I swear to god the producers of Stranger Things have a lot to answer for, for creating this epidemic of Billy Hargrove looking poser freaks

Watched the Brian may collab and this happened:

Little brother: “he looks like Billy from stranger things”

Mom: “yeah”

Thank you so much for this I’ve recently realized how much I hate this guy after seeing him on the Grammys . His vibe is atrocious and he represents something so desperate and depressing about the way conservative people have relationships with art. I fucking hate this guy.

laughing at the idea of someone’s mom googling benson boone, finding this article, taking your suggestions to heart and immediately jumping ship from benson boone to adrianne lenker

The nightman reference made me cackle. This reminds me of that girl's tik tok that talks about how you can always tell when a man is wearing excessive amounts of rings performatively, or when it's his true spirit.

my younger sister (10yo) and her friends love him just because hes attractive. they barely care for the music. unfortunately thats his audience, people who just listen to the radio and kids who dont have a developed music taste.

In the same vein i feel similarly about Tyla and Manneskin. They each had one song go tiktok viral, should have accepted the virality and stopped there. Benson Boone's beautiful things is like nails on a chalkboard, i cannot stand any form of scream-singing I don't understand how he's made it this far 😠

Ending on that Curtis Connor note was just ‘Benson Boone flips off a piano and lands in the splits’-level unexpected yet entertaining

Thank you! And none of his Harry-styles knock off spangle suits ever seem to fit correctly, he looks uncomfortable
