Expanding further on the public perspective of folk-pop and more specifically the public perspective of women in folk-pop, Alex notes the double standard(s) that women can experience when it comes to their sound and songwriting. “I don’t know, it’s like a consistent problem,” she begins. “I feel like in music–and any type of art–women’s opinion and women’s [emotions] can be looked at as laughter art. You look at women that write music about their love life and a lot of time they’re painted in this picture of being mediocre or a clinger. But if you look at a guy, it’s considered more heartfelt. But I feel like we’re finally in that space now with all the different movements within feminism going on where that type of idealization is getting a little less predominant. It’s really nice.” #AlexWeksler #AirEP #FolkPop #Music #Teenplicity 📷: Karly Cronin (@karlyshoots) http://teenplicity.com/meet-alex-weksler/ https://www.instagram.com/p/Br-xJVcDtZZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d498gizk5dy7
