I don't like how much this fanbase ‘flanderizes’ the band.
We all like to talk about how sad and depressing CSH is, and it sure is, but I think only acknowledging that part is kind of reductive. Like, why does nobody talks about how funny some songs are (America, You're in Love with Me, Open-Mouthed Boy)? Why does nobody talk about how enjoyable I Wanna Sweat and Death at the Movies are? I feel like Will’s writing is so much more than just sad music. And even the sad music is a lot more nuanced than people make it out to be. Like some of the songs off Twin Fantasy, as an example. Sure, they’re sad when in the context of the album, but songs like Bodys and Cute Thing are also really fun when taken into consideration alone (which at least with Bodys is something Will planned on) and I’m so tired of people only talking about Sober to Death as a toxic lovesong, as I feel that removes a lot of what’s really interesting about it (I feel like the song can simultaneously be sweet and romsntic and have toxic elements). End of rant. Don’t flanderize Will Toledo!
