Is there a name for that specific genre that was popular about ten years ago that was essentially ultra-commercial Folk-Pop?
It was bands like Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes, Of Monsters & Men, Jason Mraz, The Polyphonic Spree, etc etc?
It was like music made only for Gap commercials; it was everywhere and inescapable and I don’t think I ever met a soul who was actually in the bag for those bands.
That was weird, right?
I've heard it called "clap and say hey" which is funny and descriptive
if you stray from the hits tho the rest of these albums are just cute indie folk though
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.

This was kind of the same time Indy bands were all dressing like sailors or civil war people right? What was with that?
I want to throw in my support for Renfield being stupid in a good way.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

I listened to Of Monsters and Men's My Head is and Animal briefly when it came out but even if you got on it early so it wasn't overexposed, and you like indie folk, it is kind of boring to go back to.
Little Talks, one of the core "clap and say hey" songs off that album is still kind of good tho since it has decent energy and momentum (something thats missing in most of these songs). Theres a good reason thats what broke out.
Donkey Kong on

I briefly dated someone who was deep in on that genre
It did not work out

Is it just me or is THE ALGORITHM pushing caving accident breakdown videos at everyone lately? I got suggested a few of these on youtube out of the blue and I've seen people talking about them recently too.
Like a video about the guy who got stuck in the Nutty Putty cave in Utah, upside down in a hole and died. Or the BYU students who died swimming 15 feet underwater to reach a hidden chamber that had very little oxygen in it.

We had a fleeting decade-long dalliance with the youth longing to return to an early 1900s rural Americana aesthetic, which I think eventually became cottagecore
Apparently we can't even have 12 hours of joy in celebrating the death of Kissinger, it seems like the ghoul twisted the knife one last time took someone about as opposite as possible with him.

So just you.
You mentioned cave diving at some point your life.

It’s silly but not without its charms
I think there was also a natural sustainability bent to it as well.
If you buy long lasting high quality clothing it's going to look fairly traditional because that's kind of just how texitles and time works.

You gotta make the rest of your look match, I guess.

Whenever someone dies in an amateur cave exploration accident (especially an aquatic one) all I can think about is how utterly preventable and foreseeable that was

I have and still do cave diving but I don't consume any content about it and the algorithm would not know. I think this is unrelated.
Also cave diving is not too dangerous if you stick to big caves and for god's sake use a flashlight and a guide rope. You would not believe how many of these stories start with: "they forgot their rope at the hotel but decided to go in anyway", then proceed to get lost and die

See what you've done now EM? RMS was so innocent now he has your taint.
Are you suggesting I had no interest in wordplay?

I approve
it is very stupid but in a good way
It couldn't even make it to the good Nick Cage parts. The cop/criminal drama seemed stupid in the bad way!
no it was the good way
Maybe I'm stupid in the bad way.
Oh no!
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Happens to the best of us.
