      Me!! Nagulat ako natuloy yung concert. Nagulat din ako sa mga fans na nagpunta (based sa pics). Wasn’t expecting younger gen-Zs or alphas to be the demographic of that style of music.

      On a related note, ang ganda ng what constitutes as pop music today. It’s heavily influenced by 90s alternative rock and 2000s dreampop which were my jam growing up. Olivia Rodrigo, Maisie Peters, Lyn Lapid, mxmtoon, Girl in Red, beabadoobee, and so on. A far cry sa pop nung panahon ko that I still can’t get into… yung mga Britney Spears and all that crap.

        nakapunta ka ba sa concert niya? sayang sold out na nung nalaman ko parang 2 months ago pa lang wala na i think not just

        as for the demographic I think gen z would be a prime target cause she’s young relatable and represents an old form of music especially a far cry from the overstimulating rave and edm

          Nope. I don’t go to concerts. Well, isa pa lang sinadya ko (Explosions in the Sky) and the rest free sa mall (Cobra Starship, Twenty One Pilots, Walk The Moon). I prefer kasi to just stand/sit there and soak it all in, and that’s seen as a no-no in concerts wherein they expect you to drown out the performer by singing along and behaving like you have ADHD. Plus I hate crowds.

          Yeah makes sense kasi she’s young and entertaining, but musically jazz isn’t something kids would appreciate. I can’t even think of a modern interpretation of jazz na hindi niche. I remember 20 years ago, the closest comparison I could make to Laufey was Mika Nakashima and she wasn’t exactly a household name.
