i thought you didn't like harry styles anymore? or do you? i feel like i've lost any idea of what your feelings on him are, and would like to hear them and be in the loop
my feelings about him are kind of complex but i will tryyyy to summarize them in a way that makes sense
i will always love hs1 and fine line, and always have so much love and nostalgia for the 11 or so years i spent being a super fan, but around the time he released harry's house (which i didnt like even one single song on), i began to evaluate how i saw harry styles vs harry styles the brand & public persona. i think its because i wasnt really following his tour or listening to his music, so i didnt have those fan blinders up where youre just eating up everything he does. the public persona, the quirky tpwk guy is the one i adored but i felt really uncomfortable about the one underneath who was comfortable being part of breaking up a marriage where young children were involved (esp as a child of divorce himself), and the one whose closest friends include ppl like james corden who's come under fire for berating food service employees and valets, and kendall jenner who, well, that's self explanatory. something about how the company you keep says a lot ab you. every time he's been asked to address something, like being anti-palestine or his bizarre gay sex comments around the my policemen promo, he just stays silent and hopes it blows over. he just seems like kind of a dick and it clashes so much w/ his manufactured image of being the nicest guy ever and it weirded me out. and this isn't a criticism of how celebs present themselves publicly vs how they are really, i know that more often than not we are getting a manufactured version of them, i think it was just really.. weird to actually realize how fake the harry styles i liked actually was?
there's lesser factors that influenced me just being not that into him anymore like around the time of the harry's house drop, i got my heart very broken by somebody that like.. harry styles was one of our shared things. i was also getting into more musicians that i just felt more connected to at the same time i was feeling disinterested in him. and i was kind of getting frustrated with him constantly being praised for being, frankly, a very half-baked musician. he's a terrible lyricist but he has such a gorgeous voice that he rarely uses to it's full potential. i dont hate him but i dont love him.. he's just some guy to me tbh, i dont keep up w/ him at all anymore and i only listen to his music when his first two songs come up on my spotify shuffle
