music Your thoughts of Miley's new image and direction

[Motion Spark 7,807]

So I know it's been years since Miley Cyrus has been the subject of several scandals, but after lot's of time of being under the radar, she's coming back to the music industry with a 360 degrees new changed image, I know she shaved her hair off several months ago. But I'm kinda curious to know, what are your thoughts of her as of now, especially since her new music video is out "We can't stop"

It kind of bug me when people say that she's not a role model for her fanbase, promoting slutiness and the abuse of drugs, sex and alcohol. I see from where they are coming from, these ignorants still believe that she is still Hanna Montana. They talk on a way that they believed that she was trully the character that she was meant to be in that show, and that her real life was the same as hers. 

 

While it's true that she made a huge fanbase around young girls, she can't be 14yo forever and ever, she's fucking 20 for fucks sake, she can do whatever she wants with her image and her music, it's her problem.

 

Now what I think about her now? well, I'll never support drugs, but well whatever, I think that she looks fantastic and really hot, I mean, she's just not skinny but really toned, and her body looks awesome, I really like her haircut and the new rock punk image that she wants to pull off. Her slutty image is a little bit to vulgar for me, but I think that, maybe she always wanted to be like this, but due her being disney's image it wasn't possible for her to be the "slut" that she always wanted to be.

This is the real Miley and she gets hate because people still compare her to Hanna Montana.

 

While this never happened with Rihanna, she started off in the industry at 17yo being sexy and slutty from scratch, and you see that she doesn't get that much hate for being the way that she is because she didn't had an "innocent" past per se, so while I don't fully support Miley's decisions I think that she's ok and she does look really good. That's all I have, I've got nothing to learn from her, and if I do, I'll pick what do I think it's possitive.

Judgement is a powerful tool, but you should apply it to yourself instead of others and you'll know what would be good or bad to do in certain situations, and that's what her fanbase should know about, to have their own judgement and enjoy her music or her looks because it's good and don't follow literally everything that she does, because I'm sure that she doesn't want to be a role model for little girls, she just wants to speak her mind.

 

Anyways, what do you think of Miley now?

[Champion RD92 8,658]

I really don't like her new hairstyle...at all...

 

I used to think she was pretty cute though honestly. 

 

Like I think she looks kinda hot in this video to be honest.

Miley Cyrus could get a punk haircut for all I care, but that doesn't change my views of her. What I care about when it comes to an artist is the goddamn music. I have no respect for artists focuses more on being a slutty model who sings about alcohol and parties than making quality music with meaning.

 

To sum it up, Miley Cyrus was a slutty disney slave before, and she still is. Nothing has changed

[Moog the Kvlt 1,460]

to be honest I really don't care too much about what mainstream pop stars are up to today, none of them (Miley Cyrus) included promote shit, they just make music for the masses and give themselves the image of a superstar, that's all.

[Esk 201]

I don't see why it matters any. She's a former Disney pop princess who wanted to become more slutty and scandalous as her career went on. She's succeeded at both of those things at this point, and she's cashing in on her fanbase of teenage girls.

[Scootalove 10,689]

My thoughts on Miley can be summed up like this, I could care less about how Miley got success by promoting the things that young teenagers would follow in her footsteps no matter what she says. Disney used her as a slave so, she hasn't changed at all. The only thing that changed about her, was the addition of her slutty new look and causing drama. Anyway, I don't really care about her.

[Shanks 10,816]

I didn't care about her back then and still don't now, she is just another example of the celebrity infotainment culture where people are famous just for being famous.

I agree with you, I don't care much about the artist's personal life if the music that they make is either good or bad.

what if she always wanted to be a "slut" but wasn't allowed to?

she was cute, now she's hot

[Shadow Link 29]

I don't appreciate being called ignorant because of my views.

 

I do think she is a bad role model, but I can understand why you're angry that people like me think so (assuming you're a fan). I don't think I'm angry with just her, I'm angry at all of the other pop stars that do crap like this. That's why our generation is doing what they are, I'm saying this as a fourteen year old girl, because the music they hear is all about having sex and boobs. No love melodies at all; the songs that aren't about drugs, and rather 'love' basically say they love the other for their body or the way they have sex with them.

 

I kinda' went on a tangent here. I'm annoyed with Miley, but not because she used to be Hannah Montana, I'm just annoyed that she's joining in this whole fiasco.

 

I never liked Hannah Montana, so it's not like I'm some nostalgic jerk.

why people think that being called ignorant it's an insult? I admit that I'm ignorant of many things because I don't know about them.

I'm gonna explain why I say that. Exactly for that "role model" issue, the fact is that she is a horrible role model, but the thing here is that she doesn't want to be a role model or at least she doesn't seem too, she looks like a girl that just want to have a good time and express her sexualism(?) at easy and speak her mind freely, if that so, I see nothing bad about it, she's free to decide if she wants to be a famous slut.

My problem is that people moan saying that she's giving a bad example not only to young girls, but society in general, while I trully think that every person should find their own judgement and act based on their belief instead of blindly follow Miley because she says so, and if the young girls are too young to comprehend, you! be a parent a raise your child and be responsible for them, you can't blame Miley if your children becomes a slut, if she's doesn't even trying to be "that" image anymore.

 

see my point? I'm not a fan of Miley's but I think that she's ok, I didn't like the song but it grew on me and it's really catchy. Good for her

I can see where you're coming from, bro. But as you said; the majority of Miley's fandom is comprised of girls my age. And what do girls my age do? Follow trends. Most teenage girls, at least, that I have seen follow the new 'let's look sexy' trend, and I have to say I was even convinced to follow it myself, but I decided it wasn't right from me.

 

If you can see what I'm saying, most girls my age are very influenced by bigger, popular people. I'm not saying Miley is going to make thousands of girls lose their virginity, since some girls actually have their own opinions, but she, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and others are definately pushing most of the swaggy-girls towards it.

girls by nature tend to be girly, flirty and a little bit slutty, when I say slutty it doesn't mean to be sluts. Not at all, just know, things like having these girls night out, or flirting with guys, or the typical duck face picture.

My thing is that if Miley, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj wants all to be sluts and appear in their videos like one, who are us to judge them it's their brand, and their life and apparently it works.

You sound like a wiser girl among your peers without poop in their heads, instead of Miley, which I should add is a grown up woman, you should give the example, but let's be realistic here, she can move more masses than both of us together haha!

The real thing here is how these girls were raised, at the age of 15 they should know that having sex and doing drugs is bad, it's common sense, and it's not fair for pop stars to be nuns because they have to be parenting their fanbase.

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364]

Oh dear... a Miley Cyrus thread... She can have the "punk" look for all I care but she'll never be punk. Oh and don't even get me started on the pictures of her wearing an Iron Maiden shirt. If you're going to wear a band shirt, you wear it because you like that band. Not for the sakes of fashion.

I hated Miley with an incredible passion 5 years ago, but that has died off. I still don't like her, though. This so-called "new image" she has doesn't change my opinion of her at all. Her work consists of little to no quality that compliments her poor judgement skills.

[Moon Rat 4,772]

I'll be honest with you, I kinda miss the more innocent side of Miley back when she had the Hanna Montana gig however, I guess one could say that she had to grow out of it sometime...

 

I'm just not sure why people like her end up going to drugs and crap like that I mean yeah, society and stuff but still...

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I really kinda don't support this new direction she's taking...

To me, it kinda looks ugly, but that's just my opinion

[TasteTheRainboom 82]

I used to like her songs till she turned into the new Brtiney Spears and became a slut. Her song keep getting worse and her atitude even worse then the songs. I can't really like a song if i don't like the artist to begin with....

[Gone for good 1,593]

You see I really want to say that she shouldn't be doing these things because she works for Disney and is a rolemodel for children blah blah blah... but at the same time, I think she's done with Disney and quite honestly just because she plays a character for children doesn't mean that she has to be that character all the time.

 

I really don't know what to feel. The music video I watched was interesting and I kind of liked it but the music was meh imo. 

[DJRainbowDash 724]

The only thing that I can say, is that she is kinda hot and I dig the short hair she has. Otherwise, she is still stuck in a phase where she is doing everything she can to attract as much attention as possible, explaining the appearance, the odd obsession with twerking, the music, the videos, etc. 

 

Her music is god awful, and will probably remain this way. 

[Motion Spark 7,807]

@, wait, so in your words, there is no way possible that she can wear an iron maden's shirt because she's not a fan? so she can't wear it because it looks good on her? and besides, how do we know or not know that she likes or dislike their music?

[Zygen 6,066]

Eh, I don't really think I like her new image exactly, but eh I didn't really follow her closely or anything before.

 

Although I liked the way she looked before I think. A bit better. Just a bit to out there I guess, maybe I'm just use to the old her, she looks nothing like she did anymore to me.

 

As for her music, I've not really heard any of her stuff much so idk. .

Another testament that Darwins theory of Evolution is Completely wrong. Because man didn't come from apes... man is slowly becoming an ape! I hate the fact that people are so glued into the mainstream media that they think it's status quo and they basically run around like a bunch of headless corpses that jumps on the nearest person or thing it bumps into. so, when it comes to her image... it's gonna breed a whole new generation of little girls as young as maybe 5, dressing like porn stars. the worse is yet to come society, but you seem to want it... i hope you're happy that your daughters are learning how to lower themselves to sexual charged eye candy for creeps that'll either ruin them further if not turn them into mince meat in a field or on a sidewalk!

 

well, enjoy drinking your kool-aid, society, and smile as your sense of dignity and decency gets sucked into a hole called primeval stupidity!

Uhhhmm yes. You're supposed to wear a band shirt to show that you're a fan of a band. And by fan I mean someone who's familiar with a band's discography and/or members of that band. Let's be honest, I doubt Miley here has listened to Powerslave or Piece of Mind in their entirety.

Then again, anything can be expected. I remember reading about how Demi Lovato is actually a pretty big fan of metal. She mentioned Dr. Acula, Lamb of God, and Devil Wears Prada in some interview a few years ago.

"doubt" is key word in your statement, implying that you're not certain that she is in fact, fan of the band. But anyways, she can wear any shirt she wants because she wants, what you're saying is out of context

[FadedSkies 1,874]

If someone were to tell me that Miley was the Hannah Montana i wouldnt believe them. I mean she has good music i especially like "We can't stop" but i only listen to the audio version because the music video is too disturbing. She doesnt have to act like a big sl*t. Im not hating and she could do whatever she wants but i dont think this is the right direction.
