If the writer’s experience of Harry Styles was their projection, 16 years is a long time to process that Harry Styles was essentially a corporate creation rather than a creator. I mean in the sense that there has been abundant accumulation of facts showing that when Harry has a choice, he choose to copy someone else, and when he is given a choice of values, he will always choose siding with power and wealth. Without fail. He chooses Ticketmaster over his fans. When he donated to charity, he chose to use fans’ money to do it. He chose datamining over fan privacy. He chooses friends with Zionist connections rather than his peers, his ex-bandmates. He chose a manager that enabled the Live Nation monopoly, and profits from it. He invests with Azoff. When he built his lifestyle brand, Harry chose to use poor materials to reap a premium profit, and he chose to sell sex toys to possibly underage fans. He chose to fuck his movie director rather than be a professional on set, for his critical first leading man role.
That was evident in 2013 and it’s evident now, so why did it take so long? Willful blindness? Marketing? Peer pressure?
This blog has existed for a decade. I’m wondering what was the straw that broke the camel’s back, what snapped someone out of being supportive of Harry’s shell of a persona. Was it the hair? The price gouging for the new tour?
