Social Media Presence

Tyler has shown a penchant for using social media websites like Twitter to engage and interact with his fans, as well as other celebrities^[1] . As of March 2012, he has accumulated over 18,000 tweets on his Twitter account and boasts well over 800,000 followers . His account has also been verified by Twitter, which is only done to “establish authenticity of well known accounts so users can trust that a legitimate source is authoring their Tweets”^[2] . Tyler has gained notoriety for using social media to post comments and thoughts often construed as offensive or distasteful. In May 2011 he was criticized by the openly gay indie music duo Tegan and Sara in an open letter that accused Tyler of “misogynistic and homophobic ranting and raving” in his music and public comments^[3] . He crassly responded to the duo with an inflammatory tweet two days later^[4] . Tyler has also engaged in feuds with other celebrities through his Twitter account, notably Chris Brown^[5] .

What's problem with adding "(early)" to "horrorcore" in the infobox?

Why is it being undone? It seems like a fairly standard change, and other articles for musicians/bands (e.g. Earl Sweatshirt) have "(early)" added to their genres. Seeing as the article itself states that he shifted away from this direction 2013 onward, I don't see the problem with adding this.

this reversion by @BlueboyLINY cited the essay WP:AINTBROKE, which confused me because it seems to be a weird reason to list. DM5 Pedia ^(ctr) 02:55, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Opening sentence

Like the first sentence in Pharrell Williams Wikipedia article, how come "fashion designer" isn't a part of Tyler, the Creator's opening sentence? CY223 (talk) 04:33, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
