      It's strange how infuriating it is when americans ruin other cultures music, they really do go at it with some full force ability to claim they created it somehow, at the same time as turning it to sh*t.

    One thing not taken into account is the live music scene in terms of “mainstream-ness”. I may be biased because I tend to mostly go to raves/festivals, but EDM shows are some of the best produced and highest attended of any shows I’ve been to, and it gets a consistent rabid audience to continue going.
    In my area alone there are minimum 4 really big 2-3 day shows a year plus a dozen smaller 1-2 day events that bring in the biggest names in EDM.
    Not sure if that can make something “mainstream” or not, but it is most certainly popular.

      I have never heard an EDM song that challenged my ears or conception of what music can be. It's just "boom boom boom" and I always imagine cannons going off shooting confetti+pyrotechinics while a mass of white people on some fucking field in Europe are jumping up and down and throwing their hands up the air in that way, you know that way, that fucking EDM arm and hand dance that they've all been doing since 2010 😒...

    AOTY is so so so much better than RYM it's insane. the culture is nicer, the 0-100 rating system is literally 10x more expressive than RYM's, you can have short reviews and no one cares, there's a general sense of humor to it as opposed to RYM's heavily enforced dead serious tone, and it just visually looks better. the only real downside is that it has way less people on it (and even that is arguably a positive)

    Secondly, I totally get that reviewing musicals is a totally dif thing but I have to say for all the musical haters out there…. I’m sure there’s a musical for you!
    If you out don’t the tap dance I got rhythm type or the quirky modern teen type or the super dramatic dark comedy type or blah blah…. There’s always more. Even in mainstream there’s like bluegrass musicals and shit. Its gotten way more diverse. It’s def an art form that requires some commitment and suspension of disbelief but if you go international or indie u can find some awesome shit that suits you. Even If you don’t fall in love with theatre, or rather, musicals as a medium, I’ve seen even huge haters able to at least appreciate the art and enjoy some aspects . Also I think everyone cries listening to les mis anniversary concert wall of sound lol. Plus there’s some great comedies, even the South Park boys wrote a musical and obviously there’s Mel brooks and many many many more. Try out hadestown if you want a mainstream musical that’s a bit less pop but still very accessible

EDM festivals are now everywhere and there are EDM nights at fairly mainstream bars in most cities any day of the week...it's undeniably mainstream lol.

There was no radio play. No record sales. The general public had no idea the scene even existed. Cut to 25 years later and EDM is everywhere. Films, TV, advertising, DJs are international celebrities with multi platinum selling albums. Everyone's grandparents know what EDM is.

    The songs are not a soiloquy; they're baked into the story. Movies about musicians like Inside Llyewn Davis or Once have the musical numbers feel more natural and stand on their own.

I do like AOTY though and I think it’s got a great, less toxic community. Although I’d also say the toxicity of RYM gets overstated, I think most interactions and album pages there are fine, there’s just a few that devolve into arguments

    I think sampling laws should be less restrictive. As long as the samples are used in a creative way to create something new rather than "here's the main riff from that song that was a hit 20 years ago". Maybe there should be a time or number of notes limit or something like that. For example you could use 5 notes (or seconds) or less without permission, any more than that you'd need to get permission. That way your not using a substantial part of the original recording.
