Top 500 songs from the 1970s
Oops, all Cher
50% Sonny. He didn’t leave Cher for a tree until much later in his career.
> using AI to make this meme
he didn’t even make it! he just edited my meme!
complains about AI
uses AI to make this meme
that’s because he “borrowed” my meme and edited it with ai smh
We live in a crazy world now and you have put your finger on the pulse of it. We have to resist… and learn to use the tools we resist against the systems that force us to use them.
Listen, when we steal time travel from the clankers and use it to come back in time and stop them, you’ll have a point.
Right now, not so much.
I love the word clankers and I think you are awesome.
You saw one of my memes, and reposted it. That’s alright: credit would’ve been nice, but it isn’t required.
But then, you have the audacity to remove the watermark, and modify it using so-called “generative artificial intelligence”? And to top it all off, you insult me and my opinion?
What do you have to say for yourself?
edit: just noticed my post has over double the amount of upvotes, so… :3
My sense of meme culture, and I admit I could be wrong, is that it’s a praise full compliment when someone uses another’s meme format and modifies it. I was sort of startled when you claimed ownership. I thought wow: I did not know that dude was the originator. So. good on you. I honestly don’t come to Lemmy to piss anyone off. I’m not here to compete. Just play and participate a little.
I’m do regret employing AI — I’m here because I want to move the entire internet back to 1999. So… it was a move in violation of my own principals… but I’ve been listening to Gerry Rafferty a lot and I’m nostalgic for the 70s and so I added my two cents.
Surely did not mean to bug.
Eh, it’s fine, I guess. It’s not really my image, legally speaking. AI just really upsets me, and I do anything and everything I can to fight it.
For your sake, and the sakes of those who see your memes, maybe edit images with Microsoft Paint or something next time? That’d certainly give it 1999 interweb vibes.
p.s. i’m not a dude <3
I thank you both for making an example of healthy communication while being upset. I come from a household where the way “adults” were communicating anger thought me nothing but “anger = bad” and really struggled to see otherwise. While I have defeated that mind bug of mine, I still do highly appreciate examples that would’ve helped me in the past in understanding that there might be someone reading your exchange from the spot I was in. <3
This was quite unexpected, yet rather welcome. I’m glad to know I navigated the interaction without seeming like a total jerk.
To be quite honest, the other interaction were kinda… oof, but this one in particular was done pretty healthily. It’s very easy to seem like a jerk when one cares about something deeply and it gets violated. But still, more the reason to encourage healthy communication and openness and understanding even while angry without compromising on the care <3
I’d take ai suggestions if they actually read the music and based it off of that and not same vague genres and other people’s playlists
Equally fogey-assed dude says:
Every decade, up to and including the one currently in progress, has tons of fantastic music being made by creative, innovative artists. I enjoy the music that I used to love in the 1970’s every bit as much as I love that new album just dropped this week from some guy who was a fetus when I was in grad school. I will always encourage my fellow fogey-asses to find something brand new to add to their playlists.
Link to something I’ll love, fellow fogey. Something from 2026?
I don’t know what you’ll love. I don’t know you and I don’t know your taste in music. I could drop a bunch of artists that got my attention this year but I don’t know that you’ll like any of it.
You found your way to Lemmy, I trust you have the knowledge and expertise to find your way to new music. To paraphrase you, perhaps a brand new top 500 of the 2020’s might be constructed by a certain OP with the patience to explore.
I’ll start at the top and work down.
For me its following the top 10 most downloaded albums of the day, week, month from private torrent trackers! They normally know whats up. I tried spotify years ago and was very hit or miss on what it threw at me and didnt care for it. It almost felt like some of the suggestions were there for reasons other than it’s good and that annoyed me.
This makes sense.
The top 500 songs I never need to hear again.
Song 5 by Interpol
Thank you for the song. I was following Interpol in the early 2000s. I remember thinking I was still cool. I greatly appreciate this song and I hope they are still at it. This instrumental is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you!
