TRYING TO STAN PENELOPE SCOTT!

[@WitherGirlGaming]

Fun fact: Penelope said the original name for "rät" was "Elongated Muskrat".

[@milesbabcock1204]

fun fact! Selmer's Train in rät is a reference to Night In The Woods, about a poem in the game talking about the character Selmers wanting to take a bus or train to Silicon Valley and burning it down :)

[@ewitsluna1891]

@@milesbabcock1204 fun fact! for context, the lyric was 'and i hope someday selmers rides her fucking train', meaning she hopes she takes a train to silicon valley to do what she wanted to do :)

[@aidenmortensen3666]

anyone wanna explain because i know literally nothing about colonizing the stars are and what the elon musk stuff is about

[@WitherGirlGaming]

@@aidenmortensen3666 Elon Musk is a multi-billionaire that made his money by creating several tech based companies, such as Space X (rockets) and Tesla (electric cars). At the start, he seemed a very cool guy with an insane work ethic (check out Boyinaband's video on him for this), but recently he's more known for making stupid memes on twitter (such as the branded Flamethrowers mentioned in the song) and kind of just...not caring. He was/is a big inspiration to a lot of people, but he's showing his true colours of being just as greedy and self-obsessed as other billionaires, all the while perpetuating the idea that the technology and Computer Science industries are for everyone (even though Musk himself came from a family that literally owned emerald mines in Africa). So this song is about how Penelope Scott believed in Musk and wanted to be like him, but slowly realised that he is just as corrupt as everyone else - and if he wants to go to the stars it isn't to push humanity forward, but to 'colonise' them, take all the resources and just make himself richer. This is obviously not the full story and I encourage you to do your own research, but I hope it answers some of your questions :)

Penelope Scott is constantly vibe checking herself in like every song. I love Cigarette Ahegao because it feels like she's having a break down but desperately trying to pretend everything is okay. Hiding behind memes and smiles but she's cracking underneath.

[@rockassassin64]

really good interpretation

[@alildaisy2180]

Never thought of it that way, I always thought of it like a “high-functioning breakdown”, like she’s having a breakdown perpetually as she’s burning out and continuing to work even though she’s already burnt out (this is me lately so I’m probably projecting my own life onto it, but that’s what music is for right?). I do feel like all of that is hidden behind the distorted rebellious music, with lots of twists and turns, sort of showing everyone that somethings wrong as a way of pretending that she’s fine, if that makes sense(probably not but whatever) But I really like that way of thinking about it tho, I’ll listen to it that way next time!

[@gvnlessktchn]

So that’s why I relate to that song so much... Also I’ve heard people say it screams gifted kid burnout, soooo

[@amidalaprin4846]

The kinda loose genre I fit her and other artists like her into is just "broken rock", much much more modern takes on rock, hip-hop, techno and other genres, mixing instruments and normal sounds, plus layer vocals often times in order to convey pure, utter fury at the world, the way it is and that *nothing* is being done about it, that we aren't rioting in the streets over the evils being done to us with nothing to stop them, other than the government that they already buy and pay for.

I'm a high school sophomore and I had "Cigarette Ahegao" stuck in my head for months especially in finals cuz everytime I got a low grade at a test or forgot to turn in something and said "fuck" under my breath I hummed the song.

One thing that I really like about Penelope Scott is how blunt she is; there's no real misinterpreting her. She basically walks out and says "Today I'm singing about peoples' obsessions with serial killers and why I totally get it, but also find it fucking disgusting when they get idolized as masterminds" or "I had a terrible break up and had a depressive episode that I have no interest in recovering from, I know you've all been there too."

Can you do trying to stan Peach Pit Songs: -Black licorice -Seventeen -Peach Pit -Shampoo Bottles -Drop the Guillotine

[@mateod1112]

Yes but also Alrighty Aphrodite bc it introduced me to them

[@RadioGlitches]

@@mateod1112 hell yeah that was my comfort song for way too long. It should definitely be included.

Aaaaye hell yeah! I just left a comment suggesting Peach Pit for TTS !!!!

[@nourd5041]

"and i'm not your protagonist i'm not even my own" felt this for sure

[@nerderiffic8682]

theres a line in ciggarette aheago that really hits me. "I don't smoke, i just like how it smells." it really reminds me of checking yourself before you reach something "too self destructive", when in reality you're still doing self destructive behaviours but not realising how bad it is because you can just say "oh i haven't done (insert thing here) yet so im fine" for the pov character of the song, it was hanging around smokers (presumably secondhand smoking too) but not actually smoking herself because that would mean admitting they're too far gone.

[@sophiachen958]

you should listen to clairo! -sofia -pretty girl -bubble gum -bags -softly

[@MissMommy0514]

You are now a legal Penelope Scott stan.

[@thethirdbill]

Thank you! *sips lukewarm coffee*

[@kiwi327]

I noticed that you really like songs with a deeper meaning. So I really recommend Sleeping At Last and their album Atlas: Enneagram. One, Two, Four, Eight and Nine are really good from that album.

[@Xxth3_murder5cenexX]

[@honeyhoney6920]

I'm so glad you're reacting to her! I discovered her in the last autumn and she's truly phenomenal; she really helped us get through 2020 haha. I only hope she becomes more famous and that she keeps on creating such lovely songs!

[@jeremywaygay]

I really recommend Trying To Stan Fiona Apple, her lyrics can be so witty and she’s been so underrated for so long. “Not About Love” “Criminal” “Every single night” “Paper bag” are some great ones!

[@kylier1973]

[@theredgamer8723]

Thanks for the excuse to listen to more of her music! Penelope Scott’s great. Also could you do trying to stan Set It Off?

[@michaelshelley03]

N.M.E and crutch I rlly like

[@sapphicfairie]

If you ever want to revisit her, here are some songs I recommend 🥺: Dead girls Lukewarm Feel better Lotta true crime Moonsickness

[@tiredlittlemoon776]

God, Penelope is my main comfort artist, and seeing a different perspective sort of changed how I viewed the songs you listened to. I’ve always seen a lot of my own thoughts in Sweet Hibiscus Tea and American Healthcare and so on so it was cool to hear what you thought of these songs on the first listen. I think it could be cool for you to do The Oh Hellos though! I’ve seen a few people recommend them. Love the video, can’t wait to see more from you Bill :)

[@beaincell6839]

MY HEART RATE WHEN I SAW THIS ON M RECOMENDATION WENT 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈

[@quinnmoreno653]

bruh i love Penelope Scott i found her on tik tok when she first started writing sweet hibiscus tea and only had like 2000 followers, and i remember her always asking us (her followers) what we thought and actually taking it into consideration for the final product, she actually cares about what her fans think and i just think shes amazing.

[@bee9892]

if you do a part 2 listen to: - mommy fwend - feel better - dead girls (it’s unreleased but you can find it) - montreal

[@phe_galaxy8722]

Hi, I think it would be really cool if you could try to stan Bo Burnham, He is a comedy musician whos songs usually have a complicated meaning

Love the style of reviews it feels so much more real and honest not just saying what every one on Twitter or other reviews are saying just your raw honest first impression of the artist please do more I recommend checking out rare Americans next they do really well made songs with good animation to them that have a story to them and a good morel message

[@whitepearlreaper]

Something I really like in Born2Run is also with "people are in pain *what's wrong with you*" it isn't simply a "have empathy" point, it's being PISSED when people refuse to and putting your foot down and saying no. No more.

[@tiny--]

If you were to do a part two I'd recommend: Lotta true crime Feel better Montreal Mommy Fwiend Baxter 3rd is Under Fucking Siege :))
