Ugly people make music all the time.

You really gonna tell me Ed Sheeran is good looking? Post Malone?

Tap for spoiler/s

Where's his chin?

But the contention is about music being better, and that's some bad music.

Did we read the same post?

Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it

I guess your comment makes sense if you find those two attractive.

Like I get the boomer joke of music these days sucks but my comment was leaning into joke.

Your comment makes sense in the frame of "ugly people are allowed to make music," my comment refers to the "music was better" part of the post.

The ugly people you mentioned don't support your comment's argument against the original assertion because their music is terrible, not "better."

Some music sucked in the boomer's days, made by ugly and pretty people alike.

He’s simply disputing the assertion that ugly people aren’t allowed to make music.

[–] 5wim@slrpnk.net -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's what the comment you replied to starts with.

[–] IAmNotACat@lemmy.world 0 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah so what’s your problem with what he said then?

[–] 5wim@slrpnk.net 0 points 17 hours ago

Why did you reply to my comment to restate the first part of what I said?

[–] Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah, and Jack White aint pretty either.

Imo, this post is better directed at hollywood

I’ve never heard his music, but I think Post Malone is beautiful

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago

He looked better pre-Malone

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Adele isn't that good looking as well, but she is well loved as a singer.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You've got some warped standards for beauty.
