i hope lofi study/corporate background music completely dies in 2024. shit sounding hella goofy with such a sterile vanilla ass mix

It already sounds whipped up in AI. My prediction is that all background music will be AI generated as soon as next year. Pond5 is in trouble but podcasters aren't always musicians so maybe it will work out.

More shitty couture with ugly patterns and colors. Things will start to get cleaner in 2025 at the earliest.

God I hope not.
I can't decide which aspect I dislike more about that audio garbage: the cavity inducing pop, or the fact that it was fronted by an Aryan Supremacist clown.

[Ricky Vaughn]

Globalist goofs will decide that skateboarding is not good for the environment or necessary and cancel skateboarding altogether.

[artskool]

Skating blanks.

[manysnakes]

It's not great for the environment, but the average Home Depot probably stocks more plywood than the skate industry produces in a year. Wheels break down into microplastics, but I've got news for you about car tires, stretch pants, and grocery bags.

In a perfect world, we'd probably have to curb skateboarding, but for so long as we continue to chop up forests to build ever expanding suburbs, blow the tops off of mountains to extract coal, spew gas in various forms into the environment, and open-pit mine lithium so wealthy liberals can feel good about their automobile purchases, I don't see how anyone could too harshly judge skateboarding for its environmental impact

Irl trends: fake self help from washed up addicts trying to stay relevant.

Online: skaters pretending to give a shit about the environment or social justice just like everyone else.

The counter culture and it's corresponding talking points and opinions are now brought to you by meticulously crafted ai feedback data driven focus groups owned by one holding company worth more than most countries in Africa.

I do understand, but isn't it at least better than people not giving a fuck or knowing anything?

Nope. Many people have already started giving less of a fuck and also there's a growing number who give a fuck conditionally and performatively. Both are detrimental.
