I’m certain my least memorable song will be remembered more fondly and for more time than anything you ever do with your life will be. Everything you say is more “whiny” and “edgy” than I was at any point on that album. But at least I had the excuse of going through chemo.

Most annoying thing about the Halsey stans and defenders is their demand that she is entitled to reverence because of her admittedly harrowing struggles. But, and this is important, if you’re going to channel your pain and trauma into art, the art still has to be…good.

Anthony Fantano calls himself "the most relevant and impactful music critic” in response to Halsey (via Variety): “I don’t have to prove my track record to Halsey. I have been the most relevant and impactful music critic of my — and any — generation for over 10 years now. You can’t really debate that. There’s no music critic bigger than me who’s had more impact than me for as long as I have, consistently. And if I die tomorrow, nobody’s going to outdo that run.” (variety.com/2026/music/new…)


Throwback to when Anthony Fantano started victim blaming Poppy when she opened up about her abuse. She delved into the things her abuser said and did to her. She quoted him directly and this low effort illiterate idiot framed it as her being the abuser.

Who cares he gave a bad review? I care that a pay for clicks reaction YouTuber can facade as a pro critic and say it’s “main character syndrome” for an artist to lament her medical suffering on an album (surprise!) about her own life. He’s a raised-by-4chan edgelord bully. Yuck.


halsey joining the olivia hate train just because a music critic praised her and interviewed her… these “artists” claim to support women until it’s a younger woman being successful and critically acclaimed.

Music critic Anthony Fantano speaks to Variety after being slammed by Halsey: “We’re talking about a two-year-old review here where I’ve remained mostly silent on the reception of the review, despite the fact that Halsey and her fans, for the duration of that time, have pushed the narrative that I disliked the album — or said in my assessment of the album that there was a ‘self-centeredness’ about it — because she was sick. That I specifically attacked this album and tore it apart because there’s some cartoonishly evil characteristic about me that somehow just singled this album out because of who she is or the illness that she suffered during that time in her life that inspired the record, which couldn’t be further from the truth... I’m not the devil himself for not enjoying this album. On top of that, it has nothing to do with Halsey being a woman. There are countless women whose projects I’ve championed over the years. I have no problem with enjoying and supporting the work of women, especially women who address serious issues in their work." variety.com/2026/music/new…
