base talk Taylor gets criticized on twitter for labelling Reputation as “goth-punk”

[hindsight]

We're truly living the 1989 era again, people dragging her even for having a sense of humor about her own work  but this time she does not give a **** so yall have to keep suffering!

[FightDragonsWithMe]

Only Taylor could get 7 pages off call reputation goth-punk crying. Worry about your flop faves 

[spree]

It’s insulting to actual goth-punk albums and artists. Reputation is a Pop album, nothing more.  Just because she is wearing a black beanie in the Ready For It video doesn’t make her goth. But of course her stupid fans will consider her genre-shifting.

Yes, ATRL user spree, we’re definitely all over here taking it seriously and discussing Reputation as a punk album. That’s what’s happening.

 

[brenda-walsh]

nothing about Reputa is "goth" or "punk." Not sonically, not visually, nothing 

[Suilen]

While there's indeed nothing goth-punk about Reputation, I've noticed this sudden protectiveness over punk lately like we didn't have the whole pop punk era when nary a political statement was uttered. For many people punk is just aesthetics without all the political baggage, the same with goth, so the outrage is a bit overblown. They probably expect better from Taylor since it's music history and all but even if she knows the true weight behind those words, it's still not that deep of a statement.

[LOTF]

Words are useless

Especially sentences

They don't stand for anything

How could they explain how Taylor feels about reputation?

[Bussea]

it’s not that serious but to jobless people it is. 

[TMRA]

Are you guys ok? In this context Punk= rebelious. And yes Taylor has always been vanilla safe but with rePUNKtation she embraced the villain of pop role which nobody expected her to do.

 

Anyways, as a Gaga and my-artpop-could-mean-anything stan I ACCEPT IT AND I SUPPORT IT.

I Did Something Bad is my favorite punk song! 

[woohoo]

Shhh let the OTH have it they literally have nothing left. Taylor took and took this year. Now it’s the season of giving, let them have this one small drag, even if it’s flying 20 stories over their heads. 

[Taylor fanboy]

GOTHgeous got haters MAD!

[Blumoon]

She is so pretentious.  Chick you are as vanilla as they come.  Putting on black lipstick and embracing snakes doesnt change your bland ass music.

[Disconnect]

This is literally just a casual opinion she had and y’all are making the most of it lol.

 

The truth is, Taylor is just a normal person who speaks her mind and is HONEST about what she thinks (which she has the right to do) and doesn’t give an f about it, as she should.

 

Y’all are just mad because she is so successful, besides whatever her opinion might be.

Reputation, the Emo Bible, getting all this attention 

[aesthetic bih]

I think Tay used "goth-punk" more of as a metaphor rather than literally. But sis should've known better knowing everyone is gonna dissect every word she says especially since she's silent on some big political issues 

[ImpressMeMuch]

im still not over the fact that she's under the impression it's taken people years to unpack the depths of that record and that they think its just snakes and strobe lights

 

I love me some cozy folklore and evermore but girlie please

 

 

[MissedTheTrain]

I mean, I think it's clear that some of her stuff doesn't exactly come off the way she actually felt about it at the time the way she thinks it does.  But it makes me lol how mad people are getting over this

So what was GOTH PUNK? Trash ass bangs? Maybe the black n white cover...

There will only be cringefestation...

[One Rude Boy]

She spilled

 

Surprised she didn't mention Lover is ska

[Robyn.]

She had a black & white filter and thought she was goth-punk 

 

Not with those 15 year old high school lyrics  

 

 "Reputation precedes me, they told you I'm crazy
I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me"

 

"I never trust a playboy, but they love me
So I fly 'em all around the world
And I let them think they saved me
They never see it comin', what I do next
This is how the world works
You gotta leave before you get left"

 

 

 

 

[Letemtalk]

You can't get any more goth-punk than rapping with Ed Sheeran about having a big reputation.

Just not sure who is the most goth-punk, is it Taylor or Ed?

[Comedor]

Never thought I’d read Taylor and punk in the same sentence.

[jakeisphat]

This reminds me of when Katy said Prism was “real ****ing DARK” 

[Støned]

Goth punk album with Gorgeous as one of the album tracks? 

 

Her worst album deserved the lashings. 😂

[Taylor fanboy]

The punk that that has
