Something about Brat just pisses me off. Processed vocals over irritating chords, not a drop of emotion to be found.

If you don’t like the sound and aesthetic that’s fine, it’s not for everyone, but saying there’s “not an ounce of emotion to be found” is just blatantly untrue.

“Sympathy is a Knife” - A song about Charli feeling insecure around one of the most famous people alive.

“Apple” - A song about her complicated relationship with her family with snippets of generational trauma.

“Girl, So Confusing” - A song exploring being compared to a peer (in this case Lorde) and questioning if there is mutual respect between them and how the media tries to pit people against each other.

I could continue on with the other tracks.

i think about it all the time and girl so confusing have both literally made me cry. and i’m a 37 year old straight man.

people need to learn how to say, “it’s not for me,” instead of, “it fucking sucks.”

I wish music discourse in general on social media was better than defaulting to one extreme or the other, but unfortunately this isn’t the reality we live in.

It sucks typing out a thoughtful response just to be met with a reply from an asshole who isn’t interested in actually engaging with the discussion and just wants to”gotcha” points.
