[mintconfetti 478]

Is it ok if I say The Weeknd and Olivia Rodrigo  I’ll try again with his new single on Friday though.

[LanaTheRay 1,453]

St Vincent, her music screams music for inter city white female millennials 

[Alison by Slowdive 26,144]

Taylor Swift - I feel like the music just isn't *substantial* enough and the lyricism is kinda... juvenile and a bit too methodical. Same goes for Olivia Rodrigo (and her perspective just isn't there yet - makes it v hard to relate to and empathise w her music)

[Venice Peach 54,292]

Every "alternative legend" other than Kate Bush. I mean I appreciate their writing and originality but I need some good melodies to back that up, not just weird sounds 

[Flowerbomb 65,593]

Singers:

Dua Lipa (just so bland and basic, I'm sorry!)

Sia (her voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard)

Ariana Grande (just too...loud? I feel like my ears need a rest after each song. Belting turns into shouting)

 

Albums:

Folklore by Taylor Swift (I suppose it's okay but it doesn't do anything for me)

Yeah, before Folklore and Evermore her lyrics were 100% melody. I remember when her hits included "Me-hee-heeee-he Oh-hoo-hooo-ho" and "So, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh" that literally sounds like a practice/warm up of the school choir. She has still great pop hits but I don't see the genius lyricism everyone's talking about. 

 

Olivia, on the other hand, is very good for teen pop standards but not enough good to be considered 'the' pop star. We may find her too childish to listen but I would see myself at 15 years old staning her music. The song Jealousy Jealousy is still reletable for me at least. I feel guilty for wishing she was around in mid 2010s because back then it was that awful EDM Chainsmokers/Major Lazer trend and 99% of pop songs were unlistenable for me. At least we got great alt bands in the early 2010s like AM, TNBHD, Cigarettes and more.

Sorry for my rant 

[The Stargirl Pinky 71,658]

The new Avril Lavigne stuff. Everything after The Best Damn Thing is hyper cringe. And that’s being generous….

And yet people were claiming those songs are full of hints that she's gay  Sometimes I wish I understood what people see in Taylor, but most of the times... nah, I'm good.

[Inferno Euphoria 6,493]

GFOTY, like her stuff is basically all just noises and this is coming from someone who stans Charli XCX and SOPHIE

Tongue, Boy Next Door and Poison are good tho but the rest is just headache material

Same here. Her music makes me cringe so heavily I just cant ignore it. Folklore is maybe one of the dullest things I've listened to and will never get the hype behind it (except from the sales-oriented industry dynamics that explain a lot). Enjoyed a few songs from Evermore though.

No? Maybe in Burning desire yes.

 

Lana sings. And there is just reverb in her older albums...

But her vocals are so impressive . Esp the higher notes.

 

Billie mumbles and its comprehensible mostly.
