How can this “song” still get worse and worse with each listen?? Like it’s so seriously bad it rots my brain!! Those saying it’s not as bad as OJ or WOB are out of their minds! Of course those K-12 are not great whatsoever, everything in K-12 is a lyrical travesty but at least sonically it can be somehow palatable… but this… is on another whole level 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like he is actively trying to. It reads extremely weird. And then- factor in all the complacency in the rest of the song, and it just reads as someone staying silent about it. Even as far as not caring about it. I mean that’s literally said in the hook. Weird ass song. Not welcome in my house! God bless 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least Orange Juice has a decent beat, if it had a completely different lyrical content I'd bop to that shit. While WOTB enjoy 2 Quote what if the cockroaches have psychedelic pussy?

Veinsineon 76,349 Posted March 8, 2023 This is the last thing I will say about K-12…. While Cry Baby exists as this fantastical concept that blended themes of love, trauma, neglect, and much more with whimsical imagery, outlandish storytelling, and the blatant juxtaposition between them … K-12 is sort of like the fizzle out of that style. It’s a little too on-the-nose throughout its entirety. Cry Baby worked because it was this character that had no definite age, no links to a realistic world. It was an actual concept. K-12 felt like an ad campaign. The writing is lazy, of course we all know by now. And my biggest problem with the record is that no longer is this character in a realm of possibility , they are in a rudimentary spin-off location with a singular (but not even really coordinated ) mission. Which I guess is to “Experience school?? In this place??” Which I mean yeah, sure. World-building. I’m all for it. But the “world” that’s built around this record is just extremely reliant on current events and comes off as virtue signaling 75% of the time. Not only that, but even a conceptual artist should know what subject matter is to be off limits. Especially when the title of your record is quite literally k-12. There’s not really an awareness to this record. It’s more like “shock value tale telling” it has nothing to do with Cry Baby 1/2 the time, and the entire project’s personality got lost in the making of a 2 hour , 3 million dollar music video. flame me, grill me, roast me, idc. I cannot actually enjoy this project the way it was put out into the world. And I have serious concern for those who do. Actually I don’t. Idc. But I just wanted to have my opinion out here 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I just wanted to have my opinion out here U are right… I don’t have a problem with the “school” theme, I think it works well… but the way she executed it makes me think it had wasted potential! Like she tried to push some narratives there that didn’t make any sense… the “money” thing, the “fat ass” thing, all the “drugging students”, all of the on nose references to Donald Trump, …. If she had sticked to the theme and the crybaby style storytelling it could have been great but OMG it’s bad 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

champainproblms 1,437 Posted March 8, 2023 while we're at it, can we talk about how the whole portion of the film on orange juice is extremely surface level and kinda reads like those awereness movies made by lifetime? melnie discovers that fleur has bulimia. she sings about how bulimia is bad and makes a super shallow remark that ed'd people have heard a million times: "your body is perfect the way it is! i wish u could see yourself the way i see you" and MAGICALLY the girl is cured from her bulimia. it's lazy and sends the message that eds are simple when in reality it's much more nuanced and complicated 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
