Imagine how much less beautiful the world would be if this face weren’t allowed to succeed
Young Mic Jagger was a snacc.
When he was young, he had an atypical beauty but he was fucking hot.
Music was better when I used to look at the back of an album and the credits were like a dozen people. I’m sorry to people who like Beyonce, Gaga etc. But you look at their albums and they have hundreds of writers, engineers, producers, mixers, etc. What do these celebrities actually do anymore? Just show up and read the lines and the crew takes care of the rest? I’m sorry but that to me isn’t a good artist or musician, that’s just manufactured branding.
Video killed the radio star
Podcasts are literally a thing
It’s a song bro
“Ugly” and “good music” are subjective
That’s not the question. Do you think music nowadays puts more emphasis on the appearance of the artist than before? Idk what it is but I find reactions like this annoying. Like OP makes a good point and then we have to hear a lot of ‘well, actually’ bs.
Lol, do you think only pop star music exist? It’s actually the contrary that happend. Now, more than ever, anyone can make music. This is a really bad take.
I think the actual take is probably closer to “I wish we went back to a time when record companies would take a bet on anyone, regardless of the overall package, looks etc”
Which tbh, is probably more of a fairy tale view of years olden days than anything else.
This is a really bad take.

Yeah, by recycling a phrase so popular you can buy it on bumper stickers and tshirts and literally reposted from reddit r/showerthoughts six years ago.

L+ratio on Lemmy. That’s crazy.
Beauty is, of course, in the eye of the beholder, but this is Richard Goodall. He’s a school janitor in my town of Terre Haute, Indiana and he just won America’s Got Talent. He will probably have at least a somewhat successful musical career after this. He really blew people away.
Politics too

I’d like to thank this thread for reminding me to check out some new music. Just today, I have discovered MJ Lenderman and Still House Plants who both seem to be doing some cool stuff that’s right up my alley. There’s a new Mogwai track released a few days back and Sumac just released an amazing sludge metal album, even though I’m not really into sludge, it might convert me. A quick few image searches shows me that none of them are particularly attractive. Music has always been, and always will be awesome regardless of the physical appeal of the lead singers.
“Ugly” people still make music but apparently you don’t listen to it. Shameful, tbh.
They aren’t even ugly, they’re just beautiful in a different way than media accepts.

And the guest rappers killed the guitar solo.
Ugly people
are stillhave always been making it, pop acts have just make a pretty person pretend to sing it it sells better.I am convinced that producers go out with a company checkbook and standard boilerplate, find acts that have good songs, then buy the rights to those songs.
They then give the songs to larger pop artists and never credit the original artist because there is no need. They likely pay well for a decent song.
They pay song writers to create songs.
They do.
It’s extremely rare that people like Taylor Swift get as big as she is from writing her own songs.There are actual classes you can take on how to write pop songs, taught by people who made pop artists big.
just figured out, what? pop has always been pretty people…
ugly people aren’t allowed to make music anymore?
well fuck me then.
its why ed sheeran was killed he made music
Literally the first person I thought of when reading the title of this post
F in chat for ed sheeran, and ugly ugly man, who made not very good music, but was loved by, some people.

he was in game of thrones? When? Can we blame the downfall on him now? lol.
It’s a throwaway scene of some Lannister troops around a campfire. Arya and The Hound walk up. It has no bearing on the story, it’s just a cameo. Ditto with the guy from Coldplay that’s in the band during the Red Wedding.
Red Wedding, Red Wedding, Lots of stabbing and a little beheading
🎶Bum bum bum bupadubbadub🎵"
