Killing animals for art is still killing animals for no good reason at all.
I was going to ask if people do this, and then I remembered that there was an art installation where a guy dangled an HIV-positive assistant over the audience and the guy cut himself and bled over the spectators.
To be fair, disco absolutely saturated the airwaves at one point in the late '70s, to the point that a lot of live music venues closed down and became discotheques because of the bubble. This also lead to a lot of sub-par disco novelty crap becoming ridiculously popular while the more innovative stuff got pushed to the side.
I have heard that this is mostly a myth, but I do not know if that is accurate.
Still, it's been a half century. You'd think people would be over it by now.
I mean, worthwhile stuff still got popular, but there was plenty of dubious material on the market. I have relatives who can testify to the ubiquity of the genre during certain formative years of their lives, for good and for ill. It wasn't a very big window but, much like the current situation with brostep... it was enough.
Now, as to getting over it, I totally agree. But I think that most people of taste have.

So
y'know.
I don't really doubt it.
...I don't get the art world.
Installation art is what you do if you're crazy but not crazy enough that you don't want to profit from your insanity.
Was brostep ever alive? The only pop song I ever heard that had pop-dubstep elements was that "Too Close To Love You" song, which I didn't hear often enough to get sick of.
I know Skrillex was like, popular, but I never heard him played on pop radio.

same. i think the big deal was it was an american producer getting big for the first time in a while + his drops on Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites with the growly FM synth sounded really out-there compared to pretty much anything else in his popularity range so people were like "wow such amazing sound design so future"
I don't understand how some of y'all are as popculturally isolated as you are.
I mean like, he's not obscure, and he's not popular only in rap circles, he's a pretty well-known pop rapper even if most people can't necessarily name any of his recent songs offhand.

(*shrug*) i mean like the name rings a bell but when i googled him i thought it would be that one white producer dude with the large beard but apparently that is someone else.
only pop rappers i can think of off the top of my head know of are like nicki minaj and kanye that other person who did that one song that has been on the radio forever and also chief keef if he counts idk

I have a lot of ancillary knowledge about rappers from hanging out with kids from church, back in the day.
And I remember seeing Tyler's weird cockroach-eating music video on the TVs in the cafeteria (they were tuned to...university MTV? Something like that)

That's Rick Rubin. ._.
oh.
yeah that dude is awful.
This guy thinks Rick Rubin is awful.
this dude is awful.
oh you're talking about the rock things he has produced.
Yeah I have no idea about any of those, and to be completely fair he's not very good anymore, given that for the last 10 years the handful of songs he's made seem to have just been various samples of Billy Squire songs.
But saying he's "awful" in general and discounting his role in the development of hip-hop is kind of wrong.

I know Skrillex was like, popular, but I never heard him played on pop radio. Yacht rap?

I'm not trying to be mean, it's just confusing.

I mean he's like, somewhat popular, but that video/song is the most airplay he's ever gotten and likely ever will get.

Popular is I can buy it at any music store, pop is I can buy it at Wal-Mart, to use a slightly strained analogy.
for this, I can forgive much
