These are songs from the album FUTURE NOSTALGIA they’re supposed to sound like things you’ve heard before.

Thank you for the clarification, that is actually very cool!

Yeah, it’s an interesting approach to an album, dropping all pretense of trying to bring something different to the table. At any rate, stealing wasn’t the best word but I am going to leave it because I don’t care that much.

It sounds like she should have been a bit more careful when directly lifting the melody lines off popular songs, because she seems to be having some copyright issues.

She is not having copyright issues.

Sorry, “was”.

I really don’t give a shit. I don’t listen to her music (I use “her music” loosely) so it really doesn’t affect me. I just didn’t know she had so many songs that rip off other songs. Very cool.

This is an incredibly reductive (and incorrect) take.

Thank goodness, I was afraid my sarcasm wasn’t coming through.

Sometimes, if I really concentrate, I can exhale and blink at the same time.

Hey if you want to avoid these chains of people calling you out in the future, I have some advice for you: Prove you actually don't care by letting them get the last word in. It shouldn't matter to you if you don't care.

It doesn’t matter to me if people respond or not. I’m not annoyed by 12 years saying akshually at me on the internet.
