let's not kid ourselves....more than ever in music people only want to support what they see in the mirror. it's still a fairly new phenomenon even though it picked up full steam in the years following Kurt Cobain's demise. his "sexy is bad" politic was the PURR-fect excuse for the scrunchie to have a heyday. but the internet has come along to flash the KMart blue light special upon it just in case anyone did not notice. the thing that stamps home the truth of that more than anything else is that you NEVER hear about it. it could not be more obvious yet no one dares to mention it because the bulk of paying customers are drowning in that quicksand & bringing it up will wrap their panties in a bunch quicker than a YouTube video of someone kicking baby seals. NO ONE writes about it while waistlines conveniently keep expanding & the "like" button was created to make the worthless nobody feel special for something they usually deserve no praise for a.k.a. NOT A COINCIDENCE a.k.a. AGENDA IN PLAY....and if the music "journalists" are going to deliberately sidestep the negative effect that's having on music then i'll run with the baton. so......i have not seen the average milieu freak out (as in want to quickly reduce like a little girl having a tantrum while plugging her ears & squealing "mary had a little lamb" to drown out reality) with I AM THREATENED stamped on their foreheads like they're doing with Lana Del Rey since Like A Virgin-era Madonna. it's been a LONG time. it's great. FINALLY the embodiment of an actual star not a person deliberately chosen because underneath the artifice they KNOW that person is JUST like them. they can't do that with this chick. this is that much-needed moment where the audience that matters (a.k.a. the ones that spit on rather than praise the fat ballerinas because segregation is the purest form of holy in this form) will have just a short golden flash that does not happen very often before it is ruined by the termites gnawing their way through the baseboards.
