This is a surprisingly trash take from Jez.

Gossip pieces aren’t a solid medical history with which to make a diagnosis. Those words have meanings, and no amount of Twitter momentum or internet snark changes that.

As a professional mental health and disability advocate (with a couple mental illnesses himself), thank you for saying this.

Are you kidding? You could get all of that set up for about 10k. You don’t need to be “super rich” to afford that.

Their point is that you’re not qualified to make a diagnosis. Schizophrenia isn’t funny.

Doubling down on the being a shitty person, I see!

Psychologist here! Please do not armchair diagnose someone with schizophrenia.

Please, for the love of god, male or female, if you put random stuff up your genitals, don’t have children. Thank you.

Dde whatevs, this album is still one of my favorites.

As a non-prescriptivist, I got her intent - life can be shitty in surprising and mundane ways. I don’t mind the “incorrect” usage of the word ironic because the definition of irony is not that far from away from they way she uses it in the song.

Yes! This is the right take. 

Head Over Feet was always my favorite song from Jagged Little Pill, and I think it still holds up! The other songs though, no thank you.

I’m sorry the person you were when you were younger embarrasses you so much now, but that does not make this album bad, it makes your perspective shallow.

Quintessential 90s album on vinyl?

I do think it is often (and most prominently) feminine-coded, but I have heard it in reference to things like popcorn action flicks, really shitty video games, or my personal guilty pleasure: giant robots.

Think about the term “guilty pleasure” and what’s often cited:  things women are “supposed” to like such as romantic comedies, pop music, chick lit.  Have you ever heard of anything masculine-coded as someone’s guilty pleasure?

The other day, my husband said to me, “I decided not to try to reason with you about buying Jagged Little Pill on vinyl and bought what was in our Amazon cart.” I gave him a pitying look and said, “It is an amazing album. You’ll see.You’ll see.”

Counterpoint from the stellar “What Makes This Song Great” series. 

I don’t agree with your take. I saw Alanis in concert last summer and she rocked all the songs from Jagged Little Pill and it absolutely still holds up. 

I have not listened to Jagged Little Pill in a very long time, but don’t ruin it for me. What’s next on your list? Pieces of You by Jewel?
