Thank you for making this, as someone who gets hyperfixated on music artists It's hard for me to let go of Lovejoy. Thank you for making this, As much as I will say support shubble, I do think she should tell people to chill out with sending death threats/telling people to off themselves. #supportshubble Thanks for giving me a final listen to lovejoy.
MY GOD LITERALLY IM SO DONE WITH THE PEOPLE ACTING LIKE THEY HAVE TO STOP LISTENING TO A BAND JUST BECAUSE OF THE ARTISTS LIKE A SONG IS GOOD WHEN A SONG IS GOOD MAN A PIECE OF ART IS GOOD IF ITS GOOD IT DOESNT NEED BACKGROUND DETAILS OF THE ARTISTS JUST FOR IT TO BE NICE TO SEE OR LISTEN
true but when you sought comfort in the person that seemed to have done shitty things you kinda feel let down and betrayed and just litterally listening to that persons voice can trigger people, especially people in wilburs fanbase who have been struggling with mental issues or abuse themselves, it feels more personal yknow, that you got so comfortable with an internet person that it felt like you knew them. for example i took a huge break of lovejoy after the allegations started and now listening again bec the music is amazing. but for example the cult of dionysis (a song) was made by a shitty person considering the many and many true allegations, did i give a fuck, no, did i still listen, yes and i didn't have that much comfort, just a good song. but for wilbur i watched all the content and streams and i got a safe space there in his fanbase plus in the discord server. you can't just tell people to just listen if you wanna listen, it's more complicated than that. kinda like grief for some people.
thank you for the title rebrand. I mean, I woll continue having will as my favorite artist because his music is REAL emotions, but my support will lie with Shelby
ive been listening to lovejoy since AYA was released, I never really was a fan of Wilburs content but his music was just relatable and becuase of that it became my new favorite. I soon fell inlove with Perfume and its sound, but now I listening back to it one last time for some nostalgic reason and theres this lyric that doesnt sit with me right anymore and the same goes with the song now. "You say your ex-boyfriends a policeman, I say you need better standards"
The only way I’ll listen to LoveJoy now is through these kinds of playlists because I’m not directly helping “him” I do with the best for Ash, Joe, and Mark tho.
I think he’s given up at this point. Not many people want to listen to his music to give him money so they use reuploaded versions (I don’t support him either btw)
I keep coming back to this without the corage to listen to it. today I just need to do a last listen and get it out of my system. it makes me so genuinely sick to think i gave so much money to such a horrible man. support shelby. dont stream lovejoy or his solo stuff. fuck wilbur soot.
"support shelby" for what? emotional manipulation? potential abuse? having no credibility? please, someone enlighten me, because i don't know what i'm meant to be supporting her for
Could anyone recommend me some other artists or songs that sound similar to this style of music? I really used to love Lovejoy, but I just can't bring myself to listen to it anymore.
This whole drama really hits me hard. Will's music helped me through most of the times i feel helpless. I remember a year ago when I'd come back from school on the verge of tears, I would drop myself on my bed and loop his songs and cry until I fall asleep. Now I cant listen to them without being reminded of how disappointing he actually is. Support Shelby.
im pretty sure that wilbur isnt actually an abuser. theres alot of undeniable proof of shubble being the abuser and accusing the witness so he couldnt get away w telling what she did, especially bc he had a larger following than her
Not specifically lovejoy but if you want alternatives to *his* music, go follow and listen to the artists he was inspired from (crywank, los campesinos, arctic monkeys) they are great artists and a good replacement to that guy.
Los Campesinos! Are very good, especially Romance is Boring. I'm not as much of a die-hard fan of the following but My Bloody Valentine and and Julie match the grungy aethstetic quite nicely.
This is my first time listening since everything was revealed. What has helped me a little is the fact that we were told that YCGMA was basically our own album, and that our own experiences and interpretations were correct. It helps to view things my own way and have something that I relate to. That being said, fuck William Gold, don’t give him any money or support, and take care of yourself
I always thought his music was to consistent with the “I’m a nice guy I deserve love” vibe I’m pretty sure that’s his actual mindset I watched him for years
Hey I want the comments in the video to know. You can listen to wils music. I don't think supporting Shubble is a good idea despite this being a Shubble support video Reasons: She was the abuser(too much proof included to deny, like, pictures, think of it like ur a court judge) She is abelist (also proof of) She is sexist(Proof included) She actively supports someone who is lying about SA and says people 18-21 are minors/childten She didnt provide proof when she lied about abuse but wants pictures of 7 dead bodies from the suicides her fans have caused Her fans are assaulting and doxxing wilbur fans and wilbur himself from what I know and she actively supports it and has blocked anyone telling her to tell people to stop letting people do bad things You can check Int0xix's community posts, any account that posts about it, Shubbles recent bods about it, re-read Wil's apalogy. Etc 🫶
i stayed out of Lovejoy and wilbur until August last year, so it didnt hurt as bad as some other people but i got attached so easy. ycgma means so much to me because i listened to those at my lowest in 2021ish and his music has just been an escape. ive been watching shelby for way longer so it was easy to take her side, no questions asked. im still sad about it a month later, and i doubt I'll ever be fully over it. i just wanted to write this for closure. thank you for this video
May I recommend the band Lyerr? I actually know the lead singer irl (not like friends but oh well) and I've been obsessed w them recently!! (I was a massive Lovejoy fan and they sound so awesome omg)

Despite everything Wilbur’s music will always have a certain place in my heart only one other person has, that person’s halfway across the country who wants nothing to do with me, even though Wilbur is a bad person his work will forever remind me of the person I let slip away
