Miley Cyrus has a big family and her siblings all want to be stars, Noah Cyrus especially. To me, Noah might be the peak of nepotism – she doesn’t have a good singing voice, she can’t dance and she has no It Factor. But through Miley’s connections, Noah is still being pushed on us. Last year, Noah “performed” at the MTV Movie Awards in what was one of the most uncomfortable moments of any awards show, ever. It would have been cute if Noah was just having fun with some friends at home. But she was on stage at an awards show and I was embarrassed for her. Noah keeps trying though, and she has a new EP full of “emo” music (lol), and an interview in the L’Officiel to promote it. Some highlights:
Her music is emo now: Cyrus lets it slip that, well, she kinda identifies as emo. Receipts? She once DJ’d an emo night in Los Angeles. “Yeah, this next series of my art and my music is going to be an exploration of a more ‘emo’ side for sure. I think that probably stems from growing up with Trace Cyrus in my house because he was the king of emo.”
What her EP is about: “This EP is mostly just about how my emotions have been, and about my anxiety, and about how I’ve been struggling with depression, and how it’s okay to feel those feelings. A lot of people like to judge you, and make fun of you on the Internet, and people make you feel crazy whenever you’re in a depression or having anxiety or having a panic attack. It’s about that and being sad and having your emotions and not being able to ignore the feelings you’re having.”
Her vice: “Oh my go-o-od! Chili Fritos. Chili Cheese—it’s my favorite. I’m gonna go get some right now. So yum. I sit around and eat junk food all the time.”
Is there a difference between “people making fun of you on the internet” versus “people on the internet commenting about how an awards-show performance was really terrible”? I think there is a difference. So many of these youngsters believe that every time they’re being artistically criticized or poorly reviewed, that’s the same thing as being personally bullied or whatever.
Here’s her single… it’s not good, but it’s nowhere near as bad as it could have been. Mostly, it just feels really amateurish, which is weird because you know the Cyrus family spent major money to make this happen. And… this isn’t emo.
