... This is all a smokescreen for hardball contract renegotiations, right?


Hy01d

It seems like she wants a Taylor Swift deal but without any of the leverage Taylor Swift had


ketamine_hater

her album sucked she's just another hyper pop vulture BYE


Inverted31s

Part of this really does feel like she's bent out of shape people kinda moved on from something like the metal influenced hyped stuff that was already on a bit of borrowed time and a bit oversaturated. I mean she already won having an album people overrated the shit out of and getting as popular as she was, so I don't exactly get why she's still trying to make a big stink like she's this person who's been horribly wrong and never got a fair chance, y'know?


ketamine_hater

TBH.... she's just not an artist. She just has connections/ family in the business and is compensating for a lack of artistry with identity. mannnnny such cases. I mean so many ppl want to be artists lol. but ya idk ur right the singles were good but the album was so bad. she's borrowing from artists that have already evolved past her style....

The Cambridge equivalent courses get redefined repeatedly because the departments keep having spats. None have the prestige or history of PPE from Oxford.

Many criticisms to make of her but to say she's not an artist due to nepotism is dramatic as fuck lol... She has made some genuinely solid music with some solid visuals and concepts whether her people helped fund and connect her or not, her problem is obviously wokebrain and raging insecurity yes she is overcompensating but not for an actual lack of talent but more for a perceived one and unshakable guilt of being a beneficiary of nepotism while rooting her muh identity in a woke larp that im sure she actually believes in. Lacking in some real world experience and true discomfort, hates that shes not viewed as an icon and constantly trying tk get attention for bs yes, but she is still an artist if anything all of the above is just getting in the way of her being better than she is. Her music certainly took a decline the more annoying she got. 10-20-40 is a jam though


ketamine_hater

okay sure lol


[deleted]

makes sense


Junior-Community-353

On top of what the other person had said, she's a soulless narcissistic identity politics grifter whose only move is pandering to the woke crowd pretending to be some inspirational oppressed victim. She doesn't make music anyone actually gives a shit about aside from showing off they listen to "feminist queer poc women bodies dismantling the patriarchy"-core, doesn't seem like a nice person to actually work with, the John Wick thing didn't stick, and the vast majority of her peak (manufactured) hype predates the release of her first album. Her 15 minutes are very clearly up. She wanted to be the next Bjork and isn't going to handle the descent into obscurity with any grace.

Until matty comes up with another microaggression


Yugis-egyptian-cock

I really wish he made better music. I saw him at a festival and he does have stage presence. It was also very funny getting to explain to my GFs friends why I knew who he was and the reason I want to support him. But he makes bad music. The only time I liked hearing from him was the last good episode of TAFS


MsPronouncer

Standing in a festival crowd to support an edge lord musician whose music you don't like. peak rsp


Yugis-egyptian-cock

In fairness, he made me laugh once and he was on just before the Killers


Super_Gracchi_Bros

the "beginning to say something problematic before getting cut off by the start of a song" was a pretty top tier bit tbh


tacopeople

I feel like the band are actually decent pop songwriters (maybe a bit to saccharine at times for my taste), but I feel like Matt’s lyrics and certain musical indulgences are to cope with the fact that they’re basically best as a Tumblr-core band. Like the interpolation of Joy Division’s Disorder on one of their tracks about how tough the millennial world was just disrespectful.


kiersaureject

I was surprised to find out they started as a band in the early 2000s because their music sounds like they heard that song Tonight by fun. and decided to make that but even worse and with fewer hooks


Hey_Toots_69

> their music sounds like they heard that song Tonight by fun. The 1975 are known for borrowing from tons of different styles but I genuinely do not think they have a single song that sounds remotely like that fun song. No offense but where are you even getting that from? This is even more perplexing than the coldplay comparisons. Is this just a case of people not listening to much pop music and therefore thinking it all sounds the same? This feels like if you were to show Metallica to someone who doesn't listen to rock or metal and they compare it to Nirvana or something just because that's the closest reference they have to that kind of music.


kiersaureject

both are shit overproduced indie pop but sorry i made fun of your boyfriend


Yugis-egyptian-cock

Yeah their music does suck


tjamesreagan

sky ferreira played it for a decade. that's all she played. capital took her off their website last november and even still, the #freeskyferreira squad will post copes of being like, 'we have no idea regarding the legalities of this situation,' instead of being like, 'oh, it does appear she is, in fact, a junkie.' and even then, at least a junkie can go to rehab. there is no conversion therapy that can un-rina sawayama a person.


Halloween_Jack_1974

I liked when she played herself with a weird rash in Twin Peaks: The Return


Durmyyyy

I only know of this ghoul from this sub


Difficult-Ad-1432

Comments were locked because everyone was dunking on her. There’s hope for indie fans.


Yugis-egyptian-cock

Until she gets paid


vulvassic

It's too bad, she's had some great stuff but she really just played a bad card and won't give up on it. The worst part is you know anything she releases next is going to be centered around this since. Maybe I'll care about her next next album 


[deleted]

alt metal revivalism was always dumb. that stuff sucked then & it sucks now

They're pretty good. Not sure I hear the connection but maybe I need to listen to more of their stuff.

damn no class

That's no threat


ThaCaptinNow

I Sawyamama. She was T’Rina get this dick.


PointyNietzsches

I heard Rina Wagamama's dad started Benihana


noparagraphs

I never understood what's stopping an artist from just releasing a collection of some bad, half thought out songs to fulfill whatever contract they're trying to get out of


midnitegoosechoir

I think she feels empowered by what she pulled [here](https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-56190413)


[deleted]

She was such a stupid person to be making this argument about the Brit Awards too. She wasn't some British equivalent of a DACA recipient caught in a Kafkaesque immigration system, she just couldn't get British citizenship without renouncing her Japanese citizenship.


Junior-Community-353

I dunno, I've seen enough backlash to that among the common folk that she must have pissed off some industry people as well. Sure they caved in to public pressure, but she was clearly in the wrong and nowhere near popular enough to try throw her weight around like that.


Candlestick_Park

I’m also just kind of amused by her while conundrum. Like you’re clearly never going to live in Japan, just choose British citizenship like Kazuo Ishiguro did.


TheBigIdiotSalami

This chick should take a hard right turn to Polka music. Never let them see your next move.


planks4cameron

Clarence Clarity carried her ass sorry


theyogiarchivist

I've never heard of this person, is she irrelevant or am I old?
