So I was at this party on Saturday, and it was inspired by Slayyyter and her musical peers, such as Charli, Kim, Ayesha, SOPHIE, Arca, etc. I couldn't help but notice that a lot of people were dressed in what I would basically call Slayyyter WGIA cosplay. Girls and gays were screaming every single line from WGIA and WMIA, but whenever the DJ played a Slayyyter song that wasn't related to either WGIA or WMIA, everyone suddenly took on the mute challenge. For example, at one point, the DJ played Daddy AF, which is, in my humble opinion, one of Slayyyter's most popular songs released before this era. Some random person standing next to me had the nerve to loudly and annoyingly ask "what is this song lol?" This morning I was reading tweets from people who attended Slayyyter's show in Paris last night, and some people were clutching their pearls because people in the crowd were drinking, using drugs, or even smoking. Yeah, being completely intoxicated and wasted in the crowd is one thing, but I just don't understand how anyone can be surprised by such behavior when the person whose show you're attending is literally singing about doing drugs. I'm not promoting drug abuse here, but I still won't judge people for using drugs at a show when the main artist also occasionally uses them. Obviously, Slayyyter and her fanbase are part of a subculture in which this kind of behavior is normal, or at least acceptable. And now that she's become somewhat mainstream, more and more people are trying to get a piece of the pie by claiming they're part of that same subculture, too. I feel like something similar happened with Charli XCX during the Brat era. I really hate people who try to gatekeep their faves and their music from the general public, but in recent years, I've noticed that it's become more of a trend to act like you're part of something you're clearly not. Maybe Slayyyter isn't the best example, but everyone is trying to be a brat or whatever else is trendy at the moment, and it becomes their entire personality until the next cool thing comes along. Should we bring back calling people out for being posers in 2026?
