Mr Beast Is Like If Gatsby Didn't Have A Motive Or Love Interest Or Anything And He Just Did That™️

Finally After literal years of being told I have Tumblr energy, I became brave enough to do it. Hi yes this is my blog, vaguely gender, fairly gay, occasionally a mention of things going on with me, and all chaotic. When I told a friend of mine I got a Tumblr she misread it and freaked out because she though I got Twitter My mother would have never wanted this and wouldn't want it now, precisely the reason I'm doing it. Sorry mom I guess

I don't know much about The Beatles and I don't know everything about The Monkees but I do know that while some fundamentals are the same for the two these bands had very different sounds from one another even when they were doing similar things

I've heard Pieces, Aquarius, Capricorn, & Jones LTD get compared to something like Magical Mystery Tour, and while yeah, there's some small similarities, I feel like The Monkees were sort of making their own stuff by that point and straying away from The Monkees+More of The Monkees and with that, they were drifting further from that "American Beatles" image (and, of course, making stuff dissimilar to The Beatles), and The Beatles were making the image a lot of people now associate with them (that you should be high as a kite to enjoy their music. Which. I've yet to try that). Even if you look at the early days of The Beatles/The Monkees, The Monkees were very much their own thing, even as a "manufactured image", they're not super Beatlesesque, they just sound like a good late 60s classic rock band.

Honestly one of the only similarities I can think of off the top of my head between the two (aside from like. Basic instruments) is the fact both bands would wear Chelsea boots. And that was extremely common in their kind of scene so like. Doesn't even matter. Also drugs but again common.

Tldr: The Monkees and The Beatles made very different music and it's weird to me that The Monkees are still (to some) considered "just Beatles rip-offs"

Edit: To clarify, I know The Monkees were made because of The Beatles. I'm not saying people compared the two with little reasoning other than the fact they were both popular 60s bands.

it’s like christmas morning

"why do you know that" i am curious about the world around me

Wait wait wait what do you mean The Smiths is "male-manipulator-music" is this a thing I just associate it with my fellow sad trans people what do you mean it's for the Patrick Bateman/Scott Pilgrim types

you know the drill, op disabled reblogs etc etc etc

As Elon Musk cements his place in history as a fascist tech overlord and the rest of the world looks at us in horror, I really do want to reiterate what I feel will be lost to the history books

Nearly everyone in america has thought and continues to think that Elon is very cringe.

my true love

Okay, I know I acted silly about this, but the fact that there is 1 singular year round roller skating rink in the city of Philadelphia home to 1.6 million people is kinda fucking horrifying when you think about the broader implications of it.

See this is the life advice one should follow while getting dressed, doing anything creative, and making purchases

Before you post, think:

Is it groovy

Is it smashing, baby

Is it shagedelic

Does it give you mojo

Does it make others randy
