[marina] i caught some scrubs whining about how Marina has sold out and her new albums don't have the same feeling as her old lyrics and i wanna slap the shit out of them i s2g
~maybe i just didn't get the point of her earlier albums idc don't tell me i didn't~ no you got the point you just clearly missed the point of the albums that followed
if you think her new music is about her ~being a happy sold out popstar~ and not about her TAKING BACK HER FUCKING AUTONOMY AND NOT LETTING PEOPLE ABUSE HER ANYMORE
you wanted her to stay in that same shitty place making shitty lyrics about being fucked over by men and not about her moving past that and calling out the lies in the world and how she deserves a fucking place in this life
i was gonna say like... wasn't Ike FOR EXAMPLE primadonna her biggest hit and she felt so disillusioned by it or something like that?? like she thought that shit wasnt her at all
and frankly, as someone who was abused by marina's music as in my ex used Marina's earlier music to try and paint me as her horrible ex boyfriend and repeatedly brought up how I was "just like who marina is singing to in this one"
like, it's an EXTREMELY complicated album with a lot of layers, it's a concept album, if you don't view it as a story you're missing the point, and these people clearly aren't
I am thoroughly convinced that too many people consume media without thinking critically about it as a work of art and as a work by and of the person who made it...
and then when she started putting out music that was, sometimes, pretty happy actually, critical reception was like idk :/// doesnt sound like alanis :///
i'm not doing it but i'm sure it'll be great
she made a couple songs that werent sad and people got upset they couldnt
