I never said LDR invented her sound by herself. She was indie, and she did influence a new niche in pop (Halsey, Melanie, Banks up to Selena and Taylor Swift) once she blew up. She did come up at the right time and the right place. I know you get it, but you're always contradicting yourself. How is she cliche when she popped up before becoming said "transparent cliche?"

Because her whole aesthetic was a cliche before it hit mainstream. She represented every wannabe hipster tumblr cliche you'd expect her to and thus certain people that
mightve been just outside of that thought she was being "innovative" or "indie" because they hadn't caught on just yet. But everything she was doing was already something everyone was seeing (flower crowns, minimal urban beats, "soft grunge" or whatever the hell people call/called it). She happened to start happening
right at the dawn of that flooding mainstream. Thus someone like yourself attributing her to being at the forefront of it becoming mainstream. But it was
already becoming mainstream with or without her. Thus why I say she was just at the right time at the right place.
So now with a new batch of girls like Halsey, Allie X, and Melanie Martinez kind of coming on the scene and representing tumblr cliches as well its kind of like alright. A batch of girls already did this a few years ago. You guys just seem late to the party.
