The New Alphabet Song

The new alphabet song

I am working on a playlist. A wonderful, awful playlist. The goal is to design the playlist that is as irritating as possible to the broadest possible range of music listeners. For example, though I am fond of quite a broad range of jazz styles there will most certainly be jazz included specifically for those folks who find it annoying. I would like as many suggestions for songs and genres that you personally strongly dislike or that you have noticed other people tend to dislike as possible. DMs are open if you have music you are ashamed to admit publicly that you have listened to.

I am currently trying to find:

The worst metal music you have ever heard

The worst hip-hop music you have ever heard

The worst country music you have ever heard

The worst classical music you have ever heard

Something you find deeply unsettling or that inspires genuine fear

Especially if this particular piece of music is considered terrible by many fans of the genre.

But anything you have ever hated is very much appreciated.

Here is a sneak peek at some of the bad things I plan to do:

Pick a song to play four times in a row, play another song, then play it two more times

Follow metal music with whale sounds

Play The Final Countdown at random intervals

4 minutes and 33 seconds

Sandwich an upbeat jazz piece between two white noise tracks that are no shorter than six minutes

Lowercase music

Some songs that make a lot of people cry followed by something with heavy synthesizer and/or hard rock

Christian rock

Follow calming ambient music with something loud. What sort of loud thing is as yet undecided

Christmas music. I’m currently considering something off Julie Andrew’s Christmas album as well as something off the Barenaked Ladies holiday album and perhaps a third other thing

WAP

Bird calls

If I succeed it will be unsuitable for all audiences.

i think that all the people who argue about gender by saying "the woke left cant even define a woman" need to get hit with the "who are you" question by a buddhist monk. no, thats your name, who are you. no thats your profession, who are YOU. no you fucking idiot thats your species, who are YOUU. dumb bitch u cant even define yourself

Okay so gender is socially constructed and some of us decided that it wasn’t enough so we constructed queerness to defy, nuance and tailor the social construction of gender. We have been very intentionally working and reworking this queerness we constructed since we laid the foundation. I think that intentionality of the process of building the concept of queerness is odd. We regularly, through less than ideal means unfortunately because we have a bad habit of yelling at each other about it, redefine transness amongst ourselves. Ask the first people who identified as transsexual what that identity meant to them and you will get a wildly different answer than you would get from your average modern day trans kid. We are weirdly self aware about this process. I mean. Not totally. Obviously. But in comparison to straight people who are typically mind blown when the 13 year old nonbinary child of someone they graduated with explains to them that gender is a social construct we are hyper conscious of how we’re talking about our genders and attractions. Spend some time scrolling through old asexual forums. Watch the four hour video essay YouTuber X made about respectability politics and transmedicalism. Straight people generally put less thought into being straight over the course of their entire lives than a gay teen spent thinking about gayness in the month following the realization that they’re not straight. This level of intentional consideration going into the development of this social construct is weird, right?

I will be thinking more about why we do this (probably as a way to defend our existence and because queerness in its current form has only really gained traction in this recent age of science and philosophy where we think about everything more but that’s its own thought soup to cook) and what effect this intentionality has on our community and society at large. Are there benefits to this method of social construction? Harms? Are other concepts being socially constructed in a similar way right now? In the past?

Anyone have thoughts on this? Sources? Has someone else already done this thinking for me that you’re familiar with? Strategies for sleeping when your brain won’t shut up about your gay ponderings?

This list includes doctors in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Europe!

Even if you're not the target demographic, please share for any of your friends who may be.

And if you or someone you know would like to be added to the list, there's a place for that!
