"I am halfway down this pipeline. Most of you are two thirds of the way down. This subreddit is a space for formerly artistic contrarian girlies to complain about how "kids these days" dress and to advocate for banning porn, gambling, and marijuana."
"these Lana del ray-Fiona apple-lux lisbonite types claiming ownership of it are just ironically latching on to a term that hasn't had a real grounded community attached to it in a long while."

"Since 2006, Taylor Swift has put out 10 albums, more if you count her re-recordings. Fiona Apple has only put out 2. This is why Fiona is the Hooker with a Heart of Gold of music and Taylor is a sexless CEO that belongs in prison."
