According to the report, more than 30 venues launched or expanded environmental projects in cooperation with Eilish and team.
I don’t listen to her music, but I like everything I’ve read about her. She sounds like a good role model for the younger generation.
Perfect countertrend to the artists who visit a single location and make 10+ soccer venues of fans fly to them from all over the continent.
As someone who lived through the misery of Taylor Swift’s invasion of Singapore - this. Absolute chaos, made a hater for life out of me.
I mean half the blame there is the Singaporean government bribing her to not perform in any other SEA countries…

Could you imagine?!
Yeah, it’s nice to imagine.
Less terrible = still terrible
You’re like a child throwing a tantrum. I see this all over the Internet: someone thinks of a way to make something better and, like an entitled prince, you go “it’s not a perfect solution so it’s worthless! Problem not solved entirely, begone with you.”
You’re not suggesting anything, you’re just being petulant. Sorry that there isn’t a solution that makes everyone happy and doesn’t even crush a single ant with how little it impacts the environment, sorry we don’t live in the make believe land where that’s possible. Better shut down any attempt to make the world better if it doesn’t solve everything everywhere all at once forever.
Fuck you, and everyone who is like this, you are actively keeping the world shittier every time you do this.
Honestly this shit is like an entire culture at this point. There is literally always one that has to negatively shit on everything. It’s like doomer shit personified. Must be quite a miserable existence.
I would bet there are AIs out there crawling social media posts to be the complainer like that if someone hasn’t organically posted it already.
You’re so nice, thanks for your kind words
You seem to have completely missed my point. I was not complaining about people trying to be “less terrible”, of course that’s good. But this is an “Uplifting News” community, and I found an article that says “well at least we’re trying to be not quite as terrible, lol” not uplifting, but quite sad. I would find it uplifting if people were trying to be good, not “less terrible”.
This would fit better in a “music” community, not “uplifting news”.
If you wanted to convey any sort of nuance, try using more than 4 words next time.
Yes, thank you for pointing out my deficiency, I will do so. I’m not always perfect at expressing myself, even though I try to be, sometimes I utterly suck.
Saying you’re not complaining about people trying to be less terrible then explaining exactly how you’re complaining about people less terrible.
Sorry things aren’t as black and white as you can handle, but let people work incrementally at least.
But that’s what I’m saying, I’m not complaining about people being less terrible, I’m complaining about expecting uplifting news in an uplifting news community, but the news making me feel sad, not lifted up. I didn’t say I was not complaining, just that I’m not complaining about what people are saying I’m complaining about, including you.
So you’re complaining that you personally didn’t feel good, and that’s somehow OP’s fault, or the article, or the industry, or the celebrity…
I think that you’re not meeting things halfway. You can’t just sit back and have people serve you a good mood little prince, you have to make a teensy bit of effort on your end, too. To not be a curmudgeon. Because anyone clever enough can just twist anything into bad news and a bad mood, like you did.
Instead of accepting the good news presented to you, you got a case of the "yeah but"s, which hiccup out of your mouth every time you get good tidings.
“People are trying new ways to clean the ocean” yeahbut it’s not a perfect solution there’s still plastic being made.
“People found a new way to treat cancer!” Yeahbut it’s not a cure for all cancer what’s the point.
“This person is trying to make the music industry better!” Yeahbut concerts are still bad, people should just listen to local musicians.
So, yeah, TLDR, skill issue on happiness, go touch grass and maybe try to just accept good news instead of whine about it
No one met me halfway, look at how this entire comment chain treated me, including you, people telling me to go fuck myself and how terrible I am, and everyone agrees. Even if I am a downer, I’m not doing it to make people feel bad either, that just wasn’t my intention. I didn’t attack anyone, I’ve been trying to be kind the whole time, and just because I have an unpopular opinion that I didn’t keep to myself, I got trashed.
Nah, you did attack it. You started this off by trash talking people trying to make the world slightly better. Even if you didn’t mean to step on someone’s toes you still hurt them.
You talked shit then got consequences for it.
And you’re saying you don’t have to try to, for your own safe, accept that things can be made a little better rather than solved, because other people gave you those consequences.
I’m saying for your own sake, stop being picky when it comes to improving things, and stop talking shit if it’s not up to your unreasonable standards.
You’re right. We should get rid of all concerts and music.
Of course not. But there’s concerts all the time in my town by local musicians and same all over the world, there’s no need for these massive tours that as you can clearly see, are bad for the environment.
“Why would you want to go see this artist when you can pay less to see a completely unrelated artist of a different genre with wildly different production values?”
Because all musicians sound the same so why would you want to see weird al in concert when you could see stickineye joe and his cat banjo?
We’re seeing Weird Al this Summer.
How often you buy a new phone?
My current one is a used Fairphone 3 I bought 5 years ago. That’s the only phone I bought in my adult life so far.
in my adult life
But then that begs the question of how old you are, assuming it’s your first phone, unless you just somehow managed to get around without a phone, which seems impossible. Or I suppose the rest were hand-me-downs.
By the way, if it matters, I felt neutral to your position. Like, I don’t think people here should be acting so violently against you, but I also get the appeal of certain artists and that there will just inevitably be world-level artists, even if I don’t follow this one specifically. Like, I do think it can fit in here but that it’s not the strongest of fits, as well.
Well, got me there then. You stick to your beliefs! I respect it
I didn’t “get you there”, I just furthered our understanding of each other, which is part of my goals. Thanks for being kind about it :)
Of course! I apologize, you’re right, that language implied more than intended. Cheers :)
Stay with that one as long as you can, the newer ones have no notification LEDs, audio jacks and shitty OLED displays that lose brightness and just break down eventually.
Why are you using the internet? Get off unc stop polluting the environment
Because I think being informed about what’s going on in the world is useful.
Also it’s one of the safest form of social interaction a socially anxious person can do. Otherwise one gets very little.
