<\/p>\n

There has always been art that stood the test of time. Caravaggio with his paintings, Sylvia Plath with her writing, but what do these creatives have in common?\u00a0Controversy.<\/em>\u00a0They are remembered for the art they made and the lives they led. The double-edged sword for many artists alike is their work will often be judged not solely for its merit or substance, but also by the creator\u2019s personal life. This dichotomy echoes with musicians today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For modern listeners, choosing which artists to support is not as simple as it once was. Now, we know more about the personal lives of artists than ever before. Their views, scandals and lifestyles are on the internet for the world to see,\u00a0so naturally\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0become slightly more complicated to enjoy certain songs when you know so much about the person behind them. This is because singers and bands are more than just their music;\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0public figures, who hold their own views and make mistakes. Some forgivable, some not, however now we as audiences hold the power to decide when to stop listening because of these actions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The trouble of choosing when to do this is a task of defining boundaries, both cultural and personal. Culturally, we have \u2018cancelling\u2019 – something that\u00a0seemingly comes\u00a0from nowhere, where no musician is safe from its threat. Boycotting artists has become\u00a0common practice\u00a0online but it begs the question;\u00a0does it even work?\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For example, Kanye West was widely accredited for his music, but after a string of tweets that left fans feeling confused and shocked from his offensive remarks,\u00a0his image has undoubtedly shifted. Yet, many die-hard fans\u00a0maintain\u00a0that the quality of the rappers work still stands. Therefore, with so many\u00a0supporters\u00a0willing to turn a blind eye,\u00a0it seems as though some cases of controversy\u00a0do not sully the streams an artist\u00a0garners.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Though, for me, listening to a musician after uncovering something that they said or did\u00a0which I think is\u00a0insensitive\u00a0sours\u00a0the once enjoyable experience.\u00a0For example, The Smiths\u00a0who are\u00a0loved by\u00a0many and\u00a0adored for their dreamy\u00a0melodies and equally captivating lyricism,\u00a0have\u00a0Morrissey\u00a0as their singer.\u00a0Personally, this is\u00a0someone\u00a0who\u2019s\u00a0name\u00a0not only\u00a0makes me think of his work in the band,\u00a0but\u00a0of\u00a0his own impropriety.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Recently,\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0been criticized for\u00a0various\u00a0controversial\u00a0comments. Morrissey was praised when The Smiths were first becoming popular for his progressive stance, yet now his\u00a0beliefs\u00a0are increasingly polarizing.\u00a0Many of the things which\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0said in the media lead me to align myself\u00a0less and less\u00a0with the band,\u00a0even as someone who\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0a\u00a0huge\u00a0fan\u00a0of them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This experience\u00a0is true for many\u00a0supporters\u00a0of artists with similar reputations. It causes people to clarify that they are a fan of their songs\u00a0alone,\u00a0not the person themself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Does this mean people\u00a0shouldn\u2019t\u00a0listen to The Smiths? Of course not, but to\u00a0think\u00a0back to the question of boundaries in who\u2019s music we listen to,\u00a0deciding on what musicians you support is completely at the mercy of your own autonomy.\u00a0Music\u00a0is now so intrinsically linked to popular culture that artists cannot simply focus on their songs, they have a reputation to uphold, fans to please\u00a0and, above all, songs\u00a0to promote.\u00a0Cancel culture is fickle\u00a0and whilst there are far more extreme cases of musicians\u00a0being cancelled, sometimes\u00a0it can be difficult to just accept that the artists\u00a0aren\u2019t\u00a0who we thought they were.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0important to remember that listening to your favourite artist\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0mean we know them personally. However, when things are brought to light that we disagree with, it can be empowering to stop streaming their songs as an act of resistance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
