i HATE when people call listening to mitski ‘self harm’
recently on tiktok i keep seeing people being like ‘relapsed on mitski’ or ‘listening to mitski is self harm’ and i get its a joke but its weird. Mitski has the ability to write the most heart wrenching topics so beautifully but people never seem to appreciate the beauty of it, on tiktok its always about the sad parts of it which of course is a huge part but comparing her music to ‘self harm’ just because its sad is kind of crazy it seems insulting and waters down what her music is as something shallow and sad. not to mention self harm and relapsing are very real things and putting the words out their so casually can be so harmful especially considering the community mitski has. idk this was just a rant maybe im the one friend thats to woke or wtv but i was curious on other peoples views lol
