i think swag is my least favorite word, even when people use it ironically

swag meaning bad?

[mks]

Remember when 'swag' used to mean waste or shit over here only a few years ago? Shows how powerful American media is as it's now pretty much the same as their interpretation of the word.

Yeah, we used to only use that term for shit weed back in the early '90's.

I believe that your referring to Schwag ; "Shitty weed", Whereas Sawg means ; "Style, Usually shitty as well". BTW most people i know use the word Swag as a joke, to make fun of the stupidity of most modern "Rap "Artists"".

[capo ultra]

I'm well aware that people that don't like modern rap don't like modern rap terms

[kingGhost]

She was the only promising thing to roll through X Factor/BGT in years and she is getting rrrrrrrrrraped by the industry already. Waste.

what???? No....I.....WHAT???

Admittedly given how fucking awful X Factor is, that statement is hardly a seal of approval, but still. Her whole persona was a product of that industry, hideously merging of all popular trends to an disgustingly untalented mess;

-Mimics looks of Britain's heralded woman (Cheryl)
-'Raps' over trashy 'urban' mainstream beats (Lyrics jacked off various other artists)
-Sings in that warbely fake American accent like every other teen act
-Video/expressions akin to Rihanna/Nicki Minaj

Caked in make-up, continuously churning out "HATERS GON' HATE" which she perceives a valid response to criticism, and to seal it off backed by that sinister juggernaut Sony/Cowell.

First off, I watch about one episode of X Factor per year... so her being the best thing to come out of it isn't saying much. She still didn't make me tune in the week after. But that wasn't really my point. She's a teenager with a bit of talent and a lot of confidence that's still incredibly malleable... the industry can choose to do the above with her (which is what she would've done on her own down the local disco) or they could've paired her with some interesting musicians, given her a real direction and actually produced something worth listening to in a few years time.

But they'd rather have one throwaway album at number one for 2 weeks than build a career for someone. This is why the music industry deserves to die. It doesn't care about product.

Swag also = Shit We All Get
Like sports swag they hand out at stadiums etc.

Yeah schwag/shwag = dirt weed, mexican brick.

True that, but I mean, she's disposable anyway, there's confidence but no real talent there. I imagine Sony know this, hence why they churn out the lowest common denominator to cash in while they can. I mean I don't hate the girl, but there's nothing about her that can't be replicated by thousands of teens her age up and down the country. She's just copped every mainstream idea and managed to make them worse.

Thats actually a song? Are you sure its not a parody? Fucking hell. Get your game up all fucking right.
