15 & 19!!

15.  shuffle your playlist. pick your favorite lyric from the song the playlist shuffled to. “The sea waves are my evening gown And the sun on my head is my crown I made this Queendom on my own And all the mountains are my throne”

- Queendom (by Aurora)

not sure if singular “lyric” meant i was only supposed to pick one word but uhhh w/e this verse is great... your girl loves royal imagery & nature imagery so im all over this.. if i had to pick one single lyric i’d probably go with “crown”

19. an artist you think is overrated

hmm i dont really dislike most artists. if i dont enjoy their music i just move on w/ my life, i don’t like trashing them unless they’re actually bad people. if they’re not doing bad things then they’re just pursuing their passions and i don’t like the culture of “oh this artist is so mainstream and it annoys me” like maybe ppl just really like their music... that’s a good thing... so many people are prejudiced against like, harry styles for example because of his association w/ 1D. i dont listen to his music but he seems like a nice dude just trying to live his best life and it saddens me that so many people hear his name and instantly are like “ewww that boy band guy that little girls are obsessed with, he’s so overrated”

(“many people” are me--i was like that for pretty much the entirety of my teenage years before i realized that i was being dumb and hipster and that i was participating in a culture of shaming young people, especially girls, into feeling guilty or cringey for liking what they like)

long story short i dont think any artist is overrated. i think many are underrated, sure, but i don’t begrudge musicians for being successful. my only exception would be for genuine assholes like idk chris brown or smth but he’s not “overrated” really since public opinion of him is Not High hmfkgdjh
