What's The Next Big Pop Cultural Push?

[Bohandas]

What does this even mean?

A lot of these AI content creation sites have automated moderation and if you ask the AI to make a song about killing people with hammers or doing hard drugs or that are just the f-word over and over again or something like that they won't process the request. Therefore it's not a competitor to artists who do those kinds of songs.

So, what are some of your favourite songs about killing people with hammers or just f-words over and over again?

Crime/action movies catering to the Chinese market.

Given everything that's happening in Hong Kong, I don't think it'll be the epicenter of this, but stuff inspired by the classic Hong Kong movies of this sort would be great.

Hammer Smashed Face (Cannibal Corpse)
Maxwell's Silver Hammer (The Beatles)
F**K the World (Insane Clown Posse)

Not trying to be difficult but people have been predicting "Bollywood going big" for literally the last 20 years, and whilst the odd movie has found some cross-cultural traction, it's been about 1 every 5 years, if that (with RRR as the most recent). RRR worked because it was very funny and strangely cathartic to see naughty redcoats have tigers slung at them, but a lot of other Indian (and some Pakistani) non-period action movies have politics that might read as somewhat fascist or fascist-adjacent (no surprise given the BJP is fascist-adjacent, and indeed directly evolved from the pure-fascist RSS). I could easily see some more period pieces getting traction though.

Yeah, and popular U.S. action movies haven't been openly fascist-leaning since the 80's

I've been thinking that maybe we'll see more and more "historical" super-productions like gladiator II. Between it and Jason and the Argonauts these seem to be in production. Whether they catch on or not, we'll see.

Judging by GII I hope not.

A new Odyssey film definitely sounds good to me

 

[MoonSong]

@trappedslider Yeah, I was thinking of the Odyssey. Somehow it crossed in my mind with the Argonauts.
