Sure, it's all been a big conspiracy perpetrated by 97% of the world's Climate Scientists. But thanks to a plucky band of right-wing ideologists and oil companies, the truth will be exposed. Seeing as this is HN and not Facebook,

Indeed. Since the rise of ClearChannel in the '80's, the industry has been reducing the variety of popular music down to the chords, and repeats trite elements like the 'millennial whoop"*, as far as they can. Content fo
