Is this guy a fucking idiot? Letting the government control the distribution of music is possibly the worst idea, need we forget authoritarian regimes that control these sort of things for the sake of censorship?
>>121531376>the government should be paying me for making musicI fucking hate artists and I am happy most of them are struggling to get by.If I ever change my streaming service from Spotify I will make sure to use one that pays them even less
>>121531376>car seat headrestTalk about washed up. This guy was the next big thing in like 2015-16, now nobody cares
thats how it is in korea, thats the reason kpop is a thing.Goverment funded pop music to use as soft power. would be awful cause you know it would still be shitskins and pop sluts, not any cool experimental or indie music
>>121531398Yes, the government should pay people making cultural exports that they benefit from. Dumbass
>>121531420you can't read
>>121531376The US should focus on giving its people healthcare or education first before worrying about state subsidized streaming services.
>>121531420when kpop groups come to my city the gigs are always sponsored by samsung, hyunday and the local korean embassy. it's like they don't even bother to hide it.
>>121531434Please keep your filthy paws off my tax moneyPlease enlighten me how did Car Seat Headrest's music benefitted the USA's interest
>>121531376If it's an American government service it would actually be forced to not censor. Kind of like a musical Library of Congress. The way the government currently gets away with censorship is through corporate proxies. They will have a much harder time doing it if they have no corporations to hide behind
>>121531398art is an important part of national cultural identity and the government should cultivate that if they even remotely care about progressing culture. not a difficult thing to understand
>>121531486>art is an important part of national cultural identity and the government should cultivate that if they even remotely care about progressing culture. not a difficult thing to understandIt's been progressing perfectly fine for the past 200 years without it. I see no reason why billions of tax money going towards replicating a service we already have would help progressing anything
>>121531450You're right, but the post you're replying to has a point: If Car Seat Headrest's idea somehow came to pass, what would stop the government from adjusting their algorithms to favor their genre of choice and push that onto the masses via recommendations and such?
>>121531452That money goes to wars first. If there's any money left, we can consider discussing infrastructure
>>121531469it gave gay furries something to relate to
>>121531470in theory yes due to the first amendment but in practice many nations violate their own constitutions all the time when it's convenient
>>121531453Thinking you need to hide that kind of thing is a very western mindset. You'll see more and more brazen behaviour like this by governments and corporations as the west transforms and that's a good thing.
>>121531376>After careful consideration I decided that the best way to proceed is to take your tax money and give it to me and my musician buddiesYeah, no.
>>121531518the government has heavily subsidized the arts in the past, there was particular attention paid to the arts in the mid 20th century (40s-80s) which is arguably the time where america was at its most culturally productive. believe it or not but artists make better art if they don't have to split their time between two part time jobs at the same time. the reason music went through such an explosion of creativity in music in the uk from the 60s-80s was because they introduced an unconditional welfare payment that allowed musicians to get by without having to work at the same time. when thatcher slashed that in the late 80s music in the uk correspondingly got worse and more stagnant, because unsuccessful musicians just beginning their careers no longer had the means to focus on their art, so nothing new was getting made
>>121531518retard
>>121531710>The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and David Bowie made good music because the government offered welfare paymentsBrainrot
>>121531376>need we forget authoritarian regimes that control these sort of things for the sake of censorship?so basically the chud half of america would support the fuck out of this to promote "trad" values
governments usually fund touring, like the us gov't helps fund bands going to other countries to spread american values, see adam neely's video about going overseas. I think the beth's music or some of their music videos were funded partially by their new zealand government and while it's catchy I can't hear any personal expression in it at all.I would rather listen to homemade self-funded demos than polished studio recordings made with taxpayer's money because regardless of what retards want to claim context is important and informs the music and helps enrich the listening experience.tl;dr- musicians need to get a fucking job
>>121531747the beatles and bowie were established and well-connected before they were even out of school, the stones formed before the new welfare policy and notably struggled financially in the beginning, and led zeppelin was formed by members who already had connections. i'm particularly talking about the punk and post-punk eras (as well as industrial) in the 70s and early 80s where people genuinely could get by being weird autodidacts, drug addicts, occultists, etc. without needing to hold down a steady job, which meant a lot of people who wouldn't ordinarily have the time or space to fully delve into their ideas were able to introduce them to the musical landscape. people disconnected from the music industry and working-class people who didn't have parents who could bankroll their lifestyle could live off their music. good art isn't profit driven and societies that don't allow artists to live as artists don't produce good art
>>121531870chuds would support the free market solution letting you pick the platform that best aligns with your values rather than letting the govt have an unaccountable monopolyt. chud
Why won't anyone post what he looks like now
>>121532531
>>121532486you would totally support it if chuds were in control of government, though
I think we should hunt down furries and bash their brains with a baseball bat.
>>121532578Stop posting pictures of your aunt, and tell her to get to the electrologist asap
>>121531398Based, I have never supported anyone in the art business. They can all eat a dick, bunch of entitled spoiled fags. I even bootleg my own merch. FUCK THEM.
>>121532578it's insane he isn't hapa
>>121531398>good thing happens to someone>seethesDid a guy in a band steal veronica from you or something?
>>121533233Reminds me of a songhttps://youtu.be/juVsrd91Kmw?si=jUbL349sv59DRs53
>>121532578Why are male celebrities only allowed to challenge societal expectations by being a fucking faggot?
>>121532964literally advertising their bands on your body for free and you think you're winning
>>121531376Typical cuck take from the guy who makes music for gay cucks
they'd want this because library tax dollars are waaaaay more money per listener than anything online.so a government tax dollar streaming service will be set at what rich retirement age senators think is fair, and it will also pay mad money.and restrict all those dirty foreign musicians from participating as paid acts.so if it were possible, you'd get mad money and kill the competition
>>121531376If this happened, it would immediately blow up in his face because niggers would get disproportionately rejected from the service for having lyrics revolving around pornography and gang violence, and then the libtards who wanted it in the first place would turn around and cry racism
>>121531453>it's like they don't even bother to hide it.Why would they at this point? They know the average person is retarded and will still follow trends no matter what.
>>121533251Go to the shill thread faggot
>>121533332I didn't make the song you schizo. It's a reissue of an older album
>>121531730 Not an argument
>>121531376>"reeeeeeeeeee fucking government will just censor shit they don't like">*goes back to using streaming services that won't carry artists of specific political orientations*rightoids have 0 self-awareness
The government has used art and entertainment for agitprop for a long time, it's not anything new. In the 80s the US State Department made use of rock music and Hollywood as a weapon to win the Cold War. Sometimes like with Top Gun and Rocky IV the propaganda didn't even disguise itself.
>>121531398why use a streaming service at all then?
>>121535206the 80s was when country music became an advertisement for the Republican Party and was ruined as a result
>>121531398what life choices leads one to be as bitter as this?
>>121535057you're so wrong you didn't necessitate one
>>121535206Anything since 2010? That's propaganda of a different kind. So don't think it hasn't always been this way to an extent.
>>121533280Kek
>>121531376>suddenly all eyez on me is the only 2pac album you can listen to
>>121532578This guy talks like a fag and his shits all retarded.
>>121535412>is that....IS THAT A MINORITY IN A MOVIE?????? AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M GOING INSANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THIS IS PROPAGANDA DESIGNED TO MAKE ME GAYRethuglicans and their persecution complexes will never fail to make me laugh.
>>121531376if he's a washed libcuck idiot why are you too pussy to reply to him?
>>121535206>name drops James Brown in this song>James Brown has a top 10 hit around the same time with a nearly identical songThanks for arranging that, glowies. 'Preciate it.
>>121531376>Is this guy a fucking idiot?Yes
>>121533280>wypipo did dis
This is why Canadian tv shows are so bad
>>121531376>Let the government control everything I'd rather the big corporations than that
>>121532578Dios mío...Espíritu del Señor. Espíritu de Dios, Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo, Santísima Trinidad, Virgen Inmaculada, ángeles, arcángeles y santos del paraíso, descended sobre mí. Fúndeme, Señor, lléname de ti. Expulsa de mi todas las fuerzas del mal, aniquílas, destrúyelas. Expulsa de mí los maleficos, la magia negra, el ogro de las tinieblas, el luz extinguido, el americano... Por favor, destruye la infestación diabólica; todo lo que es mal, pecado, envidia, celos y perfidia; la enfermedad física, psíquica, moral, espiritual y diabólica... destruye al monstruo, a la creatura... Quema a este mal en el infierno, para que nunca más me toquen a mí ni a ningun ser. Ordeno y mando con la fuerza de Dios omnipotente, en nombre de Jesucristo Salvador, por intermedio de la Virgen Inmaculada, a todos los espíritus inmundos, a inmediatamente, que me abandonen definitivamente y que se vayan al infierno eterno. El chupa-chupacabras no puede triunfar, el monstruo, el abominación... debe morir... Encadenado por San Miguel arcángel, por San Gabriel, por San Rafael, aplastado bajo el talón de la Virgen Santísima Inmaculada, aleja el aberración genetíca, al ogro de las Americas... Amén.
>>121535490Excuse me my good non-binary xir, but there were movies like that in the 80s like Beverly Hills Cop and nobody cared. What's being referenced is more the 2016 Ghostbusters movie which was obvious landwhale feminist propaganda underwritten with ESG bucks.
>>121535490>If Trump gets his hands on the nuclear codes black people will be forced to pick cotton againSlippery slope fallacy's a bitch innit
>>121535206You have to be a zog soldier to get in on this though. If you’re parents aren’t in on it you’re out of luck
Toby Keith's Unleashed was also one of the most obvious pieces of propaganda that the Bush administration bought and paid for. I don't think anyone ever doubted that.
>>121531376>authoritarian regimes that control these sort of things for the sake of censorship?You literally already have this.A corporation in the middle making itself richer than God with your money does not affect that existing relationship of power.
>>121532578twinkchud, the rarest of chuds
>>121535610>but there were movies like that in the 80s like Beverly Hills Cop and nobody caredif it came out today, you'd be seething nonstop. if alien came out today, you'd be seething nonstop because it had a woman lead.
>>121531376The government has a had time making a functioning website
>>121531376The government streaming platform idea is weird as hell, but governments subsidizing artists is not unheard of at all.
>>121531419there were rumors he posted here because his shit got posted in bandcamp threads before he was famous
They're begging for patreon money now, are they going broke? Is their audience still strong? I completely stopped following them around 2017
>MADLO was 6 years agocsh sisters............
>>121537417If Alien came out today they would probably cast Lena Dunham or other such hamplanets.
>>121539809and they'd make sure to have the scene with Ripley in little teeny tiny panties except it's Lena Dunham
>>121531956the beatles were only "well-connected before they were out of school" because George was still in high school when they got a record deal retard. They slaved in shit conditions for years before their work paid off. No industry connections or government welfare.
>>121531376These freaks always want taxpayer money
>>121540425yes so the point i'm making is if bands did not have to slave in shit conditions for years before their work pays off there would be more opportunity for good bands to have a real shot at being seen
>>121544017we know the beatles, we don't know any of the very good, maybe even equally talented bands coming up around the same time who had to quit music because it wasn't financially viable. the beatles got lucky, i'm proposing a system where you don't have to get lucky for good musicians to have a chance to actually make their good music
>>121535362Choices good enough that I don't have to cry on twitter to get the government to pay my salary with your tax dollars
it would be a hell of a lot easier to just create legislation that specifically targets spotify. regulate their asses.>>121531518>It's been progressing perfectly fine for the past 200 years without i??? what>replicating a service we already have right now the money goes to suits. his idea is to have it go to artists>>121531398>I fucking hate artists and I am happy most of them are struggling to get by.two more weeks!>>121531747>The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and David Bowiewow some deep cuts there zoom-zoom what about bob dylan though?
>>121531518>It's been progressing perfectly fine for the past 200 years without it.Don't agree with headrest but what is this take
>>121532578cut the hair, grow a beard and mustache, and start smoking
