#i swear i'm not being a pretentious asshole about it i genuinely enjoy it
#but it's extremely funny to me today to see all these swifties listen to the national for the first time for the most part
#and the resounding thought is oh! it's like folklore!
#and i just heheheheheheheheheh i laugh! i chuckle!
#cuz it's like..... everyone KNOWS that folklore is a lot of taylor just writing to instrumentals aaron already made and sent her
#and she had little to do with the melody of half the album at least
#but i don't think people actually reckoned with that information irl before now like folklore is yes a new direction for taylor
#but it's par for the course for the national! they're QUITE LITERALLY reject tracks!!
#i don't mean this to demean folklore nor to be reductive towards taylor i'm being totally serious i love watching
#swifties slowly come to the realization and connect the dots like
#oh...... this is the sound of the national.... THEY sound like that
#folklore is mainly a national album with taylor writing and singing.....
#and i'm like DING DING DING DING AND THATS WHY IT FUCKS SO SEVERELY
#SAD BOY SUPREME MEETS SAD GIRL SUPREME AND THEIR ALBUM OBVIOUSLY IS INCREDIBLE
#i try not to like indie-splain my pretentious indie music to the pop girlies or the kiddos so im just really thrilled that
#taylor introduced a new group of people to the sound of the national but through slow drip and wrapped in taylorisms
#and that they're getting a new audience of fans who aren't 40 year olds
#cuz they're excellent but they're debilitatingly sad so you really do need to slowly wade in. you can't just dive into Boxer
#you'll suffer so severely
#i'm so happy for them and i'm happy for everyone discovering them and i hope you enjoy middle aged existential gloom!!
#its a good time!!!!
