#manchild

1 post1 participant0 posts today

i give zero fucks about pop music and don't know who most of them are, but i hadda watch Sabrina Carpenter's video #Manchild because it/she is being criticized as anti-feminist— as a man, i have nothing to say about that

but the video is fucking great with many LOL moments

Aunque los engranajes funcionen, sigue poniéndoles grasa.

Carpenter y su equipo deben de pensar así: hay que aprovechar el renacimiento de la/su estrella.

Tras Short n' Sweet (2024) está por llegar Man's Best Friend (2025). Y lo hace de la mano de un sencillo de cabecera que, curiosamente, se quedó fuera de Short, y por tanto está firmado por las mismas manos.

Lo primero que viene a la mente es que estaría bien que cerrase etapa creativa y moviera ficha renovando parcialmente al menos a su equipo, otro productor principal (Antonoff, date un descanso) y autores.

Manchild, que es de lo que tratan estas notas, hubiese sido una canción modesta en Short, como mínimo uno de los últimos sencillos, esos que se usan para estirar el éxito pero no para atraerlo.

Si bien cantó a dúo la más que buena Please con la Parton (nuestra musa), Manchild recoge parte del espíritu country pop de aquella mucho mejor plantado.

De hecho, este tema vira hacia el country donde Please se recreaba en un sinte y arreglos ochenteros cantados susurrados a lo Marilyn asmr. Algo que no luce tanto como pretendían en el estudio.

Manchild suena a continuar estirando una fórmula que les ha ido bien sin que lo parezca, a copiar en un examen cambiando frases a la vez que manteniendo las palabras clave. La línea de sinte retro, el estribillo casi compuesto íntegramente por el título de la canción estirado, el tipo de humor... ahora con leves tintes country.

El video que presenta este single tampoco tiene una línea clara. Un conjunto de escenarios (dicen que con inspiración en El sheriff chiflado, 1979 y 2005) y gags de humor katyperryano montados con nervio nervioso nerviano. Algunos están bien pero ninguno se disfruta pues se suceden muy rápido.

Suena bonito. Será agradable oirla casualmente por ahí, fuera de mis listas.

Vance says US will 'walk away' unless Ukraine and Russia agree to proposals.

You little shits - That is exactly what Russia wants. But I assume, a group of whiney little men-children, sucking off Vladimir Putin, already know this.

A true #enlightened #man knows the benefits of #intellectualism, #romanticism & #socialism by way of mere inference.

Power in numbers cannot be understated, as it is the foundation of #democracy. #PublicEducation cannot be underrated, as it is the foundation of the #sciences. #Culture & #Congregation is there to fulfill basic needs that all humans have. Take away this and the man never grows.

The #manchild is merely a result of the environment being incapable of raising a boy to become a man

i used to admire #elonmusk on his accomplishments

i was unaware of who he was as a person

then there was that soccer team trapped in a cave in thailand

#elon tried to build a submarine to rescue the boys

but his spotlight was robbed by cave divers who achieved the rescue without him

so #musk had a #manchild temper tantrum and called one of the cave divers a "pedo"

at that point i became aware of what kind of person elon was

"After Kamala Harris’s shellacking of Donald Trump at the debate, Trump ventured on to Fox News, where he attacked the moderators as deeply biased against him. Incredibly, he even said their network, ABC News, should have its broadcasting license revoked. This is really a show of weakness: What enraged him is that real scrutiny was applied to the lies he can air unchallenged on right-wing media."

"She beat him with the facts, and she beat him to the punch. She watched, her eyes sparkling, as the tired, angry old racist trotted out his predictable rancid tropes, and exposed himself for what he is, while also managing to bury himself even further into his dark, empty corner."
