Fitting since she makes music for people that are exactly like that.

People that think they’re wild and crazy but are actually the most mild and middle class white people you’ve ever met.

Okay completely irrelevant but I feel like infodumping and it’s crazy how THIRTY TOUSDAND PEOPLE lived in a city just over HALF of her property size. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City

Having been to Kowloon 20 years ago, It sure seemed like every 5.5 acres housed way more than 30k people.

Just to be clear, the photo above is of her childhood home in Wyomissing, PA, and the property is definitely much smaller than Kowloon Walled City. I’m guessing you’re talking about a different property?

No argument that she’s from the wealth & privilege class

But you don’t become the biggest pop star ever with a completely healthy upbringing, either, right?

…why not? Pop isn’t exactly a reaction like metal, punk or hyperpop, it’s just… The default genre of music she could have made?

What unhealthy part of any upbringing would compel someone to make pop?

Anyone that driven was probably abused mentally to some degree at the very least… I know you think you’re being “funny” because it’s just “pop music”. Like being pop means it isn’t a horrible cut throat industry that regularly chews up and destroys child stars …

Still one of the most metal lyrics ever.

“I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

How much more detached and psychotic can you get? Even with goregrind, the motive is clear, albeit deranged. This is just, fuck it, I just want this person dead just to see them die.

Hold the phone… You’re telling me that it’s possible that Bob Marley also shot the deputy? Wait… Did he even shoot the sheriff? And if so, how can we be sure that it was in self defense?! Oh man, my whole world is upside-down now.

That song was initially “Levittown,” but he changed it to make the message appear to a wider audience. And Billy Joel sings about growing up on Long Island all the time! You can still meet him at his Scenes Italian Restaurant if you know the right neighborhood.
