Oh you think they will wait till December, you poor innocent child.

[–] TheOneWithTheHair@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I do not think they will wait to December, but they will not bring her out in full force until after Thanksgiving. Then she will be EVERYWHERE.

Every radio station,
every shopping center,
every grocery store,
parks with lit fir trees will have speakers screaming out "All I want for Christmas is you, baby (Ah, oh, ah, oh)"

You walk into Walgreens to pick up flu medicine, and pass by ornaments like these

You'd rather hear the Whos in Whoville singing "Fah-who foris, dah-who doris, welcome Christmas, bring your light. " than this!

Lucky Americans with your late thanksgiving. After the Remembrance Day on the 11th Canada goes into full Christmas mode, Mariah included.

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Jfc I’m so sorry.

[–] eth0slash0@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I’m so sorry.

Yes, that's how Canadians react as well.

I learned not to make dentist appointments in December. You're trapped there for 30-60 minutes. Fucking Christmas music. I hate it

She has defrosted last month here already in the Philippines

I envy all of you

The real reason why we need to stop climate change.

[–] Dylan@lemdro.id 9 points 10 months ago

Filipino households have been making her stronger every year. Soon she'll be thawed out before summer ends.

Fucking hell, is there no decency??

Name something more Filipino than playing Mariah Carey Christmas songs in October

This and 20 versions of Last Christmas, which isn't a fucking Christmas song it's a goddamn breakup/cheater song.

[–] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Don't forget the third in the trifecta of holiday mood souring. Christmas Shoes.

In the 1990s, I worked at a video arcade. We had a VHS tape on a loop that we would get updated by mail once a month. It had a selection of music videos, cartoons, and other short things that no one ever paid attention to. That song was on the tape the December it came out. Because I worked a 40 hour week and we had the tape for a month and I had to hear the song once an hour, I heard it for a total of 160 times that month.

I hate that song and Mariah Carey.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 23 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Mariah Carey has made over $70 million from just this one song, averaging over $2 million per year since she wrote it in 1994

Also, She's sold over 200 million albums and has had 19 #1 singles, second only to the Beatles.

IMO, Emotions from '91 is a damn good album, and her best

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It's pretty much the only reason she hasn't been forgotten. She really doesn't do anything anymore.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 24 points 10 months ago

Shit I wouldn't either. She gets paid per play and every retail is mainlining it for 3 months straight.

Some say, in some walmarts and home depot, she roams the speakers year round.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I sure hope they give employees good mental health insurance then.

[–] OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

They do not, this song is more used to get employees to quit.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You know why all Christmas music was written in the 50s or earlier? Cuz anything newer just feels like cash grabs and pandering.

[–] almost1337@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Like so many things in life, Boomers are to blame.

Yeah I was hearing her in my local supermarket about 2 weeks ago 😫

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's climate change. Early defrosting

[–] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

If we continue like this we will have Mariah Carey all year long. This is why we need to stop climate change!

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I am really getting sick of Christmas shit being displayed and pushed in October. Quit ruining Halloween. Save that shit for Thanksgiving at least that closer to it.

For one I say Fuck Christmas and will not celebrate it. It all capitalism bullshit only reason they keep starting so early. Soon as fall hits they start right off with the Christmas shit because I guess Halloween doesn't have the financial draw for retail as Christmas.

[–] menemen@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hahaha, october.... In Germany they put up the decoration in late August this year.

Home Depot has had Christmas decorations out since early September. There's a war, alright, and Christmas is the aggressor. Repetitive, banal music is just one of its weapons.

The Picard/Q duet version has saved the song for me: https://youtu.be/3KvWwJ6sh5s?si=YfbjaTox1K6UJsIw

Of course now I think the Carey version is just wrong. She doesn't even try to quote Shakespeare.

Holy fuck I hate nothing more than christmas music.

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 2 points 10 months ago

What about snowy-season music that vaguely references christmas music but isn't actually about christmas specifically?

[–] Kandorr@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We need the holiday music draft. I'll take ALL your Mariah songs if you just take my "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" by Wings. I adore McCartney, saw him in concert. I hate this song.
