A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Ugly people make music all the time.

You really gonna tell me Ed Sheeran is good looking? Post Malone?

He looked better pre-Malone

Tap for spoiler/s

Where's his chin?

But the contention is about music being better, and that's some bad music.

Did we read the same post?

Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it

I guess your comment makes sense if you find those two attractive.

Like I get the boomer joke of music these days sucks but my comment was leaning into joke.

Yeah, and Jack White aint pretty either.

Imo, this post is better directed at hollywood

Jack White

He looks good enough to me.

Your comment makes sense in the frame of "ugly people are allowed to make music," my comment refers to the "music was better" part of the post.

The ugly people you mentioned don't support your comment's argument against the original assertion because their music is terrible, not "better."

Some music sucked in the boomer's days, made by ugly and pretty people alike.

He’s simply disputing the assertion that ugly people aren’t allowed to make music.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's what the comment you replied to starts with.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah so what’s your problem with what he said then?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

Why did you reply to my comment to restate the first part of what I said?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Adele isn't that good looking as well, but she is well loved as a singer.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You've got some warped standards for beauty.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

But she used to be kinda fat tho....

I’ve never heard his music, but I think Post Malone is beautiful
