Now, I’m a musician, and personally, when I create music, I do it as a form of release or catharsis. The simple act of creating lyrics that tell a personal story is therapeutic enough, but recording it and putting it out onto a whole song simply adds to the experience of releasing the tension all these lyrics could hold for someone.
I think Abraham felt that way, and although many people back in 2012 dismissed the album for its auto-tuned and overly edited audio, that lyrical release gave her some sort of power over her story. As the years passed, more people began to notice the impact the lyrics created on her fans, with many thanking Abraham for her honesty and even for changing their lives. Her music became a form of catharsis for many dealing with their own troubles in their lives. My Teenage Dream Ended became an emblem of surviving whatever life threw at you, giving many listeners a space to feel listened to and safe.
Now, was My Teenage Dream Ended intentionally made to feel like outsider art? Probably not. But it found a home outside of the norms of what art is supposed to sound like, and with it, a bit of redemption amongst the rest of Farrah Abraham’s eventful life.
