Ideas I forgot I had pt billion: “part of what makes K-pop what it is is its refusal of a fresh/derivative dichotomy. And that’s also maybe what American pop struggles with: its own uneasiness with being an unapologetic ripoff without covering its tracks or being annoyingly winky about it.”

Hearing “Ironic” in a public space twice in one month after not hearing it for years, isn’t it ironic* *according to the definition in “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette

There’s a thing that happens in some art where diversions from conventions are exciting because you can still “see” the conventions, like a shore in the distance you’ve departed from. Then at some point you’re just at sea, the conventions are a distant memory. If you’re lucky you hit another shore.
