Some would simply call it an evolution of style, and others might call it a sellout. I'd like to hear your examples of musical acts that changed so radically over time that you'd consider it a sellout....
I enjoy Coldplay as much as most people don't enjoy Coldplay, which is quite a lot considering what I've heard some people say. They have, how shall I put this, "refined their sound" extensively over the past decade. Parachutes, A Rush Of Blood To The Head, X&Y, Viva La Vida: that's a remarkably solid group of albums. And then there's been a string of albums that I admit I enjoy rather less than those. Those younger than me still seem to enjoy them, so they must still be doing something right. So you can call that what you will. I wouldn't call it selling out per se but they certainly have taken a direct route to commercial success and aren't afraid to change with the times.
Like, for example I have a specific issue with a digital audio converter by a popular brand but their customer service is awful. A simple google prompt followed by site:reddit.com would yield solutions almost every time. In fact I would say I did 90% of my googling that way. How do I break this cycle and do you feel this is one...
I went to see the original Pirates Of The Caribbean movie knowing almost nothing about it and having no expectations other than air conditioning and cheap popcorn (a bit of a miracle to begin with). I think one of my friends said they heard good things about it. Turned out to be remarkably fun, so that's a pleasant memory right there.

I was able to subscribe to discussions on Beehaw using Kbin ; I wasn't able to do that using Lemmy, for whatever reason (probably me, but who knows for sure)
Anyway, Kbin works, so I'm using it.

You want a music video? Any music video? One of the best of the 1980s? One of the best of all time? One of the catchiest songs ever? Something that will never go away?
Take On Me.
Everything on here is awesome right now, it feels like an online forum from the 2000s, everyone is friendly, optimistic, it feels like the start to something big....
shameless self-promotion : my band The Three Leonards also do covers that re-imagine the song. Our first album starts with a cover of One Headlight and we got some great response to it.
I was extremely late to the party with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, never having played any of them until 2016 or so. Having long missed the zeitgeist, I figured it would be one of those instances where the games were massive in their time but are simplistic or clunky to play now. But man, was I wrong....
Just in time to beat the heat and those inevitable summer doldrums, the 10-episode sophomore season of Apple TV+'s stellar sci-fi series "Foundation" is set to soar into our corner of the universe, and now we've just been gifted a new expanded trailer packed with explosive space combat and a brutal battle on the horizon....
I haven't read the source material, so whatever liberties it takes with them are lost on me.
All I know is the show has been pretty refreshing. I love the audacity of the set design and art style. It's generally not content to phone anything in. Really looking forward to seeing season 2.
@eosfpodcast We're really enjoying Foundation: the world-building is pretty amazing. and Severance is just impossibly clever storytelling: can't say enough good things about it.

In your opinion, what is a thing that lived up to the hype it had or still has?
It can be a movie, a scientific discovery, food, whatever
