Miley Cyrus: the "Younger Now" era wasn't as dreamy as it appeared

[Mary Jane Holland]

She reminds me of Gaga how she is a chameleon musically. I feel like Younger Now was her Joanne phase and it works cuz it’s still pop at the end of the day. She probably just doesn’t know how to explain herself and just bashes herself as a defense mechanism.

Born this way. : I am going to produce the best album of the century (lol what about the fame and the fame monster ep - they were produced in this century too). and basicly the whole joanne and a star is born concept dicredites the rest of her catalog

Okay but I don't see how that's her ****ting on her old music. She hasn't explicitly said 'oh I don't really think The Fame is what people wanted from me' or 'oh I don't really like The Fame that much anymore'.

i think somewhere there a quotes we it sounds like it. but to busy with other stuff to look for them. and i dont care that much about it haha

I love the songs Younger Now and Malibu. It was a cool and different direction.

I don't understand why artists are beginning to not appreciate their old work, it bothers me to a certain extent... There are still dedicated fans who really like their old work. It's one thing for an artist to not perform their older work, but to question them? There's no reason an artist would have to discredit their old material. Seems like young artists just want to state something, but I don't really know what that is... The old me is dead?

 

I really like "Younger Now," old Miley was coming back, and in my opinion, the album was more focused on the lyrical content. That era may not reflect who Cyrus is today, but it did show a side of her that she wanted to present.

Dang all these ppl coming out the woodwork for Younger Now...

the lack of taste 🥱
 

edit: downvote me all U want. The GP upvoted when they didn’t buy the album.

[TSmidnighTS]

BRB, going to go buy the Younger Now album on vinyl since she'll never perform it ever again and it will turn into her "lost" album  

[MyLittlePopstar]

I get what she’s saying, I don’t feel like she “trashed” that era. She’s just saying it doesn’t really fit with her other eras. She’s not saying it’s bad, but when you look at that era, following Can’t Be Tamed, Bangerz, and Dead Petz, were progressively wilder and more rauncy/over the top than the last. It does seem like maybe she felt pressure to take it back a notch. Maybe from Liam, her label/manager, or even the voice, from what I remember she was a judge on that show at the time. She didnt say she hated it or it was bad, just that it didn’t make sense. And it didn’t really seem like her “brand”/image at that point. Doesn’t mean she can’t have different styles/sides to her. But maybe Liam or someone else behind the scenes really pushed her to be more more “respectable” or conservative since she was a married woman at that point. Idk, that’s what I get from how she said it. I still love Malibu, Rainbowland, Younger Now, and several of the other songs from the album. 
 

the only thing I think is problematic about this is that you wonder what’s actually an authentic era for Miley since she kinda shaded Bangerz too and a lot of her other work/eras.

Dead Petz is the only era she didn’t diss, right?

(& for good reason ❤️)

I absolutely HATE when artists shades their past works... I bet theres a TON of people who LOVE that album and this speech (probably) its a bummer for them.

I HAAAAAAATED when Britney said by the very end of "live in Miami" that she never really liked that song [Sometimes] anyway.

You dont say that! SOMETIMES is a CUUUUUUUTE POP BOP! The video... her look... the dance moves...

She said it as a gag in her show that ONE time like 15 years ago and yall will not let it go

[Britney'sBish]

It's always in poor taste when artists diss their past work, but in this particular instance she's not wrong.

Madonna dissing Sorry and Ariana shading Touch It & Breathin' is blasphemous. Miley I can agree with in regards to Younger Now.

I was just playing silly... chill 

She should say that about "chillin with u" and I would NOT MIND AT AAAAAAAAALL.
I cant stand the EXISTANCE of that song... gosh

Younger Now is not as bad as people make it to be. I really, really love Week Without You. Bad Mood is also nice.

So am I stupid or gullible for having believed in that Miley? To me that was real. Those lyrics get straight to my heart.
I understand what she means about being too focused on Liam rather than herself and her craft, and that not being healthy, but I don't think it's wise disguising yourself in an over the top public persona either. Her in "Malibu" seemed relaxed and fresh... How "lost" could she had been in such a moment??

[frederiickx]

Another era, another bashing of the last album from Miley.

Younger Now sucked but "Malibu" was a bop.

[bas che]

I wasn’t a huge fan of her sound nor her aesthetic in that era. Bangerz on the other hand is her absolute best body of work imo.

[DearBritney00]

Younger Now is still my fave Miley album. I get her comment. Songs like Miss You So Much, Week Without You, Bad Mood, Love Someone could all be about Liam but in a way that he did a little thing that bothered Miley and she wrote a song to let her feelings go. A relationship is not always happy. Taylor had some sad songs on Lover that showed some low moments in her relationship with Joe and that's what makes it more real for me.

[JSDSandiego]

It’s an annoying habit of Miley to diss the “old her” and to rebrand. But I love everything she puts out. The Dead Pets was her worst era so far but I keep 3-4 songs on my playlists still. I Stan her “Miley is Coming” EP the most tho ❤️💙
