Pff. It would have been Journey with that Filipino guy instead of Steve Perry.
I know that guy sounded exactly like Steve Perry, but it still wouldn’t have been Journey with Steve Perry. That Filipino guy might be a great singer, but he wasn’t in the shitty arcade game I kept putting quarters in for some reason.
Just another Elon fail.
Put some respect on Arnel Pineda’s name.
Admittedly, I didn’t know his name. I just think of him as the Filipino guy who sounds almost exactly like Steve Perry.

Correct! I made sure to link the post itself in the description
Aah… I didn’t notice that. But of course I wanted people to see the name as well.
Eh who cares where it’s from. Once it’s on the internet it’s everyone’s.

I want a shitty made-up quotes community. I don’t want to moderate one, so I request that someone please make it and bump me with a link 😁
Low Quality Facts, the account that made this has a lot of these kinds of made up quotes. https://mstdn.social/@lowqualityfacts

I made a community for low quality facts (the account that originally posted this and similar media) and fake celebrity quotes falls under this community: [email protected]
Might be the most unpopular opinion but Swift has thrived off the ticket price racket and if occasional rumor is true has encouraged it.
She now has the money to throw around to make people like her for her so-called “charitable” disposition (oh, she throws stacks to her stage team and buys rounds for bars).
She is the most mainstream mediocre-music-producing singer to exist in this age who has managed to get stupidly rich off of purely mediocre music but well-produced shows.
Just because you don’t like her music doesn’t mean it’s mediocre or that you are somehow more evolved. When it comes to personal taste, how do you decide who’s opinion is the right one - like you have taken it upon yourself to do and gate keep ‘good’ music. Her music is undeniably popular and all of those people who like it would disagree with you about it being mediocre. So what makes you right and them wrong? There is no objectivity when it comes to things like music, only subjectivity.
Before you jump on me and label be a Taylor Swift fan, the big reveal is, I’m not. I have no problem with you saying “I think her music is mediocre” but that is different to saying " her music is mediocre" the former is an opinion, the latter is trying to paint an opinion as a fact.
This comment will probably not be received well simply because so many people seem to dislike Taylor Swift on here and will miss my point. Taylor Swift is irrelevant to my point, sub in any band or artist if you need to understand that.
Nah I agree. I also have to remind myself of similar when talking about artist I don’t like. You gotta give props where they’re due and I think her sales number do a lot of that talking. I don’t like most of her music either, won’t deny I loved blank spaces but have been aware of Swifties for a minute. Again however, any shade I throw at the first coworker who I’m thinking of I can’t do without mentioning it was over a decade ago. Swift has had a growing, nearly fervent fan base since. As “pop” as it may be, which I don’t generally like, if I thought it was that shit why don’t I go out and make said shit and become a millionaire?
if I thought it was that shit why don’t I go out and make said shit and become a millionaire?
Because the key ingredient is not the music but the amount of luck.
Starting out with money and connections generally helps. I don’t know if that’s the case with her though.
It is, to a degree.
She’s no billy strings.
And thats the reason people dont like talking about taylor swift the great musician, because thats not what happened.
Just because you don’t like her music doesn’t mean it’s mediocre or that you are somehow more evolved.
In fact, having an irrational hate for whatever is popular at the moment probably makes you less mature than the average person.
I think what they mean is that its not taylor swifts music that is impressive. She spends a lot of time nurturing her fan base and puts on the kinds of shows they want to see.
I think its fair to have the discussion around whether its difficult to write the music she does. I’d argue the instrumentals are usually very simple, and many songs use electronic versions rather than live instruments. Its both over simplistic and mechanical but its very catchy and repetitive.
The lyrical content is another side of it and she is a strong singer, although the perspective she carries in songs misses with a lot of the older crowd for some reason. She comes across to me as someone who is adept at turning misfortune into fortune. After long enough its hard to feel bad for misfortune when you know it will work out in her advantage anyways, and I’m sure she knows this too.
I agree with your post for the most part but “I think” are wasted words. Every statement is a something someone thinks unless they cite a source. Only include “I think” if you’re doubting your opinions.
Her music might not be special. It definitely doesn’t give me goosebumps like the music of my favorite bands sometimes does. But it isn’t mediocre either, it’s well-made and produced by very competent people. She became super popular on a global scale long before her big shows.
I mean, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this meme and its popularity are an expression of that same sentiment.
She sucks, but that’s less of an unpopular opinion now.
It’s not about her music, it’s about the conspiracy. The music is just a backdrop to some ridiculously complex multi-year story that she’s weaving through the lyrics, her outfit choices, her boyfriend choices (real or fake), etc.
She’s built a conspiracy cult. And apparently that’s profitable.
As a former sound guy- for a lot of acts, a sternum punch before they perform would be preferable. Especially if it lands you in the ER so you don’t have to hear it.
The Taylor Swift we know and love.
Sternum punch! Sternum punch!
Slay girl!!!
When she’s done with him the crowd rushes the stage to feast on his remains.
Oh great Taylor-sama! You have provided for us again, Lord of the tweens!Remains? Goddamn, how hard do you think she punches?
Enough to be covered in entrails, providing a nice segue to an encore performance of Shake It Off.
FINISH HIM!
Taylor Wins
FATALITY
I legit wasn’t sure if this was a real thing she did that started as a friendly joke or something.
Actually, I’m still not sure.
The “source” listed is a mastodon account called “low quality facts”. Take that as you will.
So true?
Snap, lose it. Fake him with the mic, idiot goes for it. Right cross to the sterum. Ever since I’ve been the champ.
This got a far more boisterous laugh from me than I would have expected. But then again, I love absurdist humor.
I still say she’s Napoleon Dynamite in drag
The “source” you posted is just a link to the same post on Mastodon. I want to hear a recording of Taylor actually saying this.
She didn’t. The source is the post on mastodon by “Low Quality Facts” an account that makes stuff up and then posts it within 5 minutes of thinking about it.
I think you might’ve eaten the onion.
I’m just going to go ahead and throw a *woosh* here cause unfortunately I’m not nearly as clever as KenM with the followup replies.
She is going to be the next trump in a few decades
Shake it off and grab them women by the pussy. You can do that because you’re rich
