Poppy Calls Out Heavy Music Gatekeepers Over ‘Name 5 Bands’ Tests

Poppy shared her frustration with music journalism and heavy music gatekeeping in a

strong Facebook post. She said many journalists still question her credibility with

shallow questions instead of serious discussion about her music. Poppy believes this

ignores real creativity and unfairly targets artists who change styles. As a Grammy-nominated

artist working with bands like Knocked Loose, she finds this approach outdated and disrespectful,

and wants more honest conversations about music.
