Everytime someone’s favorite artist blows up they find a way to gatekeep, it just hurts a lot when it’s based on hateful ideas that are directly saying we don’t want you here, you may be queer but not enough, anyways, that’s what it feels like to me as a bi woman :/ where am I supposed to fit if my own queer community doesn’t accept me, and even though I think those comments are just some pity ass stuff because they are afraid of overpriced tickets, it’s still shows a deeper issue on why a lot bi women end up with straight men specially now when most of the time our first contact with a community is trough the internet. (I’m not saying ending up with straight men is a bad thing, just to clarify)

I got introduced to Chappell from that video you did!! I’m so sure she’s gonna be my number one artist for this year now and could not be happier she loudly refused to be an advertisement for a guy who actually can’t find it in himself to not fund genocide, and is gung ho to shut down the border. But vote blue no matter who right?

A lot of queer artists have historically performed songs that are from a heterosexual pov bc that was the way to get radio play. So it could have been her label early on having her change lyrics slightly. I mean look at Elton John or George Michael. And like it was stated in the video, people’s sexuality can change as they age or become more comfortable with their own wants/needs.

I’m the straight boyfriend. I got Introduced to Pink Pony Club a couple years ago and I jam hard to that shit

I really hope Sophie Hunter blows up soon (STREAM CVNT NOW)! Also I really want Scene Queen to get the global recognition she deserves. I will also take a bet that Lauren Sanderson is on the rise and will hopefully blow up. There’s so many artists I want to be like “they deserve the world and they will get it I know it” I have to stop myself at these 3.

god bless

I wish so badly I had discovered her sooner. I live so close to Raleigh and her concert there is tomorrow, if I had known about her just a few weeks ago I would be able to go 😭

Wait, Chappell Roan is part of the 2/3 of Americans under 30 who disapprove of Biden and not the 1/3 who approve of him? What are the odds of that? But like seriously, I don’t understand how people keep being surprised that young people don’t like Biden. I’m glad she had the integrity to not let them use her to distract from their Bush administration larp.

an artist i think deserves more recognition is ricky montgomery even though his older music is so insanely popular his newer music is not as popular but it is definitely as good or even better than his old stuff. and i think they should be known for all their work rather than just a few songs he made years ago. great video by the way :3

PATRICIAAAAA!!!!

Is Conan Gray too big of an artist to be the one I hope blows up next? If he is, then I’ll go with Maisie Peters for my answer

nothing like being an lgbtq in florida and watching ppl say i shouldnt get to see her. it sucks lol thank u for that

We had this exact conversation almost 10 years ago in the publishing industry. Authors were being pressured not to include red states in their book tours due to rampantly increasing anti-trans laws cropping up in 2015, and it was as mind-bogglingly stupid then as it is now. Their queer readers?? Deserve to get their books signed and gather for community?? Fucking shocker!! The smaller bookstores they visited to attract more business also deserve a shot at making a profit?? Maybe these authors want to look their readers in the face in these oppressive areas and say “You fucking matter. You deserve to be here.” White liberal city queers care about anyone else in the community challenge: failed! Laughably!

cry

i live in louisville ky and was going to get tickets to louisville pride June 15th ($10 gen admission to the festival) but they sold out so fast bc chappel is performing and SO many ppl, even out of state, SWARMED to get $10 “chappel roan tickets”. it’s crazy bc every other year i’ve been, i either bought tickets day of or didn’t even need a ticket to enter. seniors also used to get free entry and it’s so sad to see so many old gays who were unaware of how insane it would be unable to even attend pride 😭 not mad at chappel for it ofc or even the festival planners bc no one knew she would have blown up so much before. but it is very sad so many ky gays can’t even go to their own pride bc so many ppl just saw it as a cheap chappel roan concert.

This is the only reason “underground” artists being popular makes me uncomfortable and upset because I just don’t want anything bad to happen to them. ❤

Soooo... That "cishet" guy might be a queer trans person and you just can't tell. Gatekeeping sucks so badly. And yeah, as a queer person living in a red state, I appreciate that not everyone has the insane idea that only people living in blue states deserve entertainment.

People really don’t have to be one sexuality or another to relate to GLB. For instance, as a transwoman, the song is very relatable. There are men who are so insecure about their attraction to transwomen that they like to keep their relationships a secret. Well, good luck babe. After hearing it, I teared up with joy and gave my husband a hug, because I finally met someone who didn’t treat me like his dirty secret.

Absolutely miserable hearing people frame Joe Biden’s passable opinions on queer people framed as THE BEST we’ve had. Literally true but by no means the way to measure a pro-lgbtq+ presidency

I am a cisgender man and a huuuuuge Chappell fan. Seen her twice now with my fiancé (who introduced me to her music last fall) and her crowds are the most loving, polite and fun people I’ve ever been around. Her concerts are truly one of a kind and I’m so grateful for the times I’ve seen her perform. I would hate for this “tweet” to actually become a thing because music is for everyone and Chappell’s shows are an all inclusive place for those who want to come out and have a good time. Thanks for making this video, great points!!

The very definition of desperately gay

You missed my (least) favourite new Chappell Roan discourse: Casual is about a man. Chappell Roan has written songs about men before like My Kink is Karma but she explicitly said about this song that it was a man in the music video because "it was only ever men who made her feel that way" so presumably, the same applies to Casual, which features a woman in the music video. It comes a lot from the idea that only men can be toxic, all men are toxic, and women are a paragon of morality or some shit and it really bothers me to see it, especially because they're wrong about Casual being about about a man.

Y’all really expected her, a woman who made her debut album about being midwestern and queer, to not perform for other midwestern queer people? Brainrot isn’t the word……

To answering the question at the end of the video: Charli XCX is going to have the best year of her life im calling it. brat is already the most critically acclaimed album of 2024 and she hasn't even gone on the Sweat tour yet. Hear my words Charli xcx is about to explode more than we've ever seen before.

chloexhalle for me 😄 when they make another album together

We gotta learn to just like music again. This fake discourse is just so 😅

The third argument doesn't make any sense to me. Like, if you are gonna protest, it's not the worst ideas to protest in states that need protest most?

EXCELLENTLY stated. Also like... Girl please. What has Joe Biden done for LGBT people that's so revolutionary? Said nice things? Like where is the actual reform and material assistance for the community that isn't just throwing money into an large NGO fire pit

allies are always welcome. im a bisexual man and nobody would care if i brought a straight gf to pride?? its literally just misogyny and hatred to bi women

Chappell Roan's terminally online gatekeeping noise feels like those Sabrina Carpenter news headlines saying, "I asked Gramarian to Explain 'Espresso' ", execpt it's giving legislation. The girl's got a job. LGBT+ is diverse & so are political identities. I don't think she's a phony, but I also don't want her to feel like she has to PROVE her lesbian identity nor has to become an LGBT+ martyr. Like yall, stop being weird. Just let her exist, please? It's the only way we can get cringe free music. I really like her, but I am lowkey afraid I might get jumped because I am a bi-woman, who so happened to marry a man, and likes to go to events with him to spend time together with our hard earned income. (This is based off my local area saying they specifically were trying to bring certain activism symbols and attack others for not agreeing with them.) I might gotta wait until Chappell starts touring more often or to when I can afford to travel more to see her in areas that offer confirmed seating, rather than GA.

She’s ok. I feel like she’s kind of a grifter. Not intentionally. It’s hard to explain

Pride events are for everyone including Allies! Just because someone isn't LGBTQ+ doesn't mean they can't celebrate with us!

My choice for “artist who needs to blow up” is Lily and Madeleine. They’re a sister duo who’ve been putting out albums since 2014 that range in genres from stripped back, rootsy folk rock to much more polished pop music. They only have about 100k monthly streams but need to be much more successful

why is that one singular tweet causing so much drama as if it's a mainstream opinion?? pretty sure it's just ragebait anyway

An artist I would like to blow up in the next few years is Precious Pepala she’s a queer 18 yearold black girl from the UK. She makes indie rock/pop music. She has a great voice and has the potential to be your next internet sad girl. Another artist that has already blown up but I wished got actually mainstream sucess is Conan Gray. But fame wise I think he is pass his prime but who knows maybe Conan can get even bigger.

The fact that this is the way I found out about Chapel Roan

10:28 sounds like racism to me lol

I’m a cisgender straight woman who has discovered Chappell roan’s music this year and I think she is a true example of a renaissance women and I still find myself singing pink pony club when I’m alone and to be honest, she has gotten me through this harsh year. In terms of artists blowing up I hope people like Becky G, Renee rapp, and Rina Sawayama will keep getting big this year.

Did not see that this was about the show, so my immediate thought was "Why wouldnt you be able to love infant reindeer? Theyre so cute??"

Great minds!

As a BTS fan I'll say that boy groups/ girl groups are mostly cursed but they don't have to be. I recommend a video called "how bts' teamwork makes the dream work (and why most boybands don't last)" she really goes into many of the issues with these types of groups and at times even addresses the fifth harmony issue as well

ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION: RINA SAWAYAMA. idc, not enough ppl enjoy rina and i need everyone on the same page so we can talk about how good the music is.

This is my first time learning of her. Her look reminds me of a mixture of Cyndi Lauper and Julie Brown. Not the British Downtown Julie Brown, the Earth Girls are Easy Julie Brown. Wait, you all probably have no idea who or what any of this. I’ll see myself out with the other old people. Love ya Kayla!

There's millions of ppl in America let alone the world ..this is one person and a few ppls response to that one person..yall need chill out n focus on ur own lives

THE VID IS HEREEEE YAY

Answering your question it's @nehmasis

rina sawayama needs to blow up like chappell and renee rapp (who I love) her 2020 album SAWAYAMA is perfect but she didn't get to tour bc covid. her second album hold the girl is beautiful and about healing ur inner child. she has stadium pop, metal, and country-sounding songs bc she leans into the emotion of the songs so no two songs ar e the same and its an experience!! XS is about consumerism and capitalism so its bubblegum pop-y , STFU is about her experience with racism and microaggressions and her anger she cant express so it is heavier/metal ish for example. she makes good pop music that has so many layers and shes is a great performer and person

Crazy how I bought tickets in March for her upcoming UK tour and they were only £25! Talk about great timing. They’ve since upgraded all the venues, although they’re still pretty small, and the resale tickets are going for £500 😧

as a chappell roan reddit lurker, i think it’s safe to say the people with bad takes are just pre frontal cortex not developed, children. anyways i hope glixen blows up this year. they have like less than 10 songs out but its so beautiful i want an album !!
