[@swilliams5554]

OH MY GOD I just realised something. I have goosebumps. At 3:38 when he says “I just don’t know how to leave them you know” he begins to get up and TAKE THE SCARF OFF! That’s representative of Conrad getting out of the car because he didn’t want to go through with it! Literally the hairs on my arms are standing to attention. And then for that awesome instrumental portion afterwards, “Michelle” has a *really* satisfied look on her face as the actor for Conrad begins to fall down to the floor again. Amazing. How many times I’ve listened to this song and watched this video and I haven’t caught that until now. Edit: I also reckon the part where she screams I love you now die at the end is when Michelle pretends she’s sad.

[@RatPunkGirl]

I'm a survivor of someone trying to do this very thing to me back in high school, and suppressed the memories of it until pretty recently. He believed that she really loved him and that this was the best thing for him. I think what saved me is I called her an hour after I took the pills and told her what I did. She sounded really annoyed when she said, "Well, go to the hospital." Thinking back, she knew there'd be a phone record...

[@Bakuraisahottie]

Hopefully you let this person go and is no longer in your life. I had a similar occurrence myself, and it nearly drove me to suicide multiple times. People like that have absolutely no business or say so in your life, and don't deserve to be around if all they're going to do is coax you into being so miserable that the only thing that'll give you any sort of relief is just dying from your own hands.

pfft, "her sins". This is actually the weakest and least interesting topic and character out of the band's videos yet. "Her sin" is that they both were edgy teenagers with mental issues and both of them were on psychiatric medication and both of them had suicidal tendencies, so, like, what's so special about this? A suicidal girl urged a suicidal guy to commit suicide and he commits it... what a surprise. Meanwhile such character like Gertrude Baniszewski exists (she was a babysitter who convinced 10-15 year old kids to torture and murder a girl called Sylvia Likens that she was supposed to look after for several months, and forced Sylvia's own sister to take part in systematic several month-long torture)

Everything SKYND produced I knew nothing about other then maybe a name or two. I looked into the stuff after hearing SKYND's material. This is art, and should be supported.

I’ve struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts since my teens and if I turned to someone to voice how I was feeling and they pushed me to do it the way she did with Conrad, I wouldn’t be here. Thankfully, I had people in my life that actually cared about me. Poor Conrad wasn’t so lucky.

[@kam-lw4ez]

Also, I imagine it to be quite grating after some time to deal with someone who keeps going on and on and on about wanting to commit suicide and then chickening out at the last moment. Especially when you're not mentally well yourself. Who knows how many times he'd done that before. Maybe she really did think death would be the better option. Maybe she did try getting him help before but he refused. We don't know everything. What she did was wrong, yes, but she's not some evil being to me. I honestly kind of get where she might have been coming from.

@@kam-lw4ez EXACTLY!!! Honestly I’m shocked that this girl has more haters than most ACTUAL cold-blooded murderers. When I was in high school my best friend was the only one I opened up to about wanting to cease my existence, so she was supportive and she found these left over pills for seizures that I could OD on because I told her that if that was an option that’s how I’d go. I she gave me them and told me if I really felt like I couldn’t go on she understood and I could at least go with dignity. Although I decided not to take the pills and that was over 6 years ago I’m really not upset at all at that friend because she understood that sometimes true “help” is to not try to prolong the suffering. It honestly makes me upset that if I had killed myself that friend probably would’ve been painted as some sort of monster by the media

I love how Skynd's makeup in each video represents something about the crime. In the video for Tyler Hadley, it was a big "NO" and a big clown like smile, representing the triggers/motives for his actions. (He was restricted by his parents and then went for the crazy freedom of a party). In this one, it's entire white, no black lipstick or anything. My interpretation of it is that Michelle thought she was innocent and pure because she didn't get her hands dirty. Plus it adds to the overall foggyness that is of the form of death that Conrad suffered.

If you think SKYND is glorifying the evil, you must have zero comprehension skills or a lack of understanding the message that they are trying to get across. It's life, you can literally lose it at any second. There is much to be learned from every case. It's not hard at all to be a good person.

[@thekween9037]

Michelle Carter was released last year and will be off probation next year. I wonder if she sees this video, will it make her feel like she is a monster reviled by society / what she did was wrong, or will she see this as an anthem to take power in. I love SKYND but I think it's interesting to think about how the perps themselves would view art and music about them today. SKYND is not the first band or artistic project to do something like this.

SKYND shines a light on many crimes that otherwise would be forgotten. She brings the victims to life and gives them a place, a meaning. I really don't know how to explain it. She brings the emotional and pain through art and dance. She is a genius, and I can't go a day without listening to them. I will say I have a favorite but I love them all. Chris Watts hits different though. Different style, I think because it was children She has the tone set different. It made me tear up...males me tear up every time I listen.

[@XxEvilghostxX1]

This one hits really hard. I didn't watch the HBO documentary beforehand so I did a bit of research and I stumbled upon the texts transcripts and it broke my heart... She was obsessed with "helping" him end his life. Everyday they talked, she tried to push him... The sick thing is, she claimed she loved him and wouldn't ever leave him while trying to convince him to commit suicide. The poor guy was desperate and he died thinking at least his girlfriend cared about him. I probably wouldn't be there anymore if it weren't for my girlfriend that somehow managed to make me want to live again. And it breaks my heart to see such a grim and twisted version of what I've lived.

[@briannenoel3892]

Something I find extremely disturbing about the text is “it’ll take 20 minutes” “you keep pushing it off” sounds as casual as he’s been putting off getting milk from the corner store. Skynd of course highlights that with their amazing production.

[@corinnae.7877]

Ikr, like it's an everyday thing. Also manipulation with the "pushing it off". And giving safety "it'll take 20 minutes", it's easy, fast and "painless". She knew what she did. Reduced sentences due to good behaviour need to vanish, they are rubbish.

Michelle honestly is a victim. His parents are to blame. He suicide baited her for years. She gave in because of the emotional abuse. You can say why didnt she leave. She clearly loved him, she turned mental because emotional abuse. Crazy behavior like that just doesnt come out of no where. His father and mother checked out completely. His mother even KNEW where the suicide site was and his father beat him. There is way more to this case, what she said was horrible. But honestly she is a victim. Circle of abuse.
