@@armpits5928 yeah now what stupid

He’s Dutch he can’t help it

I thought the same, the interviewer went too far

Greenalex89 she’s said before in interviews that while she hopes people ask more than just the personal ones, she she likes answering the deep ones because she knows they’re important! i know what you mean, though. i wasn’t a huge fan of this interviewer.

Agreed, the interviewer was a bit of a dick

Mhh, how do i put this? Hard to explain..I don't think he was intentionally trying to take advantage of her in any way. For me it felt as if he was a fan of her music and lyrics too. And as for my case, I kinda feel really kind of connected to the artist Julien Baker, not the private person though, cause thats private (!) (and many many more people do), because she shared her private experiences and emotions so honestly and beautifully and gave me the opportunity to process my own, similar experiences. And so due to that "connection", affection, affiliation to the artist, whatever you might call it, he seemingly tended to want to find out what truth is behind certain lyrics he felt connected to. its just a theory and maybe I'm leaning myself a bit too far out of the window here, but as Julien pointed out, the lyrics mean to you what they need to mean in the specific moment. Yet, if you are deeply connected to them, if they mean a lot to you, there might be an urge to find out if there are parallels between your emotions while listening to them and the actual cause for writing those lyrics. If I would interview her, I'd hava a similar longing for those answers, but I'd post those questions a lot more vaguely, giving her the opportunity to decide for herself, how openly she wants them to answer. And with utmost respect for her actual privacy. Sry for the essay :)

Yeah, I get what you mean. I kind of agree and kind of don’t at the same time. Like I felt that the questions themselves were okay, but they were phrased a little to bluntly sometimes. He definitely could’ve phrased the sexuality question more like “so I read somewhere you identify as LGBT. If you’re comfortable talking about it, was that easy for you growing up, and how have like experiences such as but not limited to coming out affected your music?” (ofc there’s a slight language barrier and I don’t mean that exact phrasing) in pt. 1 I’d agree he was prying a little too much about her breakup. I think initially asking if there was one was okay but she definitely seemed uncomfortable and if he picked up on that he should’ve stopped.

I think the part of this interview that struck me as uncomfortable was not the questions themselves, but the way they were phrased, as well as the seemingly total lack of rapport established during or before the interview. She seemed very closed off and defensive at times, which made me as an audience member feel uncomfortable. I've seen interviews where Julien was asked very similar questions but because they were less direct and phrased differently, and after having established a bit of rapport with her, that interviewer didn't come off as prying. I feel like I'm just rephrasing what others have said, but that's how I felt watching this. It wasn't necessarily the questions, but the way they were delivered and the atmosphere of the interview that made me uncomfortable.

yes

you don't have to clarify, we understand

Same I think I was the only one.

You're never alone. I cried too

hey bestie..

donald, she doesn't like men

Did u not hear her? She’s a lesbian…

Probably for the same reason I’m really gutted Hayley Williams is “straight af.”

get yourself together and stop being a weirdo
