Sometimes i lowkey wish Charli died so she'd finally get the respect she deserves
That’s the only way it happens. death is the fastest path to canonization in this industry. look at Amy, look at Kurt, look at Tupac, Look at Mac. Alive you’re "niche" ,dead you’re untouchable. i don’t want her gone. i would break if she was. but sometimes i sit here and idk man…
I’m just sitting here listening to Party 4 U on repeat and it hits different tonight.charli’s already done everything. she shifted culture like three times before most people even noticed. but you still see people call her “underrated” in 2025 like it’s a compliment. like it’s cute. it’s not cute. it’s insulting.and yeah i know this sounds dark but sometimes my brain goes there anyway: the only artists who ever got the flowers they actually deserved got them at the funeral.xxxtentacion was getting dragged every other week when he was alive. the day he died ? suddenly he’s a misunderstood poet, every song 10x platinum, murals everywhere.
juice wrld dropped two of the biggest albums of the last decade after he was gone.
and yeah i'm gonna say it but sometimes i lowkey wish she just died like imagine the streams ? it would be skyrocketing to billions overnight, every playlist blasting her nonstop, documentaries popping up on netflix about her genius, a biopic with some A-list star playing her and winning oscars, she'd be tranding topic all year and she'd be #1 on every chart.
Even pop smoke one project out and people acted like he reinvented new york drill overnight once the casket closed.it’s predictable at this point. the algorithm loves a dead person.if charli was gone tomorrow the narrative would flip in 24 hours flat. brat would be “the most important pop album of the century.” apple would push a black and lime memorial banner. pitchfork would retroactively give every album a 10. every stan account that called her mid would delete and rebrand as dau ones. she’d trend for months. not weeks, months.and the sickest part? we all know it would happen. nobody can even pretend it wouldn’t.i don’t want that to be the only way she gets her respect. i really don’t. but when i see how the world moves… it feels like the only way that’s guaranteed.that thought keeps me up sometimes. hate that it does.
i love charli more than anything in the world. like actually. she’s the only one who ever made sense to me.but lets be real, she’s never gonna get what she deserves while she’s breathing
