@mirandareinert yeah it's like weird too because there's no materialism about it. it's strictly internalizing the logic of the uncaring tech companies but framing that as fighting against them. something like the better help controversy is extremely out of the ordinary

Wrong. The term hyperpop was actually used by writers on @tinymixtapes as a critical genre term as early as 2006, and reached common use in reviews in the early 2010s. It was applying critical tools from speculative realism/accelerationism and yeah look how that's ended up

I don't like carpenter but this paranoid thing people do trying to come up with conspiracies is so odd. It seems like the two positions you're allowed to take re: pop music are "everything is an organic expression of popular sentiment" or "everything is mind control"

@mirandareinert and the crazy thing is, thinking about it, personalized moral sponsorship decisions are actually way *more* than we've ever expected out of advertising, even though we tend to expect less decorum/professionalism from YouTubers. NPR runs ads for like, Exxon and shit!
