Halsey is an American pop artist and songwriter who got big off of her hit, “New Americana” that spent 17 weeks on the Billboard chart. Halsey has some decent music with her 2014 EP, Room 93 and her album Badlands that was released in 2015 and her recent release the Hopeless Fountain Kingdom in 2017.
Listen to some of her best songs here:
Although she does have good music that is typically pop based, something feels so off with her. I want to like her as a person but I just can’t based off of how condescending and ignorant she is. She claims to be someone who has their third eye completely opened but is using all her “differences” to market to teenagers which is hypocritical and goes against everything she stands for. She is basically a walking contradiction and almost everyone can see through it because she isn’t good at hiding it.
She thinks she’s the best thing to ever happen since sliced beard
Watch her talk on any interview, she thinks she is the second coming of Christ because she is bisexual. How different and creative, girlfriend. She says things out of her ass that come back to bite her. Then she has to make public statements that what she said isn’t what she meant. Really because it seems like you’re only making a statement because of the negative backlash. So condescending.
“TRI-BI”
Speaking of talking out of your ass, in an interview she claimed to be “tri-bi” because she is biracial, bisexual and has bipolar disorder. How ignorant. First of all, she is not special for being bisexual, which annoys the crap out of me. No one is more interesting for liking the same sex and the people who believe that they are probably have nothing else interesting about themselves. Not only does she think she’s cool, she uses her sexuality to market herself by appealing to a gay crowd to the point where I think she’s literally lying about her sexuality. Then contradicts herself by saying that she would never do that, and then has multiple videos of her half naked kissing girls.
Then she goes and wants to label herself as bi-polar like it is something to be proud of. She shouldn’t be romanticizing mental illness because that is extremely toxic and makes people actually want to have a disorder in order to be “cool.” Also, you shouldn’t let your struggle become your identity- HALSEY. Then she is biracial like ok cool, I’m here for the music. She now claims to hate that label because it makes her look stupid, which she is for even saying it in the first place.
She claims to be alternative?
Halsey constantly claims to be alternative or alt-rock based on her looks but every single song she puts out is pop. Also not only is it pop, but it’s generic pop. She is trying to be different and convince us she is, but she isn’t. Yes, the way she dresses can be seen as alternative but that does not correlate to her music style. You can’t just claim you are alternative when you put out trash songs like this:
She is Tumblr vomit
Her look and attitude are ripped off from Tumblr to the point where you can point out that her whole stage persona is completely manufactured. She wants to appeal to the social justice warrior side of Tumblr that is open about sexuality, politics, and feminism. It almost seems like she is reading from a script to create this stage persona.
It doesn’t seem genuine at all and it is just pathetic to see her trying this hard and still fail. She thinks she is going to be the next pop icon but I am sure she is going to fade out soon, and hopefully fast. I can’t stand this condescending poser and I want to listen to a singer who isn’t going to blatantly lie to their fans for publicity.
