I didn’t catch all of Halsey’s set, but as soon as I walked over about halfway through, she mentioned Delaware’s recent decriminalization of marijuana before launching into “New Americana.” The song reaches to be an anthem of sorts for young broke kids railing against the current power class, and while it might be a bit too on-the-nose for its anger to really succeed, the chorus is fun (and really funny) to sing loudly: “We are the new Americana/ High on legal marijuana/ Raised on Biggie and Nirvana.” Everything we feared about Hot Topic T-shirt culture seems to have come true, but it’s better to just embrace the change of tide. Mall kids are now ascendant pop stars. Better to climb aboard than get ditched at the carousel.
