Unpopular opinions

@mclaincausey I don't know enough about his music to give an opinion about his talent. I was just repeating something I heard that I thought was funny. The cult following that he commands mirrors the cult following of Taylor Swift. It's not much deeper than that.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah man his stans are absolutely insufferable. But then most stans are. A lot of the bands I like have cult followings that I generally keep at arm's length. C'est la vie I suppose.

[seawolf]

@mclaincausey Same here.

[mclaincausey]

@seawolf at least IH stans are awesome !

[seawolf]

@mclaincausey We're a different breed

I had to Google stans. It’s not short for stanzas, it turns out….

[flannel slut]

Costanza?

Cantstandya??

Is Stans a reference to the Eminem song that has now turned into a term for other celebrity psycho fans?

[mclaincausey]

@seawolf sorry about that

Which would be hours I never got back

[seawolf]

@Giles Ugh. Golf. What a waste of time.

[mclaincausey]

@Mizmazzle yep

@Brian sometimes ignorance is bliss. I find the less I know about pop culture the happier I am

[SKT]

@mclaincausey when your daughter becomes a teenager, pop culture may unfortunately become unavoidable. Ask me how I know…

Edit: actually don’t ask…I mean Sabrina Carpenter made it into my Spotify wrapped if that tells you something ugh

[mclaincausey]

@SKT yeah man she's already a minor Swiftie but loves REM, the Beatles, and Phish too.

A friend of mine is a professional guitarist and one of his side projects is a band that does Taylor Swift songs for kids. So they'll have like the parachute, limbo, etc for the kids and drinks for the adults. We have also gone to ones for Phish and the Dead and I hope to make it to a Beatles one. I actually enjoy even the Swift kids shows. I don't enjoy her studio stuff but I can deal with it for Hattie.

Correlation = causality?
