I used to think his lyrics were profound, but when I saw K-12's lyrics, I realized they're very straightforward and lack imagination.

In "The Principal," he obviously criticizes Donald Trump, but he literally repeats throughout the entire song that he's bad, over and over again. Instead of giving valid or concrete reasons, the song feels superficial because of how repetitive it is.

Orange Juice, as the name suggests, is a song that metaphorically addresses eating disorders. My problem with the lyrics is that the message is based on "you are beautiful just the way you are," instead of developing the topic in a deeper way. It talks about stereotypical aspects of bulimia, but never explains why the protagonist has it or its consequences. She believes it's due to social pressure or the patriarchy. Melanie likes to include taboo topics in her albums, but her writing is very immature and outdated.

Strawberry Shortcake is kind of superficial because it only says that boys see girls as objects, but never delves into why they do it. It could have been a clever way to talk about patriarchy, obviously given the song's theme, but it doesn't. She writes in black and white, meaning someone is either bad or good, but she never explains why.

Teacher Pet, a song about pedophilia, the song seems like a Wattpad story and makes it seem like the girl is aware that she wants to be in this relationship, but she is manipulated without her knowing it and is taken advantage of. The title is inappropriate for such a dark, deep and disturbing concept, as "conscience" is misused. I don't understand why she sings it in such a sensual way.

Wheels on the bus, the authorities do nothing and pretend they don't know anything, explain the problematic attitudes, why?, I don't know, but it's the fault of the authorities.

According to her, "Class Fight" is a metaphor for the rivalry between women in the industry. Literally, in this song, Cry Baby falls in love with a guy who isn't hers, "she's a homewrecker," and she wants to portray Kelly as the bad guy or villain. The same thing happened with "Basic Bitch" in "Pacify Her," where supposedly the blue guy only wanted her for her body.

I used to think she was a profound songwriter because she tackled deep themes, but she does so superficially. She's very black and white; she doesn't explain in her songs why the characters she creates are always bad. Basically, the bad guy is either a monster or a poor, damaged, or corrupted victim.

You can be a bad person and be abused. She doesn't say anything from her personal perspective. As a lyricist, she should at least tell us her point of view on the themes she composes, but she always says the same things everyone else says about the topics she sings about: classism, homelessness, exploitation, etc.

She's very lukewarm and never delves into what she composes. She simply writes a bunch of songs and doesn't realize if they're good or not. Her critiques are empty; she doesn't say anything original because she's so lukewarm.

Basically, her fans think that because she writes profound songs, it makes her a good lyricist, and no, it's not worth writing profound songs if you don't know how to develop them well.

Percent K-12 is the least favorite album among fans, so I've seen it in the main sub and what do you think of this review, what rating do you give it?
