Idolator’s Favorite Miscellaneous Things Of 2013, From #JusticeForBionic To Morrissey’s ‘Autobiography’ To Miley 2.0
Miley, 2.0
Miley Cyrus spent most of 2013 shoveling dirt on Hannah Montana’s coffin. After relaunching as a tongue-poking twerk-enthusiast in the retrospectively tame “We Can’t Stop” video, the 21-year-old etched her name in the annals of pop culture by riding a wrecking ball sans clothes and fetishizing a foam finger at the MTV VMAs. Like many pop music observers, I didn’t know how to take Bangerz-era Miley to begin with, but what initially seemed forced and shocking now comes across as refreshingly kooky and cartoonish. She is the new Lady Gaga — only without the art school pretension. Well played. —MIKE WASS
