I think some folks have trouble with the surface level reaction to Bo Burnham but here's a trick someone conveyed perfectly to me: he's not disaffected ironic music internet man, he's hyperactive depressed theater kid.

He's highly overrated navalgazing novelty child.

ok I guess? absolutely disagree, obviously, but also anyone coming at anything from the point of view of "overrated" is not exactly a good way to engage.

I saw his name everywhere, watched the show and thought it derivative and overly self-regarding. Full of cheap gimmicks like "let's hold this shot on me for an absurd amount of time" and potshot humour at boring targets. Fey edgelord humour. A parrot would have helped enliven it.

Look, man, I dunno. Whatever you think you're criticizing her you're just slapping a whole lot of complex, interesting stuff out of the way to it and I worry you're kinda just showing your whole ass. I'd take a second with it. The edgelord categorization particularly.

I can't take away your first reaction. But the whole swath of people and critics who are responding to it aren't responding to it because we're idiots. There's a reason.
