One thing I really love about Tom MacDonald is that all his lyrics appear to be written by random fifteen year old redditors.

Good on him for giving the youth a shot at the music industry.

Yeah, he's written a total of about 4 songs, and that's including the mostly-album-filler two of "You don't want the smoke" and "Started from the bottom".

So he genuinely has other people writing this shit for him? Hilarious.

I meant it in the sense of "Gamefreak just made a second Pokemon game with Legends: Arceus" in that there is very little distinction between songs except that they fall into around four categories. Any from within a category are interchangeable and may as well be AI-generated.

Though there is a long-standing rumor that his girlfriend, Nova, does a ton of ghostwriting for him. Some evidence for this: She has long been a much stronger and more original writer than him (he had a whole album of aping Wayne), and can even do basic things like freestyling that you can't even imagine Tom doing. She herself never touches the right-wing edgelord stuff in terms of raps she delivers, even though she directs all the videos. Tom himself is defensive toward these rumors and has mentioned them in a song. Also Mac Lethal claimed to have dirt toward this effect.

Some stuff if definitely Tom, like his obsession with coining cute little catchphrases and other weird motifs, but generally we are expected to believe that he reinvented his style in a way that is way more like Nova right around the time he broke right.
