    Abel is making his best music since I started listening to him for me personally, so no, I have no idea what you’re even on about.

    Some of y’all are so stuck on this weird f***ing “I want the same kind of music from an artist that is many years older than they were when they were making THAT kind of music and if they don’t make the same f***ing music over and over again they suck but if they keep making the same music they need to switch up their style” vibe that you don’t know how to just relax and appreciate music.

    It’s literally so annoying

    What is the point of being on here if you can't talk about music then? You're pretty much saying you can't criticise artists because they're constantly evolving, how is this not stan behaviour?

    would you prefer everyone to just praise every artist constantly?

    looking at his public exposure right now, i’d say he’s in his prime compared to his other eras. dude is way popular today than he was back in his starboy days

    doubt that the public is going to get “tired” of him anytime soon.

    dude needs to cool it on his Era/Character play, makes me fully unable to relate or even really invest

    if he was making the same songs but dropped the incessant cosplay I'd be way more interested

    I recognize this as a very valid and common criticism of certain artists, even if I don't personally agree. It's an interesting concept to me, especially your last sentence.

    What's the last Weeknd project you f***ed with?

    already am, i think he needs to take a step back and come back with a new 'feeling'

    also the albums and the vibes behind them seem way too forced / manufactured ionno

    Where in the f*** did I say you can’t criticize artists because they’re evolving?

    Guy asked me if I felt Abel was making “common denominator music” and I shared my opinion then simply explained some of the bullshit I constantly see on here

    I mean that's the thing—
    I like the music he makes, but I don't get that excited or connected bc the whole contrived persona thing makes it hard for me to ground the music emotionally.

    I started listening to him when MDM dropped, maybe because it felt least like a character relative to his other projects

    you can just ignore that, no? Most of the people like what he is doing I think

    Yeah I can look past it, just kinda makes it harder for me to care about him as an individual, das all

    You literally personally insulted me and said I can't relax & appreciate music because I said I think The Weeknd has cheaped his music lol. No need to get so heated, this isn't BTS twitter

    yeah i feel you ain't nothing wrong with that. it's all personal preference. i forget who it was but i was having a discussion with another user about this, and just general authenticity (for lack of a better word) in the music biz. it's definitely something that some can look past and others can't.

    I don't think the public will get tired of xo. He's a bonafide legend.

    As long as he and the max martin's of the world can pen easily digestible pop r&b hits w/an 80's nostalgia aesthetic on it, he'll be here to stay.

    Every album is simply massive. I don't know how one can even say this given what after hours did.
