me in hell: it sucks that mitski is grouped with artists like cavetown and ricky montgomery all because they’re all people on tiktok. like say what you want about all of them but they all make such different music. tiktok should be a social media app not a music genre. it also puts a bad taste in my mouth when people lump her in other female musicians like lana del rey and lorde for the same reason. we claim we don’t compare women or pit them against one another until they say or do something that doesn’t fit socital ideals of what women should be. and while some of her fans are definitely weird i feel like the polarizing reaction towards her fanbase is largely rooted in the fact that it’s predomiantly made up of teenage girls. like not to bring up a touchy subject but nirvana fans have been saying that courtney killed kurt with barely any evidence for YEARS and it hasn’t gotten nearly the same amount of pushback in the nearly three decades since he passed away that mitski’s fanbase has gotten in the three years since she went viral on tiktok for doing annoying teenager things

When you’re a teenager, everything is dramatic... It’s the end of the world every day. My music is the result of not being that teenager anymore but still being sad. The world goes on, and you’re not important.
"There's a lesser sense of, I'm the protagonist, this is a great tragedy. It's more, My sadness is living here, I have to deal with it. I wish this weren't happening, but I'm used to it."

I think my life is losing momentum, I think my ways are wearing me down, BUT IF I GAVE UP ON BEING PRETTY I WOULDN’T KNOW HOW TO BE ALIVE
I SHOULD MOVE TO A BRAND NEW CITY AND TEACH MYSELF HOW TO DIE
