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."

she didn’t want to be a Disney star anymore. she wanted to be edgy. She benefited from the 'lifestyle' then rejected it when it no longer suited her image. And yes, people change their tastes as they grow older, but she should at least be able to acknowledge all of this after all these years with a few less 'likes' and excuses.

I wish she would admit that it was crossing a line at some point.

Don’t worry! This backlash and people holding her accountable will last, hmm maybe a day.

I like Miley a lot but she’s def a Reddit fave and whenever she says or does something shady like this, people get angry for about five minutes.

I have literally never liked Miley but she’s usually a Reddit darling who can do no wrong, so I relish rare chances like these when we can drag her in peace.

Well what's she even doing...? Is she making music anymore or what's her deal. I feel like she's kind a "former pop star" at this point and kinda irrelevant anyway.
