I'm a big fan of this very specific type of greentext

WAKING UP, TO ASH AND DUST

Definitely where I live it was. I used to cycle between all the rock radio stations when listening to music and around the time that song came out it was all the radios would play. I actually liked the song when it first came out but it got so overplayed.

This is the only clip that makes me willingly listen to imagine dragons: https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginedragons/comments/dh21ul/city_blackout_perfectly_syncs_with_believer_sound/

(Sorry for link from "that site")

I'M WAKING UP TO ASH AND DUST

[-] Juice@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

This does not boad well

[-] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

This sounds like a GTA radio station

[-] locahosr443@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

My instant reaction to this was an overwhelming sense of vice city nostalgia

[-] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

rock you like a hurricane is way too edgy a choice. i'd go with i wanna rock and roll all night

[-] turkalino@lemmy.yachts 1 points 2 weeks ago

Idk that song’s pretty edgy, it’s about le sex, if you didn’t know 😏

[-] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 2 weeks ago
[-] unmagical@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

This feels like a "Sex FM" thing.

[-] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

What's sex FM and why didn't I think of it first?

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

My local rock station started playing straight-up modern pop hits a couple years ago. Could have at least left it at pop rock, there's no shortage of that ...

Though they never pretended to be brutal, they were always about classic rock and 90s pop rock. AFAIK they didn't even play Black Sabbath.

THERE'S TRAFFIC THERE'S TRAFFIC NO TRAFFIC THERE'S TRAFFIC

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Every time Baba O'Reilly by The Who ends, my brain adds in "Q104" before the next song starts

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

As happens to everyone who grew up in the greater Cleveland area in the '90s

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Must be more than one Q104. Mine was out of NYC.

[-] frank@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Q104.3 was dank as fuck

[-] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Same, steeped in that 104.3.

There was also a weird jazz station on AM (not 88.3FM) that'd show up on Sunday nights, but only for a few hours? I still don't know what it was but I loved it.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Huh, looks like there were a few of them owned by the same group. Gross.

[-] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Shotgun and 5.56 combo sounds like amateur sound design for sure....it's perfect

[-] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It's the radio ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

And passing it off as a bald eagle

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 0 points 2 weeks ago

I am not sure how to read this. Is it a reference to something in particular ? are the two interlaced texts happening in parallel ? what is the link between a radio announcement and killing dogs in a nursery ?

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

it's very common for radio personalities to be like "THIS IS THE REAL STATION FOR HARD ALT CLASSICS, KEEP YOUR GRANDMA AWAY!" and then play the same 200 song playlist as every other station because radio has been captured by iHeartMedia and homogenized to hell and back.

[-] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

iHeartMedia plays artists that they own, either record contract or catalogue.

When I lived in the UK my local gym always had the same shitty radio station on and I was like "Why do they keep playing these artists? I almost never hear them on BBC" and it turned out to be because the owners of the radio station also owned those artists. Vertical integration baby!

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago

I'm grateful every day that my rock station is independent, and they still play Black Sabbath and Tool and whatnot. It's still pretty repetitive, but that's because there's not a ton of new rock music.

[-] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

There is an absolutely insane amount of new rock music. More rock music is being made today than ever before in the history of music.

[-] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

So greentext is usually used like quotation marks or asterisks to denote roleplaying. Here it's being used to denote a soundboard like radio DJ's use.

The reference is to American classical rock stations that use very aggressive sound bumpers but play very milktoast music, usually the same 40 songs since the 80's

[-] Gustephan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think milquetoast is the word you want; milktoast is phonetically correct but that spelling refers to a breakfast dish.

[-] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 week ago

Please tell me that "milktoast" isn't something that people eat.

[-] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

my stepdad used to tear up bread and eat it in milk like cereal. I've seen some shit
