    News Hybe/MHJ Civil War Megathread

    That might be the case, and so the argument might be, "Well, the VP sold his stock based on a plan Ador had to go public." But there's problems with that. Firstly, they would have to prove that Ador really were going to go public. Actually, a lot of HYBE's allegations revolve around what Ador...

    News Hybe/MHJ Civil War Megathread

    Absolutely hard to do when you're not the one that went public. HYBE went public. HYBE initiated the audit. By contrast, Ador was dealing with the matter internally with HYBE since March. How can Ador have insider knowledge of an audit that was a surprise against them? If they knew about the...

    News Hybe/MHJ Civil War Megathread

    The stock drop was caused by HYBE making a public announcement of the surprise audit. How could Ador have predicted either of those events?

    Rumor HYBE Allegedly Has Begun Erasing NewJeans

    A random article isn't good evidence. It could just be the journalist being overly-enthusiastic about Illit. Even if the journalist was doing "mediaplay" for BHS, that would just indicate that he wants credit for exceeding NewJeans' debut success, not that he is intent on shelving them or...

    Hypothetical!

    I was a fan of the Sugababes, who became almost immediately known for their volatile nature. They had three initial members, Mutya, Keisha and Siobhan. After the first album, Siobhan left and claimed the other two had been bullying her. She was replaced by Heidi, and went on to release two...

    I never pay attention to any of those competition show temporary groups so this is the first time I'm hearing Spring Breeze. What a good song!!!

    how has your taste in musical style changed ?

    Some Stray Kids songs have odd-timing! Cheese and Side-Effects for example. I think most k-pop fans don't like it lollol Also there's been at least three j-pop groups that have been heavily math-rock influenced! Maison Book Girl Sora Tob Sakana Neochi Pop music can absorb all forms!! If I...

    Does anybody here listen to Tinashe??

    I went and looked to see what happened, and now I remember. She began promoting Nightride in 2015 with a few songs, and then the label refused to release it as is. She managed to release it in 2016, but I don't think it was the version she had originally planned, as some of the songs weren't on...

    Does anybody here listen to Tinashe??

    I was big into Aquarius when it came out, and then she really struggled to release a follow-up, the label kept messing things up for her, and I lost track.

    how has your taste in musical style changed ?

    It's an angular type of rock music that is in unusual time signatures, like this: In Japan, they went and turned it into math-pop (angular pop music, in unusual time signatures):

    how has your taste in musical style changed ?

    What is "Christian horse girl" Anyway, same, I go through heavy phases. Here's a timeline. Pre-2004: Progressive and progressive-adjacent rock 2004-2008: Slowcore, math-rock, post-rock (the intersection of all three - still my favourite type of music) 2008-2010: Glitch, drum-n-bass, dub...

    Netherland disqualified

    You will have to qualify "many", because those people are in the minority, at least amongst Israeli Jews: https://truthout.org/articles/polls-show-broad-support-in-israel-for-gazas-destruction-and-starvation/ A staggering 58% believed too little force has been used in November. Israeli civilians...

    Netherland disqualified

    Ireland's entrant has missed the dress rehearsal: This seems unrelated to Netherland's entrant. What an almighty mess. Edit: This is perhaps related to negative Israeli commentary about them telling Israeli audiences to "prepare [their] curses"...

    Netherland disqualified

    From what i can parse, there were a lot of rumours beforehand. The statement from Eurovision is very vague. I think realistically, all we can say is that we don't know what has happened exactly. There's certainly a lot of tension though:

    share your comfort songs here !

    For a long time, it was this, but I can no longer bear to listen to it: A more modern classic would be this one I guess: It's just sublime. One, two, three... Many of the new wave of Nigerian musicians make supremely comforting music. In terms of idol music, k-pop doesn't give me much...
