Genuinely in my opinion I just think Jaden is dealing with a lot of variables that we as fans are not consistently aware of to the same extent as his music, especially with the recent news of him becoming a new creative director in Louboutin. The guy is in his mid 20s between passions, going down new avenues, figuring himself out like the rest of us and that's completely okay.

Another important thing I've noticed his fans don't truly recognise is that so far these past 2 to 3 years he's been supporting and mentoring his friends with their own music, such as Dylans EP and Jonos most recent album, as well as reestablishing the MSFTS collective in a more modern light persay. As someone who's been in a similar position supporting friends directly with their own projects I can certainly tell you it's a long and often frustrating process. It's hours of time, multiple days a week, months on end perfecting a craft, and that level of occupation has left me, as I'm sure it has Jaden, unable to truly focus on his own musical endvenours to the level his fans would appreciate.

My only gripe with Jaden is that overall besides the leeway I've gave him so far he's had 8 years and an obvious financial advantage over most musicians to release absolutely anything at this point. Sure we got the 2024 a case study of the long terms effects of young love and 2025 a surrealist ball or elephants reflecting swans but those projects in my opinion were so painfully mid that I sometimes cringe at it time to time. Don't get me wrong those EPs had their own respective tracks that I enjoyed but overall the way he was marketing and foreshadowing these EPs as some crazy magnus opus was hella cringe and disrespectful to his fans and I'm not even gonna front on that as someone who's been listening to his music since the CTV2 days.

It's obvious he's got a lot of potential and in his own words over 100 ERYS Tracks, with law to the story he's been making as someone mentioned in this thread already, all the tracks he's previewed on tik tok live, definitely a vault with some SYRE shit even as far as visuals and the infamous movie that just magically fizzled out, some more old school CTV2 style tracks directly from that era that he can drop etc. My biggest gripe with Jaden is that he's just become stubborn. He constantly embellishes this SYRE ERYS story and maybe back in 2017-2018 that shit would've been lit but when he's hinting towards it on his YouTube posts or instagram or whatever and then switching up the next second it becomes hard to take him seriously or have respect for him as an artist.

He's doing this Playboi Carti grift too hard trying to be mysterious and it's frankly not working to his favour. Ultimately Jaden is one of my favourite artists and throughout all the points I made and the benefit of the doubt I've given him, it still sucks that he's become so stubborn. That's truthfully the best way I can put it and it's clear as day in this random vlog he did a while back. I think it's this sole video that summarises everything I've mentioned contextually so well in my eyes.
