Aneristic Illusions / Re: Miley Cyrus, Pedobear, and the Hollywood Spectacle
« on: October 08, 2013, 02:30:05 am »Okay, here goes
Whether or not Miley Cyrus's music is, artistically, worth a god damn is not the point. It's so far beside the point that they have different zip codes.
The fact that people got mad is not, in itself, really the point either. Our popular culture is addicted to getting mad about bullshit.
It's the fact she, rather than using her young starlet body and fame to be "naughty" and "scandalous" in order to fill the niche that was prescribed for her (and that many people are desperately trying to insist that she's still subject to), instead took control over her own project. She created a hideous mockery of the very thing she was supposed to be, and shoved it in our faces while screaming, "ISN'T THIS WHAT YOU LIKE?"
for that segment of the population that can't wrap their heads around women's sexuality, especially when it hasn't been shaved and primped for public consumption, Miley Cyrus basically held up a mirror and forced the world to see its own sweaty, flabby, flesh furiously masturbating
and she didn't do it through music
she did it through spectacle. Ugly, horrible, corporate-backed, soulless spectacle.
and so far, she's still refusing to have her scheduled horrible public meltdown, which is the last resort of everyone who NEEDS her to fit in the memetic mold that's been created for pop starlets, although they don't know why they NEED it so badly
Does this make her, the person, worthy of reverence as an artist, or as a troll? I dunno. But the thing itself is interesting in its own right, and worth examining.
I'd say you are on the money. SO on the money that we can expect a NOPE cat very shortly.
exactly why I was reluctant to post it
I feel like we've tread that exact ground no fewer than 5 times. I'm getting dizzy from the circles.

And yet I can't tear myself away from this thread.

Apple Talk / Re: I love Miley Cyrus
« on: October 07, 2013, 08:09:30 pm »The documentary is also a good strategic move; many people are defending their insistence that she really didn't know exactly what she was doing, now that she's come right out and said that it was meant to be funny, by squawking that she is only claiming intent to be funny after the fact. The documentary follows her in the two weeks leading up to, and backstage at, the VMAs, which is going to make it awfully hard to continue with that "after-the-fact" bit.
Which will, of course, be followed up by squawks of "Yeah, well, I didn't think it was funny at all."

« on: October 07, 2013, 08:03:39 pm »lawl, implying Miley Cyrus is intentionally trolling is now declaring her a "Discordian Troll Queen".
Did you get that strawman on special? It's looking a bit ragged...
Regarding a pop artist with anything but eye-rolling disdain is a violation of Discordian Standard chapter 17, part 172.48. Such action will be considered an attempt to put said pop artist on one of the Great Discordian Pedestals, and shall be addressed using standard Class B Heresy Mitigation protocols.
It's not art if you're not starving.
Right. Only the penniless artist can be subversive.

And a resounding denouncement from the holding-your-smokes-backwards smooth jazz crowd, which is - as it ought to be - bowel-liquifyingly terrifying.
Just WAIT until my buddy living in Hairy Steve's basement publishes my scathing essay about your SELLOUT in his 'zine!

« on: October 07, 2013, 07:41:29 pm »Yeah, and I don't think anyone's denied that she's paid to do so. What we are saying is that she's taking the piss. You seem to think these are mutually exclusive things, because apparently Miley Cyrus is something less than a human being, and can't possibly do such a thing.
Yeah, took a quick look, and I don't see anyone saying she's doing this as a charity event.
Of course she's making money while braying laughter in everyone's faces.
Give "Bob" one good reason why she shouldn't.

ok yeah I should have figured she was bleached blonde, and the whole color scheme of that first video is darker, especially compared to "Wrecking Ball" (the only video of her's I've seen other than the VMA)
maybe I'm looking at it backwards, and she made herself blonde (and a tad boyish) as part of her ongoing trolling efforts
