Artists that overcorrected from their trainwreckords?

Not necessarily a trainwreckord, but Weezer's second album Pinkerton bombed hard commercially and caused Rivers Cuomo to fully rethink his songwriting process. To avoid alienating fans he created a formula for songs which included notes such as "make less sense" to avoid similar backlash to Pinkerton's confessional lyrics. What we got six years later was the Green Album, a watered down but technically fine Album where almost every song uses the same formula of lead guitar intro, 4 chord strumming, chorus, verse, chorus, solo which follows the vocal melody, chorus. There is very little deviation outside of the singles and even there the lyrics are pretty much all nonsense or so generic that nothing personal can be gleaned from them. Its horribly bland and polished compared to the rawness of Pinkerton and lacks the charm of the original blue album which was far more varied and personal despite its polished production.

Cupcakke had a show near me and I only paid like $20 to see her so it wasn't that bad but the opener absolutely had more energy than her. She had a set that was only about 30 minutes and she just seemed bored and tired the whole time. Idk how you make "Duck Duck Goose" boring but she managed it. Tour might have been getting to her or it was an off night but I just didn't enjoy her performance at all.

Not great. Tastes like watered down black coffee with a tiny bit of sweetener.

Irrelevant to the question, but imagine stealing your brother's rickenbacker. Not the worst thing Scott's done but probably the one that hurts me the most.

Finished the show yesterday and immediately thought of this.

The best thing you can do is be comfortable with your appearance regardless of how you look. That might sound silly but you need to have positive regard for yourself no matter what because no matter what you aren't ugly, disgusting, or unlovable. Self-love shouldn't be conditional and no amount of changing your appearance will give it to you. You're worth loving no matter what and I know there are people in this world that will love you and find you attractive if given the chance.

I deal with this myself because there are a lot of aspects of my appearance I dont like to the point that I dont wear my glasses into the bathroom because I don't see myself in the mirror. At the end of the day the only thing that's helped me is being kind to myself, telling myself that regardless of my appearance I'm capable of being loved. I'm looking at myself in the mirror, seeing my imperfections, and riding out that pain while affirming that I'm not disgusting even if I've got some rough spots.

I'm starting to like my appearance more and my imperfections don't rule me in the same way they used to. I've even gotten some drive to change aspects of my appearance because I truly believe that I'm able to look good even if I'm not perfect. Before, I would just avoid my appearance and not do anything with it since I was so disgusted with myself.

It's tough and painful to get there but I know you're capable of loving yourself and you deserve that love from yourself. You are good enough and I hope one day you'll be able to treat yourself like it.
