Like these artists that come out with “social anxiety” as soon as they come out. As if people really living with that s*** don’t struggle to admit it to themselves.. let alone the whole world

Or when artists tweet lonely, weird depressed stuff and act like they’re awkward or strange in pics or interviews for the relatability of it and engagement of fans

Do y’all take issue with the blatant “weirdness posing” or “mental illness sympathy posing” artists seem to pull more and more to humanize them and make you root for their success..

Or is it here say to be expected or smart marketing?

or they could actually have the issues that they're talking about

just a thought!

They try to recreate the cudi effect that allowed him to sell 100k first week years after his last billboard hit

idc

good morning mr. jabs

morn

its fun to believe everything you see huh

People are starting to be more open about s*** like that. You’re weird for being so bothered.

They’re f***ing wack and wanna cater to the new wave of social media wanna be loner depressed fashion head aesthetic

This s*** all stemmed from Ian Connor, anime twitter and Tumblr

it is fun to have empathy for people and give them the benefit of the doubt that they may be experiencing genuine mental or emotional trauma/illnesses instead of instantly assuming they're faking it for clout, yes.

excuse me for being anti-social

Shoutout mental illness - Zach Fox 2019

I believe some of them seriously suffer

But not all calm down son..

We’ve started to blur the line of social anxiety with being out of your comfort zone tbh

People with actual anxiety have panic attacks.

Or... being a music artist is a s***ty profession for mental health & has a direct correlation with illness 👍

You are right

Summer would benefit more from just being an average thot type chick. I think she’s genuine.

And some people are capitalizing on that fact to market themselves..

I’m bothered by people using someone’s real struggle as a cash grab on some level but not overly..

Just curious what others think about it

You’re weird for going into attack mode off the rip for asking a question I’m curious about

oh look, another dumbass pretending he can tell whether people have real mental illness or are just faking it some of ya’ll actually disgust me

Won’t lie and act like it doesn’t seem like some people love the whole aesthetic that goes along with it. I mean I see it all over ig.

i hate the youtubers and online influencers that do it more but yeah s***s lame
