Yungblud has hit back at critics of his music, saying that he’s made it his “mission” to get them “wearing a Yungblud t-shirt next year”.The Doncaster singer-songwriter – real name Dominic Harrison – recently opened up to SPIN about being misunderstood as an artist. “To Exploited fans, I’m a fucking poser,” he said. “To fucking Ariana Grande fans, I’m scary.”However, Harrison conceded that receiving such a polarising response is part and parcel of being an authentic, well-known musician: “Ask any great, true, rock and roll artist.
They’ve been ridiculed. But this is real. You saw it last night.
Everyone’s dressed like each other, but there’s a thousand cultures in a room. It’s fucking liberating.”Elsewhere in the chat, he said: “One of the biggest misconceptions about Yungblud is that it’s fucking 15-year-old emo kids at the gig. It’s this beautiful array of diverse people.”Harrison told the outlet that every major act’s success is a result of them “say[ing] something or perform[ing] like a God”.“I’ve known Billie [Eilish] since she was in fucking dungarees,” he continued.
“Billie’s known me since I broke my leg and I was driving around America in a wheelchair on my first tour [in 2018] in a fucking van, staying in Motel 6’s, getting ringworm.“Don’t you fucking dare question my authenticity. ‘Cause I got to fucking put cream on. You know what I mean? My mission is to make those people slagging me off wearing a Yungblud t-shirt next year, because it’s not about telling them to fuck off.
