Op getting cooked but I don’t know how we can pretend there aren’t ppl that actually do this

Thanks for serving our country brother

I ETS this year

Our generation has to deal with mental illness a lot more than previous ones

I don’t think you understand how real of an issue it is

When you somewhere chillin in the Bahamas while the rest of us fighting WW3

Some naïve f***in kids itt

Believing no artist would use this wave to brand and market themselves..

Either you ain’t seen s*** don’t question s*** or just blind.

I get that.. but not every artists is dealing with it

I don’t think you have any idea what I’ve experienced or know about first hand

You might just wanna answer the question and keep it pushin

Not necessarily
Older generations were called crazy and didn’t even have diagnosis for many mental illnesses

They also had lead paint

Russ uses mental illnesses to promote himself? wtf

It’s fun to cook the OP

Just about every time

No matter what.. it’s fun to try to play OP rather than discuss what they’re addressing as if that’s not the point of a forum

Everything OP says is ridiculous every time lol

why?

Definitely Roddy with his album title. Like it would be one thing if he actually spoke on being antisocial on any of the songs but the title literally has nothing to do with any of the music fire album tho

If anything mental illness shouldve been worse to deal with in the past

I know society can be heartless but imagine as recently as the 40s

Them niggas was really f***ed

Damn..

Great example.. it’s almost like he just used the trend to market himself and make the album more relatable or interesting to the average consumer dealing with it.

Lol yeah OP a f***ing weirdo

An Earl or a Zay I see them as being genuine when talking/rapping about this s*** but i getchu op

Remember when Tyler would perform like this because of his anxiety?

Now he's up on stage like this:

That's some growth.

Weirdness has always been marketable to an extent though, just needs to be the right brand of weird.

Hi -C can eat a d***..

Naive sheep d***ridin cuc boy

You’re not any smarter for disbelieving everything

Some are genuine..

Some are not..

I’m askin about the ones that seem to be blatantly riding the wave..

What are some thoughts on that.. I don’t see how this is somethin people are struggling to identify lol

Yup music artist and YouTubers been taking advantage of it

Everyone is "suicidal" now

Step 1: make yourself look racially ambiguous

Step 2: claim to suffer from some fashionable form of mental illness such as depression or bipolar disorder

Step 3: rap/sing on a trap influenced beat

Step 4: profit

mental illness is more mainstream than ever

but also its good marketing

i personally dont like when people use mental illness as a personality trait or like a quirk its just annoying

It was a statement to tell strangers not to approach him in public basically

I mean i barely listen to any of these new niggas so i cant give you a solid opinion about the supposed fake ones but it wouldnt surprise if youre telling the truth

Marketing/image that appeals to certain demographics is extremely important if you want to make it

If you read the thread, you’ll see I clearly believe some are dealing with it

I don’t believe every one of them are.

Never said anything about being smarter than anybody

Blonded isn’t any smarter than me for trying to make what I’m saying sound ridiculous when there’s clearly legitimacy to my question.
