@20569 Lyrical Genius Really, it seems like they are keeping up with the whole lets make being depressed glamorous thing still if you ask me.

KEEP AN OPEN MIND.  Just because they sing about depression and self-deprecation and that people tend to (over)hyped their songs doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re glamorizing it. To be honest, “to glamourize” should be used with caution. Recently, it’s being used by critics and people who love to complain about little things. It’s a easy-to-claim argument towards artists who incorporate such themes in their music in order to appeal to the masses, to gain instant connection especially thru lyrics. Such thing doesn’t necessarily mean that they glamorize or romanticize these bad things. Depression is a real thing. For IFH, it is something that must be addressed using their own means, music. IFH uses music to fight against it. You seem to forgot that they have released self-empowering songs before, like “Under the Knife” and “Fight”. That’s IFH were SUPPOSED TO BE. 

@20578: I’m not the original confessor you are responding to but I don’t understand how you think they are glamorizing mental illness? I always felt that their lyrics were simply showing the ugly side of mental illness and I personally can relate to their lyrics. I feel like many of their lyrics take what is going through my mind a lot of the time and put my thoughts and feelings into words. It’s really hard for me to express how I feel sometimes, especially recently because I went through a really bad depression the first half of the year, and their songs basically translated my feelings.
