I was on the right track until I made a promise that if I got eliminated I’d send metal now I don’t know where I am 🤣

Adrianne Lenker's 'Ruined' comes to mind as a recent big ballad / very low-key/slow burning hit. Snuck into the top 5 this time two years ago. They're not that common but they do happen x

I managed 6th place with this beauty also:

If only you were present a couple of years ago @Nine And ¾ so you could give points to my metal entry and spare me a DNQ!

Still the biggest robbery ever in terms of ballad x

i'm gonna get there FIRST!!!!!

Love how you see someone’s sending a ballad, and you just KNOW it’s the same one out of all the million ballads ever created 😂

Should we all just send ballads next contest so it's fair game? Anyone of us could win then!

my intuition is always correct y'know

You should make a Spin-off where everyone can send whatever they want and call it Black Friday. 😂

not you exposing me sending ADONXS next edition x

I was very prepared to dnq because I don’t believe geese/cam winter have as big of a following here as elsewhere and if there is I think there is some general backlash/fatigue anyway… mostly because the discourse surrounding them is annoying as f*** so I’ve kind of just been listening to them quietly and not really participating in any of it

Anyway I have Bjsc bait for next month and then pagasa-core for the month after that (if UP doesn’t start before then) so I’m happy to get on with the final and on to the next contest

Idk where the discourse has come from but /r/indieheadscirclejerk keeps popping up on my Reddit front page and it seems to be entirely composed of Geese memes lately lol

(I'm only just starting to somewhat get into them/Cameron, I fear I am part of the 'problem' x)

It was mostly from twitter when I was still scrolling semi regularly a few months ago but half of it was the memes (Cameron winter performative male music fan starter pack 🤣) half of it was just the breathless discourse about what they mean for the culture or whatever and im just like: they’re a good band

maybe im just hyper aware of it bc of algorithms but something happened after brat that has made hype/backlash cycles more relentless and annoying lol

How many songs can I put in a poll? 🙈

Ennea national final
