Re: Songs that kinda piss you off

That One Direction song, "You Don't Know You're Beautiful"(?) makes me rage every time I hear it. And I have a two-hour commute in a car with no iPod jack, so I hear it A LOT.

It's all about a girl who's shy and insecure and that's all well and good, us shy girls need love too. But when it goes "That's what makes you beautiful" is where I'm like, no, fuck you. Because that implies that a woman who does know she's attractive and is confident in herself is not beautiful, and it perpetuates the idea that women should be delicate, demure little wallflowers, and the fact that it's sung by a fucking boy band makes it that much more enraging because I can't help thinking of all the impressionable young girls (god when did I get this old?) who are absorbing that message from boys that they look up to.

Why do people have to think in extremes? There's a difference between 'this is what makes YOU beautiful' and 'this is the only thing that makes anyone beautiful, ever.'

Like, you can tell someone that their blue eyes are beautiful without implying that only blue are beautiful.

i think it's at least somewhat because we do live in a culture that encourages people to treat others (especially women) like the sum of their parts, and it's kind of a knee-jerk reaction when you hear that one specific thing being romanticized in a love song

at least for me

+1

I think the only song of theirs I hate more than "What Makes You Beautiful" is "Little Things".

Oh jesus fucking christ, that song enrages me. I actually wonder if whoever wrote it actually has a clue as to what they're implying with it.
