not really feeling the discourse around olivia rodrigo, a literal teenager. not really appreciating the debates on whether she’s white passing (hint: if you’re debating it, she isn’t). not really appreciating the flattening and whitewashing of her songs into universal sad girl tunes (ala mitski) when there are tracks where she’s clearly singing about being a woc whose white bf left her for a white girl e.g. “Cause I thought you’d like me more /If I looked like the other prom queens / I know that you loved before.” not feeling the way ppl keep claiming she stole from white artists because ppl don’t know most pop/poppunk songs have the same basic chord progression. and absolutely despising comparisons to taylor sw*ft, a grown white woman. miss rodrigo is only 18. 18!! she’s clearly a vulnerable talented VERY young woman finding her way. she needs protection and support, not to be picked apart by grown people for clout!

taylor, olivia, lorde, and halsey really said don’t worry we’ll make sure 2021 doesn’t suck
