Hate to say it but the overlap of "has a fanbase that heavily values their writing abilities" and "has a fanbase that deliberately detaches/miscontrues/borderline insults/fetishizes the singer's identity and inspiration from their artistry in an effort to pretend the music is closer to what the fans think they should be" venn diagram is not only just a straight up circle, but has taken over many of the same musicians and the fandoms overlap with each other to such an extreme extent that it sometimes becomes exhausting to consume any of their music as independent artists and then discuss them, let alone seeing how a lot of these artists have a "collective" fanbase that treats them all so bizzarely. Like do y'all not see the pattern with how you always feel some need to focus on certain "nicer" aspects of musicians' identities and entirely disregard others, or be all weird about it when you do acknowledge it? I'll provide examples, hopefully you'll see what I mean.

Tamino is an Egyptian and Lebanese man, at the same time he is Belgian, and that influences his art and it's so weird to just focus just on Persephone and his more "western" songs, or compare his nose to just a bunch of western white men. Hozier is Irish and inspired by Black American musicians who make political music and it's weird when you guys pretend he's just the fairy bog boy, which tbh you also likely wouldn't be saying if he was from Pennsylvania or Manchester or whatever, you're absolutely doing it with him because he is Irish, plenty of other artists write nature themes and don't get that weirdness put on them, you're doing it because he is Irish. Ethel Cain is a Southern American and writes from that very specific experience and has religious themes that influence her music and isn't just some "backwards" "hick" "redneck" (in a derogatory, insulting sense) girl that a lot of you clearly view "people like her" down south as. Måneskin has written in English since the beginning of their career, clearly takes inspiration from English and American musicians, and isn't entitled to write in Italian just because you think they should or because their native language ~fascinates~ you as an english speaker. Mitski often writes from a very VERY obvious perspective of being an Asian American woman and yet so many of you pretend that her songs about that experience are innately applicable to all of womanhood when they clearly aren't. They just aren't. They are about her experience as an ASIAN AMERICAN woman.

There are other artists y'all do this sort of shit to too (mainly Black ones!!) and it's absolutely annoying as shit to see that you can't just appreciate their identities for what they are and still need them to be closer in proximity to you and your identity or needs to "fulfill" something for you as an outsider, to the point of being delusional about the fact that this is all first and foremost their music and that it operates with their identities and they're all fantastic writers because on various levels they're being vulnerable about their identities and selves. That's not to say you can't pull your own meaning from the songs they write or whatever, but when discussing the artists themselves a lot of you are showing your asses with how you view "people like that" and how even though you're not being weird or bigoted in an obvious, deliberately mean sort of way, a lot of you still have shit to unpack and look at before you engage with them and their stuff. I mean Jesus christ even the most surface level understanding of erasure, fetishizing, and sterotypes can show what y'all are doing subconsciously, I'd hate to see how you talk about these people's identities when it's someone you don't see as both a product yet (parasocially) a friend, but is instead someone you hate.

VICTORIA DE ANGELIS for RADIO SRF 3 (2021)

[iveneverbeenmorestressedinmylife]

Επειδή έχω την εντύπωση ότι πολλοί από εμάς μαζευτήκαμε εκεί.

And in her leopard print coat, none the less!

Victoria de Angelis collaborates with Duran Duran for their Talking Heads cover: Psycho Killer. Having her do those vocals on the track is such a perfect idea, too. ♥️

[legit9thlunaticwarrior]

imma say this once and y’all don’t gotta agree with me but i must say it:

richie jerimovich is this song

[lakedo]

Oh no.

My stupid brain had an idea.

As a Måneskin fan, I was scrolling on Tumblr, finding gifs to spam to my friends and singing their songs at midnight, like a normal person.

As an AVA/AVM fan I was scrolling on Tumblr, finding images to spam to my friends and thinking about various AUs that I'll never post, at midnight, like a normal person.

Then I suddenly remembered about a conversation I had with my brother:

*flashback*

My brother: My favourite letter is 'D'.

Me: Why?

My brother: Because it's the fourth letter of the alphabet.

Me: Why do you like the fourth letter of the alphabet?

My brother: Because my favourite number is 4! *leaves*

*end flashback*

Meanwhile me: Four, four, four, everything is four! A square has got 4 corners. Chairs have 4 legs. Even Måneskin are 4! What else is four now? Oh right, the mercenaries of Alan Becker!

And then the scenario:

Rocket team from Alan Becker dressed as members of Måneskin band.

Vic? Is just watching, wondering why.
