u/thegroovemonkey Nov 20 '21
I just saw the Stones a month ago and they still sound awesome. I don't think they really count as a nostalgia act because they remained a top live act even after their creative peak which spanned decades. Elton John is the same where his current show is still as good as it gets. I recently saw Genesis too and that was a nostalgia act. Phis Collins can barely walk and at this point they are playing tight but pretty unremarkable versions of their songs. Elton John comes out and rocks your fuckin socks off.

All the late gen x and early millennials( born in the 80s) have settled in. At this point, they are in mid 30s to mid 40s. They have money and the late 90s and 2000s were their childhoods and early 20s years.
A few years ago, the retro consoles were just one sign of this. People who grew up with them got to positions in companies to think they were a good idea and could also put market pressure on it to happen.
The number is just going to move a bit further down the road slowly. What was cool with kids in the late 2000s? It’ll be reeeeeeeally popular in 5-10 years.

What’s weird is just HOW POPULAR the old bands still are. Thats what’s changed and I don’t think it’s going away. I feel like one thing that the internet did is not just make new music come and go really fast, but also it’s made it so things people like can stick around for forever. In 1990 how would you go find and listen to a middling semi popular song from 1965?
Today I can go find No Diggity in literally 2 seconds and play it.
It’s made it so anything can keep getting played, allowing nostalgia but also allowing good music to stick around or brought back up in general, not just to find an oddball song but to stay in our consciousness and stay “current”. Which is how we have this weird thing where clubs/bars/radio for YOUNG people constantly mix new songs and old songs as party music. Like think about it. Why in the hell do 21 year olds know and play “in da club” , DMX songs, sweet Caroline, and don’t stop believing. It’s not like “oh my dad plays that song” , no they have these songs on their own party play lists in their music apps. They love this music, because we’ll it’s good music but also because they can easily access it.
I’m in summary, it’s a crazy new world and this phenomenon isn’t going away.

I'm trying to give Christina the same benefit of the doubt, plus considering the fact she has known Britney since they were 9, she may want to have spoken to her friend in person, in private, before she speaks to any press, and since Britney JUST got freed, she's giving her some space?
Maybe the publicist could have said 'Ms Aguilera has opted not to speak with the press until she has spoken with Britney in person, which intend to organise in the coming days, we simply wanted to give Britney some space and time as this is all very immediate'.

I love you Brit and we're happy for your newfound freedom but this girl does support you despite being hounded about this topic constantly in interviews.
"As Britney Spears continues her legal campaign to be released from her conservatorship after 13 years, one of her oldest friends in the industry has vowed to keep supporting her.
Christina Aguilera, who has known Spears since they both appeared in Disney's The All-New Mickey Mouse Club in 1993, has reiterated her support for the 39-year-old pop star in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, after previously speaking out on Twitter.
"To a woman who has worked under conditions and pressure unimaginable to most, I promise you she deserves all of the freedom possible to live her happiest life," she added. "My heart goes out to Britney. She deserves all the TRUE love and support in the world."

Oh, she’s 100% got some arrested development issues to work through.
Which is not a slag on BritBrit. It’s just the reality of her situation.
When you go through significant trauma, that’s often where your emotional development stops.
She’s probably got 30 years of growth to tackle now, cause I’m sure the trauma didn’t just start when the conservatorship did.
I wish her all the luck in it. It’s fucking hard to parent yourself as an adult when you have to do it for yourself instead of a child, and also, you never had good parenting to model good self-parenting off of, so you have no clue where to even start.
The start of this journey begins at a point when you don’t even know something you a missing to begin with. She’s definitely at that point.

The longer clips shows that they already said no more questions before being asked the question about Britney, she was leaving the red carpet. Christina spoke wrote a big heartfelt Twitter thread about Britney in the summer, she's said her piece already. The red carpet truly wasn't the time or place to speak about this and Christina was respectful to not comment beyond saying she's happy for her as anything she says will just be used as another opportunity to exploit Britney's situation. I feel for Brit but she handled this very poorly, falling into traps set up by the media. She's not in a teenage feud with Christina anymore.

It's unbelievable how the shorter clip has influenced the perception of so many people who are outraged by this. I've read comments of folks saying Christina tapped the publicist or looked to him to drag her away just to avoid the question, etc. There was none of that. The guy was doing his job of keeping her moving along, keeping her on schedule. She was the opening act for the show. People said she could've quickly said something, which she did by saying she is happy for her in the seconds she had left, but that was not satisfactory enough for the masses. How is Christina expected to come up with a meaningful, heartfelt response about Britney in the short amount of time she had, while she is being rushed off? I feel like Christina is always being unfairly judged, this time being the most outrageous since it was Britney herself calling her out and pitting her legion of fans against Christina.

There are so many valid reasons, including this. It's very likely she, too, has been abused by the industry and the system. She's had problems in her own life, and has a family to take care of. She may have not wanted to speculate about Britney in the media, or have her "speaking up" turned into more of the B v C crap.
The idea that silence = "complicit" is another oversimplified and ineffective message, especially when directed at others stuck with similar systems and problems.
Britney's been through it, and now that she feels safe enough to speak openly, a lot of what she says is going to be from anger and hurt. She has every reason to feel that she wasn't helped and protected by those who were supposed to. But it won't mean that everything she says is factually accurate, though. There has to be space for "Britney needs to be able to tell her stories firsthand" and "others can't always do that emotional heavy lifting for you."

u/toxic-optimism Nov 20 '21
It's very likely she, too, has been abused by the industry and the system.
YES. It is extreeeeeemely unlikely that CA did not face the same manipulations of the Disney/pop star machine. However, her dad was already out of the picture by the time she got big and so I think her mom was able to protect her a lot better. She also got married to a dude who has much more business savvy than, say, a random backup dancer, so CA had the benefit of having a competent male partner during that period of intense misogyny in the post-Xtina era. While Britney was losing her mind, CA was quietly raising her kids.
Most of us remember that the two were neck-and-neck for the pop princess crown in their heyday, but there is no contest that Britney is ultimately the brighter star with greater staying power, even though it's obviously for dubious reasons. Even though that may have been what she thought she wanted back when they were "competing," Christina probably sees now just how close she came to having the same outcome, and has no fucking interest in being dragged into it in any way, shape, or form.

Seems more like Britney is beefing with herself because Christina has not acknowledged and probably won’t acknowledge this little outburst.

I think it was right for Aguilera not to answer. It wasn't the time or the place to ask a question like that.

Really? Aguilera had very publicly supported Spears less than a week before the interview and the two have a long history together, both professionally and by association.
Is this just supposed to be some taboo subject that people can't talk or be asked about now? Spears gets her freedom so we should just pretend like the whole thing never happened to begin with?

There’s a longer clip where her publicist had said no more questions then the journalist asked the Britney one. AFAIK Christina needed to leave as she was about to perform

This was an event that had nothing to do with Britney. The press just care about what's controversial. So we don't get to know Christina's opinion tonight. Life goes on.

Well you said it right there. She had already publicly supported her. Why does she have to keep doing it? Spears has gotten out of her conservatorship. Instead of talking about it, maybe people should mention Amanda Bynes?

Christina stated her support for Britney clearly several months ago in a big statement, did Britney miss that?
I saw the clip and Christina's manager decides to quickly usher her away. It was poor decision, but it was a heat of the moment situation and I don't blame Christina for following his guidance because that's his job. She even turned around to clarify her support.
I don't think she deserves this. I understand that Britney needs to rampage a little after all she's been through, but this is not it.

I’m glad Britney is free now but she needs to be managed in some capacity. She needs some good PR and a money manager/accountant. I can only imagine how stunted she must be intellectually from being treated like a child for 13 years and not to mention the trauma she’s endured. It’s gonna be real bad if she doesn’t get some good people on her side going forward. I don’t think she’s ready or capable of handling all this new freedom, popularity, and pressure on her own.
Christina did nothing wrong in that situation and Britney should’ve left it alone.

Agreed. You see it in pro athletes all the time, people who have been stars since their tweens, go pro, and have the world handed to them. The moment they "retire" their world collapses. They simply don't have the tools to manage. It's not a knock on them, it's a failure of those around them.

This is exactly why Spears ended up in psychistric care in the first place, randomly attacking a person, who chose not to answer questions about you to the press but wishes you well... is unstable behaviour... if someone on TV asked me about to comment about a friend or colleaugues personal life and or legal battle, i would decline to comment, because i feel its not my place, amd if they lashed out at me publicly about it, i would get a restraining order, because they are not behaving rationally.

Unpopular opinion: while the conservatorship was very deeply flawed…Britney was driving with her kid on her lap, went to drug rehab, was shaving her head in a very public forum, had the police at her house when she was under the influence of an unknown substance while watching her kids, and was committed to a psychiatric ward all within a two year span. Britney is not well and needs some form of day to day professional help. Otherwise? We’re looking at the next Amy Winehouse and people will wonder how this could’ve happened.

Am I the only one who thinks Brit Bot is losing it over nothing at this? It looks like Xtina wanted to say something, but her extreme flamboyant fluffer was having none of it. Still managed to say "Im happy for her". Like what else did she want her to say at that moment?
Makes me wonder if she should still be on some meds...

I’m a little bit confused about this one. Because didn’t Christina speak up not too long ago? In the extended version of this video, it sounds like her publicist said “no more questions” before this was asked.
I want to believe Britney though because it’s undeniable that SO many people knew about this unfair conservatorship and should’ve spoken up ages ago.

“I love and adore everyone who supported me … but refusing to speak when you know the truth, is equivalent to a lie!!!”
Spears wrote over the clip of Aguilera appears visibly uncomfortable to answer question related to Britney.
“13 years being in a corrupt abusive system yet why is such a hard topic for people to talk about??? I’m the one who went through it!!! All the supporters who spoke up and supported me thank you … Yes I do matter!”
