I feel you!

Have you ever heard Numb Little Bug? Thats a pretty good song. Different artist though

You're right about that!

That's true. Mood when listening or going in without expectation can often play a huge role.

I'm asking you lol

I understand! Like what the mind wants to say but the situation couldn't allow?

That's true. I guess it's the same flavor but now in a modern take now. I guess for myself i wish there was a little more depth to the music surrounding her. Like I'm not the one to say that EDM is trash and you need actual instruments to make a difference. But I guess for me her beats and accompiment just feels rather bland. But again that's subjective.

You don't have to. I'm not asking you to convince me but merely see things from your view. Understand what you see as angst.

I think I more so want artists to strive to be more of themselves and go further. I definitely get what you mean by a doomer mindset. But im certainly one to change my views on an artist in a heartbeat if they bring something to the table that I feel is more expansive... whatever that means haha Great example is Carly Jepsen who went from being a bubble gum pop kind of artist to making albums more rooted in her own mindset or thoughts that were deeper and came off as more genuine. But honestly I don't think Billy won't produce something that I will love. I think she will find something a little more expansive that I will be able to latch onto much as Halsey did for me as well.

I guess my question is you say cagey angst but her music comes off as a whisper than a bang. Like, for me when I think angst i think loud, booming, like genuinely angry..I guess my question is what kind of angst would you say she portrays?

Except I'm genuinely asking. Like for me there's a difference between saying "I hate this artist and don't get them at all" and I'm not into this artist but I want to understand another's perspective about them. Like what do I not see that others do? What passions tie them to that artist.

Judging would be simply not asking. Would be saying "I don't get it keep it away." Thats truly judging

But I should pursue getting it. It's obviously something people are passionate about. So if I can share even a glimpse of that passion, them I want to. Because otherwise we just close others out purely based on music tastes.

Haha you're not wrong about that!

I don't but it's nice to hear the other side of the coin. Hence why I put this down as a discussion. We shouldn't feel like we can't understand something, state it from our point of view, and listen to how others feel.
