base talk Have we lost Charli XCX?

[Breakdown]

The tumblr aesthetics singer of the Marina, Sky, Ashley (), Lana gen who used to make the good pop records True Romance and Sucker? Yes, we lost her as soon as she released the trash After the Afterparty and Vroom Vroom. And you know what? We never got her back, it only went downhill from there. Along with her unbearable personality.

As long as her sound will remain true to her branding, I'm fine woth her hitting mainstream.

 

 

[M!X]

Not really because the quality of the music itself is good

 

 

and lets not forget who sings the chorus of Fancy, a literal #1 mainstream hit

Crazy that people want to gatekeep an artist and want them to be underground and niche forever. People have always been talking about how underrated Charli is and now she's blowing up that's a problem? Be happy for her success, because more success means more budget for her future projects.

Agreed. Charli has been working so hard and finally people understand it, what's wrong with that?. People often root for female artists when they're emerging or struggling, appreciating their authenticity and the potential they represent. However, once these artists achieve mainstream success, they can be perceived as having "sold out" or lost their original appeal. The music industry is highly dynamic, with trends shifting rapidly. An artist who was once groundbreaking can quickly become seen as part of the establishment. Fans who seek out the next big thing might turn away from once-favorite artists as they become more mainstream. The OP is disgusting.

Um.. don't be weird, she's a straight cis woman and we never owned her, we celebrated her first.

 

If you're truly a fan you'll want Charli to get all the accolades and success she deserves.

[GraceRandolph]

Yes

Charli already tried a "sellout" era with Crash, and BRAT is doing much better. I think that shows people are interested in her authenticity and I doubt she's about to start pandering to what people want from her.

but do you own the Avi? why are you hating if someone is appreciating your avi's success? Doesn't that make you a hypocrite for disagreeing with the OP? 

[ThousandMiles]

maybe this thread was just a ploy from the start to promote Guess ft. Billie Eilish (out now)

Not one person agreeing omg you must hate yourself rn

[LoveInStereo]

No ******* way. Of any artist I've ever listened to, her underdog status always felt so unfair to me. She blends exaggerated top 40 pop with more avant garde elements in such an accessible, fresh way. It didn't make sense for so long to have pop music discourse not include Charli as a dominant force in it when she's been moving the needle for years now

Girl stfu

[bielneira]

This era she deserves EVERYTHING, so who cares if she becomes more mainstream after this 

[Spark]

Good!! Maybe now she won't have to deal with weird gay men who stick poppers in her face and ask her to sign their douche 

[MatiRod]

Yes. It's time to let go.

 

As we go on

We remember

All the times we

Had together

[45seconds]

I think you all are overplaying the "success" among the GP. A few talking points in an election cycle isn't going to be sustainable at all. It's not even like she's on some meteoric rise like Chapel.

Well yes, you have lost Charli XCX. She's been replaced by Charli xcx.

[Jack!]

Charli hasn't been the gay underground girlie since Sucker.  I appreciate her mixtapes, EPs and side-projects extend her audience in the club scene, and like any female pop star she has a huge gay fanbase, but in terms of her major-label LP releases she's been mainstream coded since BoomClap blew up.

[State of Grace.]

The amount of thinkpieces and meltdowns about Charli seeing some success and branching out of her usual niche is so annoying. It's LONG overdue and I can't think of a more deserving album because its a perfect culmination of her artistry. I'm pretty sure Charli is happy and grateful for all the success and recognition she's getting this summer. Plus, she'll be getting more budget now to do whatever the **** she wants.

 

I'd get the "WE LOST CHARLI OMG!!!" narrative if she went full on sellout on us and was serving generic faceless UK dance ****, but she's literally doing it with her best album and one of the best of the decade.
