Doja Cat, Lizzo, and the Death of Artistic Standards
from 165 - Please Come Kill Us · #165
2 min
Tim plays Doja Cat's 'Juicy' and mocks modern pop songwriting, riffing with Ray about Lizzo, Juilliard musicians, and the idea that art today is just submission to whatever the culture pushes as "the new weird."
- Doja Cat does 'Juicy,' and Tim questions why Juilliard students studying music must be mentally ill.
- Lizzo's talented and can sing, but Tim has no investment in judging whether modern music is actually good or bad.
- Tim finds it funny that people still strive to be good at things in the current climate, when most art feels like forced submission to outside powers.
- Modern art is just the establishment shoving content at people and demanding they accept it as the new standard.
