it's so funny how like... some music and the bands that make it are what i call edginess for neurotypicals. an example of a band like that is 21 pilots and especially that one line in fairly local that goes "this song will never be on the radio" that played on every top 40 station 5 times an hour when it came out. another example is billy eyelash's bad guy which is a song that i just cannot take seriously no matter how hard i tried to enjoy it. every time i hear the lyrics "my mommy likes to sing along with me / but she won't sing this song / if she read all the lyrics she'd pity the men i know" i just cannot stop myself from laughing because it's like... girl you're fucking 18yo!! your mommy is more likely to ground you for saying this kind of bullshit than anything else. also stop singing about seducing people's dads, i repeat YOU ARE 18!!! if a dad is ever interested in you you should be very very scared and concerned.

anyway, i don't really have a point to make in this post, i just wanted to talk about musicians and bands that think they're so dang alternative and edgy and like ohhh we're like the weird kids etc while somehow their songs are in the top 40 hits of the year and literally every normie listens to them because they also think they're so weird and badass for listening to "alt" music. it's pathetic.

#psalms #idk man honestly you can completely ignore this post #im stoned and i have thots and onions about things #i currently have a very annoying and bad song stuck in my head since i heard it yesterday at the dollar store #and i can't remember the name of it but it's some garbage by fifth harmony and camilla whatever her last name was #it's literally so fucking bad #and tbh listening to it at the store made me laugh because when she tries to hit those high notes right before the chorus #you can literally hear the way her range is too weak for them and it sounds like she's squealing #like she's not a bad singer overall i wouldn't say #her voice sounds just fine for the rest of the song where the pitch is something she can reach #but those few high notes... oh man....#you can really hear very well how her voice is just too weak to hit those and the way it loses it's musical timbre trying #it's hilarious #ugh i got off track #the post was really about the music the most boring and basic white girls listen to and think they're edgy for it #bestie if it's being played on the popular radio stations it's not alternative or edgy or emo or anything #it's just FUCKING BASIC #okay that's it bye
