most of her songs are pretty fucking annoying imo

~~~~too skool for kool SHUT THE FUCK UP

it wasn't the kids who partied who were the outcasts anyway :/

[identity profile] sno.livejournal.com 2011-04-06 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
ugh, agree so much. especially that line.

(Anonymous) 2011-04-06 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, I think you're confused on what "too school for cool" means. It means you're the nerdy ones that are outcasts and never go to the parties and aren't one of the "cool kids". You are too into school to be considered cool.

I mean hey, dislike the song all you want, just know what you're disliking about it.

[identity profile] oflittlebrain.livejournal.com 2011-04-06 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
...do you think i'm a complete dumbass? i'm saying that the song is about partying it's fucking called RAISE YOUR GLASS. so if it's aimed at those "too school for cool" kids who don't party then WHY IS IS ABOUT PARTYING

also, stop trying to make "too school for cool" a thing gretchen it's NOT A THING

(Anonymous) 2011-04-06 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Because she's saying you SHOULD be partying and celebrating, and fuck all the "cool kids" that exclude you just because you might be a bit freaky or nerdy or gay or whatever. It's about celebrating people who don't fit in.

You seem like a very angry person.

[identity profile] oflittlebrain.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
weeeeell i think when i typed my post i sounded a lot more angry than i meant to?

tbh i may be butthurt because i seriously didn't party when i was high school. i felt like a loser all the time. i wasn't invited. and now (in college) i do party and am of higher social standing (whatever that means), but i feel like hearing this song in high school would have just made me feel shittier. i would not have been receptive to that "YOU SHOULD BE PARTYING LOL" message.

but hey, different strokes, everyone calm yo titties

[identity profile] oberongeiger.livejournal.com 2011-04-06 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
1) I don't think it's about partying. It's called "raise your glass" as in "show respect to/admiration for." It's not literally about fucking DRINKING. I see no evidence for that.

2) "Too school for cool" is a joke line, and not to be analyzed. That's why immediately after she says it, you hear her go "Er, wait, uh..." in the background.

[identity profile] oflittlebrain.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
not literally about fucking DRINKING. I see no evidence for that.

"my glass is empty... that sucks"

a joke line, and not to be analyzed

haha it's not like i'm analyzing it, i just find it annoying. it is not the only line in the song to do this... don't get fancy just get DANCEY aaahhh

[identity profile] bleed-peroxide.livejournal.com 2011-04-06 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Calm the fuck down, holy shit.

"Raise Your Glass" isn't literally about drinking. You also raise your glass to someone to show respect or admiration - best example, using her own music, was when she raised her glass to the girl in "Fuckin' Perfect".

"Too school for cool" is a joke, a play on a common phrase. She didn't mean it to be overanalyzed or to "become a thing".

"the song is about partying it's fucking called RAISE YOUR GLASS"

Raising your glass isn't necessarily about drinking and partying. In the music video the first person who raises their "glass" is a girl raising a milk carton.

And the whole thing is about how even if you're considered "too school for cool" you shouldn't let that stop you from having fun.

I'm sorry you take everything so literally. Your life must really hard.

(Anonymous) 2011-04-06 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I do like that song, but seriously, where does she live that the drunken party animals are the social pariahs? (and can I move there)

[identity profile] interrobangings.livejournal.com 2011-04-06 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
usually we agree
i can't disagree with you harder

[identity profile] oflittlebrain.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
well i think you should hate me now. disagreeing over a pop song is serious business

or something?

[identity profile] interrobangings.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
honestly though i like listening to her music

when i'm upset it helps me feel like "FUCK THE WORLD AND WHAT IT SAYS, I'M AWESOME AND NOTHING WILL CHANGE THAT"

[identity profile] oflittlebrain.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
i mean that's fine... i... sometimes i dance to ke$ha

i guess i didn't realize people were so protective of pink

Um, actually we did party. We just didn't do it with the cool kids. And now that we're grown up, we're still partying -- it's just that when we go to the bar, we're wearing ThinkGeek t-shirts, huddling around the lone arcade game, and discussing "nerdy" things. Oh, and coming up with ridiculous schemes.

And ya know, I'm now fondly remembering a party a friend of mine threw back...oh, six years ago? He's now an aeronautical engineer who does math for fun. Most of the people who attended would probably be considered geniuses (and no, I'm not one of them. I'm just a geek). When those of us who crashed there woke up the next day, we were still drunk. And shocked to find a hole in the wall.

I'm also recalling a story one of my stats professors told me. I can't remember the specifics, but the gist is this: one night, a group of MIT students got drunk and decided to measure a bridge near the college using a member of said group (I don't remember his name, so let's just call him Snoot). They spent a couple of hours laying him out, on his back, over and over, until they'd gone the length of the bridge. They then spray-painted said length in units of Snoot where it was sure to be seen by passers-by.

My point? The uncool kids party. We just don't do it in "cool" ways.

That bridge story just made my day.

[identity profile] fenrischained.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. This. Win forever.

And I'm with the other commenter on the bridge story. Thank you~
