“Five stars in X Change for a rant in which I will attempt to straddle generations and argue a point that no one else listening probably even cares about. I’m not mad at Jay for yelling at Bunny about politics, I’m mad at Bunny for saying hyperpop has no soul— BUNNY YOU WERE RIGHT! SAM SMITH WAS BAD AT THE GRAMMYS AND HAS NO BUSINESS SINGING SONGS LIKE THAT BUT THEY ARE NOT HYPERPOP AND NEITHER IS UNHOLY! Kim Petras has worked with hyperpop legends before who are also pioneers for trans women (like Sophie who’s discography I implore folks to check out. There is soul there I promise, songs like It’s Okay to Cry and Only Living For You by Hyd (produced by Sophie) ache with hair-raising emotion in my opinion) so I think that’s why she gave them flowers in her part of the acceptance speech. But calling Unholy hyperpop is an egregious misrepresentation of the genre😭 You wouldn’t listen to a hypothetical Kidz Bop version of a Jazmine Sullivan song for example, because I know Bunny loves her as we all do, and then go on to say the genre of r&b has no soul? Love the pod otherwise though, obsessed with the hosts and guests and yes I’ll say it even ‘nasty neoliberal hothead producer’ Jay hopping on every once in a while to get a rise out of Bunny lol #MonetionRise #StreamLoveLikeThis”
