First of all I'd like to thank you for your karaoke input. I have since deleted that picture of me and a friend of mine filtered through an AI generator, but just know that I am possibly out there outsinging all of you at any given time. Second of all, I owe you all an apology. There's no reason I couldn't have done this on Monday or Tuesday, but simply put, to quote Lindsay Funke, I'm...don't feel like it.
But, of course, I'd like to make it up to you with a...
S U P E R R E C A P
We're gonna be quick. We're gonna be dirty. We're gonna be trying to get this done before this fucking Joy Division album I'm listening to finishes. Let's begin.

PATH OF DISCUSSION: Who gets to claim post-punk? (Whoever's working at Hot Topic today) > DMS repeatedly posting "Inforoo pretends to listen to X" has been a shockingly successful tactic to getting something voted out > People like folk music > People like techno > Evelyn Champagne King slaps > I had one beer while watching a zydeco band and we started comparing things to other things > gotta give it to jorge, the man has YouTube videos ready for anything > people scrambling to make their last jokes about alternative music before it goes > excuse me, before it gets the best the best the best the best the best the best the best of us > wow!

Why not) > snowman is REALLY excited about some genres sticking around this long > "Not to mention posers" > "Disco has adapted to stay relevant, unlike genres like funk, jazz, metal and soul" > "House is only good if you're rolling" > seriously what the fuck was going on with the takes in this thread? gets a QoR point bumped up for those alone > ok a lot of people also dunked on tristan here > on the other hand tristan also had a lot of wild takes in this thread >Teddy reminds us what this survivor is all about: "Inspector Norse" is a fucking banger > more Todd Terje > ambient dad > boomers and house music > The anti-disco movement comes creeping back > a brief debate on post punk before punk gets obliterated by one vote
-ROUND 15- VOTED OUT: House QUALITY OF READ: 0.4 "DOOMSDAY"?: YES!!!!!! FUCKING FINALLY!!!!!!!!! BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE GENRE: "Lao Traditional"
PATH OF DISCUSSION: people want folk, classic rock, and funk gone. but we got house gone > sang says "Show me a category that can top all these classic rock bands" and I'm not going for the obvious joke > are the Beatles classic rock? (yawn) > I disagree with the old people like bad music thesis that isn't even really a thesis that gets floated around on here sometimes but this page has singlehandedly been the most boring of any thread this survivor so far > who loves REO Speedwagon? (My mom, so I can't talk shit about them) > more classic rock talk > funk > who listens to jazz? (the answer is garageland.) > Going to share a take because it was half mentioned here and I'm bored: Innerspeaker is awful > oh here we go esteban is making the "all electronic music is made on computers, which is bad" argument > JTR's rebuttal was very funny though > and then the vibe immediately flattens with a 2-post debate about what genre Silk Sonic is.

PATH OF DISCUSSION: Okay we're starting off strong with a Destiny's Child track... > TLC, all right... > okay murso listens to a lot of Jodeci so I guess that's why we got rid of R&B. > garageland is mad that genres got voted out of a game in which, definitionally, genres had to be voted out > "the least musical genres remaining" > okay now we're just getting to a point where after weeks of trying to get hyperspecific between genres, we're sort of...going backwards? Maybe it feels like we only go backwards? (A second hot take: Lonerism is all right.) > sang brings up a valid point which is where did all the funk votes go? and he brings up a less valid point which is why did he get to see Sade? > lol postjack's comment about Beck > seriously I cannot stop thinking about how funk made it into the top 10. I might hate it because house is gone but honestly that's a hilarious outcome and why I keep coming back to these games. anyway > okay we get it pop music is good and esteban thinks it's bad > this is also going to shock you guys Rummy is also mad that genres got voted out of a game in which, definitionally, genres had to be voted out > MPG being a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan is a twist I honestly didn't see coming > lol tristan's Fred again joke > lol "Bury me in a Neil Young tshirt" > Disco and funk made a comeback, honestly also didn't see that one coming > is this thread going to get good in spite of that ridiculous pop music debate? > esteban half-implying the difference between funk and disco is that funk is black people wearing outrageous costumes and disco is white people wearing outrageous costumes > what genres are the most easily definable left? (techno was probably the most singular genre out of all 30 and that's also probably why people hated it lol) > yeah Sly Stone is good, I'll allow it > Teddy is about to hit the nuclear option on this whole survivor. I almost wrote that in the cadence of "We Didn't Start the Fire" and am half regretting not writing a single recap post in that style > Jortles thinks of 90s/00s and R&B but on the other hand, I'm always thinking about Aaliyah > esteban and tristan and pablo fighting over who says they love disco and hate funk > and yet, I'm *STILL* thinking about Aaliyah! > oh hell yeah we're cancelling the Foo Fighters > almost gave this thread a 9.0 just for the sheer drama of seeing Don saying he hopes Taylor Hawkins is burning in hell > people try and plant the metal seed > yeah that Onion funk headline is still funny > it's wild that for the insane amount of posting he's been doing in these threads, murso is still somehow bringing up the best rare songs out of almost anyone > how was there so much discussion about funk and zero discussion about folk and funk didn't even get voted out?? wild > lol DMS's "Name one Joni Mitchell song as good as Return of the Mack" > all this talk of great 90s R&B songs and I'm ****still**** thinking about Aaliyah!!! > meanwhile, people are still thinking of Joni Mitchell (who, to be clear, is also good, but also partially responsible for the Counting Crows' "Big Yellow Taxi") > "R&B-Folk suicide pact"
-ROUND 17- WHO'S ABOUT TO GET VOTED OUT: Metal QUALITY OF READ: 4.2 "DOOMSDAY"?: Yes, but it was down to the wire BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE GENRE: "C64"
PATH OF DISCUSSION: okay so it started off with people wanting to vote out funk... > esteban straight up implies the difference between funk and disco is that funk is black people wearing outrageous costumes and disco is white people wearing outrageous costumes > Jessie "Motherfucking" Ware > New Orleans brass > a lot of Sesame Street memorabilia > actually I once recorded a Sesame Street record from my college's radio station onto my external hard drive for some reason. #musicpreservation > snowman: born in Detroit, moved to Memphis, and currently lives in the soul capitol of the world: Phoenix > The Temptations vs. The Supremes > hold on Larry Levan produced one of those Sesame Street songs? Gotta check that out later > we got rid of all the black genres of music except for half of the genres currently remaining (and that's being conservative) > uh oh! Nazi metal > "Where’s esteban to call everyone pussies?" > video game metal: no thank you! > I'm listening to Imperial Triumphant right now and wondering if they're actually a jazz band that just growls a lot > time signatures > loled at problem dog calling prog bands pussy asses > as a disco and a metal fan, yes, I am old, young, hot, and smelly all at once and that's valid > people are posting lots of videos and it's not always clear how ironic they're being > Róisín "Motherfucking" Murphy (also "Jealousy" is a disco song. Not "Incapable" smh) > Daph "Motherfucking" ni > Laura Branigan > garageland is here to gatekeep metal > okay we're listing metal bands > gotta be honest guys the case for metal, which I love, has not looked good today > ambassadorofhair > oh I guess there was a lot of maneuvering so that people who previously voted for funk changed their votes to either disco or metal to save their preferred genre. That is the only actual recap explanation I think I've ever posted in here. > rebelbrad just learned how to click twice > Gays are from Mars, Straight are from Venus > is it disco demolition night on Inforoo Dot Com? (no) > okay there have been so many metal songs posted today and I have no idea which ones are the good ones > Aroochitects 2023 baby! > this has been going on for a long time but I'm still liking making these random genre playlists so I'm okay with it > I did not like spending two hours on this fucking recap that was only supposed to take half an hour though.
oh one last note from karaoke: someone later did Beyoncé's "Love on Top" and after that song the DJ noted *multiple* times "That's what the strippers are dancing to!" I don't go to strip clubs so I need someone to answer for me: are there strippers out there really dancing to "Love on Top"?
"it's wild that for the insane amount of posting he's been doing in these threads, murso is still somehow bringing up the best rare songs out of almost anyone"
The only good thing about being old is living through a large amount of great music

The closer we get to the end of this abomination, the more excited I get for Ultimate. Probably won't have as much action, but the results will be entertaining

you are going to be shocked by this, but at the beginning of this round of Survivor, like every round of every previous Survivor, people keep making wild claims about how terrible everyone else's taste and how classic rock getting voted out reflects wildly poorly on Inforoo. > that's right, motherfuckers! liking water is a beta cuck trait! > esteban, much to everyone's surprise, hates disco > "the disco joke" excuse me!!! > Nathan Fielder gets a dig in at indie > esteban went to go see the decidedly non-virtuosic pussy ass dance music maker Chris Lake at Bonnaroo this year > people are mad about jazz potentially leaving > jpbrez posts a bunch of jazz albums and sang responds with "13 more" which makes him sound like a serial killer > Horton Hears Some African Jazz > I do agree with everyone: it's kind of remarkable how far psych has made it/is presumably going to make it > Shit Shitter and the Shitty Shitter > more psych hatred, more jazz videos. etc. etc. etc.
Alright. I don’t know if I’ll be up all that late but I’ll do what I can. Fwiw I had to pause Alcatraz Fest earlier and just got to Death Angel at 4 hours In. Metal got rooked and Mark Osegueda can still fucking sing. Credit out to San Francisco for the heavy thrash contribution to metal (Metallica, Death Angel, Megadeth (if Dave was on medicine), Exodus, Testament, etc.

Post of the Day:
honestly think I made the best post today but I hate quoting myself so if you want to look at it, it's the Inforoo Brunch/Inforoo Survivor one.
(idk if I'd call it psych, but you're right snowman, this was right up my alley.)
Path of Discussion:
People are very mad at jazz being voted out > Inforoo is terrible > A brief discussion of the misogyny of criticizing pumpkin spice lattes > Soul videos (this recapping shit is easy)
