube com watch?v=5tZhgDNvEvA
...
Is it actually a competition?
Maybe, just maybe, there should be an unofficial custom on the site. One where we don't take anyone too seriously, until we know, for a fact, that they're not an active user of 1. Discord 2. Instagram 3. TikTok or 4. Twitter, and its' alternatives
Maybe, if we just apply this soft rule a little more stringently, always keeping it in the back of our minds, it's possible that we could see a noticeable increase in the quality of each of these /meta/ posts.
Maybe, it would even help lower the amount of /meta/ posts in general. Because we'd all be on the same page on who's in it for the long haul, and who's here to hang around for just a summer or two.
