Tonight (we are young)
"People don't want to think about lyrics anymore, they just want to be told something." -Nate Ruess Now that we have established that Nate probably wants us to think about his lyrics and could be saying things that are hidden under the surface, let's look at one of his most popular, yet misunderstood songs to date.

Underrated and Miscategorized Women in Music
The reason I love Gwen stefani so much is because she is the first woman I heard that ever sounded totally different and it was great, I grew up not listening to much rock. Country and pop was all I heard on the radio, and I loved to sing, but I didn't sound like any of those people, I can't sing like a pop diva like Whitney Houston and I can't sing like Reba and I was like my voice just doesn't fit in, and then no doubt came out with "don't speak" and I saw the video and thought, that girl is so cool and she has so many different levels and uniqueness to her voice, so I bought tragic kingdom and played it over and over and her lyrics were like mine, I'm like "there are like a thousand words in this song and it's okay, she has a lot to say in this one song and it's working," and it's like she was the first person on the radio that I personally could relate to, she didn't seem like some star in a distant land of fame and fortune, she said things in her songs that I personally went through and one day I was at a pacsun shopping and I was singing along to "my own worst enemy" by lit (playing on their tv) and my sister goes "you kind of sing like Gwen stefani" and I remember that moment to this day because it was awesome, for one that I wasn't singing her song and I wasn't trying to sound like her but I just had finally found a successful person that had the same style as me, and I learned to sing from her and i am just so glad she is like the way she is because it makes me feel like my weirdness is okay too and that regardless if you don't really sound the way people think you should, if you have a passion for something, keep doing it, because there is a reason you're doing it and you may not be a opera singer quality but who wants to listen to people that all sound the same, all the time? I've learned more of that afterward with other singers but Gwen was the first and best example of that and I'm so glad she was on mainstream and I got to hear it and learn from her.

I started to notice things about Taylor not long ago, all males (well most) seem to dislike her, a lot of people actually, but why? Well, as with most people who are very independent and self reliant in the music industry, the media loves to put her in a "don't take her seriously, she's a silly girl" category. I won't go into all the problems with the media and music industry and how the general public isn't even aware that they are being controlled and told who to like and dislike at any given moment based on who does what the record labels tell them to. That is a whole different issue, but I want people to know about it.

Underrated and Miscategorized Women in Music
I'm starting a series of articles based on females in the music industry that are underrated and/or mislabeled. There is a very popular phrase that says "don't judge a book by it's cover" and I truly think people still do this too often. Shakira was already popular in her home country when she came to america to expand her music career, it was near the era of Britney and Christina. People saw how beautiful she was and how well she could belly dance and thought of her as something like a "spanish britney or christina" (which is weird because Christina is actually spanish herself). Anyway, that was not the correct category to put Shakira into. Sure, she is beautiful and can dance, but she doesn't have much else in common with the other "pop princess" artists. For one, she writes almost all of her own songs, not only in spanish (her first language) but also in english, which to me is quite impressive. Another thing is that she plays several instruments very well: harmonica, guitar, drums, bongos. Her sound in her songs is not that "pop" if you ask me, they are more of a folk indie rock, plus her original look is more "rocker chick"

Movies/TV I Was Too Young For
As a child, no media was off limits (aside from the obvious x rated stuff). My parents never shielded me from any movie, TV show, music, etc. And I know a lot of people who probably think that is bad parenting and maybe for some children it could be. But for me it was a truly positive thing. Some of these movies and TV shows would be deemed as unfit for children but I was allowed to watch pretty much anything. And I'm going to point out all the ways those works are beneficial to growing minds.

Mean Girls Missed the Mark
I want to start this off by saying that I LOVE "Mean Girls". It is possibly one of the funniest, and most quotable movies in existence. I watch it every time I see it on TV. I mean how many times can you set through the entire thing before it stops being entertaining and hilarious?

Thank you Artists
As I thought about the last for years as someone living in the United States, I asked myself, "how did we all make it?" But of course not all of us did. There has been so much tragedy and hardship for so many. With the rise of hatred and racism. It was always there bubbling under the surface but certain political enablers had emboldened it. With banning certain people from the country, and the terrible separations at the border. Nothing has really felt alright for empaths for the past four years. And then the pandemic hit and everyone was forced to make a choice. To stay home and take precautions or to do whatever they wanted. But for most of us, we were faced with true disaster for the first time. So for those of us still hanging on and getting by, what has got us through four years of repeated chaos and then several months of heightened trauma?

Girly =/= Stupid
If a teenage girl would enjoy it, it must be shallow, stupid and bad. That’s what everyone is supposed to believe right? I am even guilty of this myself, when I tell a male to watch a “girly” show I’ll say, “I know it seems girly but it’s actually good”. Yeah, just think about that statement for a moment, read it again and really think about it. How horrible is that?

Beck and call… the police… on Joe
What is white knight syndrome? It is misogyny hiding in plan sight as chivalry. The idea that a male person is more adept at life and therefore needs to “save” women. In his previous role on Gossip Girl, Penn Badgley played a “sweet” stalker/writer named Dan Humphrey. And a lot of people are comparing his new character Joe, to Dan. Which is understandable. These guys do have some things in common. However, as far as we know, Dan never killed anyone. Or, you know, pleasured himself out on the sidewalk. But everyone is talking about these things, comparing Joe and Dan, and the conflict of Joe being a nice guy who happens to stalk and kill people. But is he really that nice? Even when he’s being nice? When I first finished the series, I was still reeling from the natural high of emotions that I had been dragged through. Now that I have had time to reflect, I’ve realized a few things. Red flags and little moments that tugged this gnawing part of me during viewing. A part of me that knew, even if I hadn’t known what Joe was doing behind Beck’s back, something was off with this guy. And it was partly Penn’s incredible acting, the sense of danger and instability in Joe’s face. But it was also the way he described himself, the way he saw himself and the way he saw women.
