HIPSTER RUNOFF

HIPSTER RUNOFF


Free-spirited mom forces her 2 year old daughter 2 sing Joanna Newsom so she can go ‘alt viral’

My free spirited mom
loves the buzzband human
“Joanna Newsom”
Makes us listen 2 it on the way to school every day

I didn’t realize that she was a relevant indie buzzband
I thought she was some sort of Children’s Phonetic Training Audio Exercise Tape
Just trying to train my brain / mouth to pronounce words
and enunciate correctly

Turns out that people actually ‘listen to this Newsom lady’
Honestly no idea this can be considered ‘legitimate art’
I even googled her latest album, and it was apparently a ‘flop’ both commercially and critically
Worried I won’t turn out 2 be authentic if my mom keeps listening 2 irrelevant buzzbands.

Wish my mom listened to mainstream slutwave artists
Sorta just wanna watch some Sesame Street
Watch Katy Perry’s cha chas flopping around
as Elmo motorboats her

Kinda pissed that my alt mom ‘compromised’ my privacy / identity
and my cool dad ‘went along with it’
just so that I would get music blog coverage
since they think I’m gonna be in a whimsical lofi buzzband when I grow up

Pissed that they enrolled me in ‘harp lessons’ just to be ‘more like Joanna’
Wish they realized
that I am me
(and that Joanna Newsom is a terrible artist who makes poo poo albums)

Wish I could just enjoy a mainstream, un-viral childhood
but here I am
doing my phonics exercises
and getting ‘mad views’ on the youtube

Is Joanna Newsom ‘relevant’?
Do yall still h8 her music?
Do u think her personal brand/style is ‘brilliant’ or ‘mad annoying’?
Does Joanna Newsom sound like a 2 year old is yelling in2 a microphone with some Renaissance Fair instruments in the background?
Can Joanna Newsom recover after a disastrous 2k10?
