Jesus.... We as a society really are consumed by what social media tells us is "hot" and "good"
She's wildly overrated but that doesn't stop her schtick from being pushed to the front of social awareness perpetually due to hype and hivemind thinking.
She will be forgotten in a few years if she doesn't burn out herself due to overexposure.
Don't get me wrong, she IS talented but this feels more like a form of stunt casting
Correct. If you don't like "popular thing", it's proof you're an independent thinker. All the rest of us have been hypnotized into thinking we like her sound. Baa! Baa! We're sheep!
I know my reaction is strong but what is your point even? 99% of all artists are forgotten after a few years, even the really good ones. Being popular isn't some measure of quality and that works both ways. And disliking things because they're hot on social media is just as bad as liking things because they're hot on social media.
It's okay to not like her but don't blame society, social media and hivemind thinking for other people liking her.
Listening to songs like "everything i wanted" and "when the party's over" ("bury a friend" too even), I can hear a Bond song in that style and it being pretty dope, combining that melancholic sound with a modern beat fitting some cool visuals during the opening credits scene.
