VICTORIA DE ANGELIS!!! I’M LITERALLY DROOLING!!

I’m bi, I love women and damiano david exclusively.

Controversial IWBYS rant ahead:

I know I am kinda late to the party, but I really want to talk about this music video. I actually planned on making a YouTube vid about it, but decided against it for a number of reasons. Anyways, without further ado, I would like to present you my problem with IWBYS music video:

1) It turned out looking cheap and boring - sure, all members of MÅ are hotter than hell and seeing them doing what they’ve been doing made some people lose their sanity, but for me it suspiciously looked like they just took backstage video recordings of some radom photoshoots and decided to present them as a standalone music video;

which could be totally fine, but…

2) They made us wait for the release for so long - and what did we get it the end?? After heating our tension up for an unreasonably long time (!) and making us all rethink the concept of “soon” we got…

• no new/interesting ideas

• no storyline

• no creative visuals

basically, we got nothing original - neither in general, nor in terms of their art (come on, this video is basically Zitti E Buoni in underpants, with all those quick change of static posing shots, fisheye shots, extreme closeups… and that’s pretty much it, that’s the whole music video. Kinda meh, if you throw away all the 3 seconds of kissing).

And I know what you’re thinking - oh, shut up, Gabriella, they are young, they are only at the beginning of their way, they might not have enough money for crazy ideas - to which I’ll reply NUH-UH:

• it’s not like they couldn’t find a talented beginner director, who would’ve been happy to work with them for a plate of carbonara

• they all are wearing Gucci underwear - why hello, paid product placement

• plus, speaking about money, they got some real soldifromIWBYS merch they dropped just couple of days later - and this is how we get to my biggest problem with this video-THE FUCKING DISRESPECT.

Remember when I said I thought that this vid looked like a backstage photoshoot tape? Guess what - I was right!THE LAZINESS. THE AUDACITY. I was so mad, you have no idea. Filming merch-oriented photoshoots backstage and then setting up the whole campaign to make everyone think they are serving us something special? Wow. The guys really wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and I guess they pretty much succeed - I mean, I feel like I am the only one complaining. To me, it felt like they were more interested in milking money than in making art, which made me feel really angry, and then - very, very sad.

You see, I do realize that nowadays merch is a very important source of income for musicians - especially since 2020 made us all forget about live shows. The music itself isn’t their only bread and butter - I understand and respect that, but did Måneskin really have to be this lazy and blatant in trying to earn some money? They are incredibly talented people with so much things to say and so much potential to give. I truly considered them as ones of the few artists, who, in these capitalistic times, chose to be genuine and stay true to art and music. However, all that IWBYS business reeked with greed and money chasing so much, that now I cannot look at Måneskin the same way anymore… Will I still listen to their music? Sure. Will I support them as musicians? Of course. Will I be as excited about their dropout campaigns as I was before? Sigh. Not really…
