Cavetown didn’t “fall off”
a lot of the shift in how people talk about him is just people dropping interest when he’s no longer being flattened into a “soft kawaii sad boy” aesthetic. He's a grown man now, he should be allowed to enjoy that however he feels it is fit.
And it’s worth calling out: when trans masc artists get reduced to aesthetics like that, it often overlaps with subtle transphobia, where they’re only embraced as long as they feel “cute” “soft” or "non-threatening smol boi's"
The moment they grow, change sound, or stop fitting that expectation, people act like they’ve declined instead of just being a grown person making art.
You can dislike the newer direction of an artist, but framing it as “falling off” when it’s really just “not catering to a fetishized image anymore” is where it gets messy. Just sayin
