Omg agree. I will forever hate Norah jones for taking her Grammys. Like she at LEAST deserved best new artist wtf

She got everyoneee in my 7th grade class to be little rock rebels. I loved it. But she really did usher in the pop-rock scene, then so many people abandoned her for "real" rockers (good charlotte lol, okay) and by 8th grade I felt like the only Avril fan still standing haha. Her REAL underrated impact was that everyone suddenly learned the word "poser" after she blew up, and they called her that for soooo long (which felt like they were calling ME that, those little sh*ts). I swear I have a PTSD flare up every time I hear that word still. ugh anyway then she started cooking a lot and now she's just rich and lazy and I kinda resent her for it but it's okay

My actual answer is this one hit wonder…I think this song is sexy af, and its proved to be very effective whenever I have a boy over. On a less serious note but still being truthful, every time this song plays I think the world stops spinning to watch me be hot Grab it, ratchet, smack it, good! Up and down, up on that wood! AAAASSSSES UPPPP

Ugh I just knew Robyn was gonna elevate it

I had a female roommate once who I heard rhythmically panting "Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay!" for sooo long while she got railed. I don't know how to explain how weird it was but I'll never get rid of that echo in my head

For sureeee UMS that was a masterclass in how to follow up a legendary debut. I just didn't enjoy Lights' voice overall either

This obviously isn't happening, but whatever I'll share a theory I secretly hoped for. After the Robyn shade in here, I'm braced for nobody to get my vision BUT… Didnt Zara previously tease Saturn's return with a butterfly or something? I love her but don't stalk her so I could be off about that. Anyway, I thought I saw that somewhat recently, and I always associate butterflies with Mariah. And go figure, Mariah's second Saturn return just started in February while Zara is kicking off her first Saturn return. I thought that could've been a cute moment. But Mariah probably would never age herself so publicly like that, so I knew it was a lost cause. But still. For a moment there, I swear I heard their voices flutter together through the cloud of delusion I live in now

Only listened once but I liked what I heard!

The lack of enthusiastic Robyn mentions these past few pages is very jarring. Are there gay people here or ????

I second Schmitty's! It's a great bar with more of a local vibe, but the music is usually pretty solid and I like the vibes/people. I'm biased though because I live super close to it. It's also just a couple blocks away from all the other bars, so it's usually a fun starting point, then you can walk down to explore more. Motherload if you want to get absolutely wasted for like $5. Or Bar is a little farther down from the main group of bars, but it's more upscale if you're looking for that and some really great (but kinda expensive) cocktails. I don't love the Abbey, but if you're visiting it's usually worth seeing once. Revolver and Mattie's can be a good time depending on the night. Gym bar leans more local, but it's in the middle of everything and the music is solid Hi Tops if you want cute but messy boys who think they're hot sh*t but don't know how to dance

god I just love hearing her again. I don't even have the brain for any sort of critical review or ranking at this point. Imagine how boring the music landscape would sound right now if she didn't start her own label and drop Robyn in 2005.

I want her to take off so bad. I still slide U-Huh on the playlists I make with my friends in hopes they will one day acquire some taste

Do you guys remember in like 2011 when celebrities were constantly doing paparazzi photos with those bedazzled suckers from sugar factory

When Avril first came out it was genuinely life altering for me. I think it was when she started calling her fans 'little black stars' that I was like, oh wait… I'm not whatever the **** that is… And it was downhill from there tbh. She was the primary soundtrack to my middle school & high school anti-everything "coming of age" years, and my first concert, and the first artist all my friends also loved. Her first three albums were an impressive run that not many people achieve, and I really thought she would grow up to be more impactful than she wound up becoming. Now she vacillates between the cringe-tween-hot-topic-girl vibe and the take-me-seriously-I'm-mature-and-divorced vibe, and neither are relatable to me at all. She's so far removed from the artist who originally caught my attention. In 2013/2014 I was the boss of the guy that played her boyfriend in the 'girlfriend' music video. They stayed friends for a few years after he landed that job, but he told me a lot of stories about her that made me lowkey glad I wasn't a stan anymore. But it's a weird and sad feeling when a person & their art can make such an imprint on you, then they just…aren't that person anymore. Ohhh wellllll
