      "Polygon 10/10: a refreshingly innovative game that focuses on friendship, and also incredibly difficult twitch puzzles that certainly don't leave out people who can't do those, rather than violence. Genius! All games should be like this!"

      Well that's increasingly the norm in the counter-culture, precisely because the norm in mainstream culture is violent and gritty. Used to be the other way around, mainstream aggressively wholesome and alt being all dark and bloody. I'm sure it'll flip around again soonish.

      Like, Polygon is the Pitchfork of video games. Their position in the ecosystem is being deliberately contrarian. IGN is still giving TLOU2 10/10 Editor's Choice and a triumph in Rome.

      It's a music magazine stereotypically associated with "hipsters" (so with a tendency to hate on anything Top 40 and champion anything you're not cool enough to have heard of)

      I genuinely thought it was, like, officially mainstream, because it was the one big name I’m used to people bringing up as context for who they’re complaining about on the assumption the referent is shared

      See I don't think popular music has ever been popular with people who talk about music This is probably true for most things really

      You're mostly right although there is quite a bit of anti-hipster music discourse these days where people who are really into music get hype about Beyonce and Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish

      In the case of Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish it's interesting because they very much did build their persona on doing shit that was avant-garde and weird and alienating when they started out but then legitimately became mainstream when they kept getting #1 hits

      There was a lot of this discourse in the '90s where in the post-Nirvana world the "alternative" section of Tower Records was the one that was most popular with kids, which raises the obvious question of what "alternative" even means

          Yeah most of the top 40 when I was in high school was "alternative". "Real" rock was in "rock". At least on iTunes

          The most interesting thing about this is that in the case of Stefanie Germanotta/Lady Gaga this was a *deliberate strategy* She's talked a lot about how when she came up with the Lady Gaga persona she'd decided she was "going to become a #1 pop star at any cost"

          I respect that And I'd wager more people have enjoyed her music than would have if she'd stayed Stefanie Germanotta. Even though during my proto-trans excessive into Gaga phase I admit I really liked her work as Germanotta
