This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This isn’t even an exaggeration.

Is this happening anywhere outside US? Because every American radio station, TV program, podcast etc. seems to be fiiled to the brim with these annoying sound effects, ads, and with obnoxious testoreone imbued speaker.

And I don't remember encountering it anywhere in Europe.

[–] rivvvver@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

i dont remember many sound effects, but the testosterone imbued speaker is definitely in one of the big privately-owned rock radios in germany.

one thing that always annoyed me tho is when stations play snippets of really good music in their announcements or adverts, and then resume to playing the boring songs they played the last 3 hours.

I haven't listened to radio in >10 years, but back in the day they had a bunch of pre-recorded station ID messages like this in Germany, France and some African countries.

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah I think every radio station uses these pre-recorded snippets, but they are usually rather mild and they serve to remind you that "yup, you're still listening to our radio btw, ok bye"

Dammit!

Anon is totally gay, but the realness present in this text has broken my brain.

Also, that song is still fucking awesome.

Amazing. That's the most creativity I have seen associated with them.

I could fart in a rhythm and it would be more musical than the entire discography of imagine dragons.

Nah, tastes are different and since enjoyment of music is 100% subjective everyones opinion is equally valid.

I'd like to hear the farts please

Many years ago my station of choice when driving to work started running an advert for car safety. The sound effect was a loud blaring car horn and the sounds of screaming tires and a crash. The first, second, third time I heard it was instant jolt of panic and left me jittery. I switched stations after the third time.

I remember that one station that would advertise that they would play "uninterrupted music" during certain parts of the day. Only to then constantly interrupting it to tell us how they currenlty playing "uninterrupted music".

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Remember? That's like half the stations around. The other half don't do "uninterrupted" blocks

I just noticed the headphones in the picture are Audeze LCD 2, I think. Expensive AF. In case anyone wanted to know that.
