I couldn't relate to 90 percent of Fine Line at all, which is part of why its not a massive favourite of mine.

With the Lorde thing, I just genuinely don't understand what people want from her. I've seen critiques like 'I wish she put more of what happened this year into her album', when she's a white millionaire from New Zealand. Wouldn't it have been weird for her to make an album about other people's struggle when it's not her life? If you can't relate to her when she's not high key depressed, that doesn't mean she has to pretend to be. It’s not my favourite album of all time but people having such weird reactions to it is just confusing me.

And then people having like, the least generous takes imaginable about her saying she struggles to watch the news etc. Coming from a website where people will have do not interact lists longer than the constitution of the united states, because they understand the concept of filtering what you are able to interact with and currently able to have the emotional bandwith to encounter. As if tumblr isn't constantly full of people reminding each other that you don't have to engage with content, constantly, that is effecting you negatively and that its ok to create positive media spaces in your life. Saying you don't watch the news is not the same as saying you have no concept of what's going on or don't care, I would say almost everyone on this website doesn't watch the news and doesn't read the New Yorker religiously, and still manages to know what's going on lol.
