Los Ageless
"Los Ageless" is a song by the American musician St. Vincent. It was released on September 6, 2017, through Loma Vista as the second single from her fifth studio album, ''Masseduction''. Composition "Los Ageless" is a dance-rock, new wave, and electropop song driven by, "the flat thwack of electronic drums and a squirting synth-bass sound" while Clark "slathers distorted guitar lines on top of this foundation." ''Stereogum'''s Tom Breihan described the song is nothing like Clark has ever done before, further stating, "the title might make the song seem like a companion piece, but it's actually a pulsing, synthetic, slightly funky piece of new wave." Andrew Trendell of ''NME'' stated that, "'Los Ageless' sfuelled by a rush of industrial electro beats and fuzzy guitar," while seeing Clark "further blurring the boundaries of genre as the stomp of the track builds towards an almighty and feral climax."

Sarcasm
Sarcasm is the caustic use of words, often in a humorous way, to mock someone or something. Sarcasm may employ ambivalence, although it is not necessarily ironic. Most noticeable in spoken word, sarcasm is mainly distinguished by the inflection with which it is spoken or, with an undercurrent of irony, by the extreme disproportion of the comment to the situation, and is largely context-dependent. Etymology The word comes from the Greek σαρκασμός (''sarkasmós'') which is taken from σαρκάζειν (''sarkázein'') meaning "to tear flesh, bite the lip in rage, sneer".Oxford English Dictionary It is first recorded in English in 1579, in an annotation to ''The Shepheardes Calender'' by Edmund Spenser: However, the word ''sarcastic'', meaning "Characterized by or involving sarcasm; given to the use of sarcasm; bitterly cutting or caustic", doesn't appear until 1695. Usage In its entry on irony, Dictionary.com describes sarcasm thus: In sarcasm, ridicule or moc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
