Guest Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I agree that it is a generic song, but why is that such a bad thing when it comes to music? Why do artists always have to put out songs that are not generic or put something out that is something new and different than anything on the current music landscape? Songs can be generic and still be good. The two are not mutually exclusive, and yet whenever a song is criticized as being generic, it carries heavy implications of something that suggests that it is therefore a bad song.

I think it’s because “generic” has a “lazy” connotation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef666 4,511 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The hate in this thread confuses me. This is the best song of 2023 so far to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ode 1,356 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 At this point, it's clear that Pitchfork has decided Miley Cyrus is contrary to the Pitchfork brand and will NEVER get a good score/review from them. Pitchfork is run by a bunch of very stale, old, conservative men who are very much invested in maintaining Pitchfork's brand as the "High brow" connoisseur of "real music," and the easiest way to do that while also appearing to promote more diverse artists (women, POC) is to single out easy targets like Miley as the opposite of that supposed "real" music and quality that Pitchfork champions… But like, Miley is an easy target because of shít she did during the Bangerz era — TEN YEARS AGO. For Pitchfork to continue dogging her with low scores is just them continuing to need an easy target to put on blast and help differentiate Pitchfork's taste from "Miley Cyrus-level" music. Spoiler The 6.4/10 they gave to Plastic Hearts is unforgiveable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisguyN 616 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Well, Pitchfork review aged like milk. Now that the song is slaying left and right, industry critics are onboard, along with many members here who trashed the song till they saw the numbers it pulled.
