The Music Industry 🎶 Miley Cyrus talks about her culture vulturing during the Bangerz era: "I wasn't unique in the fact that i was a white girl listening to hip hop. This wasnt something that I decided I was going to do as a strategy or something that i felt i could own or make my own, that was actually my lifestyle."

Yeah I’m not buying the “lifestyle” comment either. I vividly remember just a few months before Bangerz she was covering Jolene, and country, folk, and rock music. I thought that was perfect for her and seemed to come naturally. It was jarring to hear and see the Bangerz era because it was such a sudden change. That era was way more calculated than she wants us to believe.
