Why JoJo Siwa's coming out is such a massively big deal




She is out as LGBTQ+, however.

"I think humans are really incredible people."

I still think she's an annoying little **** with this boomer ass take.

'"Today’s music that is being released is not music. It’s not true music,” she complains. “There’s no instruments that are being played in it. People have phenomenal vocals, but it’s not true music. Music back in the Eighties, Seventies, and Nineties, they didn’t have the technology, so they had to do real music. And they were musicians. They were incredible."'

Eh, she's not wrong in a sense. Toto emerged in L.A. in the late 70's and they are arguably the best session musicians of all time, along with guys like JR Robinson and Neil Stubenhaus. A lot of mainstream pop and R&B back then had some of the best players on Earth at one point who all contributed to the writing process. That's not as common today cause so many labels like to cut costs and technology is so different today compared to the recording process in the late analog / early digital years. Why pay Steve Lukather or Mike Landau for those sweet riffs when you can just emulate that **** in some DAW.

lol

well she’s 17 so...

ok - I mean she says she’s coming out as LGBTQ+ but when asked how she identifies she says “idk...wanna keep some things private...”

Doesn’t coming out by definition mean you’re making how you identify public?

Or maybe LGBTQ+ is specific enough. I don’t want to try to own her process of coming out but reading that for me was like wut

I think humans are really incredible people

I got the impression that she was trying to say she’s bi but who knows.

Those shots from when she was a prepubescent dancer on a reality show are hella creepy though. I’m surprised with all the **** that people object to that one still flies. If I were king I’d shut that 7 year olds in bikinis hip thrusting **** down. That **** is like serious yikes.

(Funny thing is though half the **** you recommend is **** she would say isn’t “music”)

Whatever medium you use you still have to use it better than everyone else or just win the lotto same as it ever was.
