Charli XCX & Making Fun of Internet Fame 

Perfect 👍

spot on omg this is perfect to describe her

THIS!!!🥰👍❤️

Absolutely, anyone who thinks otherwise is a moron. The fact that there's a long list of songs that she gave away to other artists that went #1 or charted really high should pretty clearly say as much.

way cooler anyways than that other shite.

I mean, it’s a cute sentiment that she’s doing something underground & doesn’t want fame with all the media appearances & obviously is making pop music, even though unique

@@CoCreation.with.Qualia I don't know if she doesn't want fame, tbh she never comes across as a person who is uncomfortable in front of a camera or being in the spotlight, but I think she likes being a sort of minor celebrity most people know, and is respected by her peers. This is completely me navel gazing, that's just the vibe I get from her

Nothing Avantgarde about her

i know all of them like i'm so chronically online i need to a find a boyfriend 😭😭😭

@@silviabeatrizcalongamedina9128it's over for u ur terminally online

why is this actually so true. like we’ve been bringing to life the darker side of being “mainstream” and now we’re remaking what’s in and whats out in pop culture. and when there’s no more interest of ppl who are mainstream, we don’t need labels to be the drawing board, we can make fun of it

The restaurant is a reference to the Sky Ferreira’s twitter stan account who is also a big Charli fan. I was surprised i caught that detail i guess im chronically online lmao

@@sadiqinlatifiamir6563 omg yes, i remember on first watch seeing the restaurant and being like “sky????”

ouuu

Yeah and I’d see PC Music people say that they aren’t necessarily saying it ironic that they’re just making whatever they wanna make.

@@xp8969oh ur MADDDD 😭

lol yikes

@@aotctd you sound offended and hostile.

Her thought process behind it is also fantastically ingenious; but do the majority of twitter stans even know how to read? Let alone take their precious online time to read whole interview articles? 💚

yes !!

It's because of CRASH, the image, all the aesthetics of that super bomb hypersexual main queen. You can't easily forget that aura and those photoshoots

It is starting to grow bigger now. Lots of people are using the cover as pfp now lol

well it is now

If you’re not a hottie you just won’t get it!!

🎉

!!! this

Exactly this - and its probably one of the most iconic boiler rooms performances ever.

The only reason why I got into Charli xcx in the first place was BECAUSE of the Sophie/AG Cook collab. I find that I love Charli’s music the most when she is doing a track with A.G. Rest in peace Sophie, a god damn legend.

What's her name

Same with when i saw quen 😂

or Chloe Sevigny!

& emma chamberlain

I’m in the belief that they (subconsciously) know all along lol. I also thought PC Music was basically an ironic reference to modern pop music?

@@years3333 that's when it becomes post-irony. it's self-aware, but the goal is not to be satirical. the goal is actually to be the most sincere and authentic. I think Hannah Diamond is the best example of the PC music crew when we talk about sincerity. She's not mocking Girlhood and cute childhood girl wonders, she's putting light at it and showing her sensibility to these visuals and meanings. and that what's making it interesting. To be authentic and at the same time self aware at what it references

@@christophekauffmann5923 this is such a great articulation of what Hannah Diamond is about imo. it's so authentic and so serious, but using these pop elements dialled up to 100 in a way that's weird and experimental but ultimately because it's a love for the genre, not to take the piss out of it

RU-vidr Mic the Snare made a video a couple years back about PC music/hyperpop in which he discusses the sound’s “precarious residence between sincerity and parody”. Which is so well explained, but I think its also hugely about nostalgia. The zeitgeist of the early 2000’s/2010’s was pathologically “ironic” (ie parody), but nostalgia by nature is sentimental (ie sincerity), so if you grew up around that time, as all of these artists did, there is going to be a dichotomous fusion of those two conflicting concepts. And it’s brilliant because, to the rest of us who also grew up then, it feels so right. It also incidentally alienates those who do not identify with that appeal to y2k nostalgia and widens the gaps between musical generations. (Not a lament, that’s just how time works lol)

Well... it's twitter, don't expect great and clever things from that place hahaha

yeahhhh, My interpretation of the videoclip was that everyone can be the IT girl, I never felt that i wasnt invite it to the table.

"what i like" will prob always be my #1 charli track

@@rhubarb1073 omg same!! it's so nostalgic, i love it so much

Totally

Yeah, I hate when people only know her just from Sucker & the biggest mainstream hits, or act as if that was her beginning & True Romance never happened, & doesn't exist. #JusticeForTrueRomance She mentioned it in a recent interview & referred to it as her really good album that no one listened to & quoted the low sale figures. I was like *YES!!!* It's so good to see her acknowledging TR & showing it the love it deserves. I've been a fan since "Franchescar!!!", & "GRINS" is one of the TR/ Heartbreaks & Earthquakes songs I revisit the most. I love her unreleased music, too. _"bout to pull up to the block block block block, green money in a green bag."_ 🎶

OMG hi Caroline polachek

I feel like the good parts of fancy were Charli's contributions and the only reason it was so popular was because her parts were actually so dam catchy

Yes, but he is a music snob so he has to say he doesn't like popular songs.

Who is she? Never heard of her

@@xp8969 he said stupidly after watching the whole video

😂@@CardoTown nah, I said it INSULTINGLY

I'd love to have her name there but like Alfo said, she's big enough, but not huge enough so it might take a while for her to gain recognition.

@@xp8969 commenting helps the algorithm so thank u for your taking the time out of your day to hate, i'm sure the creator and charli really appreciate it!

Yeah, this felt like too much of nothing, if that makes sense. 😅

i love it. first charli song i loved.

i blacked out after that what else was this about?

​@@phillipedenso did I lol

That’s beautiful. I love when I mishear lyrics and it adds more to the song-even (and sometimes especially) if the opposite meaning was intended

OH MY GOD THIS WAS BEFORE THE BUFF REVEAL LMAOOOOOOOOOOO im so happy in my new decision

There all so good

Crash feels like it never existed, the odd ball album

@@talkmone Ehhhh, I don’t think so. I think it brought a lot of attention to Charli that previous records didn’t. For example I was able to hear Beg for you on a pop radio station in Slovenia!? Never in my life had i thought that i would hear Rina Sawayama on any radio in my country. But I think that Crash will be a pivotal album in Charli’s career. She put on this persona of a pop star, an idea of which she previously fully reject. For example the lead single of this record was Good Ones, which was not written by her. That is surprising, because we know that she is a skilled songwriter and it works towards this world building of a pop star Charli persona. In interviews Charli also said that she wanted to try out being a pop star again, but on her terms. The pop star persona included big budget music videos (at least for Good Ones and Beg for you), a trending 80s production and a dance crew during her live performances. But it also meant collaborating with people like Caroline and Christine, bringing some of her own personality into the record as well as performing songs like Welcome to my Island remix on tour. Because of this pop star-ish cosplay it meant that she can now position herself as the “post-ironic it girl”, which is her whole current persona that is responsible for Brat (at least from what we’ve heard so far). If she kept making experimental records she just simply wouldn’t appeal to as many (gay) people, she probably wouldn’t land the Bodies Bodies and Barbie soundtracks, which introduced this persona of hers to the wider public. Also there are some amazing songs on Crash, Move and Constant Repeat being one of Charli’s best. Lightning, Crash, Yuck and Good ones are great too.

Yeah, those comments threw me off

Thats ☕

yes! i remember! she had the vibe but not really the musical skill at the time, so she learned bass! botth iconic

@@bexiexz still a huge fan of their song 'What Do You Like in Me'

that's a great idea freddiegibbsintern345

Yesss I love that song

omg thank you i forgot to change it from my last video lmao

@@AlfoMedialet’s go I helped!!!

bro i'm too confused

Listen to any of the music she’s made in the last 5 years or so and you’ll get it.

In a good way
