Troye Sivan drags "Youth" and Charli XCX won't stand for it

[Jordan Miller]

Troye Sivan dragged one of his biggest songs, "Youth," calling it a bad song.

Charli XCX saw this drag and isn't having it. Get ha, Jade!

Not Troye shading his music like Miley does. 

Stream "Youth" for clear skin.

I agree with the fact that ‘Youth’ is not his best song... yet here we go again with musicians shading their music... it just makes them look so unauthentic... Looking at you Ariana trashing the beautiful masterpiece that ‘Touch It’ is. 

[Silhouette]

I feel like it's normal, for the artist it's not just a song, it's something they did. Have you ever found an essay you'd written a couple of years ago and cringed because of how badly written you think it is? We tend to be overly critical with ourselves, it's just human nature, besides that song came out when he was soooo young, it shouldn't surprise us that he doesn't like it anymore. Either way, it's still a bop like his whole discography 

[MoodRingney]

I’ve only listened to his Blue Neighbourhood album.

Youth slaps hard. Gtfo. 

[Urbanney]

Why do artists keep trashing their own work? 

[IUSM]

He could just stop performing it instead of dissing it.

[HoneyBooBoo]

He’s just being honest. I mean youth is his worst song ever imo.

Touch It is my favorite song on Dangerous Woman!

I think it's more a case of them not being able to relate to it now.

Think about how many times you've cringed at your older self.

Your songs are part of your older form, so I think it's only natural that you kinda hate it, because you're not at that place anymore.

It all so true yet, he did not has to shade it publicly. That may be the problem people has with artists shaming their work. It's part of their discography either way so  he has spent to much time with Ariana

I can see what you mean and I understand why people don't like when artists do that, but I personally find that it humanises them in a way. I don't know if it makes sense, but in my case I always love to hear a singer's opinion on their work, whether it's positive or negative, and I think it's really interesting when they speak about their older stuff because they're able to reflect about it from another perspective, and even give a more sincere opinion because when you're promoting new music you're obviously going to say that it's great, even if you think it's not 

[ShatteredGlass98]

Can artists stop bloody trashing their own work?! Embrace your past work, be proud of it, respect its place in your discography... stop trying to be edgy or self-deprecating to be cool or a martyr. It's so irritating.

Youth is literally one of about five Troye Sivan songs that I actually like. You tell him Charli 

[Trentals]

Hmm I mean, I kinda get it.

The Blue Neighbourhood album is flawless imo. It’s like a young gay mans diary of coming to terms with his sexuality and understanding the world around him. He’s now an adult and is comfortable with himself. I can see why he may not wish to revisit those songs and isn’t much of a fan of them. Maybe.

If he ever drags Heaven though, boy I’ll ignore the lockdown and come straight to Melbourne and kick your ***  

[Blackout2006]

Why u guys making jabs of him not liking his song nnn  Dont u cringe at your younger self projects and essays? take a chill

[breathe_on_me_toxic]

Its his absolute best! love C XCX for standing behind it

[bas che]

Isn’t it his most successful song though? Honestly I loved his older work from 2015 more than his recent stuff.

Suburbia ♥️

Wow, great point! I have never think about it like that ever before. Many thanks for broadening my perspective. 

[Invitation]

Youth is objectively not a bad song though. 

[bitbitboi]

Charli knows best.
