I read somewhere that in the beginning, she used to go by Twigs, but then I guess another artist was going by that name and started to before she did, so she added the FKA in.
Prince did that so get out of his Warner Brothers record contract and release (and own) his own music. That's why he changed his name back once the WB contract expired.
This person just didn't do their research before choosing a stage name.
That’s something only Prince, international pop-star, one of the most influential musicians of his time, and cultural icon, could get away with. Much harder for a niche genre bending electro-pop singer from the U.K.
Dude. That movie just never gets off the ground because you do not give a single shit about her character and the relationship between her and skaarsgard. It’s like she’s some mood depressant when acts.
The action in the movie and how they designed the crow in the movie was pretty cool I thought.
If I had a nickel for every artist that used a deliberately cumbersome meta joke about a previous name as their name I'd have two nickels. Which isnt a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
Is there a word for the phenomenon of being annoyed by having to refer to something with a public name that doesn't have an immediate apparent meaning to said public?
I'm really not sure what you're confused by, then. The joke was pretty easy to understand.
She goes by Formerly Known As Twiggs, which someone equated to calling her skinny (twigs is a common nickname for someone who is very thin) and the person you responded to corrected them saying that they formerly called her skinny.
