@@TVHEAD69-247YES!!!!!! I bought portals a few month ago and bought scarlet last week and it got delivered. Those albums really spoke to me. Especially "light shower" and "agora hills"
I looked WAY too deep into the 'mommy's okay' line, I viewed it as that mask that women have to put on when they are experiencing negative emotions because it has been taboo for them to express those things publicly but she was just talking to her dog. 💀
@@yakopc6600 Exactly, since the stereotype is women are emotional therefore not logical therefore must not be taken serious leads to women having to put on a mask to be taken seriously
@@michipeachy69 I get that, also, that's not what the original comment said. They said women mask being a-ok because its taboo to show negative emotions, if they meant "women mask being ok because the stereotype of being overtly emotional will make others dismiss their problems" they could have typed that I hate generalising on a whole demographic, I hate to talk about stereotypes.
You Make Me Sick came out around the time my boyfriend dumped me thru a text and basically told me I wasn’t important enough. So I really really needed that song at that time
imma same but like everything in this song like litearlly described the guy i was talking to and i was just like…. it’s not the first time ashnikko dropped a song after a break up she’s litearlly my spirirt
I'm happy that the music helped y'all, it's not for me personally but music and artistic expression in any form is the best and cheapest form of therapy imo and always has been. All the best to you guys. 🖤
Every song on this album is a banger. I can’t imagine how amazing it would’ve been to have this kind of music when I was a teenager. But even as an adult I can see myself in a lot of her music and a lot of it just in a fantasy kind of way which is fun too. The lyrics are just so catchy and perfect ugh I can’t get over it.
Honestly I adored this album, I went to the weedkiller concert yesterday. You could feel how much passion they put into this album, I connected strongly to the message of finding community, and connection, Dying star has a special place in my heart.
You make me sick helped me get through a terrible event in my life. While raging out feelings it still gave strength to push through. Love love Ashnikko!!!
same! TMI for some but i went through a horrible hook up experience which was my very first aswell and this song really helped me vent all the rage out
I saw them a few days ago in cologne germany, and when I tell the show was incredible! I took quite a few videos but genuenly the camera could not transfer how hype the actual experience was, the best 40€ I've spend
I need Ash and Melanie to do a collab!! Imagine Melanie Martinez’s soft and sweet energy paired with Ashnikko’s hard/rough femme rage… best of both worlds!

I already loved Ashnikko but I’m even more impressed after this interview. She is so well spoken, educated, and confident in expressing herself. A great role model for this generation ❤
Ashnikko genuinely speaks to my whole soul, my entire being😭🖤 their music has always helped me and continues to but they word it so well that I feel like they know me and I think so many people connect with what she's saying and this album and her as an artist is genuinely helping more people than they know, even with the songs that "seem silly" to some.
She is easily on my top list of artists and I know she will stay on it for a long time or forever if possible. Worms is my favorite song of Ash 🪱 She is so raw, badass and a genius in every way. I'm horrible at explaining how I feel about her but I can't get enough of her artistry. She's insane and I honestly wish her the best moving forward.
Thank you for making this, my partner and I listened to it on a long drive and paused after she finished talking about each track to listen to the track with a new perspective. I thought I'd already had my main time being into this album, but this video revitalized that and made it even stronger TBH. Also gave me new perspective and appreciation about some of the songs and helped me connect with them more.
Want it All about loving being alive is so satisfying to me because when I heard want it all I immediately FELT the love of life and the greediness of wanting it all
I love everything about this album. I just love the world that Ashnikko has created for herself through her music, creativity and passion. I saw her in Philly and Ive never been to a concert where almost the entire crowd screamed the words to every song. It was electric. You can just feel how she has affected everyone who listens to her music. I cant wait to see what she does next!! ❤
You make me sick really helped me channeling rage when I was feeling into that freeze, avoidant trauma response after abuse. That’s why I love her music, because not everybody is able to channel and process emotions and situations but this really helped me standing up for myself and giving myself some justice. Love you Ashnikko
i just love ashnikko so much. I listen to all of her albums and know every song by heart and all her songs just have such a strong meaning and shes just so genuine and I love it.
I feel so blessed and lucky to listen to the process and ideas behind the songs I've become obsessed with. This album is so so cool and sad and powerful and cinematic. I adore this music.
This is such a fascinating interview! I wish it came out earlier, it would have been so helpful. I did a visual art analysis of the WEEDKILLER world on my channel. But this interview is giving me even *more* food for thought ❤
Ash, if you did write a manga or make a film, based off of your music, I know everyone would love and relate too it. You so descriptive and creative, I know whatever you make is gonna be amazing 💙🌀
It’s so crazy because Ash says she based Chokehold Cherry Python on many people including Jinx and I would assume she means from League Of Legends. That’s immediately who I thought of when I heard the song
What a fantastic interview! As I was listening to the album I really got the sense of this whole world and I started to envision it. The album has inspired me to write a story based on the visuals I had. And then to hear that her process is basically that, blew me away a bit. I love Ashnikko and everything about this album. Thank you for the interview and the brilliant album! ❤
I recently had someone follow me home (I live with 7 other people, including a 3yo) and it was petrifying and truly like a horror movie, but listening to this album has helped me work through the fear and anger that came with me wanting to go out the next day (Still in tears at that point btw) and hunt that arrogant fifty some year old man who forced me to feel so violent. He still lives in my town wit his big boy twuck and I worry I'll see him again, but I just have to remind myself that everything that happened that night was not preventable by me and that man is the only one to blame for his own foul behavior.
First time listening to Ashnikko speak about her music and I love her. She’s very different and I like that. She feels unique and refreshing. I’d love to spend an afternoon hanging with her. ❤
Love that Ash is just open about not knowing what they don’t know. So many people try to have all the facts, and that’s okay if you don’t, just love that they’re open with what they’re passionate about. 💙🌀
weedkiller came out around the time my boyfriend told me he never loved me and never planned on that changing so it reeeaally helped me scream out my rage
This break down video gave me everything I wanted to know . About the album so i continue my story the fact that she has battle stories in it it's even more wild cause I been excalty that in alot of my older stories/ songs.
you make me sick is so badass its the only song on weedkiller I blame because its so your own. I love that for you. I dont think this album sounds as fluent as demidevil. Im not a fan persay, but I have heard your albums a few times and your music videos. and your Coachella performance and how much the crowd ate it up. they liiivved. and believe it or not thats why I took a second glance. she seemed to enjoy herself more on demidevil. my two cents.
Weedkiller is probably inspired/referenced by the animated movie "the secret of nimh" from 1982, I may be wrong but that's exactly the story she describing and if it's true I'm flashed as I've already forgot the movie...need to see this movie again: Incoming NOSTALGIA 😀 I know that for her it's about a bad experiences she had but the Nimh reference may had some influence on this "story"
Anyone else feel Ashton is wasted as a music artist? I want to see her branch out into writing, voice acting and acting. I would like to see her do more stuff.
Am I the only one who doesn’t buy the aster character? Like Ash IS aster, I refuse to believe that dying star was based on a character and not raw personal feelings.. maybe this is ash’s way to not put her personal business out there but idk
Honestly same. I love designing characters, and often they end up taking inspiration from me in some way, wether or not I intend it. I have two characters that are extremely personal, more so than I realized when making them, and I feel like the same could be happening with Ash and Aster
Who do you want to see on 'Making The Album' next? ⬇
Melanie Martinez talk about her Portals album if you have not yet done her. Doja Cat with her Scarlet album would also be interesting.
@@TVHEAD69-247YES!!!!!! I bought portals a few month ago and bought scarlet last week and it got delivered. Those albums really spoke to me. Especially "light shower" and "agora hills"
ethel cain if you haven't already done preacher daughter!
She's frickin' gorgeous. Watching in the UK.❤
Chappell Roan!
the irony of ash being like “this is me being gross” and im just so incredibly attracted to it
fr this is my idea of perfection
SAME 😂
LITERALLY 🥵
yeess!! haha
Omg, I'm ridiculously attached! I feel you! ^^
She has the most calming speaking voice ever, that's so unexpected and amazing 😂
I looked WAY too deep into the 'mommy's okay' line, I viewed it as that mask that women have to put on when they are experiencing negative emotions because it has been taboo for them to express those things publicly but she was just talking to her dog. 💀
I though the stereotype was for women to be too emotional and for men to be ashamed of emotions?
MY LIFE IS A LIE!!!!
That works too tho haha!

we NEED a music video for Don't Look At It 😭😭😭
"Time is fleeting, I want clarity"
Thats exactly how I feel when people don't tell me what's up
Every song on this album is a banger. I can’t imagine how amazing it would’ve been to have this kind of music when I was a teenager. But even as an adult I can see myself in a lot of her music and a lot of it just in a fantasy kind of way which is fun too. The lyrics are just so catchy and perfect ugh I can’t get over it.
i agree, not a single song on the album is skippable. continuous bangers
This is such an amazing insight into how they constructed this album. I'm so glad this was recommended to me.
Same
OMG IS THAT LUCIFER FROM OBEY ME!?!??!?!
Honestly I adored this album, I went to the weedkiller concert yesterday. You could feel how much passion they put into this album, I connected strongly to the message of finding community, and connection, Dying star has a special place in my heart.
I love how she’s so real with every word. She’s so eternal.
Real
You make me sick helped me get through a terrible event in my life. While raging out feelings it still gave strength to push through. Love love Ashnikko!!!
I love that song to rage too! Ugh let out every emotion 😊
Reealll
same!
TMI for some but i went through a horrible hook up experience which was my very first aswell and this song really helped me vent all the rage out
I would absolutely devour an ashnikko and Björk collab
I saw them a few days ago in cologne germany, and when I tell the show was incredible! I took quite a few videos but genuenly the camera could not transfer how hype the actual experience was, the best 40€ I've spend

Please release the short story, I would honestly read all of them but the one for weedkiller especially
She has a graphic novel on her website called “Husk”
Im pretty sure that’s the story:))
She's hard af in her music and such a warm hearted light being in her regular life. Yin yang. My favorite new artist! So love her.
