the slop tap is back on, lets get a big open embarrassing thread going

What’s the most cringe-inducing, not discussed in irl circles shit that you actually think “No, I actually love this”?

For me, it’s the Tuvan Republic National Anthem. This shit goes incredibly hard, but loving it does make me feel like a child who blasts the soviet anthem out of a bluetooth speaker in school to be annoying.

I’ve never even played EU4, this just rocks enough to show up in my youtube suggestions.

What’s your secret shame of enjoyment?

      I blame Nina/Mata. It’s not the kind of song I’d normally listen to but I can’t help but feel warmly about it by association.

      But at least we got an Enna cover out of it! I could listen to her sing just about anything. (also that Fauna cover](https://youtube.com/watch?v=0gD3nvk_h5M) where she realizes in real time that it’s a song about cheating lmao)

      I guess that reveals my own probably-most-dweeb thing: VTubers. Not that I’m particularly secretive about it on here (although I usually use spoiler tags in the General Megathread to protect the innocent as well as give myself a false sense of privacy), but while my IRL friends know about it it’s not something I can actually talk about with them. Idk, I think it’s fun for people to become anime and have neat outfits and stuff, and while they’re not much different from normal streamers for the most part, there are some VTuber-specific conventions that I like, particularly the emphasis on music and visual art. And while the corpo VTubers are under some restrictions that are super annoying, one thing I actually like is that they don’t/can’t do react content; I get the appeal, but it’s just not for me, and I find a lot of streamers lean way too heavily on it.
