Niggas listened to 25 bowie albums man

Stockholm syndrome

these were spur of the moment decisions being made. yeah, there was no intention of gatekeeping but I can understand ET’s frustration as this is supposed to be a thread activity and not just a you-me-purrp-and-wes activity.

Never again

Indeed

It's very cliquey

Idk man i dont understand the gatekeep thing

Fr op has added anyone that what said to him in order

And these days is when it was made an "official" listening session thing, before that it was just some users itt going thru bowie discography

I want everyone to get along

could just forgot doing it in order of request and do a poll to decide tbh

might get people more interested in listening

Marries to the game

Understandable

But

The list after me is everyone tht didn't even join bowie hours if I'm being honest

Aside from wes after bruises

The way it was decided was fair.

Radiohead wasn’t chosen first because of you. It was chosen first because it was naturally brought up one day and decided by the people who are actually listening to these albums every day and discussing them. The only objections seem to come from those who aren’t partaking as heavily

Me, you, OP and Purrp are on the same page about basically everything, even if we give you a hard time sometimes lol.

And while that make sound like we’re gatekeeping or excluding people, we aren’t. Everyone has been allowed to join the group listenings the whole time. But a lot of them spent their time complaining and s***ting on Bowie instead of listening and being constructive with the criticisms.

im missing context but it feels like ppl want to join in but think there's no chance their music gets played cus of the backlog

Nah but I’m saying like if three people out of the 15+ that regularly post here decide what to group listen to, you can’t find it weird when other people are annoyed.

Like it would have made more sense to vote on artists and have everyone be included.

Obviously you’re also free not to do that and do whatever you want, but it just feels exclusionary

I'm fine with that

I just don't like that the word gatekeeping is being thrown around

Cuz that's not true at all

Tbf y’all were s***ting on Bowie for no discernible reason other than we were listening to his music

There were times when I didn’t wanna see the completely unnecessary hater energy related to a artist i love and it certainly wouldn’t make me wanna @ you to join but also nothing was stopping you from listening to the music

Feels like tht beginning of VZ lmao

When ppl were scheduled a month out

YOU GUYS ARE LISTENING TO 25+ ALBUMS BY ONE ARTIST?!?!

oh nvm i have nothing to say to that

definitely isn't gatekeeping but i think ppl are confused on the premise a lil bit

U good bro

We'll just do a poll

Yeah i do agree that maybe everyone that wants to participate should say one artist and then we make a list and we vote

And when we finish that list, we say an artist again and vote each time

I remember when you Bowie stans were posting "who" on ktt when he died

rate my gatekeeping prowess

The whole idea is that it was their first time listening to his discography

So idk what this means

It was only Bowie and that was before we decided to start listening to more discography’s

lol Vultures thread killed that possibility bud

we fending for scraps atp

What’s funny is if anything this feels even less fair to the people who were actively engaged in the whole thing and had natural suggestions as to what to try next based off of what we were listening to

Idk

im team ET
