You don't have to. I'm not asking you to convince me but merely see things from your view. Understand what you see as angst.

Her lyrics are cagey, they’re clever… she talks a lot of anxiety and dread of social situations… hence angst.

The issue is you’re defining things improperly. Angsty =/= angry, it means a feeling of deep anxiety or dread, typically an unfocused one about the human condition or the state of the world in general.

Cagey angst pretty much sums her schtick up, that and the talent in her voice and songwriting.

I understand! Like what the mind wants to say but the situation couldn't allow?

And I’m asking you what you’re going on about because what you said makes no sense.
