The problem is that these teens want to watch tougher, mature stories like prestige TV stuff or the movies Variety cited and then complain that there's sex on it. If they are not comfortable watching sex they should stick to basic mainstream stuff, which became completely aseptic after the Superbowl tit incident. Not everything has to be for everyone.

This is the common advice, but it's also resulted in many of these hobby based events being overrun by people who are primarily there looking to find a date. It can be a weird dynamic.
My suggestion is get a hobby that you explicitly are interested in, but don't go in with an expectation that you'll find someone, or make that your primary goal.

For many of us I don't think this is true
And even for those with better intentions, the low stakes interaction will become high stakes as attraction and expectations increase. When rejection almost inevitably happens at some point, bringing feelings of innability and jealousy, it will be tougher to deal, specially for the less experienced following this path.
In this sense hookup culture can relieve such pressure and allows for decoupling the sexual needs, and romantic ones even - personal note: I think it's weird how people online talk as if it's mandatory to mistreat/abandon the people you hook up with. I build a small but nice network of "friends with benefits" which for me are simply friends who enjoy a specific activity. Like, exactly the inverse of what everyone is recomending and it worked for me.

The conclusion from the music analysis is off because of changes in media consumption and chart calculations. When a top (or even a mid) act drops an album (so, every week), the entire album is listened on the apps by many people and it is not unusual to have all songs in the top 100 that week.

This is a fake story.

I expect such fake stories on the front page of reddit, not HN.
I do not get the link between the quote and the accusation

> For example, we can compare variance in song energy and danceability for U2, ABBA, and Katy Perry, then rank these artists against each other. According to this subset of variables, ABBA's discography offers greater sonic variety than U2's or Katy Perry's.
Stopped reading here
I seriously doubt ABBA, who stuck with the Disco sound through most of their careers, has more "sonic variety" than Katy Perry's genre salad albuns like 'Prism'.
Fleetwood Mac changed their sound a couple of times and they are at the bottom of the ranking as well. Just shows how hard is to measure stuff like this

These post-grunge bands of early 2000 presented a powerful combination of witless lyrics with the cheesiest riffs and hooks a guitar can produce. Nickelback is far from the worst of those, but they were the most popular.
The rock guys in my HS lab would sit at the only PCs with speakers and blast it loud to everyone else's misery. They did the same with Evanescence/Nightwish, bands for which I developed gratitude from sparing me of those guys same deep raspy voice.
After all the work I had sketching a penis I got hit with the paywall without even seeing a single result
