Pitty became one of the most talked-about subjects on Twitter this Wednesday, the 26th, after a series of posts about the trend in the music industry of returning to nostalgic styles like pop punk and, more recently, rock.
“Like this wave of thinking the 80s are cool and everyone's releasing riffs with that same little keyboard and I'm like, 'Dude, have you guys never heard of A-ha?' It's interesting to observe this cannibalistic process. The cream of the crop from the 1980s, ruminated and regurgitated as number one. Ah, time… It's seeing in practice the talk of generational conflict and temporal distancing. It's that the trend now is to be a rocker, right? I think it's beautiful. Now go, Brazil!”, the singer began on Twitter (via Poltrona Vip ).
It didn't take long for Anitta's fans to interpret the posts as a subtle dig at the pop singer's new single, called "Boys Don't Cry," which was inspired by a "half rock, half punk" , according to Glamour magazine. The song will be released this Thursday, the 27th.
According to accounts that followed Pitty's line of reasoning, the observation about this "trend" of being a rocker began after a comment about a cover of "Wind of Change" by the Scorpions , released by the indie pop band AWOLNATION .
With the backlash and angry responses from Anitta's fans, the singer from Bahia denied any veiled insults. "There are people who don't want to reflect, think about current times, argue calmly, they just want to stir up trouble that doesn't exist. Sad. I'm totally fine with everyone, guys. Stop seeing things where there aren't any, relax," she wrote.
