i think a lot of people are misunderstanding the sad girl thing. she doesn‘t want us/herself to not feel sadness anymore, she just doesn‘t want to be defined by that as an artist since her work shows many nuanced emotions that go beyond sadness.

[@Sexyfine3000]

I'm sure but the majority of her mainstream songs are pretty depressing & emo on a lyrical lvl as they're good. She can't really blame people for relating those vibes with her.

[@sophie4228]

@@Sexyfine3000 i dont think she is, she even laughed at the other depressed jokes the sad girl theme was often used to romantize being a sad girl pretty pics of crying girls and cringe depressing quotes went along with it in the past years and its good that thats over, it was a way for girls to talk about their feelings online and be understood but overall it never really helped anyone but rather ended in romantizing being sad and not wanting to get out of it im not sure whether this is exactly what she was referring to, but yea the sad girl thing is over and i hope it never comes up again mental health talks on the internet are a lot better now sry this got longer than it shouldve been lol

[@Sexyfine3000]

@@sophie4228 Well if it's romantizing being a sad girl then she probably didn't mean to do it but sort of unintentionally did it with her lyrics because they be sad af & sometimes romantic.. simultaneously. That's all I'm saying. I get your point though. Kind of dumb to romanticize being sad at least without discussion or effort to get better but hey I also understand feeling as it there is something wrong with you & it'll never get better. I feel it was just a way for hopeless people to have a lil self esteem & not completely hate themselves over depression. Like "yeah I'm suicidal but check the aesthetic 👉👈"

[@sophie4228]

@@Sexyfine3000 i totally agree the line between romantizing and being relatable is extremely thin and i don't think you can always classify something as bad bc it romantizes a bad thing, it's art after all mitski does do it sometimes and i love those kinds of songs tbh sometimes you don't want someone to tell you it gets better but feel understood from the complete opposite the sad girl thing itself was a whole movement tho it has existed for ages and even Shakespeare had pretty looking crying sad girls in tumblrs high years it often also came with a lot of privilege, since this whole aesthetic mainly centered around cishet white middle class women (not that those don't have problems but yk it wasn't exactly inclusive) what was seriously problematic is how these communitys held each other down and back from getting better while in today's internet and for example the mitski fandom it's ppl talking abt their trauma, mental illness or other issues with self awareness and normally a lot of actual information involved (a lot of these people also go to therapy and share that online) it's way less toxic then groups of sad girls were back then way more unaware and uneducated and sometimes it seemed like they weren't supposed to get better or find help since that would alienate them from this online community sorryyy this got kinda long i just thought abt this a few days ago and watched some videos on it lol

[@originalvisual3203]

Another thing i wanted to add is that a lot of her music is about being a woc in the US and the struggles that come with that (most apparent in songs like your best American girl). Diminishing her lyrics to just being about sadness/depression is kind of disrespectful to her experiences. Not to say you can’t empathize with her just because you’re white but there are layers to her songs that go beyond the sad girl thing.

[@ladlevi]

mitski referring to "I want you" as an old song and being mildly surprised people still listen to it is so funny because it's one of my all time favourites and i listen to it regularly LMAO
