Musical Politics

[taco truck 33,861]

I like most pop artists and am genuinely sooo tired of stan wars omg, pop culture used to be a fun thing and now it feels exhausting ... I don’t get why people think it matters if they dislike an artist, even if I dislike an artist the most I will say is their music is not for me! I was just thinking earlier how terrible it would be to be a celebrity and have one of the snark subreddits made about you and everyone is criticizing every minuscule thing that you do and making up their own version of you in their head. I feel like people always jump to the worst conclusions too when it comes to celebrities (specifically female pop stars).  People talk about how stars were treated in the 2000s but the cycle never stops and it feels like it’s gotten sooo much worse in the past 5 years.

no shade to sabrina or charli, i love them and i think they're both incredibly talented ladies, but i think it's incredibly funny that both of their fans seem to turn a blind eye towards the fact that their current success is incredibly manufactured. there is not a single organic thing about the success of brat and short n sweet. people keep pushing this narrative that they're fighters and survivors that finally made it and no babes… this is what happens when you have a huge record label backing you up. all of this success is the result of a huge money machine behind the scenes. this very same thing happened with camila cabello and dua lipa back then and trust me, their aftermath will be the same for charli and sabrina. so, to all stans out there, enjoy it while it lasts, because their time is almost up. soon the industry will find other people to be their flavor of the month and then we'll really see how well they perform without training wheels 

 

youre making no sense... wtf? charli has been making music and flopping for over 10 years. why did the label choose to manufacture her success in 2024? the money machine behind the scenes must not have been working very well for pretty much the entirety of her career. 

 

"the aftermath will be the same for charli" charli si already one of the most decorated and critically acclaimed artists of her generation. she's successful, she's versatile, she's not going anywhere

This is so crazy to me because it seems like you’re implying that labels shouldn’t prop artists up and help them succeed and give them resources and instead they should just drop artists if they aren’t an overnight organic success. Dua Lipa had one so called “flop” albums and you’re already acting like her career is over? Camila Cabello barely ever even took off. Labels are supposed to do what they did for Sabrina and Charli, and just because they have a label backing them does not make their success “inorganic”.

I wish Swifties would be more politically aware.

Isn’t it weird how Typical means - Well you know something Typical, But Atypical is the opposite. This was going through my mind yesterday at work & just thinking how language/grammar is so complicated…

Billie did deserve it tho

Spoiler

Honestly though Billie’s album was good.

”even though I didn’t care for her hypocrisy on variants of physical media & it’s environmental concern”

But Brat literally was everywhere,

The color green was taken over.

And it’s just a very strong record, I don’t  like throwing the term Iconic around until years have passed - But the Brat era literally is…

“unrelated, When searching Paris - I didn’t realize this picture was her!, Anyway the last statement from the above was to be heard in her voice”

EDIT:

Not in a shouting tone, Just normal speaking…

I wonder if Billie Eilish recognizes now that her relationship with Drake was creepy. It disappointed me that she defended him and I couldn't listen to her for the longest time after that.

 Someone needs to ban Kanye off insta and twitter because… 

Im tired of people blaming his behavior soley on his mental health. I do believe his mental health plays a role, but being bipolar isn’t an excuse for being a Nazi or expressing hateful views. It’s sad to see how desperate he’s become for attention. Can’t help but think how disappointed his mother would be.

“Your mental health is not your fault but it is your responsibility” 

 

it sucks that he has to suffer with mental illness but he has more than enough recourses to get treatment and not hurt others, he just chooses not to and that’s on him. I don’t feel bad for him at all
