[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe we got this far and Olivia Rodrigo hasn't been mentioned I can't stand her music. It's so whiny and he voice is like nails on a chalkboard.[/quote] I feel similarly. But I'm in my 40s. Her gift is expressing the super intense emotions of girls in their teens (and early 20s?) in an authentic and relatable way. Similar to Taylor Swift. 12-22 year olds are a HUGE target audience for pop music. And their life experience is driven in so many ways by intense (and confusing) emotions. Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift are truly gifted at tapping into that - crafting stories and phrases that resonate with many. Reminds me in some ways of the Cure, Depeche Mode, and similar bands back in my day. And EMO rock in the 80s. It's less about the musicality than the feelings. The insecure, brooding, mercurial, itensity of teens and young adults. [/quote]
