What the hell has happened to poptimists?

What the hell has happened to poptimists? It's like no one's home. Yeah, few can be bothered to learn about country, that's no surprise. But I'd think violent women would be a real crowd-pleaser.

I guess a lot of the old regulars have Proper Jobs now (or ones that block Livejournal).

Er, this reminds me that I need to do something about my own (un)employment situation.

I think the thing about the violent women thing is that that's quite touchy territory. I sort of half started to reply, got angry, tried to articulate this for three minutes and then had to shout at some people IRL. :(

Are you confusing this with the angry women thing over on Tom's and Lex's Tumblrs? I'm talking about the poptimists orgafun thing, which doesn't require replies so much as nominees.

All you have to do is like a song where a woman takes revenge on a guy, like it enough to nominate it (and meserach specified that it could be creative revenge rather than violent, if you want). You like Miranda Lambert's "Down," right? Erika linked it and said that Miranda "gets her heart broken and proceeds to take it out on the entire male half of the human race." But Erika had already chosen Ashlee's goofy stalker song "Follow You Wherever You Go" as her nominee, so "Down" still needs to be nominated.

No I know what it is, I just think that's an awkwardly broad topic. Also sort of a weird one. Why not just 'revenge songs' or 'dark songs about relationships' or I don't know... there are songs I like that are about women getting violent revenge against men but I don't really think of them as that I suppose. 'Gunpowder and Lead' or 'Call Me Guilty' are powerful songs about domestic violence but they're sort of in the same category as 'Ruby (Don't take your love to town)' (or whatever it's actually called) for me; dark songs about relationships, not urgh oh, I don't know, there's a big ball of rage for me in this and it is tied to the angry women thing. (HO HO HO)

OH, I see you've made a response. Never mind.
