“Super Dangerous”: Police Chief Warns about “In My Feelings” Internet Challenge

Yeaaaaa, if not for the risk to the people around them, I would be all for natural selection here. But they could kill someone else rather than themselves.
 
Another awesome challenge created to help weed out society.

Drake makes wanna be black music for white people. Drake is one of the softest ghost written rappers out there. I don’t really like rap but this whole thing screams ghost ridin’ rip off.

90% of the people I know that listen to Drake are black though... And a lot of rappers and artists in general have someone else writing their material. If we were to critique artists only on their original material, it would start looking like a desert in comparison.

90% of the people I see at Drake concerts when I was working them were white people. Drake is a nice guy but is soft. Should see his manager.

If they don’t write their own music they aren’t really musicians — just performers.

Most rap acts write their own music, same with punk, metal, and alternative acts. Part of the fun of working with a production company in an unofficial capacity is I got to meet these people. I don’t like Janelle Monet or however you spell it but that girl is an artist, song writer and quite talented. Drake not so much. Wiz Khalifa was after and he was super talented.

Drake makes bubblegum music because when he tries to be street he gets laughed at. This challenge is definitely borrowing from a movement the Bay Area had going long before Drake left DeGrassi.

Technically musicians can be anyone that actually plays an instrument (to include singing as your vocal cords are an instrument). It has nothing to do with writing music. Performers on the other hand do not have to be musicians. I would agree they may not be true Artists as they are not creating the art of the music. I concur with Drake being soft though. I was merely commenting from the perspective I had, I have never been to or seen a Drake concert so I will defer to your experience there.

I would like to see the actual stats on this as many of them work for labels who have writers that help produce the songs and music. Punk, Metal, and Alternative are all smaller markets which is why you don't see as many labels trying to write their music. It isn't the same as Pop or Rap where they are far more popular and it becomes more imperative to create the right look, lyrics and music to make hits.

Most artists of any genre are not pulling in enough money to have ghost writers in any genre. Many pop artists don’t play an instrument, and don’t write their own music once they’ve become successful so that’s where the term performer comes from — at least from me.

Even a lot of pop performers have to write their own music before they get famous. Unless it’s a bubblegum deal where they find someone and write music for them ala Disney, boy/girl groups or just a prepackaged artist.

Also some of those alternative bands/punk bands/metal have gone diamond (10+ million sold album). The offspring come to mind off the top of my head as being one. I can definitely list more.

Hope I don’t catch heat for this but my buddy sent me this a few days ago.

If you weren't doing some serious questionable, stupid shit, you probably weren't having any fun as a young person. Social media has definitely amplified it by creating a larger pool of people to come up with said stupid shit, but really, the only thing differentiating us from these kids is the fact that they're recording it all.

No no. You have it wrong, but you touch on the cause of this, which is scale.

Media always amplified shit that didn't exist, or barely existed.

When I was in grade school, teen wolf came out, some people made some noise over the van surfing scene, and the media amplified it. When I was in high school, there was actually someone stupid enough to pull such shit and rapidly proceeded to have an unscheduled dismount and subsequent life spent imitating a potato due to traumatic brain injury.

Most people are not that stupid. The problem is at the global scale of the internet, you can put together enough idiots at any given moment to make EVERYTHING look like a fad that's growing.

Another good example was the laying down on the double yellow line scene from "the program". 1993. Internet wasn't really a big thing. When some kids died doing it, even the newspapers were like.. yeah, this is special stupid and didn't call it a fad. Today? You could probably run with it and find enough total idiots to make it look like more than a random act of stupid.

You know, this would be the only legitimate use of a selfie stick I've ever seen. I take no objections to this picture. The worst thing that can happen is he loses his phone. The best thing is that he gets a cool ass picture riding in an aircraft few people will ever experience.

the final straw to break the camel's back (so to speak) has to be the selfie tool. Ever since cell phones became inexpensive and since they all seem to come with a high res camera many folks have been spending their life showing the world how wonderful they are. MNore and more it is becoming all about ME (MY)

As opposed to the "modesty" of the late 70s and early 80s? Shiny clothing, jewelry, big hair, smoking, and partying.

Drunk driving was more frequent and more people died. Horribly self-centered and repugnant. Since the early 1980s, alcohol-related traffic deaths per population have been cut in half with the greatest proportional declines among persons 16-20 years old. https://report.nih.gov/nihfactsheets/ViewFactSheet.aspx?csid=24

Much more frequent in 1980: robbery, burglary, car theft, murder...
 
Doing this is stupid, but shouldn't the driver have noticed a man dancing around in the street? Kinda looks like stupid squared (and I"m not sure that the driver wasn't worse than the dancer...but it's close)
 
Meh. They design cars nowadays to be more pedestrian friendly in accidents. Nothing to see here.

"Street"? Oh, you mean the celebration of thug culture, slinging drugs to kids, abusing 'bitches' and shooting people to death for something serious, like their sneakers. Otherwise, it's "soft" music for white people.
 
I saw something I meant to read more on but also this "hot water challenge"? Came out in 2014 but is becoming popular again. Video record you pouring boiling water on a friend and getting their reaction.

Seriously I was too busy playing with star wars action figures when I was a kid, wtf people.

A guy asked me was I attending the local college this morning. At first 40+ year old me was flattered. Then I quickly made sure that he knew I was older than the kids attending college. :)

From the videos I have seen these aren't millennials but are whatever came after millennials.

Doesn't the 'millennial' generation start somewhere with kids born in the 80s? I feel like we blanket too many with that or more so use it instead of "damn kids".

82-2000 was the common accepted definition forever.

I just wish my generation could be as cool as gen X with Fred Durst.

Anyone born between 1981 and 1996 (ages 22 to 37 in 2018) will be considered a Millennial

Sorry to break this to you... you do in fact suck. You're also considered "Generation Y" (because people need to block off areas where people are born and give titles to it)

But don't worry, if you don't suck you might still say you suck, but you know that you don't suck. Example, all these absolutely fucking retards doing shit like this, and how many are not posting every iota of their lives online and doing stupid shit like this? Yeah those people don't suck, even though everyone says their generation sucks. Another example "The Greatest Generation" ummm riiiiight, they're all great, nope sorry, they still have a sucky component too
 
Different people have a different start date for generations. For millennial I have seen it start anywhere from 78 to 82 and have an end between 95 - 2001.

you are a millennial if you have spent your entire adult life after 2000. so basically anyone 21 (or a few years less depending on which start point you have) or younger but at least walking and just about starting school in the year 2000.

Thank you for this! I do feel it is weird that we do this with 'groups' of birth years. With no rhyme or reason to it other than we cannot seem to exist without labeling a group somehow.

I am fine just labeling stupid people as such instead of making it part of the year they were born. That is up there with astrology imo.

I'm not sure I would qualify most rap as music so writing it isn't some special thing. The vast majority of it is just low effort garbage talking about being a thug, criminal, playa and about drugs, violence and crime. Not to say there aren't some incredibly good songs, there are...about 1 in every 200.

As an 1981er, I prefer to refer to myself as a member of the Pepsi Generation. Also, I owned a car (with a loan from the First Bank of Mom) before 2000, so I clearly don't qualify as a Millennial.

There we go. We need people to start offering to give 10 people $100 each if they complete 1 school year making no worse than a C+ in any class and don't miss more than 2 days, or if they raise all their grades at least 1 full grade level. That would be a good investment of $1000.
