i feel like the 'not every song has to be directly about the songwriter's lived experience' thing has gotten twisted into 'if you write autobiographical songs they are inherently less artful and good' and it's soooo annoying like yes some (in fact, the majority imo) of the up and coming artists you see trying to make it on tiktok are terrible lyricists. and either they will grow and learn or they won't but i have seen several instances of ppl weaponizing this neutral thing against (you guessed it) young women and girls specifically to discredit their talent and i hateeeeeee it.

So, I cannot show support to Palestine at my university (flyers for protest, the colors and the flag, you get it...) because it's "encouraging violence and antisemitism" but when my university was tagged with antisemitic symbols, they did NOTHING. When the students union was targeted with threat of violence and their office was destroyed, covered with neo-nazis symbols, they did NOTHING.
The Neo-Nazis student association (which has been multiple times reported for their hate-crimes) were distributing flyers at the entrance yesterday WITHOUT ANY ISSUES, because they support Israel.

“I’d like to play you another song about suicidal depression. It’s about – if you are a certain type of person – me – . . . uh, you hear about somebody who did something horrible and drastic and you feel bad, but there’s a part of you that goes, ‘what, that’s, now I know, now I recognize my kind, because he did that.’ So this is about a guy who did a terrible thing and he couldn’t live with the memory of it, and so he went and did a worse thing, and it’s called ‘Cry for Judas.’”
- John Darnielle, frontman of the Mountain Goats
