      Uppercase exists to add structure which helps us parse meaning more quickly. Not sure how removing that structure helps anything flow

        Influential artists such as Billie Eilish, 23, have reinforced this aesthetic, using lowercase in song or album titles such as don’t smile at me or my future.

        don’t smile at me or my future.
