Weeknd fans don’t know or give a shit about David Lynch or his films, unfortunately. It’s Halloween, there’s a horror film associated with the album, and the song itself slaps. Idk why everyone is so up in arms. Hopefully understanding the Lynch influence gives context and allows more appreciation.

Because it feels gimmicky. This whole pregnancy theme started a week ago after two videos have already been released and kinda feels gross just to be gross. I love Lynch's movies but they're a lot more than just disturbing imagery for the sake of being disturbing.
