i know this wasn’t aimed at me, but i’m 20 and a singer myself and i HATE tiktok and i have not met a single person it has not RUINED. attention span wise, physically with their intellect, just so many things. i am watching people around me just turn braindead and they are all avidly obsessed with tiktok, it is insane.. i used it for a couple of weeks and i will not touch it at all because you literally spend so so long on there.
not only just that but it completely destroys the music industry, everyone’s trying to make songs that ‘trend’ and are like 2:45-3:20 min songs that generally have no substance but sound cool in an edit etc.. my friends only like the songs because it’s the ‘tiktok version’.. it is literally killing my people :/
and i’ll be real, the people who are very into tiktok do not have the attention span to listen to a&w without getting bored (first hand experience of people i have spoken to) and something like fingertips, people WILL NOT get it because they will clock out and they just don’t appreciate proper music anymore unless it’s short and ‘boppy’ - i love a song with a pulse but dear lord even if i don’t ‘love’ fingertips i can still appreciate it as a singer-songwriter myself, and from what i’ve read from the spoilers it is very very confessional and personal and even if it doesn’t have that much of a melody it still has a storytelling aspect i suppose.
more on topic: i had a breakdown like an hour ago and i was very tempted to listen to the leak to cheer myself up, but i don’t want to taint my first listen with tagged shit and it also not being all leaked all together
