i feel horrible for such a take but I genuinely wanted to hear people's opinions on this because while I know this is just the beginning of her career, seeing people gawk and go crazy over everything she does is just.. ehh? Her music style isn't anything new, its cunty pop with a sprinkle of vulnerability and thats fine but I dont find it as unique and as special as so many people are saying. It just feels like the basic package of stuff and yes its cunty but its not iconic. I also just dont like how anytime i talk about this with people, they try to say that 'oh but shes from Slovakia and she made it this far' to try to throw away my entire opinion and its like sure, fine, but come on, i can think someone's good or okay without thinking its revolutionary. It's not motherquake, its just quake.

Edit: I also think maybe some of my feelings come from how shes portrayed as an underdog and is like all of us and came from nowhere and made this life for herself but I find that genuinely so hard to believe from the deepest place of respect. I'm Polish and I dont think in a million years an ordinary lower middle class girl like me can make it to the world stage like she has without some sort of help and push and money. I also just find it hard to trust that and in turn like it

Ps. I'm lich Polish so this isn't me trying to hate on my fellow c. european 😭

I (19F) live in a uni accommodation with mpy roommate (19F). We have our own bedrooms but share a bathroom.

My roommate has curly hair, and while i understand how much work that is, its just all too much when we have a singular bathroom.

Like she'll shower and wash her hair, and then be in the bathroom for ages afterwards doing the rest of it. I don't actually know the whole routine but there are like 7 bottles lined up around the sink at any given time and idc abt it as long as its kept neat.

My problem is we only have ONE bathroom. I'm not exaggerating when I say sometimes I need to pee and I'm standing outside the bathroom waiting for her to finish her hair. And it's not even always that I always rlly need the bathroom.

Sometimes I just want to brush my teeth or wash my face or my hands and I can't because she's in there with the door locked for another 45 minutes.

The other day I had an 9am lecture and was already running late because I couldn't get into the bathroom. I HAVE asked her if she could maybe do the styling part and drying part in her bedroom once she's finished showering.

I'm not saying she can't wash her hair in the bathroom because obviously where else is she supposed to do that?

But she said she can't because her hair needs to be wet so it drips water everywhere and she doesn't want her bedroom floor getting wet.

I suggested putting a towel down. She said the towel would get soaked. Also said she could just sit on her bed with another towel over her shoulders while she does what she needs to and she said she needs the mirror.

And at this point I honestly don't know what solution she wants me to come up with 😭

She says the bathroom is the logical place to do her hair because there's a mirror, a sink, ventilation, etc. Which I understand. But I also feel like the bathroom being the logical place for her doesn't mean she gets to occupy our only bathroom for an hour and a half.

I've tried bringing it up nicely because I don't actually dislike her. She's a nice roommate otherwise. We watch TV together sometimes and we've even gone out for food a couple of times.

I don't want this to turn into one of those horrible roommate situations where we're passive aggressive for the rest of the year but I'm getting genuinely frustrated.

I'm really not trying to be insensitive abt her hair bc I know she can't just magically make curly hair take five minutes, and I don't want her to feel like she has to stop looking after it.

But at the same time it's a shared bathroom for a reason and i don't think it's crazy to expect that both people should actually be able to use it.
