oki so when i first listened to olivia rodrigo's 'sour' 2 years ago, i was genuinely surprised by how much of the album resonated with me as a 17 year old having gone through similar feelings of hopelessly lost heartbreak and questions of self-worth in its various forms - like it really felt like a coming-of-age album of sorts made to and perhaps for 16-18 year olds and i really did like that! anyways imagine my fucking glee when 'vampire' and 'bad idea right?' released and showed thematically and sonically that "Oh shit this is for a much older audience than last time oh shit this one's for the college gurlies, this new album is for me"

#it's like viewing the teenage growing up experience in retrospect #like from another angle - someone going through the similar hoops you go through as a teenager the exact time you're going through them #i dunno if im explaining it right but like in a sense - olivia's music is growing with her (duh) and also it grows with its audience #since i guess i can safely assume that olivia's audience are people around the same age as her #or maybe its just me and my great glee at something so fun yet relatable for many 19 year olds i know (bad idea right)#(and also vampire but that kind of relatable is um not fun BUT STILL IT DEEPLY RESONATES WITH A LOT OF 19 YEAR OLDS I KNOW)#anyways that's what i got from the singles and now i'm getting into the actual album and from reading up on the track descriptions #yea i seem right that olivia's music grows with its audience as well so ey #olivia rodrigo #guts olivia rodrigo
