My Take
What I admire about Meg White is how she turned restraint into a signature. Plenty of critics dismissed her drumming as primitive, but I hear it as fearless minimalism, the kind of playing that leaves room for the song to breathe. She was the unshakeable heartbeat behind one of the defining bands of 2000s garage rock, and her reserved nature only deepened the mystique. When the White Stripes ended in 2011, she simply walked away, and I find that quiet refusal to chase the spotlight oddly noble. Sometimes the bravest artistic choice is doing less and meaning it.
