I have noticed that ratings of albums by older artists have been steadily dropping over the years as the influx of new users, especially zoomers, has been increasing over the years. It's happened with basically all of the older artists. Stones are in the lead picture because I found this image somewhere so it's a good example, but it has happened to all of the older dadrock artists. Some decreases are not that big, but some are by whole 0.1 point.
there's an increasing amount of libshit gender and race activists on the site, anything made by "white males" usually goes down in score unless they're gay or something
Ryder Davis
underage trannies took over anything marginally experimental or thoughtful is -2.8, retarded lo-fi gay shit like CSR goes up
This. And it's also why RYM takes into account both the average rating and the number of ratings when ranking the albums in charts.
Nathaniel James
It's not just the users, but the algorithm itself that has changed. The new algorithm was literally designed to put Kendrick higher in the charts.. wish I was joking.
Brandon Parker
not to mention a lot of these faggots are weird virtue signallers, i'm almost 100% sure Devil and God by Brand New has dropped over 0.40 in the past year. you know it's a tranny if they bother giving a hitler speech recording 0.5
a lot of the moderation team are admitted sjws as well, and the mod responsible for publicity and social media etc. is a literal tranny who's apparently kind of known outside of the site too
Wyatt Ramirez
>you know it's a tranny if they bother giving a hitler speech recording 0.5 lmao, people do this unironically?
Brayden Gomez
every time i click on a profile with an anime avatar they turn out to be mtf you can't make this shit up, lmao how did it get to this point
Colton Cox
i saw a post a while back from one of the forum mods (forgot who, they might not even be a mod anymore) who admitted to banning anyone posting the word 'fag' on sight, regardless of context.
Leo Edwards
Don't forget that RYM moderation team itself put a disclaimer on top of every record that is nazi-related.
a fun thing is also to compare nazi propaganda with communist propaganda, you don't have to guess which one has much higher averages
Oliver Williams
>kill elitism in art Okay, you know what, the rest of this mental midget's crap I don't give a shit about, but the idea it and its cohorts hold that "elitism" is bad makes me so fucking mad. Sure, we should keep the playing field leveled, nobody should be restricted from making art or talking about it. But can these motherfuckers really not comprehend that elitism is literally just the amount of effort you're willing to put into something multiplied by skill, knowledge and maybe your ability to communicate your ideas to other people? This is utter horseshit. I fucking hate this. The point of art being readily available to everyone is that YOU can be a part of the elite if you want to, not that no one should strive for elitism. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
Evan Hill
this is just covering their asses for advertisers, can't blame em.
John Price
it's not the moderation team that does that, it's a release attribute
the shoutbox is also completely removed from releases with that tag, also they accept joke groups like SPLC and ADL as a source for the attribute
the owner of the site has said that it's solely because of german laws and that they would get in legal trouble with germany somehow, which I don't believe for a second
Ethan Johnson

Brayden Nelson
Yes. Gotta make sure you're clear of all that toxic masculinity.
this, same reason youtube does this and i'm pretty sure they only do it for bands the users report
Jack Parker
Yo, who the fuck is this weirdoslam nigga talking about, me being a reactionary and shit tryna get up in my face and shit nigga I don't even know you but I've seen pictures of you man, nigga you're a fucking fatass talking mad shit behind a computer dude, yo, let me tell you, I have fucking family in Long Beach, California dude if I ever, EVER, see your fat ass I will beat the living SHIT out of you, make your fat like flubber around and shit cause that's what you deserve dude with that shitty-ass moustache and greasy fucking hair and shit, I will beat your fucking mexican ass nigga fucking loser talking about "IVY, muh name is IVY, i'm a WOMAN i think i'm a WOMAN" Nah nigga, NAHH nigga, you just can't get bitches man you're a fucking loser dude, talking bout all these ideologies that you're fucking uh, influenced by politically, nigga, like c'mon nigga, you know what ideology you need to harbor immediately? Kill yoself-ism. Cause you're a fuckin loser dude I would beat the fucking shit out of ya nigga. Get the fuck off my page bitch

Ethan Gonzalez
>Ronald Reagan Why is it this particular speech? As far as I know, most recorded political speeches tend to suck ass, how come they always single out this one? Regardless of its quality (pretty shit speech), why does everyone flock to rate it? Did some youtuber mention it or some shit?
i've been saying there's a connection between anime, video games and transgenderism and no one wants to hear it
Jason Evans
Causation ain't correlation. Sure, a fraction of the people who play vidya and watch anime feel so threatened and overwhelmed by the world they fall into transgenderism hysteria. But you're basically doing the same shit that media does when it pretends every gamer is a neo-nazi pro-trump nigger murderer, just with the opposite signifier.
Gabriel Peterson
>dadrock fags complaining about trannies on rym every fucking time
this is literally the only place you can talk about it without getting banned
Julian Gonzalez
>I listen detroit style electro, massive techno, and a lot of experimental, noise, musique concrete. you and every other nerd on the site
Anthony Morales
i understand wanting to vent but dude its just numbers, no need to get so worked up on ratings lol
Oliver Morris

Jonathan Green
>zoomers -oomer this, -oomer that, stop using this retarded word, for fuck's sake. Why can't we say "underaged" or something like that? The absolute state of this website
Blake Diaz
zoomers as in gen z
Jayden King
I'm sure Stones are crying in their sleep because of this.
Angel Butler
Woah is that a JoJo reference
Dylan Williams
I'm guessing that there are simply fewer dadrock enthusiasts nowadays as rock is becoming more and more niche with every year most of these records are still overrated though because of dad cred and classic status
John Baker
There’s plenty of both sides, it’s embarrassing af but I guess it’s not surprising, autism is autism
Jason Sanders
the algorithm was designed to offset all the boomers rating every major hip hop release .5 stars
Jace Gutierrez
Time happened, taste in music will atomize with time and no single band will share a major percentage of the whole pie. Bear in mind we have only seen 3 generations since the inception of modern music.
Easton Allen
I like Jim O'Rourke and Talk Talk and now I feel like killing myself.
Eli Flores
but every gamer IS a neo-nazi to some degree, just as every otaku IS transgender they are both caught in a complex web of paradoxical relations between reality and illusion, they have no choice but to reflect culture like a caleidoscope reflects light - processed, but still only a reflection they at once are and are not the neo-nazi, the transgendered, for no being participating in modern culture can ever be fully outside the simulacrum
Anything other than pure sophistry? The concept of simulacrum doesn't even apply to the phenomena of social sycopanthy you've described. Check yourself before you neck yourself, my dude.
Cooper Gomez
>we're not gonna take it >0.5 confirmed for shit taste.
Ian Nguyen
underaged =/= zoomer it's possible to be over 18 and a zoomer.
Parker Rivera
Didn't even notice it. Good catch, user. Trannies confirmed offended by Dee Snider's cool drag routine, I guess.
Asher Moore
You don't find it coincidental that EVERY album has gone down though? I could understand the 4's and high 3's coming down to average, in theory, but even the low 3's all dropped.
While it may not, my amigo I think user makes a reasonable statement about these peoples' station. Actors getting too lost in the role if you're one to believe that most identities are performative and there's no arguing that of the tranny.
Dominic Lewis
can the zoomers organize to fucking usurp radiohead from #1
Mason Wilson
No, they like sensitive, faggot-rock too much to do that.
Cooper Clark
Yeah maybe with Kendrick
Juan Kelly
It happened with U2 too. The itunes thing dropped their whole catalog a few notches. Certain singles and live albums have been unbolded and "The Unforgettable Fire" will certainly be by in a month or two.
Ian Gray
Millenials are cucked fags that let zoomers disrespect the past, that's all. Much worse than any generation in the past, they disrespect anything that came out before them. Most generations grow out of this, but millenials enabled this and its too far now
Alexander Price
Again, that user links the idea of people being confused about their identity with the advent of simulacrum and poses it as global. Which isn't true in my opinion. It has much more to do with radicalization of popular culture and a plethora of other reasons: lack of belonging, sexual frustration, percieved social priveledge, contrarianism and even the already mentioned social sycopanthy, although that only applies to fringe cases. I also do not agree with that user's idea of people ""[having] no choice but to reflect culture like a caleidoscope reflects light". This self-defeating post-modern point of view that implies we are all slaves to a system we've built is a coward's answer to a question of whether we should actively participate in bettering ourselves and culture or wimp out and take it as it comes. Baudrillard was wrong. That's all, folks.
Gavin Evans
>boomers' face when one day the beatles and their legacy will be completely lost to the void of time
because old music is mostly shit and modern music is much more interesting t. 27 year old boomer
Jackson Wood
because zoomers are brainwashed with low-IQ nigger music
Cooper Cox
bolding releases was a mistake
Eli Taylor
Can you define radicalization of popular culture in this sense? I've got a couple of ideas rattling around in my noggin about what you may be onto but I'd like to clear up my train of thought. I've often thought the cycle of popular culture has merely been made far more rationalized and expedited through the power of targeted data collection and advertising and the efficiencies of production brought up due to computers. Look at the music produced, I've sat in and engineered these sorts of sessions and it clearly takes us no longer than 10 hours a song to record, mix and master, when it was something like a rock band, we'd be there for 18 hrs a day to make sure everything goes perfect. A bit of a tangent, but I think that may bring some insight into how I may have misunderstood your notion of a radicalized pop media.
Mason Cox
you're borderline gen X
David Ramirez
What site? Yea Forums? Lol. This place is a shithole full of casual mediocres who only are able to understand radiohead, death grips and some indie rock bollocks. Litterally kids without taste. Future dads and suckers
Anthony Sanchez
Notice how there's no Beatles, King Crimson, or Beach Boys on that comparison chart. Based zoomers taking out the trash.
Christian Wood
more ratings = scores go down, you fucking idiot
Joshua Reed
That ""chart"" is a chronological listing of Rolling Stones albums, you imbecile.
Henry Kelly
WEW lad what a retard
Cooper Barnes
we have to look at other bands and see if it's the same with their stuff
Julian Powell
Thanks, pal. I understand basic statistics, but using your logic even things with lower scores will go down rather than get closer to average, 2.5. I don't see how you can act like people don't have stupid biases when some retard like the person in exists.
Joshua Powell
cause rolling stones fucking suck and youre a retard lol
why are these guys so fucking weird in every picture they're in?
Hudson Watson
fucking based
Levi Brown
If zoomer shits are killing the ratings for a band like The Rolling Stones, what about Pink Floyd? Why are Dark Side and WYWH are still in the top six despite it being dad rock too?
Jeremiah Ward
>a fun thing is also to compare shit with chocolate, you don't have to guess which one is a popular food
Anthony Gomez
communism is much worse than nazism so yeah it's a bit of an uneven comparison, but I guess people do prefer shit as food on RYM so to speak
RYM has basically taken part in an accelerated historical revision of popular music, for some reason it lets a bunch of underage ideologues taint facts with their own skewed view of what music looks like.
The main problem is the influx of complete and utter pseuds like GrimesCuck who joined in 2016 and already have 10,000+ ratings (which is fucking bogus), claim to be some kind of obscure art curating maniac completely consumed by avant-garde compositions, except their favourite artists are Grimes or Chvrches or some shit, it’s basically lying on the internet to look cool.
Charles Clark
I find this modern fetishisation of hatred for nazis fascinating do you know of any literature on this subject?
