Charli XCX, like many women in the music industry, works very hard and she is tired of being underestimated.

She peaked with "boom clap". What the fuck does she mean with "Industry God"? I-

[cbluechicken]

Boom Clap is awful

[gumby]

it was so fucking flat. i can't believe it became as popular as it did.

She’s been getting a lot of critical praise with her recent music. She’s not mainstream anymore but I don’t think she’s trying to be.

theres a festival in my country that has just defending its largely white male line up with 'there just aren't enough female acts'/'women should pick up a guitar'. so fucking infuriating

[therearewords]

Not enough female acts? Not enough female acts? N-

[qaladriel]

it truly is an appeal to the lowest common denominator of man. and these are the same men who will claim they have a vast range of taste in music bc they don't listen to mainstream pop. a white boy with a guitar is considered more worthy than a female act of any sort. and it's the same shite every year

She’s always complaining about something on Twitter and then being like “but its fine tho guys lol” own it or keep it to your journal

Music industry god is taking it a bit far...do people really care if you're an exec producer on a Netflix show? Also, why is "hits" in quotation marks? Lol

I'm sure behind the scenes, like any industry, it's gonna be a lot tougher for women to gain respect; I don't doubt her there.
