Modern liberalism has a heavy “fuck the poor” vibe but disguised as “oh you should really eat organic don’t you KNOW that?” and “getting fresh, locally grown produce is easy why aren’t you doing it?”
You wouldn’t download an evil guy that kills you.
“What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman. I’ve never gotten to do that before. I’ve always respected women. So we just wanted to turn it over on its head and make people go, Women and their bodies are beautiful. Men are always gonna want to follow them around.”

Robin Thicke’s new song, “Blurred Lines,” is the number one song in the country right now. It is also very sickening because of its implication of rape and sexual harassment and its not-so-subtle promotion of rape culture (that he then seems to attribute to human nature—great). See more of what disturbing things Thicke had to say and read about some of the backlash on the Huffington Post. (via you-do-not-do)

yeah read this article tonight, what a fucking creep

Yes, because degrading women and objectifying their bodies is so original and not the norm. Especially not in the entertainment industry.

OMG HE’S SO EDGY

I really fear as a whole that the new “trend” of being edgy is going to be full on (TW) rape songs. Like all of them are going to be graphic songs discussing and celebrating rape.
Why the hell is rape in my love songs? Why is it in my hip hop? Why is my life threatened in one of the only places (art and music) that I found that brought me peace?

most beautiful line from an hsm fanfic ever:
“troy was horny as fuck. his head was in his pants, not in the game”
One of the most annoying things about me is that I constantly need to be reassured that you haven’t started hating me for some reason.

History textbooks should all be titled “White Fanfiction.”
I love my mom but im getting so frustrated with her today
when I saw the Kangaroo Jack trailer and the movie was entirely different to what I was expecting, that’s when I realize that life wasn’t fair.
I could write books on my love for raisin in the sun tbh.
“Oprah seemed like she was giving me the cold shoulder. She was with Iman (Bowie). Iman was always dancing with me, hugging and kissing me, but Oprah seemed really p*ssed off with me. Also she made this huge speech at the ball praising Lady Gaga and about how she (Lady Gaga) is helping Americans to be the best of themselves. There’s millions of other Americans who represent that for me. Is (it) about numbers? About how much you’re selling? Is it truly about the journey? Because (Lady Gaga’s) journey isn’t that difficult: to go from the f*cking Upper East Side to a f*cking performing arts school and on to a stage at the museum of f*cking wherever. That journey’s about four miles.”

i prefer girls with the natural look. no makeup, never gotten a haircut, covered in dirt, feeding off of berries and raw fish in the wild, are actually bears.
i’m forever stuck between wanting to discover loads of new music and wanting to listen to the same 4 albums over and over again
there’s no “we” in food get the fuck away from me

For most of America, Psy is a funny name, a funny face, and a funny personality. He doesn’t sing in English and most people just don’t get it leaving most of them to not take him seriously. It’s easy to strip the significance behind “Gangnam Style” down if you don’t know what it means and solely find entertainment in the Asian guy shaking his hips. But what most people don’t realize is that Psy doesn’t take himself seriously. He’s a satirist and political dissident. “Gangnam Style” was a commentary, not just a fun pop tune with a silly dance.
Gangnam is Seoul’s wealthiest and flashiest neighborhood. For South Koreans, Gangnam represents the ideal life of excess and consumerism. Psy’s character in the video is a wannabe Gangnamite. He dreams he’s living the flashy, excessive lifestyle while he’s really just like everyone else, swimming in a public pool and riding the subway. But never in the video does it seem that Psy’s character is unhappy. He’s content to play in a children’s playground and meet the girl of his dreams in the subway. “Gangnam Style” is much more that we have made it, but that’s not surprising considering Psy’s background and how little we know about it.
In America, it seems like “Gangnam Style” was Psy’s big break when in fact the song had been released on his sixth studio album and his music career hadn’t been about making flashy and catchy songs. He believes music is the key to overcoming the intolerance embedded in his country’s political systems. Throughout his career, his songs have been banned for inappropriate content and have been surrounded by controversy, not to mention the fact that he fought his mandatory military draft.
Psy is a voice for his people. He’s fighting the oppression and intolerance he sees in his culture through his music. And by ignoring his worth and his value, we’re reducing the culture of South Korea into a short man with funny pants doing a ridiculous dance.

This is why Billie Joe Armstrong’s comments about him being the herpes of music are utterly stupid.

Psy is more punk than Green Day.

A lot of people have an infatuation with current Hannibal a lot, but I honestly really hate him. To me he’s why more scary and villainous than Anthony Hopkins version.
WHY IS NO ONE CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT ABIGAIL WAS MOST LIKELY UNDER HER FATHERS CONTROL AND THAT SHE WAS AFRAID FOR FOR HER LIFE TOO.
2 + 0 + 1 = 3

2 + 0 does not equal 0

Honestly if oh get your hair cut once or twice a year go to a place that offers you juice and massages your hair. Treat urself.
“[I hate YouTube because] the player is so ugly, and it’s presented in such a terrible manner. I want everything I do to be presented in an art context, as this is a form of sonic art. I was an artist originally, I have been in art school since I was 5 years old. I got scholarships to three art schools, Art Institute of Chicago, Saint Xavier, and the American Academy of Art, where I ended up going—and I dropped out because I had an assignment where I was supposed to do an ink painting or something, and I would take two weeks to do it, and when I looked at my work, I just felt that I would never be one of the great visual artists of the world. I just felt like I would end up like—and this is no knock to anybody that does this—but I felt like I would end up working at an ad agency or something like that. I wanted to make something of impact. I found that when I would drop samples, my friends would react to it more. I felt that I had a real talent in chopping and appropriating music. What I want people to understand about sampling and producing is that it’s really similar to—and I know this is obvious what I’m going to say, because I’m a black guy so I’m gonna name the ‘most obvious artist in the world’—Warhol, but it’s very similar to the way Warhol would appropriate a Campbell’s Soup can is the way I would sonically appropriate a Ray Charles sample or a Michael Jackson sample. Right now it’s a fight against the separation and constant dumbing down of culture, and I’m standing in the middle of it. So if you know what people say are my lowest moments, those moments where I sat and saw them try to dumb down culture, and I would not allow it to happen on my clock. So when I used to go to fashion shows with my boys and we’d be eight deep, it was almost like a civil rights, like a sit-in. They wouldn’t even let us in. They had no idea what rap would mean to this world, what rap would mean to the art world. Before the Kendrick Lamars and the A$AP Rockys, it was Kanye West in a hotel room at the Le Maurice getting a ‘no, no, no, no’ to every single fashion show. But I thought it was so important to get close to the artists who worked so hard on making a usable form of art—like this furniture right here, like everything that is in all these rooms that inspire us so much—and I fight in my position of being a very commercial celebrity boyfriend, I fight to push culture forward every chance I get. And I only frown because paparazzi ask me dumbass shit all the time, and I think about changing the world, and I think about what I can do to make things better. And, without further ado, I want to play you guys my new album. It’s called Yeezus.”

Kanye West (via motsquivont)
I hate when people try to dumb down Kanye West as some cocky asshole who came out of nowhere when he’s really a genius, his own hype man, and the root of every white mans fears.

eros is bullshit: a poem
the theory that people
are always searching for
their other half is
bullshit.
don’t let anyone, not
even a god, tell you
you are anything less
than whole.
Sometimes I just think loneliness works best for me.
I still love all my friends tho.
Like I can I be comfortable with someone else when I’m not even comfortable with myself yet.
