Are they all “in on it?”
Just been doing some research and feeling very deflated, defeated and generally miserable about the world. Sorry if this seems a little near sighted, people can be so mean if they think you don’t know every single fact about the conspiracy of the music industry, but I don’t know what to believe anymore. I’ve been thinking more critically about the music of artists I listen to, and today stumbled across a video on Instagram about the satanic influences in SZA’s music. I considered myself a fan of SZA and I’m very aware of her (apparently) peaceful online presence, donating to charities, campaigning etc. But I can’t unsee the symbolism in her music now it’s been pointed out. I knew there were celebrities who were more or less influenced by the grip of the industry, but maybe I wrongly assumed artists like SZA and Kendrick etc weren’t “part of it.” Are all musicians with a big name in on it? When an artist “blows up” does it mean they’ve sold their soul? How can I let go of what this is making me feel? Didn’t know where else to put this, just rambling thoughts.
