Phoebe Bridgers - Stranger in the Alps (September 22, 2017) Album • Page 24

Can anyone tell me what it says? Twitter is blocked on this particular work pc

 

i've seen a bunch of people mention this actually on facebook hahaha

she did show up out of nowhere to record with ryan adams SOOOOOOOOOOO

 

hahaha

 

"@mariasherm: with a raise of your digital hand, who is on team "phoebe bridgers is an industry plant""

super not a fan of the take that if a young woman comes out of nowhere, she must not have done it on her own, kind of surprised to see it from Maria.

 

even more surprised to see @cwhit entertain the thought. I'm just going to give them the benefit of the thought and assume it was sarcasm.

 

Well that's incredibly insulting.

 

yeah, i didn't mean it seriously, most of the posts i've seen about it have been super halfassed about it and it's more just a funny thought than anything i genuinely take seriously.

just a bunch of DIY people that were like "whoa she came out of nowhere huh???"

 

I assumed she was being sarcastic?

 

as someone who works with a lot of young women trying to make it into the industry, I'm sorry if I don't see the humor in it.

 

yeah as i said i've seen a bunch of people saying it and it's always seemed like a sort of in joke going around the DIY scene more than an actual malicious concern so she probably saw that and took it more seriously without knowing, i know this is very unlike maria to say something like this

 

if it's so unlike her, why double down with that AWFUL 2nd tweet?

 

just because it's unlike someone to say things doesn't mean they don't actually say things accidentally problematic sometimes

 

gotcha

well it doesn't seem like someone worth bothering with.

 

queen Phoebe taking it in stride

 

as i said it's more just DIY people being like "whoa how can this person just show up and tour with ryan adams and then be sort of ushered into our scene one day" sort of pretention. not saying it's right but that's the mentality that's leading a bunch of these statements

 

well it's mostly factually wrong as Phoebe has been building up to this career since middle school. I mean obviously having ryan adams record with her helped, but whatever

 

Judging by Maria Sherman's last tweet she's just an all around shit starter

 

well yeah i'm not saying it's right but most people don't know most of that about her. like even her wikipedia page, the first thing is "she released her major label debut with ryan adams", then "she was on an iphone commercial" and some tv shows. diy people are very ethics driven in that regard

 

Was gonna say, she's been writing and performing forever.

 

nah in general she's a very good important member of the community

 

however on the topics of industry plants i definitely think superorganism is an industry plant band

 

Is she a person of note? My opinion based only on this tweet and her other replies is that she sucks

 

The idea of assuming any female musician/band member is an industry plant is just really gross and a terrible, terrible take
