Gaga, Katy, etc. the forgotten generation.

This girl was like 5-8 when they were happening 

 

She really had to grow with selena, taylor and ariana as a teen  having to relate to someone

I mean I get it but.

 

1. Britney and Christina didn't dissappear off the face of the earth in 2003

2. She grew up in the era of YT so I don't see how she wouldn't have at least checked them out. Also her aesthetic is literally so Britney coded like girl

3. Selena? Really? I get Ariana and Taylor but Selena? Like I have never understood the hype with this chick, she can't even carry a note

 

All in all she's only 21, I just don't find the age excuse all that relevant. Bruno Mars was born in 1985 but still regularly draws influences from artists like Michael Jackson, Earth Wind & Fire and Kool & The Gang, all who peaked before he was alive. Beyoncé's two biggest female influences are Diana Ross and Tina Turner, both of whom also peaked before she was born, yet somehow growing up in the 80s and 90s they were still able to learn and be influenced.

 

Whatever.

Xtina and Britney were babies when Madonna and Janet smashed and still both excelled showing the influence from them. Hell, even Xtina at 8 was singing Sunday Kind Of Love a song released 20 years prior.

 

Same with Gaga, Bowie born like 40 years before her and she still show him some respect. There's something named pop culture for a reason, it's up to you if you prefer watching HSM or VH1.

[Odette Violet]

is she talking about their feud / media drama cause that's would be pretty understandable but if it's aesthetics or musical inspiration like girl you are cosplaying Britney in a tighter budget  

[LittleStarmen]

It shows how basic she is tbqh

[Technicolor]

It wasn't even shade. People getting mad in here for no reason 

[Cloudy]

I feel sorry for her

[Popboi.]

This wasn't shade at all  she was a teenager in the mid 2010s so of course that's what she "grew up" watching on TV. She wasn't going to lie about growing up watching Christina when her last hit was before Tate was even 10. She's clearly inspired by Britney and X now but that wasn't the question.

I think it also depends on how you are raised and what you get fed while growing up.

 

There is nothing wrong with whay she said

[alfonso12]

I saw Britney stans being mad at her basically because she wasn't born at her peak  pathetic.

 

The fact that she was gagged by Selena's album cover is sad though, poor Gen Z, the bar was low. 

[Chileno]

That's so sad omg
