    My heart goes out to all the poser cigs who are anxiously waiting for Pitchfork and Mr. Potato Head to tell them if they should like Mayhem or not.

    People on twitter calling the album “generic” like they really skipped Chromatica era right? Worms luv, you got worms.
     
    Mayhem is risky, it has guts and thats the fuckin Gaga we all know and used to love. She didnt deliver something risky like this for ages

    This album made me feel so happy.
     
    The way that I was the opposite of most people on here. Lol When I heard the singles Abracadabra and Disease I was not excited for the album. But I'm so glad it turned out to be SO GOOD.
     
    I want to get up and dance and have a fun. lol
     
    After a day of listening I went ahead and deleted Abra and Killah. Because the album is perfect otherwise.

    Pop is BACK. None of this no bridge, no second verse, 2 minute streaming pandering crap. Chappell said let me show you how it's done.

    No one’s intelligence should be insulted by pretending the negativity surrounding Camila is merely that her new lead single and sound isn’t being received well. It’s everything she does and it’s reaching look at that bitch eating those crackers like she owns the place territory.
     
    It's true that a lot of it is the belief that her revamped sound and look is inauthentic, a perfectly fair criticism if that’s how you perceive it. I’ve never been a fan of her music and really dislike the way she blatantly ripped off the excellent art design for Caroline Polachek’s Pang. Given her notable plagiarism and lack of artistic identity, the collective eye rolling from Charli’s fanbase is understandable.
     
    But the crux of the overwhelming negativity is the claim that she’s a racist due to her past use of the n word and the racist edgelord memes she reblogged as a teenager. Apparently she publicly apologised for this and completed a “racial healing course.”
     
    What I find interesting is the hypocrisy I’ve observed among pop music fans. Let’s take Slayyyter as an example, a similar case where it was discovered her teenage self had used racial slurs on Twitter. She apologised, donated to black trans charities, and acknowledged that she’s matured a great deal in the years since her edgelord behaviour. Camila has shared similar sentiments. One is afforded the grace to learn and grow, while the other is forever defined by her teenage self. In Twitter, Reddit, and forum posts about Slayyyter’s new projects, you’d be hard pressed to find any mention of her past racism. Whereas Camila’s are bursting at the seams with reminders. A more extreme example is Azealia Banks. She's made (and continues to make) so many racist, homophobic, transphobic comments. Some truly heinous things, but a good number of these same people hand wave it away and continue to support her anyway.
     
    I see a lot of Slayyyter fans ruthlessly going after Camila for her past behaviour — the brass balls on them to be so confident is incredible. The reality is we have no way of knowing if either of them are truly sorry for their past racism or if they’re just sorry because they were caught. Slayyyter’s fanbase believes her apology was sincere because they need to believe it was sincere if they want to continue enjoying her projects and supporting her publicly. You could argue that Slayyyter’s apology is presumed sincere because she donated to black charities, but do you actually believe that would make a difference if Camila did the same? I honestly don’t think it would. Past racism aside, Camila is seen as generally unlikable while Slayyyter is seen as pretty charming. It’s a lot easier to write someone off if you never liked them to begin with.
     
    But you can't have it both ways -- either change and growth are possible or they're not. The idea that your character should be forever defined by the behaviour of your teenage self is a frightening notion, but if you genuinely believe that it should be if the context of that behaviour is racism, then it should apply to everyone, including the people you’re a fan of.

    Lol, that’s fair but I’m actually defending her. People can think she’s annoying or not fuck with her music but there’s blatant hypocrisy when it comes to who is granted the grace to learn and grow from their teenage mistakes.

    I have no idea how recent it is but I just saw on Twitter that Anne Hathaway was stanning Get Free (aka the greatest song of all time) during a press interview. Taste! I need Anne to star as a disillusioned drifter trying to find solace in the great open country road for one of Lasso's music videos.

    The "you gon' jump if A. G. made it" part reminds me so much of another song but I can't place it. Anyway, obsessed.

    Is this the part where I'm supposed to pretend the album cover is horrible because she's become a pop punching bag as of late?
