What Ever Happened To The Pop Song Fade-Out?

A music writer digs into the history of the musical fade-out, and why it has recently fallen out of favor.

Music and technology writer, Bill Weir told WPR’s "BETA" that the first instance of a musical fade-out may have happened around 1916 with a performance of "The Planets" by English composer, Gustav Holst.

Weir explained, "Of course they had to do this live. (Holst) had the choir singing in another room (off stage), and they would gradually close the door as they were singing, bringing the sound to an eventual silence."

I’m not alone in having experienced this. Alongside the wage gap and the emotional labour gap, the antics of softboys, f-ckboys, fading and ghosting constitute a pronounced communication gap. People of all genders are guilty of bad behaviour, but women are taught from childhood that they need to monitor and be responsible for other people’s feelings. Men have not been socialized in the same way. They are horrified when we tell them what we need. Regardless of whether the circumstances involve just hooking up or the potential for a relationship, men are ignoring what women are asking for. They don’t care if we get off, and they don’t care if our feelings get hurt.

How to create fade-in fade-out effect on text using CSS 3 Animation

Today I am going to write this tutorial to how you can give a fade-in and fade-out effect to any text using CSS 3 Animation. Its a very simple and easy to understand, basically I am using keyframe ( using @keyframes rule, you can create animations ). I have created a 7 characters fade-in and fade-out one by one and you can use this effect for your loading effect to show that some thing happening…

False alarm? Not so much.

Remember that time I thought the guy was fading out on me?  And then I thought it was just a false alarm because his dad was in the hospital?

Yeah.  Don't think it was a false alarm.

Lots of silence and not responding to my texts.  And he was on OkCupid yesterday.  (And yes, I made a friend of mine find his profile so we could check without him knowing I was looking at it.)

So.  Expected a bit of decency, a little "I'm not feeling this" or whatnot.  I'm actually a bit upset with myself for holding on so long, for being so hopeful.  But the thing is . . . there are positive take-aways from all this.  For one, I actually let myself become emotionally attached and vulnerable.  Which is a real rarity when it comes to my relationships with people.  I actually missed him when he wasn't around.  And I actually toyed around with the idea of having a family.  (Um, this is a big deal.  Having a family has never exactly been on my to-do list, other than my desire to possibly adopt a lot of kids . . . but that's kind of different.)  All of this just doesn't happen with me.  I truly thought this had some real potential.  And the fact that I'm actually pretty torn up about this right now?  (Dare I say it . . . am actually sad?)  I'm trying to look at it as a good thing.  You need to get torn up.  You need to get sad.  So many things in life have come so easily to me--I'm not used to what it feels like to really struggle.  And really get emotionally worked up about something.  I'm not used to being worked up over someone.  I'm also not used to being on this end of things when things end.  This whole experience?  Probably really good for me.

It's going to take a while to stop thinking about him.  To stop taking quick glances at my silenced phone throughout the work day, hoping for a new message from him.  And who knows--perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions.  (My sister is convinced I just need to calm down and it'll all work out.  But she is also in one of the most perfect relationships ever.)  But . . . I deserve better than the recent almost-silence that's been the norm as of late.

Also.  I will never fade out on a guy again.  Granted, I would only do it after the second date, for the most part.  But that'll never happen again.

And this is undoubtedly the most personal thing I've posted on here.  My silly little tumblr about online dating.  And it very well may be the most personal thing that will ever be posted.  (Perhaps?)  I think I'm going to be single for a while.  If there is any dating, it will be so incredibly casual.  But I'll still post things here.  About flirtatious escapades.  Terrible pick-up lines.  OkCupid messages.  Got to keep things entertaining, after all.

Pretty sure the guy I've been dating for a month is doing the fade-out.

I thought he was.  And then he got sick.  (Legit sick.  The flu.)  And then I brought him homemade soup.  And then I barely heard from him.  And then he stopped contacting me at all.  And now I'm pretty sure he's pulling a fade-out on me.

I'm so great at the fade-out.  Makes sense that it'd turn around and bite me.

(Maybe I'm just being crazy and paranoid.)  

(Maybe I shouldn't get emotionally invested until there's exclusivity.)
