So I finally sat down and listened to this after seeing the insane amount of hate it got from Yas Forums...

let me rephrase that more concisely for you OP
it's fucking trash

It's what Lorde and Lana sound like to people that don't like either

>cut All the Good Girls Go to Hell, Wish You Were Gay, 8, and I Love You
>add When I Was Older
Album immediately goes from a 4/10 to an 8/10.

I hate it
I hate her
I hate her fans

I listened to "bad guy" last night, having heard a few seconds of it by accident a few weeks ago and thinking it sounded okay. Up until then, I'd been successfully avoiding her.

"bad guy" is the most unremarkable load of shit imaginable. I can't understand how they managed to sell her to people. The bassline on the chorus has a Latin change in it which kills the momentum, wilfully shit synths are, in practice, indistinguishable for unintentionally shit ones, and her vocal style is so obviously going for loli appeal that her baggy layers image is a very canny move - you want your male audience to have plausible deniability.

This doesn't get an insane amount of hate though, Yas Forums is fapping over bully eyelash daily
Grimes is an artist that gets too much hate here

indistinguishable *from

it's made by a zoomer for zoomers
that honestly is all there is to it

I hate the hype around her moreso than I hate her.

>"billie is deconstructing the very essence of pop music"
>"billie is upstaging the entire pop establishment"
>"billie is bringing the corporate bosses of the music industry to their knees"
>"billie is so wise beyond her years, she actually cares about the state of humanity unlike 99% of other pop stars"
If this doesn't scream "revolution for sale", I don't know what does. Herbert Marcuse would have a field day going after this girl if he were still alive.

See that's the thing, I'm OP and I'm 20 (a zoomer) and I what baffles me the most is most of the praise seems to come from boomers like Fantano, Scaruffi, Thom Yorke, hell even fucking Michael Gira. That's what I don't get.
