And what about things that promote The Force or Hogwarts or Power Rangers or Santa or Pennywise?

I feel like you're being flippant here but this is actually 100% true . #1 factor linking almost every serial killer in history is childhood trauma, sometimes extreme, usually involving a parent or primary caregiver.

More generally (just average folks, not murderers) - violent people tend to come from violent families.

Same with people who sexually abuse children - they're more likely than not to have been abused themselves.

But I'm not about to pathologise the behaviour of idiots who can't tidy up after themselves - I actually do care about the environment, but I don't think litterers are quite the same as murderers and rapists.

Being too lazy to pick up their stuff is entirely on them.

Charts don't really mean much these days because of the way music is mostly consumed (streaming). The money for performers is in building a loyal fan base and doing merch/shows.
Oh I get that.

I do miss the charts having a more competitive field to it though, with actual decent songs.

I know I'm going to sound old, but Spotify's streaming age killed the charts due to encouraging die hard fanbases to dominate, rather than what songs were the most popular.

I mean I've seen some singers have 15 songs in the charts at one time, and I honestly doubt that all 15 were good songs.

Imo physical sales and iTunes sales were the two best methods to encourage chart Music.

Random tangent.

The term Cultural Appropriation is abused so much nowadays imo, it's like people can't tell the difference between Cultural Appreciation and claiming that Kimono's are British (genuine Cultural Appropriation) it can be irritating when people can't tell the difference, regardless of what age group they're apart of.

I know that my post is a bit random, but I wanted to add my thoughts to the Cultural Appropriation stuff.

It's all BS, to be frank.

It's one of those things about which only "terminally online weirdos" care.

I wore my blond dreads wig to Greenbelt Festival and got nothing but compliments. Even people who looked like they'd be what some might call "SJWs" or "woke" either spoke to me nicely/normally without seeming to notice, or said they liked them.

Of course, I don't know what happened out of my line of sight. Maybe people were shooting daggers at me or secretly photographing or filming me for their latest TikTok about evil Appropriaters. But I doubt it.

Responsible for yes but, as always, explanations are not excuses and we should never let a public "resistance to excuses being made" (because some people don't understand that explanations are not excuses) stop any endeavor to find explanations and causes.

We don't say "childhood trauma can create criminals" to excuse the ones that have already been created... We say it to hopefully stop it before it happens. Obviously a utopian society is sadly never going to happen, but any improvement is still improvement.

Utterly maddening when people say "who cares what the reason was??" about killers.

Everyone should care. If you understand the reasons you might be able to stop someone else before it even happens.

Making a bit of a mess at a festival has literally nothing to do with generation or being paradoxically environmentally woke.

I remember how bad the cultural appropriation tag was around 2018/2019. Lots of people with crap memories of the past like to romanticise the way general society was before the pandemic (as if every era doesn’t have its highs and lows) but when it comes to that kind of propaganda (accusing people of culturally appropriating just for breathing, non-binary shiz) the late 2010s was a truly ridiculous time. It’s not as bad now.

Agreed.

I'm definitely all for calling out litterers and the environmentally unfriendly. But it would never occur to me to link the actions to someone's age or assumed politics.

Pff, chicken feed. As Boris would say. Less than 0.05% of Britain's GDP. Absolutely no evidence whatsoever that that tiny fraction of income is worth the psychological effect that a better-by-blood birthright monarchy has on a population.
