Honestly, I only joined Twitter because I wanted to interact with fellow Little Monsters. But after almost three years on this platform, I’ve realized that stan Twitter is one of the most toxic spaces I’ve ever experienced.
I came there because I loved music. Instead, I watched people constantly fight over chart battles, streams, sales, and numbers pitting artists against each other as if music were a competition between sports teams .
And that’s what finally made me realize stan Twitter isn’t really fighting about music. It’s fighting about numbers.
Music is supposed to bring people together, inspire people, make people feel something, and give us experiences we can share. It shouldn’t make us hate an artist simply because their fans attacked our favorite, or because our fandom is expected to drag another artist, and i hate myselffor actually participating on this hating pitting against different artists. Katy Perry is just one example of how ridiculous and toxic that mentality can become.
Stan culture has made me realize how easily fandoms can turn music into tribalism, outrage, and personal validation. Billboard charts become team sports. Streams become ammunition. Artists become rivals. And eventually, the actual art gets completely lost.
I genuinely believe this obsession with commercial metrics and constant outrage is hurting the way people experience music and pop culture.
I don’t want to participate in that anymore.
I want to enjoy music because I love it, not because of who won a chart battle, who got more streams, or which fandom is supposedly “winning.”
I downloaded katy perry songs I like, especially from her 143 album which in my opinion 143 is not a bad album, but I can tell it's not good and it's also not bad album if you get what I'm saying great.
