I think a lot of music that’s really innovative is not even considered because it was made by people who had a sexual image. And people assume that it’s a commodified thing, so it can’t be “indie.”
Lately I’ve been really into screaming a lot through delay [effects], having seven people on stage topless going crazy, stuff like that. Really in your face, but maybe more organic than choreographed dance moves.
It’s important for people not to feel like doing things that are immature, stuff you have to try out when you’re a teenager, is bad, per se. Demonizing it is one of the reasons it becomes such an issue.
When an artist, or whomever, moves from their scene to the bigger pond, it starts getting crazy, because all of a sudden people don’t respect you, and you have to start being a lot more aggressive than you would normally be.
In America there’s lot of cool cities, but in Canada there’s, like, well, Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax may be cool, but they’re so expensive. Montreal is the only city that’s affordable but also has buses and culture.
Obviously, I like things that are cute and aggressive at the same time, but I didn’t want it to just be mini-bangs and lip-syncing in a dress. I need to get away from that stuff.
I feel like gender lines are changing. A couple of years ago, it wasn’t nearly as OK for guys to like girly-sounding music. But all of a sudden a lot of my guys friends who would like have been really disdainful of female singers are way more accepting.
