Are You a Swiftie?
Sep 17th, 2023 at 2:50pm
 
     Taylor Swift has taken the world by storm.  She is certainly the current "it" girl.  Are you swept up in this wave of mass adoration?
      I'm not.  I think she has a good voice, she's reasonably pretty, and seems like a good person.  I don't hate her or her songs but I don't purchase any of her music and generally don't listen to it.  I wish her continued success and a long and happy life.  But I honestly don't see what the fuss is about. 
     So am I wrong?  Am I missing something?  Is she really all that?

I wouldn't be able to name a song of hers if I was asked, and wouldn't be able to identify her as the artist if I did hear one.

I have absolutely nothing against Taylor Swift or people who enjoy her music.  It's just never been something I heard in passing and took much interest in, or had any desire/curiosity to seek out.

I don't particularly like or dislike Taylor Swift's music or have anything against it. It's just not the music I listen to very often.

That being said, I do think that her music has improved in recent years, and maybe that's why so many people like it.

Once, Toivo and Eino were out hunting, and before setting out, Toivo told Eino to fire three shots in the air if he got lost, and Toivo would find him. Soon enough, Eino got lost, aimed his weapon up and prayed: "God, please let Toivo see my arrows!"

I think for the most part I don't listen to any up to date music. Usually the select good stuff that remains after the passage of a decade is decent.

The music is fine, but I think the cult-like nature of the fan base really freaks me out

Let me know when she makes a cover of Dark Side of the Moon. I still wont listen but at least I will respect her taste in music.

I have nothing against her but for me music died in the mid to late 2000's. If we include Muse maybe a few years longer. Im getting old...I know I dont look it, but I feel it. Like butter scraped over too much bread.

My life has changed and I now inhabit the same space as a 10 year old female.
Although this changes each year as she gets older !
As a result I am now aware that a Tailer Swift is a female musician not a rapid squirrel.
Were you paying attention to the attention fragmentation / discord servers rant ?
If a melodic concordance of sounds pleases your ears then be happy.
If you listen to music because the music industry, in chasing profit is pushing the latest big thing on you -as it has been doing since before before the Beatles, Abba, The Osmonds, Michael Jackson- then it is time to seek life insurance.
Be happy and seek solace in your sling.
Like bikers,
To those who understand, no explanation is necessary.
To those who do not, no explanation is possible.

My outlook on life is Aristotalean; on seeing an Acorn I see a potential oak tree rather than Plato's view that it is a failed copy.
