@nickajames 1000%, i think lots of artists right now are trying to sell people a simulated experience of clubbing or raving, as opposed to immersing themselves in it. loads of buzzwords and viral visual stimulus, but no lived experience to give it substance
@mamacheaters so true! that y2k branding that they used to lean into doesn’t even carry the same weight anymore, it feels like too many western girl groups are working from the same viral aesthetics. i hope they find a new, individualised lane and stick to it seriously
