I have to admit that even in my forties I love feeling like I'm ahead of the curve in regards to music. I don't watch Tik Tok but it propelled Benee to sort of break the unknown bubble and TH-cams algorithm was correct in recommending Beebadoobadoaboobyduhbeepbopboop. I may have spelt that wrong. It's amazing seeing these seemingly polished professionals who are really just babies entering into the Big Money Arena.
I think the secret to young bands making it is that they don't overthink anything. They are essentially just having fun discovering stuff. Certainly Bea seems to have a great team and if she wasn't cute...well...enjoy making music purely for art's sake. Good luck doing that for long and not feeling bitter about it. I hope she keeps making stuff that moves her and doesn't get caught up in what other people think. Her instincts are great.
I still don't know who Pavement is which is funny to me since even Fred Armisen from SNL/Portlandia seemed to think they were a big deal. These young artists are often being influenced by artists I don't know. Certainly makes me feel ancient. But I identified greatly with Bea's punk phase and listening to Green Day's "Dookie". Hopefully Bea doesn't find herself imprisoned by a genre....it seems less and less necessary these days. Do what you like...that in itself will resonate with people. Thanks for posting the interview...

Imagine just casually flexing that you were at Sonic Youth’s house like it’s no big deal
