I resisted Chappell Roan forever and I eventually fell for her. I'm not sold on the clown makeup as I have some squicky feels about people being weird just to copy something they find novel rather than authentically expressing something within themselves, and I can't tell what her motivation is, does she feel she is a clown? Is this just what she likes? But, I decided ikc and she is great regardless. Gaga did the same thing and I was not sure what to make of her at first, either (that bacon dress, anybody remember?). Her voice and energy are wonderful and weirdness is good, as long as she's not making fun of us, or treating us as if we are costumes. We're all allowed to try on different things to see what feels like fits us the best, in that moment. Only love.

(I also literally moved to SoCal before grad school and worked as a server and started dancing at a club in West Hollywood in search of myself, in my early 20s, so, this resonates with baby sera very much.)
